Figure Lengend Snippet: Relevance of SN38 for CYP2S1 induction (A) TIPARP and CYP2S1 mRNA expression in response to SN38 treatment (1 μM, 72 h) in different PDAC cell lines (48 h for PACO 7). Control: DMSO. n=3, mean±SD. Multiple t tests with Holm-Sidak method, */**/***: adj. P <0.05/0.01/0.001. (B) Time-dependent induction of TIPARP and CYP2S1 mRNA expression upon SN38 treatment (1 μM) in HNF1A+ PDAC cell line PACO18. The mRNA levels were calculated relative to the DMSO control. Mean±SD. (C) AHR-ligand assay using HEK293T cells transfected with the Cignal AHR-GFP Reporter assay or a negative control. Fluorescence after treatment with vehicle control (PBS), positive control (dARNT) or SN38 (1 μM) for 24 hours. Increased fluorescence indicates successful binding to AHR. n=3, mean±SD. Unpaired t test,****: P <0.0001. (D) TIPARP and CYP2S1 mRNA expression after treatment of HNF1A+ PDAC cells with SN38 analog topotecan (1 μM, 72 h). Control: DMSO. n=3, mean±SD. Multiple t tests with Holm-Sidak method, ***: adj. P <0.001. (E) Impact of AHR knockdown (KD) on basal mRNA levels of AHR and CYP2S1. n=3, mean±SD. Multiple t tests with Holm-Sidak method, *: adj. P <0.05. No significant reduction of CYP2S1 level is observed. (F) CYP2S1 mRNA expression after treatment with DMSO control or SN38 (1 μM, 72 h) in 2 HNF1A+ PDAC cell lines w/o (NT) or with AHR knockdown (AHR KD). Controls: nontargeting (NT), DMSO. n=3, mean±SD. Multiple t tests with Holm-Sidak method, **/***: adj. P <0.01/0.001. Knockdown of AHR impairs the inducibility of CYP2S1 by SN38 in PDAC cells. (G) Impact of transient HNF4A knockdown on relative HNF4A or CYP2S1 mRNA expression in HNF1A+ PACO10. Control: non-targeting (NT). n=3, mean±SD. Multiple t tests with Holm-Sidak method, **: adj. P <0.01. (H) Relative CYP2S1 mRNA expression after treatment with DMSO control or SN38 (1 μM, 72 h) in 2 HNF1A+ PDAC cell lines with (siHNF4A) or w/o (siNT) transient HNF4A knockdown. Controls: nontargeting (siNT), DMSO. n=3, mean±SD. Multiple t tests with Holm-Sidak method, **/***: adj. P <0.01/0.001.
