Fig. 3. Lapatinib fails to modulate the ErbB2–HSF1–mutp53 axis in lapatinib-resistant cells.

a Downregulation of HSF1, mutp53, and Mdm2 in lapatinib-sensitive parental BT474, but not in lapatinib-resistant BT474R cells, treated with indicated lapatinib concentrations for 24 h (a). b Lapatinib (300 nM, 48 h) blocks ERBB2 activation (measured by phospho-ERBB2) and its downstream effector Hsp70 in murine lapatinib-sensitive (1251, 1252, 1253), but not in lapatinib-resistant 125R cells. Hsc70 served as a loading control. c Lapatinib (300 nM, 24 h) blocks HSF1 activation (measured by phospho-Ser326) in human lapatinib-sensitive BT474, but not in lapatinib-resistant BT474R cells after heat shock (42°C, 30 min). Cells were pre-treated with lapatinib followed by heat shock. Western blot analyses. GAPDH as a loading control
