Figure Legend Snippet: mTORC2 inhibition prevents proliferation and self-renewal in GSCs (A) IB analysis of CD97, p-S6K, p-AKT, S6K, AKT, ARHGAP1, BZW1, and BZW2 levels in three different GSCs (83, X01, and 528 cells) infected with shCtrl or shCD97 lentivirus. (B) RT-qPCR of BZW1 expression (left), cell proliferation assay (middle), and LDAs (right) in 83 and X01 GSCs infected with shCtrl and shCD97 lentivirus, followed by BZW1 lentivirus infection. (C–F) IB analysis of p-S6K, p-AKT, S6K, AKT, ARHGAP1, BZW1, and BZW2 levels in three different GSCs (83, X01, and 528 cells) treated with Torin1 48 h (C), AKT inhibitor IV 24 h (D), 24 h rapamycin (E), and JR-AB2-011 24 h (F). (G) Cell proliferation assays (left) and LDAs (right) were performed on 83 and X01 GSCs after treatment with JR-AB2-011. (H) Kaplan-Meier survival curves of mice orthotopically implanted with X01-Luc cells ( n = 5, 1 × 10 5 cells/mouse) and intraperitoneally (i.p.) treated with JR-AB2-011 (4 mg/kg) or vehicle. MST, median survival time. Log rank (Mantel-Cox) test. (I) Schematic representation of the CD97-related signaling pathway regulating the proliferation, self-renewal, and tumor progression of GSCs. Vinculin and GAPDH, and β-actin were used as loading controls in IB, β-actin was used as a loading control in RT-PCR. All error bars represent mean ± SD ( n = 3 independent experiments) in (B) and (G). ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001, ∗∗∗ p < 0.001, ∗ p < 0.05, t test. See also Figures S12–S15 .
