Figure Lengend Snippet: BCOR deficiency sensitizes cells to DHODH Inhibitors. ( A ) Heatmaps representing survival fractions of OCI-AML2, OCI-AML3 and RPE1 treated with increasing doses of TP-021 (BCOR inhibitor) and brequinar, for 6 days ( n = 3 per line). Survival fractions of OCI-AML2, OCI-AML3 and RPE1 treated with working dose of TP-021 (10 µM) compared to DMSO, with increasing doses of brequinar, for each cell line, for 6 days (two-way ANOVA, n = 3; p < 0.0001****; p < 0.001***). ( B ) Survival fractions of OCI-AML2, OCI-AML3 and RPE1; transfected with siRNA and ± treated with brequinar 1 µM (two-way ANOVA, n = 3; p < 0.0001****). ( C ) Cell proliferation assay of RPE1 transfected with siRNA, ± treated with brequinar 1 µM (two-way ANOVA, n = 2; p < 0.0001****) with ( D ) associated pictures taken at 48 h (basic analyzer – Incucyte, 10x magnification). (E) SKM-1 (BCOR-mutated AML) was treated with increasing doses of DHODH inhibitors for 6 days (two-way ANOVA, n = 3; p < 0.0001****). ( F ) OCI-AML3 BCOR_WT , OCI-AML3 BCOR_KO.03 , OCI-AML3 BCOR_KO.17 and OCI-AML3 BCOR_KO.24 were treated for 6 days with increasing doses of 5 different DHODH inhibitors (two-way ANOVA, n = 3; p < 0.0001****, p < 0.001***, p < 0.01**, p < 0.05*, n.s = non-significant)
Article Snippet: For pharmacologic studies, cells were treated with brequinar (Cayman Chemical), TP-021, leflunomide, teriflunomide, AG-636, farudodstat, sparfosic acid (MedChemExpress), or 6-azauridine (Thermo Fisher).
