Figure Lengend Snippet: BI and 5-FU affected the expression of proteins related to PAX6/GSK-3β pathways in MKN45 cells. The expression of GSK-3β and PAX6 in MKN45 cells treated with BI, 5-FU, or their combination with an inhibitor of GSK-3β - CHIR-99,021 for 72 h was determined by Western blot and IP. A The expression of pGSK-3β ( n = 3); ( B ) IP assay was used to determine the interaction of PAX6 and GSK-3β; ( C ) The expression of GSK-3β and PAX6 in MKN45 cells after siRNA knockdown ( n = 3); ( D ) IP assay was used to determine that after pre-treatment with CHIR-99,021(7 nmol/L) for 24 h, the interaction of PAX6 and GSK-3β were weakened interaction; ( E ) The expression of PAX6 and GSK-3β was determined in MKN45 cells ( n = 3); ( F ) The cell cycle was detected in MKN45 cells by flow cytometry after PI staining ( n = 3). Data are presented as mean ± S.D. of triplicates. Statistical analyses were performed using one-way ANOVA. Compared with the control group, * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01. Compared with the combination of BI with 5-FU, # P < 0.05,## P < 0.01.IB: Immumoblotting; IP: Immumoprecipitation

BI and 5-FU inhibited the growth of MKN45 cell xenografts in a nude mouse model. A BI and 5-FU administration schedule for the nude mice experiment ( n = 5); ( B ) Changes in body weight of nude mice in each group during the administration ( n = 5); ( C ) Changes in tumor volume of nude mice during the administration in each group ( n = 5); ( D ) Images of the tumors dissected from the animals; ( E ) Tumor weight of nude mice in each group at the termination of experiments ( n = 5); ( F ) Tumor volume of nude mice in each group at the termination of experiments ( n = 5); ( G ) Morphological changes of MKN45 cell xenografts by HE staining analysis (scale bar: 50 μm). Data are presented as mean ± S.D. of triplicates. Statistical analyses were performed using one-way ANOVA. Compared with the control group, * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01. Compared with the combination of BI with 5-FU, # P < 0.05,## P < 0.01
