Figure Lengend Snippet: LB42708 and AZD5363 combination induces cell arrest at the G2/M or G1phase, and induces apoptosis. A and B Cell cycle distribution was determined by flow cytometry in A549 ( A ) and NCI-H1915 ( B ) cells following treatment with DMSO (control), 5 µM LB42708, 5 µM AZD5363, or their combination for 24 h. Results from three independent experiments were averaged, and the proportions of cells in each phase were plotted to illustrate cell cycle arrest. C and D Flow cytometry was used to assess apoptosis by detecting Annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide (PI) staining after 60 h of drug treatment (10 µM LB42708, 10 µM AZD5363, or their combination). The combined percentages of early and late apoptotic cells were calculated for each treatment group based on the average of three independent experiments and are presented as total apoptotic cell percentages. C A549 cells; D NCI-H1915 cells. E and F A549 ( E ) and NCI-H1915 ( F ) cells were treated with DMSO (control), 10 µM LB42708, 10 µM AZD5363, or their combination for 48 h. The levels of cleaved caspase-3 and caspase-7 were examined by western blotting. Quantitative results represent the average of three independent experiments and are expressed as mean ± SD. Statistical significance was evaluated using one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s test. Differences versus the control group were considered significant at * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001, and **** P < 0.0001; ns denotes no significant difference

Article Title: Factors that determine cell fate in mitotically arrested cancer cells

doi: 10.3389/fcell.2025.1691574

Figure Lengend Snippet: Time-resolved analysis of HeLa cell responses to mitotic delay in response to KSP and PI3K signaling inhibitors. (A) HeLa cells were cultured in the presence of green fluorescent annexin V and combinations of KSP inhibitor (MSTNH2) and PI3K pathway inhibitors (Akt, AZ5363; PI3K, and LY294002). Apoptosis and cell morphology were monitored hourly by throughput microscopy (four wells per condition and eight data points per well). Disruption of PI3K signaling significantly accelerated apoptosis in HeLa cells undergoing mitotic arrest as compared to cell death in controls, MSTNH2-treated, or PI3K inhibition alone. Error bars represent S.E.M. (B) Selected frames of live-cell imaging of HeLa cells that were untreated (control), cells arrested with MSTNH2 alone, with MSTNH2+ LY294002, or with MSTNH2+ AZD5363, undergoing mitotic arrest and mitotic cell death. Green color denotes early-stage apoptotic cells. Arrowheads highlight individual cells for each sequence. Time denoted in hours: minutes. Bar, 50 µm. (C) Analysis of single-cell behaviors from time-lapse microscopy data in (A) . The duration of mitosis from mitotic entry to cytokinesis (controls) or cell death (MSTNH2-treated, ± PI3K pathway inhibitors) was measured for 55 individual cells per condition, with the mean time in mitosis listed for each condition. ****p < 0.0001.

Article Snippet: To test for potentiation of cell death during mitotic arrest, cells were cultured in MSTNH2 in the presence or absence of the following drugs at concentrations based on the following studies: 20 μM LY294002 (Selleckchem, #S1105) , 20 μM AZD5363 (Selleckchem, #S8019) , 500 nM rapamycin (Selleckchem, #S1039) ( ) and 10 nM defactinib (Selleckchem, #S7654) ( ).
