Dual PI3K/SHP2 inhibition blocks 3D organoid formation in two patient-derived breast cancer models and tumor growth in a xenograft model. a Representative images of organoids grown from patient-derived PIK3CA mutant HBCx4B TNBC cells after 10 days of treatment with BYL719, SHP099 or the combination thereof with the indicated concentrations. Magnification: 400×. b Normalized quantification of HBCx4B organoid formation in (a). Organoid diameter of 40 μm was taken as cut-off. Inhibition of organoid formation in the BYL719/SHP099 combination treatment is significant (p ≤ 0.01), calculated by one-way ANOVA. Experiment was performed on two biological replicates. c Normalized luminescence after CellTiter-Glo cell viability assay on the HBCx4B organoids of (a). Organoids treated with BYL719/SHP099 have significantly lower luminescence (p ≤ 0.01) compared to the monotreatments, calculated by one-way ANOVA. RLU: Relative Light Unit. Experiment was performed on three biological replicates. d Average tumor volume over time in nude mice injected with 2 × 106 HCC1806 cells, treated with either vehicle, 15 mg/kg BYL719, 75 mg/kg SHP099 or the combination of 15 mg/kg BYL719 + 75 mg/kg SHP099. Three mice per group were treated daily starting at day 10 after injection. Inhibition of tumor growth in the BYL719/SHP099 combination treatment is significant (p ≤ 0.05), calculated by one-way ANOVA
