Figure Lengend Snippet: Identification of Mivebresib as an efficient and specific anti-SFT (Solitary Fibrous Tumor) agent. (a) Secondary high-throughput screening (HTS) was performed using the Moffitt-ns and immortalized lung fibroblast cells. The CTG effects of both cell lines under all four doses were plotted. The green line indicated the differences in suppression effects between Moffitt-ns and Lf > 40 %. The blue line indicated that the suppression effects at the highest dose should be > 50 % in Moffitt-ns cells. 3 compounds were shown (Mivebresib: green, Zinc Pyrithione: red, and TAK-901: yellow). (b-f) Confirmatory MTS assays were performed in two primary SFT cells (INT-SFT and IEC139) and two control LMS cells (SKUT-1 and CP0024). Only Mivebresib showed efficient and selective cell proliferation-suppressing effects in SFT cells. (): INT-SFT; (): IEC139; (): SKUT-1; (): CP0024.

Article Title: HDAC Class I Inhibitor Domatinostat Induces Apoptosis Preferentially in Glioma Stem Cells Through p53-Dependent and -Independent Activation of BAX Expression

doi: 10.3390/ijms26167803

Figure Lengend Snippet: Domatinostat preferentially inhibits cell growth and induces cell death in glioma stem cells. ( A ) GS-Y01, GS-Y03, TGS01, their differentiated counterparts (dGS-Y01, dGS-Y03, and dTGS01), and IMR-90 human lung fibroblasts were treated with the indicated concentrations of domatinostat for 1–4 days, and the number of viable cells was assessed by trypan blue dye exclusion. ( B ) Cells were treated as in ( A ), and the percentage of dead cells was evaluated using the trypan blue dye exclusion assay. * p < 0.05 vs. treatment without domatinostat (i.e., at 0 nM).

Article Title: HDAC Class I Inhibitor Domatinostat Induces Apoptosis Preferentially in Glioma Stem Cells Through p53-Dependent and -Independent Activation of BAX Expression

doi: 10.3390/ijms26167803

Figure Lengend Snippet: Domatinostat induces apoptotic cell death. ( A ) GS-Y01, GS-Y03, TGS01, their differentiated counterparts (dGS-Y01, dGS-Y03, and dTGS01), and IMR-90 human lung fibroblasts were treated without or with 500 nM domatinostat for 1–3 days, and were then subjected to Western blot analyses of the indicated proteins. The numbers below the images represent the means ( n = 2) of the relative band intensities after each band was quantified by densitometry and normalized to the GAPDH value. * p < 0.05 vs. cells before domatinostat treatment (i.e., cells at 0 days) for each of the glioma stem cell lines and their differentiated counterparts, except for the right most panel where comparisons were made with the adjacent left lane (i.e., IMR-90 treated with domatinostat for 3 days). ( B ) Cells were treated without or with 500 nM domatinostat in the absence or presence of 40 μM Z-VAD-fmk for 1 day, and were then subjected to Western blot analyses of the indicated proteins. * p < 0.05 vs. cells treated with domatinostat alone. ( C ) Cells were treated as in ( B ), and were then subjected to the propidium iodide (PI) incorporation assay to assess the percentage of dead cells. * p < 0.05. In ( A , B ), the expected migrating position for cleaved caspase-3 is indicated by an arrow.
