(C) The IC50 of lapatinib, Neratinib, Afatinib and Pazopanib in Ishikawa and KLE cells were measured. (D) A molecular docking model of MUC16 protein with lapatinib was generated. (E) The IC50 of lapatinib is lower in cells with MUC16 knockdown. (F) Flow cytometry detection revealed that knockdown of MUC16 can enhance lapatinib-induced apoptosis in Ishikawa cells, whereas MUC16 overexpression significantly reduces lapatinib-induced apoptosis. Statistical significance was calculated using one-way ANOVA. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001.
