(B) Schematic representation describing workflow for synthetic lethality screening with an epigenetics compound library in wtPTEN/mtPTEN cell pairs. (C) IC50 plot of the screening results is shown. Drugs that were selective for wtPTEN were identified, including KW2449 and ENMD-2076. Color codes represent the class of drugs. There were no drugs found selective for mtPTEN cells.

The impact of 80 anti-cancer FDA-approved drugs on both ERαlevels and DNA content in 4OH-tamoxifen resistant MCF-7cells as detected by in-cell Western Blotting and in-cell PI staining. (a) Schematic of the experimental settings forin-cellWestern Blotting andin-CellPI staining. All drugs and controls were administered in quadruplicate. For details, please see the text. (a') List of the mathematicaloperation used to analyze the results obtained by all the performed experiments and the statistical parameters used to select potentialpositive hits. (b) Venn diagram for the expected lists of the positive hits extracted from the results, with validation workflow. Robust Z scores(Z*) graphs for drug-treated samples both for ERαlevels (c) and DNA content (d) in 4OH-tamoxifen resistant (Tam-Res) MCF-7 cells; grayarrows indicate the Z* for drugs considered as positive hits, per a threshold set as Z* > 1 (Gray lines). (e) Venn diagram depicting the identifieddrugs that contemporarily reduce ERαlevels (c) and DNA content (d) in Tam-Res MCF-7 cells.

(A) Pie diagrams depicting the pharmaceutical categories in the library. (B) Synthetic protocol used for drug administration to MCF-7 cells. (C) Assay data depicting the quantitation of ERa levels in each one of the 162 performedWestern blots. Z0 is the Z factor for negative (DMSO) and positive (E2) controls in each Western blot analysis. Robust Z scores (Z*) graphs for drug-treated samples alone (D), in combination with E2 (E) or for the effect of E2 within each drug-treated sample (i.e., E2þdrug/drug alone) (F); red arrows indicate the Z* for drugs considered as positive hits. Red lines indicate the threshold used for analysis.

(A, B) PANC1 cells were treated with a kinase inhibitor (10 μM) for 24 hours and then cell viability was assayed. Ranking of the anticancer activity of 273 kinase inhibitors is shown by the heat map; one block represents a kinase inhibitor (A). The top five anti-cancer kinase inhibitors are shown in panel B (n=3, *p < 0.05 versus untreated group).
