Figure Legend Snippet: Pharmacological inhibition of CYP3A5 suppresses GBM growth and sensitizes GBM to TMZ. (A) Structure of Cobicistat (Cobi). (B) NAD-to-NADH ratios of GSCs treated with indicated concentrations of Cobi ( n = 3). p -values obtained by one-way ANOVA. (C) Oxygen consumption rate (OCR) alterations of GSCs treated with indicated concentrations of Cobi ( n = 3). p -values obtained by one-way ANOVA. (D) Cell viability assay with the increasing concentrations of Cobi ( n = 3). p -values obtained by one-way ANOVA. (E) Immunoblots of cleaved PARP, γH2AX, CD133, and PUMA in GSCs treated with Cobi and TMZ. (F) Calculation and visualization of synergy scores for drug combinations of Cobi and TMZ. (G) Representative images and quantification of cell apoptosis measured by flow cytometry ( n = 3). p -values obtained by one-way ANOVA. (H-I) Representative images and quantification of bioluminescence intensities of nude mice intracranially implanted with U87MG GSCs in treatment of DMSO, TMZ(5 mg/kg), Cobi(10 mg/kg) or TMZ(5 mg/kg) + Cobi(10 mg/kg) by gavage ( n = 5). p -values obtained by one-way ANOVA. (J) Kaplan-Meier survival curves of the nude mice ( n = 5). p -values obtained by Log-rank test. (K) Representative images of H&E staining of tumor sections. Scale bars, 2 mm. (L) Representative images and quantification of immunofluorescence staining of Ki-67 ( n = 5). p -values obtained by one-way ANOVA. Scale bars, 50 μm. (M) AST and ALT activity in serum of mice with indicated treatment. (N) Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis of Cobi (10 mg/kg, by gavage) concentration in blood plasma, brain, and xenografts from tumor-bearing mice at indicated time points ( n = 3 mice per group). AUC, the area under the curve. Cmax, maximum concentration. Error bars represent mean ± SD. Significant results are presented as, ns p > 0.05, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001
