Figure Lengend Snippet: Clonogenic assay analysis of SIJ1777 in C8161. ( A , B ) 2D clonogenic assay (colony formation assay) results of the compounds on C8161 melanoma cell. After incubation with test compounds for 14 days, colonies were photographed without magnification. ( C , D ) 3D clonogenic assay (soft agar assay) results of test compounds on C8161 melanoma cell. Cells embedded within 0.35% low melting agar and incubated with the indicated compounds for 14 days and observed without magnification. ( B , D ) Number of colonies were determined automatically by ImageJ ( n = 3, respectively). ( E ) Western blot analysis of SIJ1777 in C8161. Cells were treated with 0.01, 0.1 μM of SIJ1777, and 0.1 μM of vemurafenib, PLX8394, GNF-7, and SIJ1227 for 24 h. Cell lysates were subjected to western blot analysis to estimate the phospho- or total- form of AKT, MEK, ERK levels, and GAPDH was used as the internal loading controls (left panel). Quantification result ( n = 3) of western blot result by ImageJ (right panel). Statistical significances were determined using a one-way ANOVA analysis (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001).
