Fig. 8

a Effect of combined treatment of cisplatin with ATR, ATM or CHK1 inhibitors on HCC1937 cells; n = 4 biologically independent experiments. b Quantification analysis of combined drug treatment in HCC1937 cells. Cisplatin (2.5 µM), ATR, ATM or CHK1 inhibitor (0.5 µM); n = 3 biologically independent experiments. c Killing effect on TNBC cells treated with cisplatin combined with different inhibitors. The colour in the heatmap represents the relative values of the areas under the curves. d In vivo effect of cisplatin combined with ATR inhibitor (AZD6738) on tumours in the PDX model (TM00091), which carries the BRCA1 mutation and highly expresses NOTCH1. Six mice were used for each treatment group. e IHC staining of Ki67 and cleaved caspase-3 in PDX tumours after drug treatment. Five tumours from different mice were examined for each treatment group. f Quantification analysis of dead cells (arrowhead), including cleaved caspase-3-positive cells (arrow) in each treatment group. Six to ten areas from different tumours were counted. g Illustration of the ICN1 function for TNBC formation in BRCA1-defective conditions. The t-test was used to determine the significance of differences between the different sets of data. Data are presented as mean values ± s.d. * indicates p < 0.05.
