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.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Dinaciclib affects the expression of genes involved in cell proliferation and tumor progression. The expression of (a) AKT, (b) PTK2, (c) STAT3, (d) ERK and (e) EGFR from treated biliary tract cancer (BTC) cells KKU-100, OCUG-1 and OZ cells is shown each relative to untreated samples. mRNA levels were analyzed following dinaciclib treatment with the respective ½ IC 50 (KKU-100: 4 nM, OCUG-1: 16.5 nM, OZ: 3.5 nM), IC 50 (KKU-100: 8 nM, OCUG-1: 33 nM, OZ: 7 nM) and 50 nM (KKU-100) or 100 nM (OCUG-1 and OZ) for 24 h. Transcript levels were quantified using the delta delta CT method, whereas mRNA levels were first referred to the housekeeping gene GAPDH and treated samples were further normalized to controls. The fold-regulation is the negative inverse of the fold-change, and the respective thresholds for up- and downregulation are depicted as dotted lines. Data are presented as mean values ± SEM, n = 3 and significances were tested for each dinaciclib concentration against controls using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Dunnett **** p < .05, * p < .01, ** p < .001 and *** p < .0001.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Dinaciclib affects the expression of proteins involved in cell proliferation and tumor progression. (A) Effect of dinaciclib on EGFR and STAT3 protein expression in KKU-100, OCUG-1 and OZ cells. Biliary tract cancer (BTC) cells were either treated with the corresponding IC 50 (KKU-100: 8 nM, OCUG-1: 33 nM, OZ: 7 nM), 50 nM (KKU-100) or 100 nM (OCUG-1 and OZ) dinaciclib for 24, 48 and 72 h, respectively. Protein expression was quantified via normalization to corresponding loading controls (figure S7), which were further referred to untreated control cells [x-fold to untreated control = UTC]. Data are presented as mean values ± SEM, n = at least 3 and significances were tested for each dinaciclib concentration against controls using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Dunnett **** p < .05, * p < .01, ** p < .001 and *** p < .0001.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Huh7, HPMEC/hACE2 and Vero-E6 cells were infected with SARS-CoV-2 at MOI 0.05 and treated with (A) Dinaciclib, (B) BFH772, (C) Budesonide, (D) GC376 sodium, (E) Apilimod mesylate, (F) GKT137831, (G) Cyclosporin A, (H) B02, and (I) Camostat mesylate at indicated concentrations. At 48hpi cells were washed, fixed, and stained with DAPI and for SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein. Plates were fluorescently imaged and analyzed for nucleocapsid stain per nuclei. Relative infection (full lines) and relative number of cells (dashed lines) are normalized to DMSO-treated wells. Data represent mean ± SEM for n = 4 technical replicates and are representative of n = 3 independent experiments.
