Figure Legend Snippet: Val-083 cytotoxicity is exerted independently of MMR or MGMT expression. A, Viability of parental U-251 MG, T98G, U-87 MG, LN-18, and SF268 cell lines upon exposure to different concentrations of Val-083 measured by MTT. Values are represented as percentage of cell viability compared with DMSO control. B, Cell-cycle profile of U-251 MG or T98G cells treated with different doses of TMZ or Val-083 for 48 hours. C, Competition assay of U-251 MG cells expressing shRNAs targeting MSH6 (shMSH6.3908), PMS2 (shPMS2.946), and MSH2 (shMSH2.357) after treatment with TMZ or VAL-083. The plotted value is the fold enrichment of the shRNA-expressing cells (eGFP+) compared with the control cells (mCherry+) and normalized to the DMSO control. Statistical test: Two-way ANOVA (P values: *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, compared with DMSO treated). D, CFA of U-251 MG cells expressing control shRNA or shMSH6 after treatment with TMZ or Val-083 for 9 days. E, Cell-cycle profile of U-251 MG cells expressing control shRNA (shRen.660) or shMSH6.3908 after treatment with TMZ or Val-083 for 48 hours. F, Quantification of mean γH2AX fluorescence in nuclei of cells treated with vehicle, TMZ, or Val-083 for 48 hours. Values are normalized to the DMSO control, and fold increase in H2AX signal is plotted. Statistical test: Two-way ANOVA (P values: ***, P < 0.001; ****, P < 0.0001, compared with DMSO treated).
Techniques Used: Expressing, Competitive Binding Assay, shRNA, Fluorescence
Figure Legend Snippet: TMZ and Val-083 combination treatment show synergistic cytotoxic effect. A, Table showing the percentage of cell viability (as compared with DMSO, top number in each cell) and SD (bottom number). B, Plot of synergy score calculated with the HSA method of U-251 MG cells treated with different doses of TMZ and Val-083. C, Table showing the maximum synergy scores of different adherent cell lines (U-251 MG, T98G, U-87 MG, SF268, LN-18) and tumorspheres grown in suspension (H543, H516, H676), as well as the doses of TMZ and Val-083, which rendered said score. MGMT expression is also indicated. D, CFA of U-251 MG cells incubated with low doses of TMZ, Val-083, or the combination for 9 days. E, Cell-cycle profile of U-251 MG cells incubated for 48 hours with TMZ, Val-083, or the combination of both. F, Representative pictures of γH2AX staining of U-251 MG cells treated for 48 hours with DMSO, TMZ, Val-083, or the combination of the last two. G, Quantification of γH2AX signal intensity in nuclei of U-251 MG cells treated for 48 hours with TMZ, Val-083, or the combination of both. Statistical test (P values: ***, P < 0.001). H, CFA of T98G cells incubated with high and low doses of TMZ, Val-083, or the combination for 9 days. I, Quantification of γH2AX signal intensity in nuclei of T98G cells treated for 48 hours with TMZ, Val-083, or the combination of both. Statistical test: t test (P values: *, P < 0.05; ***, P < 0.001).
Techniques Used: Expressing, Incubation, Staining
Figure Legend Snippet: Treatment with combination of TMZ and Val-083 increases survival in mice. A, Quantification of the ratio of luminescence emission by U251-MG in ex vivo-treated brain slices after 7 days as compared with the initial. Plots represent the fold change compared with the DMSO control. Statistical test: t test (P values: *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001; ns, nonsignficant); P values on top of the boxes are comparison over the DMSO control. B, Kaplan–Meier curve showing the survival proportions of mice transplanted with U-251 MG cells and treated with TMZ, Val-083, or the combination of both. Log-rank P values: **, P < 0.01; ns, nonsignificant). C, Kaplan–Meier curve showing the survival proportions of mice transplanted with H676 cells and treated with TMZ, Val-083, or the combination of both. Log-rank P values: **, P < 0.01; ns, nonsignificant).
Techniques Used: Ex Vivo
Figure Legend Snippet: Mechanisms of action of TMZ and Val-083. Expression of MGMT effectively removes the O6-guanine methylation induced by TMZ exposure, which allows cell survival. Lack of MGMT allows the formation of mismatches in the next replication round, which leads to the generation of double DNA-strand breaks mediated by the MMR machinery. The accumulation of double-strand breaks ultimately lead to cell death. However, defects in the MMR pathway paves the way for the accumulation of unresolved mismatches, which allows cell survival and a hypermutation phenotype. In the case of Val-083, there is a formation of interstrand adducts, that are not resolved by MGMT, and lead to cytotoxicity independently of MMR status.
Techniques Used: Expressing, Methylation
