Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 1. SMARCA4 is a t arget able, tumor-specific vulnerability of adrenergic neuroblastoma (NB). ( A ) Crystal violet staining of adrenergic (ADRN) and mesenchymal (MES) NB or control cell lines treated with serial titration of SWI / SNF inhibitor BRM014. Orange squares indicate MYCN amplification or 1p36 deletion. Quantified in Supplementary Figure 3A. ( B ) R epresentativ e images of NB cells treated with lethal (1 μM) and sub-lethal (1 0–1 00 nM) BRM014 or vehicle control (DMSO). ( C ) Preparation of neural crest cells (NCCs) and NCC-derived peripheral neurons from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). ( D ) Cell growth over time upon treatment with BRM014 or DMSO. Error bars: mean ± 95% confidence interval ( N = 3 independent samples), abbreviations used as in (C). ( E ) Representative images of IMR-32 cells upon expression of shRNA mediating SMARCA4 or SMARCA2 knock-down, or non-targeting control (NTC). (F) Western blot analysis of SMARCA4 and SMARCA2 levels after SMARCA2 knock-down compared to NTC. ( G ) Western blot analysis of SMARCA4 and SMARCA2 levels in IMR-32 SMARCA4 degron-containing cell line (SMARCA4-EGFP-mAID) after 2 h of vehicle (EtOH) or auxin treatment. ( H ) Quantification of IMR-32 (WT) and SMARCA4-EGFP-mAID (mAID) cell line viability upon treatment with BRM014, auxin or vehicle controls for 96 h. Error bars: mean ± SE. ( I ) Experimental design of animal study. ( J ) Small animal MRI imaging and kidneys extracted from animals comparing BRM014- and vehicle-treated animals ( N = 11 per group). ( K ) Tumor growth time course measured by small-animal MRI. Error bars: mean ± SE. ( L ) Comparison of tumor weights of BRM014 and vehicle control treated animals. Error bars: mean ± SE. ( M ) Representative H&E staining of tumor sections comparing BRM014- and vehicle-treated animals.
