Efficacy of QS1189 in cells with acquired resistance to venetoclax. (a) Parental and venetoclax-resistant cells were treated with venetoclax at the indicated doses for 72 h. Cell viability was measured using the MTT assay. (b) Basal levels of pro- and anti-apoptosis bcl-2 family proteins in parental and venetoclax-resistant cells were analysed by immunoblotting. (c) Maver-1/VR-1 and Maver-1/VR-2 cells were stably transduced with lentivirus expressing shBcl-xL. Knockdown of Bcl-xL was confirmed by immunoblotting. (d) shBcl-xL-infected cells were treated with venetoclax for 72 h. Cell viability was assessed by MTT assay. (e) Cell viability was assessed by MTT analysis of parental and venetoclax-resistant cells treated with QS1189 for 72 h. (f ) Cells were treated with 1 μM QS1189 for 6 h. The indicated protein levels were analysed by immunoblotting.
