TC1889 cells were treated with pharmacological inhibitors against IGF-1R (NVP and BMS), as well as a neutralizing IGF-1R antibody (aIR3) and cell viability was assessed using MTT-assays. Mouse IgG1 antibody was employed as a reference control for the effects of aIR3 at respective concentrations. Assays were performed in sextuple. Data are expressed as the mean SD (n 3). B, induction of cell death. TC1889 cells were treated with pharmacological inhibitors against IGF-1R as well as a neutralizing IGF-1R antibody and cell death was evaluated by FACS-analyses following PI-staining. Data are expressed as the mean SD (n =3).

GSK1838705A suppresses glioma tumor growth and induces apoptosis in vivo. (A) Following inoculation of U87MG cells, formulated vehicle control or GSK1838705A (4 and 8 mg/kg) was injected into the corresponding group of nude mice (n=6/group) once daily. The tumors were measured every other day for 11 days and the tumor volumes were calculated. Starting on day 7, the differences between the treatment groups (4 and 8 mg/kg) and the vehicle control group were significant (P<0.05). (B) Body weights of the mice during the course of treatment were measured as an indication of significant cytotoxic effects. The data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation. No significant differences are observed between any two of the groups during the course of treatment. (C) At the end of treatment, the tumors were harvested. GSK1838705A (8 mg/kg) induced the apoptosis of tumor cells in vivo, determined using a TUNEL assay (green) and nuclear staining with Hoechst (blue). Representative images are shown (magnification, ×40). TUNEL, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling.

IGF-1R is key determinant of the EI24-mediated gefitinib sensitivity. (A and B) EI24-knockdown cells were treated with the indicated concentrations of inhibitorsfor 24 h before cell viability was measured by the MTT assay. Error bars, S.D., p-values were calculated using unpaired t-test.*p < 0.01,**p = 0.0003,***p < 0.0001.
