CH Instruments ec4 mouse liver cancer cell line
(A) Bar graph representation of the fold change in IC50 with RA-drug combination. Combination of 5-fluorouracil shows negligible change in IC50, and oxaliplatin-RA showed a 1.6-fold change in IC50, signifying some synergy. However, combination of RA and Paclitaxel had a 2.5-fold reduced IC50 than parent chemotherapeutic (Paclitaxel), signifying maximum synergy among the three combinations and the best candidates for further experiments. (B) Molar ratio dictates improvement in IC50 with combination of TAX and RA, with 1:100 being optimal. (C) Testing of RA, TAX, and RA-TAX loaded filomicelles on <t>EC4</t> mouse liver cancer cells. TAX (black) has a much lower IC50 than RA (red) as it induces apoptosis instead of arresting proliferation. However, the combination of RA-TAX is more effective than either drug alone, with its IC50 less than half of that for TAX. Empty filomicelles (blue curve) were inert at the desired concentrations. (D) Nuclei treated with Paclitaxel (TAX) exhibit massive blebbed nuclei due to incomplete division (bottom). Untreated nuclei (top) in contrast are smooth and rounded. (E) Schematic depicting culture of resistant colonies arising after RA-TAX filomicelle treatment. (F) Plotting the proliferation rate against the degree of resistance gives an inverse relation, supporting the hypothesis that acquisition of drug-resistance occurs at the cost of proliferation.

Article Snippet: Primary EC4 mouse liver cancer cell line (c-myc mutation) was acquired from Chi Van Dang’s lab at the University of Pennsylvania and cultured with DMEM High glucose growth media (4.5 g/L glucose with L-glutamine and sodium pyruvate) supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% penicillin− streptomycin, and 1% nonessential amino acids at 37 °C and 5% CO 2 .
