    Enhanced effects of combined BLU9931 and palbociclib in the animal model of LUSC cells with endogenously or exogenously high expression of FGF19. SK-MES-1 LV-FGF19 (exogenous FGF19 highly expressed LUSC cells) cells or H520 (endogenous FGF19 highly expressed LUSC cells) cells in a volume of 50 μl were subcutaneously injected into the right flanks of BALB/c nude mice. When the tumor reached a volume of 100–200 mm 3 , mice were randomly grouped and orally treated with vehicle, BLU9931 (30 mg/kg, twice a day), palbociclib (100 mg/kg/d), or both drugs in combination for 3 weeks. Tumor volumes were measured every 3 days after the onset of treatment. (A) The tumors were dissected from the mice. (a) SK-MES-1 LV-FGF19 xenograft tumors and (b) H520 xenograft tumors. Growth curve for (c) SK-MES-1 LV-FGF19 and (d) H520 xenograft tumors. (B) Representative histograms depicting cell cycle profiles of tumor cells and quantifications of the histograms. (a) SK-MES-1 LV-FGF19 xenograft tumors; (b) H520 xenograft tumors. (C) The expression of pRB and PCNA in (a) SK-MES-1 LV-FGF19 xenograft tumors and (b) H520 xenograft tumors were detected by western blot. (D) HE and immunofluorescence staining with pRb Ser807/811 , cleaved caspase 3 (Cl. Cas3) and Ki67 of tumor sections. (a) SK-MES-1 LV-FGF19 xenograft tumors; (b) H520 xenograft tumors. Data were shown as mean ± SD and * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001 and **** p < 0.0001 as calculated by the two-way ANOVA test. Scale bar: 50 µm.

    The schematic model of this study: underlying mechanism that link neighboring oncogene FGF19 & CCND1 co-amplification in the development of LUSC. FGF19 was co-amplified and co-expressed with its neighboring gene CCND1 in a subset of LUSC. Overexpression of FGF19 activates FGFR4 and leads to phosphorylation of FRS2 and ERK1/2, which further strengthens the increase in CCND1 expression caused by amplification. These lead to the phosphorylation of RB by CCND1-CDK4/6 complex, causing unrestrained transcription factor E2F, which promotes cell cycle progression and lead to the malignant proliferation of LUSC. While co-targeting FGFR4 and CDK4/6 by BLU9931 and palbociclib potentiated the growth inhibition and arrested cells in G1 phase.
