Figure Lengend Snippet: Dinaciclib decreases viability, ATP levels, proliferation and induces caspase activity in biliary tract cancer (BTC). (a) ATP levels of KKU-100, OCUG-1 and OZ cells after treatment with dinaciclib concentrations ranging from 0.1–100 nM for 72 h are shown. ATP levels were normalized to the untreated control [% UTC = untreated control]. (b) Time-resolved analysis of KKU-100, OCUG-1 and OZ cell viability after treatment with dinaciclib. Viability was determined after 0, 6, 24, 48 and 72 h of incubation, respectively and normalized to the respective 0 h fluorescence values [% 0 h]. (c) Proliferation of KKU-100, OCUG-1 and OZ cells after treatment with 3.125 nM, corresponding IC 50 or 100 nM dinaciclib. The cellular impedance signal was recorded continuously for 72 h using the unitless parameter cell index that is proportional to the cell number. Shown are representative curves of one biological replicate. (d) Caspase 3/7 levels were measured to detect apoptosis in KKU-100, OCUG-1 and OZ cells after treatment with 3.125 nM, IC 50 and 50 nM dinaciclib for 24, 48 and 72 h. Luminescence values were normalized to UTC [x-fold]. Data are presented as mean values ± SEM, n = 3 and significances were tested using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Dunnett **** p < .05, * p < .01, ** p < .001 and *** p < .0001.
