BCL-xL antagonism potentiates regorafenib activity on liver cancer cells. (A,B) Hep3B and HepG2 cells were treated for 16 h with the BCL-xL inhibitor A-1331852 and regorafenib at different concentrations, and cell viability was quantified by MTT. (C,D) Hep3B and HepG2 cells were treated for 16 h with the BCL-2 inhibitor ABT-199 and regorafenib at different concentrations, and cell viability was quantified by MTT. (E) Hep3B cells were transfected with siRNA control or against BCL-xL and BCL-2 and after 48 h treated with regorafenib at different concentrations, and cell viability was quantified by MTT. (F) RNA interference was confirmed and protein levels of BCL-xL, BCL-2, and β-actin are shown in parallel panels. (n = 3) * p < 0.05 vs. control or siCTRL cells.
