a Expression of a cohort of genes driving acquisition of CDK4/6i resistance was significantly suppressed in the context of combination treatment (n = 3). The P values were calculated by Student’s t-test (two-sided). **P < 0.01. b Immunoblot showing the RB1 and CDK6 protein levels in normal parental and CDK4/6i-resistant daughter breast cancer cells. c Immunoblot showing that addition of D 4476 potentiated the suppressing efficacy of ribociclib in CDK4/6i resistant cells. d RT-qPCR analysis showing that combination of D 4476 overcomes the CDK4/6i resistance in suppressing cell cycle gene transcription in CDK4/6i-resistant MCF7 cells (n = 3). The P values were calculated by Student’s t-test (two-sided). **P < 0.01. Cells were treated with ribociclib (1 μM), D 4476 (50 μM), and ribociclib-D 4476 combination, respectively, for 24 h. e Combination of D 4476 potentiated the efficacy of ribociclib in suppressing colony formation in MCF7 and T-47D resistant breast cancer cells. f Pharmacokinetic curve of CK1ε inhibitor D 4476 in vivo. A single dose of D 4476 was administrated in ICR mice and blood concentration of D 4476 at indicated time points was measured. g 4T1 xenograft assay showing that combination of D 4476 with ribociclib led to decreased tumor weight. The P values were calculated by Student’s t-test (two-sided). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. h Combination of D 4476 with ribociclib retarded MDA-MB-231 tumor growth in vivo. Statistical differences were assessed by two-way ANOVA (two-sided). *P < 0.05, **: P < 0.01. i Immunoblot analysis of MDA-MB-231 tumors treated with vehicle, ribociclib, D 4476, and Combo (ribociclib-D 4476), respectively. j Combination of D 4476 with ribociclib resulted in significant improvement of overall survival in triple negative breast cancer PDX model. The P value was calculated by log-rank test. **P < 0.01. k Combination of ribociclib, D 4476 and Trastuzumab retarded BT-474 tumor growth. Data are presented as mean values ± SEM.
