Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A, B ) Schematic of in vivo experiments administering CDK4/6i and NK cells sequentially (A) or concurrently (B). For sequential treatment (experiments 1 and 2, C-F), mice were pretreated with abemaciclib for 7-11 days, followed by a single NK cell infusion (10×10⁶ cells/injection). For concurrent treatment (experiment 3, G-H), mice were pretreated with abemaciclib for one week, and abemaciclib and NK cells (10×10⁶ cells/injection, weekly) were administered simultaneously. ( C ) Experiment 1, sequential treatment. Tumor growth curves in PDX-bearing mice treated with abemaciclib (75 mg/kg, daily) and NK92 cells. The treatment schedule is as shown in (A). n = 5 mice/group. Statistical significance calculated using 2-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post-test. ( D ) Corresponding survival curves for the experiment in (C). The Log-rank (Mantel-Cox) test was used to compare the combo and vehicle groups. ( E-F ) Tumor growth and survival in Experiment 2 with sequential treatment. The treatment scheme is shown in (A). Doses and analyses as in (C-D). n = 5 mice/group. ( G-H ) Tumor growth and survival in Experiment 3 with concurrent treatment. The treatment scheme is shown in (B). Doses and analyses as in (C-D). n = 5 mice/group.

Article Title: CDK4/6 inhibitors enhance oxaliplatin efficacy in colorectal cancer with RB-dependent and tumor-selective activity in intestinal model

doi: 10.64898/2026.04.15.718743

Figure Lengend Snippet: HCT116 cells (5 × 10³ cells/well) were exposed for 48 h to increasing concentrations of (A) 5-fluorouracil (0.77–7700 μM), (B) SN-38 (0.02–200 nM), (C) oxaliplatin (0.125–250 μM), and (D) the CDK4/6 inhibitors abemaciclib (25–3000 nM) or palbociclib (25–6400 nM). Cell viability was assessed by Calcein AM fluorescence and expressed as a percentage of the untreated control (100%). The data are presented as the mean ± SEM of six independent biological replicates. Dose–response curves were fitted by nonlinear regression using a four-parameter logistic model (variable slope; log[inhibitor] vs. normalized response) in GraphPad Prism 8.4.3.

Article Snippet: The selective CDK4/6 inhibitors abemaciclib (MedChemExpress, HY-16297A) and palbociclib (MedChemExpress, HY-A0065) were used either as single agents or in combination with one of the following chemotherapeutic agents: 5-fluorouracil (5-FU; Merck, F6627), SN-38 (7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin; Cayman Chemical, 15632), and oxaliplatin (Bergamo, 1151955).

(D) Combination index (CI) analysis plotted as fraction affected versus CI for each drug combination with abemaciclib. The dashed line indicates CI = 1, where values <1 indicate synergism and values >1 indicate antagonism. (E) 5-fluorouracil, (F) SN-38, or (G) oxaliplatin, all of them alone or in combination with palbociclib (400 nM). (H) Combination index analysis plotted as fraction affected versus CI for each drug combination with palbociclib. Data are presented as mean ± SEM of at least three independent biological replicates. Bars are color-coded as follows: control (gray), chemotherapy alone (blue), abemaciclib alone (yellow), palbociclib alone (red), chemotherapy + abemaciclib (green), and chemotherapy + palbociclib (purple). Statistical significance was evaluated using ordinary one-way ANOVA followed by Šídák’s multiple comparisons test. Significance levels are indicated as follows: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ***p < 0.0001.
