Article Title: Synthetic Lethal Combinations of DNA Repair Inhibitors and Genotoxic Agents to Target High‐Risk Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma
doi: 10.1002/hon.70131
Figure Lengend Snippet: Synthetic lethal combinations enhance apoptosis, induce cell cycle defect and activate DDR. (A, B) U2932 and DB cell lines were treated as indicated with IC20 of each drug (U2932 cell line: Cyclophosphamide 1 µM, PF477736 0.31, AZD‐6738 1.01 µM, Doxorubicin 30 nM, NU7441 3.1 µM; DB cell line: Cyclophosphamide: 0.8 μM, PF477736 0.39, AZD‐6738 3.13 µM, Doxorubicin 30 nM, NU7441 3.1 µM). Apoptosis was studied by AnnexinV‐PE staining and cell cycle was studied using BrdU incorporation and DAPI after 72H of treatment. Data are the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. Statistical significance was tested using t ‐test for pairs. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, NS: non‐significant.
