ac Evaluation of xenografts treated with VER and/or ALC. Tumor lysates were immunoblotted with the indicated antibody. The experimental protocol is shown in (a). Increased expression of Mcl-1 and Bcl-xL in xenografts after ALC treatment (b). The increased expression of the two proteins were canceled and apoptosis activity was increased when the xenografts were treated with ALC + VER (c). de Combinatorial therapy with VER and ALC provided a longer tumor remission in ALK-rearranged xenografts on nude mice. Tumor volume curve (d) and tumor volumes on day 50 (e) in 34 xenografts generated from H2228, an ALC-sensitive cell line. Vehicle and VER monotherapy groups were subjected to observations for 28 days only to avoid unnecessary pain. Significance was evaluated using unpaired t-test. fg A tracer experiment using KTOR1 xenografts on NSG mice. Tumor volume curve (f) and tumor volumes on day 36 (g) in 35 xenografts. Significance was evaluated using unpaired t-test. hi Combinatorial therapy with VER and ALC provided enhanced tumor control in ALC-resistant ALK-rearranged xenografts on nude mice. Tumor volume curve (h) and tumor volumes on day 35 (i) in 25 xenografts generated from H2228-ARY, an ALC-resistant cell line with YAP1 dependency. Vehicle and VER monotherapy groups were subjected to observations for 18 days only to avoid unnecessary pain. Significance was evaluated using unpaired t-test. VER verteporfin, ALC alectinib.
