Fig. 4From: Targeting PKCι-PAK1 signaling pathways in EGFR and KRAS mutant adenocarcinoma and lung squamous cell carcinomaCell viability assay using potential PAK inhibitors. The potential PAK inhibitor OTSSP167 synergizes with auranofin in cell viability assays. a-c The results of MTT assay using alternative PAK1 inhibitors candidates in 3 cell lines: HCC827 (a), H23 (b), and H520 (c). OTSSP167 showed the lowest IC50 in 3 cell lines (blue line). (d) Combination index of OTSSP167 plus auranofin indicated synergism in 3 cell lines. The combination of reversine plus auranofin also indicated synergism in H520 cell lines but not in HCC827 and H23 cell lines. (e) OTSSP167 inhibited 3 phosphorylated PAK1 residues at the concentration of 0.5, 1.0, and 3.0 times higher of IC50Back to article page
