Fig. 3From: Focal adhesion kinase inhibition synergizes with nab-paclitaxel to target pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomaFAK inhibition by TKI defactinib hampers tumor properties of PDAC cells. a. Treatment with defactinib reduced PDAC cell proliferation (averages with corresponding SEM are visualized). b. Western blot analysis after 2 h of exposure to 10 μM defactinib showed reduced phosphorylation of activation site pY-397 and pY-925, but not pY-576/577. c. Heatmap of FAK p-site log intensities after defactinib drug perturbation showed downregulation of multiple p-sites of FAK including regulatory site pY-397 (red = upregulated, green = downregulated, black = not detected). d. Migration at 24 h assessed by scratch assays was significantly hampered by treatment with 1 μM defactinib in Suit-2 and primary cell line PDAC1 (Error bars depict SEM of at least 3 biological replicates)Back to article page
