Figure Lengend Snippet: Combination of c-Met inhibitor with AZD4547 induced cell death of AZD4547-resistant cells overexpressing c-Met. ( A ) To determine the pathway signature activity, Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was performed in AZD4547-resistant and -sensitive patient-derived cells. ( B ) Expression of p-c-Met and c-Met was analyzed by western blotting in EOC cells. ( C ) Cell viability was measured in cells treated with SU11274, a c-Met-specific inhibitor, AZD4547, and the combination of SU11274 with AZD4547 in HayA8-MDR and SKOV3-TR cells for 48 h (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.001). ( D ) Expression of p-c-Met and c-Met was analyzed by western blot in lysates from the same experimental conditions as in ( C ). Expression of p-c-Met was normalized by total c-Met expression using Image J, and the result is shown in the right panel
Article Snippet: The selective FGFR1-3 inhibitor AZD4547, (N-[5-[2-(3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)ethyl]-2 H-pyrazol-3-yl]-4-(3,5-diemthylpiperazin-1-yl) benzamide) (AstraZeneca), the selective potent FGFR4 inhibitor FGF401 (roblitinib) (MedChemExpress), c-Met inhibitor SU11274 (SelleckChem) were resuspended in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at a concentration of 10 mmol/ml and diluted in culture media.
