Figure Lengend Snippet: ( a ) A schematic workflow illustrating the preclinical therapeutic procedure. Two weeks after subcutaneous inoculation and in vivo uptake of PC3/PSC27 recombinants, severe combined immunodeficient (M-NSG) mice were subject to either single agent or combinatorial treatment in a metronomic schedule of several cycles. The illustration was created in BioRender. ( b ) Comparative statistics of tumor end volumes. PC3 cancer cells were inoculated either alone or combined with PSC27 stromal cells before being implanted subcutaneously to the hind flank of M-NSG animals, which were administered with MIT and SAA, either alone or in combination. ( c ) Representative images of in vivo senescence in tumor foci by SA-β-gal staining. Scale bar, 50 μm. ( d ) Comparative statistics of tumor senescence as described in ( c ). ( e ) Transcriptional analysis of a subset of SASP factors expressed in epithelial vs. stromal cells acquired from tumor foci after laser capture microdissection (LCM) to isolate stromal and cancer cells, respectively. Signals were normalized to that of the sample with lowest value in the placebo group. ( f ) Transcriptional analysis of SASP factors and two canonical senescence biomarkers p16 INK4a and p21 CIP1 . ( g ) Statistical assessment of DDR and cellular apoptosis in tumors. Values are shown as the percentage of cells positively stained by IF or IHC specific to γH2AX or cleaved caspase 3 (CCL3), respectively. ( h ) Representative images of IHC staining for CCL3 at the completion of treatment regimens. Scale bar, 50 μm. ( i ) Comparative survival of animals sacrificed upon development of advanced bulky disease. Survival duration was calculated from tissue recombinant injection until death. P values were calculated by a two-sided log-rank (Mantel-Cox) test. DDR, DNA damage response. IF, immunofluorescence. IHC, immunohistochemistry. Data in b , d , e , f and g are shown as mean ± SD and representative of 3 independent biological replicates, with P values calculated by Student’s t -tests. ^, P > 0.05; *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001; ****, P < 0.0001.

Figure Lengend Snippet: The PDPK1/AKT/FLT DPI and tenovin-6 (T6) show high anti-cancer efficacy in murine tumoroids and human PCa cell lines (A) Dose-response curves for DPI (top) and T6 (bottom) for in vivo and in vitro Pten KO (left), Pten/Stat3 KO (middle), and Pten/Tp53 KO (right) tumoroids. Points represent means of technical duplicates per tumoroid line ( N = 3). Curve fitting was performed using GraphPad Prism 8.0.2. (B) Bar graphs showing means and ±SD of half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) for DPI (top) and T6 (bottom) for in vivo and in vitro tumoroid lines of all genotypes ( N = 3). Statistical analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism 8.0.2 (one-way ANOVA, Tukey’s test). p > 0.05 if not specified otherwise, ∗ p ≤ 0.05. (C) Bar graphs depicting means and ±SD of IC50 values of DPI (left) and T6 (right) on human PCa cell lines. 22RV1: primary PCa; LNCaP: metastatic PCa; DU145, PC3: metastatic castration-resistant PCa ( N = 3). Statistical analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism 8.0.2 (one-way ANOVA). p > 0.05 if not specified otherwise, ∗ p ≤ 0.05; ∗∗ p ≤ 0.01. (D) Heatmaps of synergy scores calculated with the highest single agent (HSA) model for DPI and enzalutamide (left), and T6 and enzalutamide (right) on the human LNCaP cell line. Values > 0 represent synergistic effects, and values < 0 represent antagonistic effects. IC50 concentrations of respective compounds are underlined ( N = 3). See also .
