(C) SPR sensorgrams of QW-5–70 and colchicine binding to tubulin. (mean ± SEM, n = 3) (D) EBI competition assays. The upper β-tubulin band represents native β-tubulin, while the lower band corresponds to the EBI–β-tubulin adduct. GAPDH served as a loading control. (E) Immunoblot analysis of soluble and polymerized β-tubulin in PC-3 cells following treatment with QW-5–70, colchicine, or paclitaxel (20 nM). Cells were fractionated into soluble and polymerized tubulin pools, which were analyzed by immunoblotting. Ponceau S staining and GAPDH were used as loading controls for polymerized and soluble fractions, respectively. Quantification of polymerized β-tubulin expressed as a percentage of total β-tubulin (soluble + polymerized). (mean ± SEM, n=3). (F) Representative immunofluorescence images of interphase and mitotic SK-N-BE(2)-C, NB-1691, and PC-3 cells treated with QW-5–70 (2 nM and 5 nM) for 24 h. Microtubules were stained with anti-α-tubulin antibodies (red), and nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). Scale bar = 50 μm (n=3). (G) High-resolution X-ray crystal structure of the sT2R complex with QW-5–70. Left panel: detailed interactions of QW-5–70 (green sticks) within the colchicine-binding site are shown. Bound water molecules are represented as red spheres, and hydrogen bonds are indicated by dashed magenta lines. The electron density for QW-5–70 is shown as a blue mesh; the final 2Fo-Fc map is contoured at 1.0 σ. Middle panel: detailed interactions of colchicine (light-brown sticks) binding to sT2R (PDB 6XER) for comparison. Right panel: superposition of sT2R complexes with QW-5–70 and colchicine sT2R (colored grey) complexes, highlighting the relative inhibitor binding positions and differing conformations of the α-T5 and β-T7 loops.

(D, E) Immunoblot analysis of apoptosis-related proteins (cCas9, cCas3, PARP, cPARP, p-BCL2 (Ser70), and BCL2) in the same cell lines following 24 h treatment. GAPDH served as a loading control.

Figure Legend Snippet: (A) SK-N-BE(2)-c cells were treated with five doses of QW-5–70 (0.125 to 2 nM) in combination with five doses of DFMO (10–1000 μM). Cell viability was assessed using the MTS assay (n=4). (B) CI–Fa analysis of the QW-5–70 and DFMO combination. CI values were calculated using the Chou–Talalay median-effect method for five experimentally tested dose pairs at their corresponding Fa values. CI < 1, CI = 1, and CI > 1 indicate synergistic, additive, and antagonistic interactions, respectively. (C) SK-N-BE(2)-c cells were treated with five doses of QW-5–70 (0.125 to 2 nM) in combination with five doses of MLN8237 (1–100 nM). Cell viability was assessed using the MTS assay (n=4). (D) SK-N-BE(2)-C cells were treated with 1 nM QW-5–70 in combination with either DFMO (300 μM, top) or MLN8237 (30 nM, bottom) as indicated. Cell lysates were analyzed by immunoblotting for cPARP as a marker of apoptosis, with GAPDH used as a loading control. (E) Representative colony formation images of SK-N-BE(2)-C cells treated with the same combination. Colony formations were quantified and expressed as mean ± SEM relative to vehicle (set to 100%) (n=5).
