Figure Lengend Snippet: Inhibitory effects of HDAC inhibitors vorinostat and entinostat. A and B , Swarm plots with histogram bars (mean ± SD) and ( C ) representative microscopic pictures of Vimentin-stained G55T2 xenograft tissue slice tandem cocultures (XTCCs) treated with 1% DMSO or different concentrations of Vorinostat and Entinostat (7 days of total XTCC cultivation). Results are from at least two biological replicates with 6 to 22 technical replicates. Unpaired t test with Welch's correction, ns = not significant. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences (∗, p < 0.05; ∗∗, p < 0.01; ∗∗∗, p < 0.001 and ∗∗∗∗, p < 0.0001). XTCC, xenograft tissue slice tandem co-culture.
Article Snippet: The pharmacological agents used in this work comprise the oral alkylating drug Temozolomide (TMZ; Sigma Aldrich Co, St Louis, USA), the two HDAC inhibitors Vorinostat and Entinostat (both from MedChemExpress, Monmouth Junction, NJ, USA), and the neurotoxic peptide Apamin (Apa; Sigma-Aldrich Chemie).
