Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 1 Combined treatment of vorinostat and PARPis enhanced the decrease in PED-GBM survival: SU-DIPG-VI cells (A, B) and SU-DIPG-IV cells (C, D) were plated in triplicates at a density of 11,550 or 3,300 cells/cm2, respectively. Drugs were added 24 h post-plating. KNS-42 were plated either for clonogenic assay (E) or for survival assay (F) at a density of 55 or 6,600 cells/cm2, respectively. Values are mean survival (%) ± S.D relative to control. Differences among all experimental groups, as well as between each experimental group and control, were significant - *p< 0.5, **p< 0.005. (G–I). Cells were processed for Western blot analysis of treatment-induced changes in the ratio of peIF2a/eIF2a. Numbers at the bottom of the autoradiograms indicate changes of peIF2a/eIF2a and differences in loaded proteins (Ponceau) relative to control. (J, K). SU-DIPG VI and HAs cells were plated in triplicates at the same density (3,300 cells/cm2) and treated with drugs 24 h post-plating. Values are the mean number of cell division or cell death (%) ± S.D relative to control. Differences between treated and untreated experimental groups, as well as between SU-DIPG-VI and HAs, were significant *p< 0.05, **p< 0.005. V—vorinostat, Ola—Olaparib, Vel—veliparib, Nir—niraparib. The experiments were reproduced at least twice with similar results.

SU-DIPG VI and HAs cells were plated in triplicates at the same density (3,300 cells/cm2) and treated 24 h post-plating.

Differences between treated and untreated experimental groups, as well as between SU- DIPG-VI and HAs, were significant—*p< 0.05, **p< 0.005. (F). SU-DIPG-VI cells were processed for Western blot analysis of treatment-induced changes in the ratios of peIF2a/eIF2a and peIF2Be/eIF2Be and in the cellular level of eIF2Be. Numbers at the bottom of the autoradiograms indicate changes of peIF2a/eIF2a, peIF2Be/eIF2Be, and eIF2Be and differences in loaded proteins (Ponceau) relative to control. (G). KNS-42 cells were plated in duplicates at a density of 13,200 cells/cm2 and transiently transfected with 1 mg/ml of plasmids expressing HA-eIF2a (HA-WT) or HA-S51A-eIF2a (HA-SA) or with HA-S51D-eIF2a (HA-SD) 24 h post-plating. Values are mean survival (%) ± S.D relative to control. Differences between survival of HA-SD to the HA-WT and HA-SA were significant—**p< 0.005. (H). Cells were transiently transfected as described in G and 12 h later processed for Western blot analysis of HA-tag expression. Numbers at the bottom of the autoradiograms indicate differences in loaded proteins (Ponceau) relative to HA-WT. Sal—salubrinal, R1—raphin-1. The experiments were reproduced at least twice with similar results.
