Bim mediated the efficacy of I-BET762 and gemcitabine (GEM) action in PDAC cells. (A) Panc-1 cells were treated with I-BET762 at indicated concentration, indicated protein level were analyzed by western blotting. (B) Panc-1 cells transfected with si control or si PUMA were treated with the combination of 1 μM I-BET762 and 5 μM GEM. Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. (C) Indicated cell lines were treated with 1 μM I-BET762 for 24 h. Bim mRNA level was analyzed by real-time PCR. (D) Indicated cell lines were treated with 1 μM I-BET762 or 5 μM JQ1 for 24 h, and Bim protein level was analyzed by western blotting. (E) Bim protein level in Bim-KO cells was analyzed by western blotting. (F) The distance migrated by WT and Bim-KO Panc-1 cells after treatment was quantified. The migrated distance was quantified by measuring the difference at time 0 and 24 h and was normalized to control. (G) I-BET762 at 1 μM inhibits the invasion of WT and Bim-KO Panc-1 cells. The invaded PDAC cells were quantified by counting the cells at the bottom of the inserts. (H) WT and Bim-KO Panc-1 cells were treated with 1 μM I-BET762, 5 μM GEM, and their combination for 72 h. Cell viability was determined by the CCK-8 assay. (I) WT and Bim-KO Panc-1 cells were treated with 1 μM I-BET762, 5 μM GEM, and their combination for 24 h. Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. The results of (B,C) and (G) are expressed as the means ± SD of 3 independent experiments. **P < 0.01.
