Figure 6.

(a) Efficacy of afatinib (-◊-), copanlisib (-□-) and a combination of afatinib and copanlisib (–Δ–) in the HER2-positive cell lines HCC1569, BT474, and HCC1954 stably expressing ERBB4-WT, V721I or S303F and (b) p-values for the difference in efficacy of the combination. Acid phosphatase toxicity assays were used to investigate the effect of a serial dilution of the drugs on these HER2-positive breast cancer cell lines over a 5-day period and the resulting dose-response curves were analyzed with CalcuSyn (Biosoft). Error bars are representative of standard deviations across triplicate experiments.

* = p < 0.05 relative to WT as calculated by the Student’s t test (two-tailed with equal variance). Afatinib:Copanlisib was tested at a 1:1 ratio (top conc 100nM:100nM).

HER, human epidermal growth factor-like receptor; WT, wildtype.
