BPM31510 affects tumour size and alters mitochondrial respiration in vivo in a MIA PaCa-2 xenograft mouse model of pancreatic cancer. (a) BPM31510 (25 mg/kg, i.p., B.I.D.) effects on tumour volume in an MIA PaCa-2 xenograft pancreatic mouse model. Representative tumours from an untreated control and BPM31510-treated mouse are shown (inset). The data were analysed by Student’s t test; *p < 0.05 compared to control mice. (b) CoQ10 levels in tumours after BPM31510 treatment. Data represent n = 11 saline-treated mice and n = 12 BPM31510-treated mice. Data were analysed by Student’s t test. *p < 0.05 vs control. (c,d) BPM31510 effects on (c) state 3 G3PDH respiration and (d) state 3 Complex II respiration in MIA PaCa-2-derived epithelial cancer cells enriched from excised xenografts. N = 6 per group. The data represent the means + SEM and were analysed by a Mann–Whitney non-parametric test; ****p < 0.0001 compared to saline.
