Figure Lengend Snippet: a – d Western blot analysis of BRCA1, RPA32, RAD51, total ERK, total AKT, phospho-ERK, and phospho-AKT in AsPC-1 ( a ), PANC-1 ( b ), SW1990 ( c ), and KPC1199 ( d ) cells treated with vehicle (DMSO) or MRTX1133 at indicated concentrations for 24 h. GAPDH or β-actin served as the loading control. Similar results were obtained from three independent experiments. e – h Immunofluorescence assay for DNA damage marker in KRAS G12D PDAC cell lines. Representative micrographs ( e ) and quantification data for MDC1, FK2, BRCA1, RPA32, and RAD51 foci formation ( f – h ) in the indicated cell lines with and without MRTX1133 treatment (50 nM). Quantification shows the number of foci per cell. Data are presented as Mean ± SEM of n = 3 biologically independent experiments. Statistical significance was determined by an unpaired, two-tailed Student’s t -test. The scale bar indicates 10 µm. i Schematic of the DR-GFP reporter system. j HR efficiency was measured in AsPC-1, PANC-1, and SW1990 cells using the DR-GFP reporter assay after treatment with MRTX1133 (10 nM, 50 nM) or vehicle. Data are presented as mean ± SEM of n = 3 biologically independent experiments. Statistical significance compared to the vehicle control was determined by one-way ANOVA. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
