Combination of NVP-AEW541 and lapatinib cooperatively inhibits the growth of NVP-AEW541 resistant murine rhabdomyosarcoma primary cell cultures with Igf1r/Her2 complexes. Cell viability assay for Naïve, untreated (U20325; A) and NVP-AEW541 innately resistant mouse rhabdomyosarcoma primary culture (U44676; B) treated with varying concentrations of NVP-AEW541, lapatinib, or a combination of both.

The upper panel shows a representative autoradiogram from three independent experiments and the arrow represents the ABCG2 band photo-crosslinked with [125I]-IAAP.

Reversal effect of WHI-P154 on the sensitivity of NCI-H460/MX20 cells to mitoxantrone. The figure showes the survival curves of cells at different concentrations of mitoxantrone with or without WHI-P154. Cell viability was determined by MTT Assay. NCI-H460 is lung cancer cell line while NCI-H460/MX20 is ABCG2 overexpressing drug (mitoxantrone) selected cell line.

C57/BL6 mice (5 mice/group) were intraperitoneally injected with daphnetin (DFN, 5 mg/kg) or DMSO, and then challenged with LPS (37.5 mg/kg) or saline. 16 h after LPS challenge, mice were sacrificed, and then lung and serum were collected. c, Representative photomicrographs showed H&E staining of lung tissue.

(B) Immunohistochemical staining for α-actinin and EdU showed that EGFR inhibitor (PD-168393), JNK inhibitor (sp-600125), and SP-1 inhibitor (mithramycin A) could abolish the effect of TIMP-3 siRNA in promoting cardiomyocyte proliferation. n=3 per group for Western blot. At least 2000 cells were quantified in each group. Data are shown as mean±SEM and reflect at least three independent experiments. Scale bar: 100 μm. *, P<0.05, ***, P<0.001 versus respective control.

d) Western blots for phosphorylation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and MET, cleaved PARP as an apoptotic marker, and b-actin in HCC827 and their resistant clones. Total cell lysates were extracted 24 h after exposure of DMSO, 0.5 μM erlotinib, 0.5 μM CNX-2006, PHA-665752 and their combinations.

Western blot analysis for total (t-) and phosphorylated (p-) EGFR, AKT, ERK1/2, and β actin in H1975 parental and resistant (COR#3, AZDR#1) cells.

C, EGFR L718Q and L844V Ba/F3 cells retain sensitivity to irreversible quinazoline EGFR inhibitors. Cells were treated with different drugs at the indicated concentrations, and viable cells were measured after 72 hours of treatment and plotted relative to untreated controls. For Western blot analysis, 3T3 cells expressing the respective constructs were treated with different drugs at indicated concentrations for 16 hours. Cell extracts were immunoblotted to detect the indicated proteins. D, EGFR Del 1/L718Q Ba/F3 cells have a growth disadvantage. Equal number of cells was seeded in the presence of or absence of EGF or IL3. Cell number was evaluated in triplicate at the indicated time points.

Effects of combined treatment with erlotinib and NPS-1034 in HCC827/ER cells with AXL activation. Lysates were immunoprecipitated with an anti-AXL antibody and immunoblotted with antibodies for phosphotyrosine (p-Tyr) and AXL. HCC827/ER cells were treated with erlotinib. E, erlotinib; N, NPS-1034. **, P < 0.001 for the combination of erlotinib plus NPS-1034 versus either the control or drug alone.

Inhibition of signaling pathway activation in lung tumor cell lines by kinase inhibitors. Lung tumor cells were cultured in 10% FBS until reaching ∼80% confluence and then the cells were starved in serum-free medium for overnight, followed by 4-hour treatment with the inhibitors. Cell lysates were then prepared and used for determination of the pathway activation signals by the CEER assay.

Immunoblotting analysis of H3122 and H3122-CER cells showing that brigatinib did not inhibit EGFR phosphorylation (p-EGFR). Total EGFR (t-EGFR) is also shown. Actin was used as a loading control. The cells were treated with brigatinib for 2 hours.

After starved in serum-free medium for 24h, A549 cells incubated with the indicated concentrations of Chrysophanic acid for 3h,followed by 15-minute stimolation of 100ng/ml EGF
