(A) Cell viability of MCF10A PIK3CA MUT cells following treatment with increasing concentrations of rapamycin, torin 1, BYL-719, BKM120, MK2206 or GSK690693 for 72 hours. (B) Unsupervised hierarchical clustering of the median phospholipid intensities of 5 PIK3CA MUT breast cancer cell lines (MCF7, T47D, MDAMB361, MDAMB453 and BT474) treated with 20 nM rapamycin, 100 nM BYL-719 and 150 nM MK2006 for 72 hours. (C) Immunoblot analysis of mTORC1 and mTORC2 signaling in the PIK3CA MUT isogenic panel. Cells were serum and growth-factor starved for 16 hours and subsequently stimulated with 5% horse serum, 20 ng/ml EGF, 0.5 mg/ml hydrocortisone and 10 μg/ml insulin for 30 min. Data in (A) are presented as the mean ± SEM of n = 4 biological replicates and are representative of at least two independent experiments. n.s., not significant; ∗p ≤ 0.05; ∗∗p ≤ 0.01. P values in (A) were calculated with unpaired, two-tailed Student’s t test.
