The combination of PROTAC Mcl-1 Degrader-1 and Trametinib affected mitochondrial membrane potential. ( A ) HT-29 and COLO-205 cell lines were stained with JC-1 after treatment with PROTAC Mcl-1 Degrader-1 for 48 h and imaged under a fluorescence microscope (original magnification 20×). The yellow-orange fluorescence of JC-1 dimers was found in cell regions with high mitochondrial membrane potential, while the green fluorescence of JC-monomers was prevalent in cell regions with low mitochondrial membrane potential. ( B , C ) Percentage red/green fluorescence intensity plots showed that HT-29 and COLO-205 cells were converted to MMP in both cell lines after 48 h of treatment with PROTAC Mcl-1 Degrader-1, particularly at the final dose of 10 μM. ( D ) Cell lines treated with a combination of PROTAC Mcl-1 Degrader-1 and Trametinib at different 48 h doses were subjected to JC-1 staining. After staining (original magnification 20×), images were acquired under a fluorescence microscope. ( E , F ) Quantitative analysis of the transition from mitochondrial orange to green coloration between different combination treatment groups. The statistical value of this experiment was determined using one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparison test (GraphPad Prism 10.0, GraphPad Software Inc.). ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001; **** p < 0.0001; ns = not significant.

The combination of PROTAC Mcl-1 Degrader-1 and trametinib was observed to be associated with an increase in apoptotic cell populations. (Q1 LL (Control), Q1 UL (Necrosis), Q1 UR (Late apoptosis), Q1 LR (Early apoptosis). ( A ) The degree of apoptosis in HT-29 and COLO-205 cells was monitored by flow cytometry after 48 h of exposure to a combination of PROTAC Mcl-1 Degrader-1 and Trametinib. Combination therapy was shown to be associated with a higher level of apoptosis compared to monotherapy. ( B , C ) Treatment of the HT-29 cell line with the combination of PROTAC Mcl-1 Degrader-1 and Trametinib showed increased early and late apoptosis graphs, indicating the stages of apoptosis, compared to the control group. ( D , E ) The outcome of combination therapy in the COLO-205 cell line shows a significant effect on early apoptosis in the early and late apoptosis graphs. Statistical analysis after combination therapy showed that the final dose of 1 µm Trametinib and 10 µm PROTAC Mcl-1 Degrader-1 increased early apoptosis by 23% and late apotosis by 8%, particularly in the COLO-205 cell line. The values are expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 3/group). Statistical significance was determined using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test. * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; ns = not significant.
