Fig. 3. Sensitivity of ovarian cancer cell lines to IAP inhibitors.

Fig. 3

a Cytotoxicity of the IAP inhibitor BV6 in a panel of 17 ovarian cancer (OC) cell lines (CLs). b BRCA1-mutated OC CLs (BRCA1-MUT) are on average more sensitive to BV6 than BRCA1 wild-type (BRCA1-WT) OC CLs. c Cytotoxicity of the IAP inhibitor LCL161 in a panel of 17 OC CLs. d BRCA1-mutated OC CLs are on average more sensitive to LCL161 than BRCA1 wild-type OC CLs. e After the silencing of XIAP, using 25 nM siRNA (siXIAP), the proliferation of the BRCA1-mutated OC CL UWB1289 is downregulated in comparison to the BRCA1-restored OC CL UWB1289-BRCA1. These data were normalised to the proliferation of the same CLs after treatment with a control scrambled siRNA. f Evaluation of the level of apoptosis after treatment with BV6 (_B) and LCL161 (_L). Apoptosis is shown as a percentage increase of that in corresponding control-untreated CLs (n = 3). Note: BRCA1-mutated OC CLs are highlighted with a pattern, the BRCA1-methylated OC CL is highlighted with oblique banding, the BRCA1-restored OC CL is highlighted with horizontal banding and BRCA1 wild-type OC CLs are highlighted in white in the bar graphs.
