Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 7. PTPN11 and PI3K targeting treatments do not alter tumour formation or invasion in a chick embryo xenograft model. 2 × 106 H661 cells were implanted into the CAM according to the assay schedule (A) on day 7 of embryonic development. Following 72 h of tumour establishment, developing tumours were treated in situ. SHPi (10 µM) treatments were added daily, and Cop (20 nM) treatments were added once on day 10. On day 14, tumour visibility was noted as either visible (VT) or non-visible (NVT). Statistical significance was determined using Fisher’s exact test, and no statistical significance was found (B) On day 14, xenografts were excised with the silicon ring, formalin-fixed, and stained for H&E (C,D). Areas of tumour were denoted by black arrows, and CAM areas were demonstrated by red arrows and matrigel was denoted by grey arrows. Images were collected an EVOS m5000 microscope with EVOS imaging software at 4× and 20× magnification (D).
Article Snippet: The Shp2 inhibitor (SHPi) (SHP099), PI3K inhibitor copanlisib (cop) and the MEK1/2 inhibitor refametinib (ref) were obtained from Selleckchem and stocks (10 mM SHPi, 10 mM refametinib, 5 mM copanlisib;) were prepared in 100% DMSO, 100% DMSO and 100% DMSO with 10 mM TFA, respectively.
