Treatment with an IGF1R inhibitor sensitizes IGF2-overexpressing CPM PDO...
(A) Dot plot of doxorubicin area under the curve (AUC) for 11 CPM PDOs (derived from Supplemental Figure 2A). (B) Z-score heatmap of AUC for 11 CPM PDOs treated with doxorubicin, MMC, and oxaliplatin (higher Z-score = resistant). (C) Binding and Expression Target Analysis (BETA) of RNA-seq and ATAC-seq identifying top transcriptional targets in patient 6 CPM PDOs (–log10[rank product]). (D) ATAC-seq and RNA-seq signals at the IGF2 locus; dashed lines indicate regions of significantly increased chromatin accessibility in patient 6 CPM PDOs (DiffBind). (E) Dot plot of linsitinib AUC for 4 CPM PDOs (derived from linsitinib response in G). (F) Bright-field images of 4 CPM PDOs treated with vehicle (control), doxorubicin (50 nM), linsitinib (50 nM), or a combination at 6 days. Scale bar: 250 μm. (G) Percentage viability of 4 CPM PDOs treated with doxorubicin (50 nM fixed), linsitinib (10, 50, 100 nM), or a combination. (H) Highest Single Agent (HSA) heatmap showing percentage decrease in viability (HSA minus combination). Positive values (red) indicate the combination outperformed single agent; negative values (blue) indicate HSA outperformed the combination. P values from pairwise Wilcoxon rank-sum tests versus HO178 (IGF2-low; E and H). NS, not significant. Black dots = sample mean; dashed line = cohort mean (A and E). Data are presented as mean ± SEM.
