Fig. 6. Synergistic cell death induction by venetoclax and A-1331852 in BCP-ALL cell lines.

Fig. 6

Cell death was assessed upon exposure of BCP-ALL cell lines to increasing concentrations of venetoclax and/or A-1331852 for 48 h. A The heatmaps show dose-response matrix analyses based on cell death assessed by propidium iodide (PI) staining of the cell lines indicated. N = 3 independent experiments in triplicates. B Interaction landscapes of the combination effects are shown. δ-scores were calculated using synergyfinder. The color encodes the δ-score (red synergistic, white additive effect and green antagonistic) and the Bliss synergy scores shown indicate the average score over the dose-response matrix. C Association of the calculated Bliss synergy scores with the delta priming responses to BAD + HRK (reflecting combined dependence on BCL-2 and BCL-XL) in all cell lines. Spearman correlation; r, correlation coefficient; p, significance. D Annexin V and PI staining following exposure to 10 nM venetoclax and/or 100 nM A-1331852 for 48 hours. Quantification of viable cells (Annexin V-/PI-), early apoptotic cells (Annexin V + /PI-), late apoptotic cells (Annexin V + /PI + ) and necrotic cells (Annexin V-/PI + ) is shown. N = 3 independent experiments in triplicates.
