Figure Lengend Snippet: Selectivity of the ODCs. ( A , B ) ATP levels of ( A ) 786O cells or ( B ) RPTEC cells treated with variations of the four drugs present in the third search of the 786O-based screen. ( C ) TW of each condition tested in ( A , B ) calculated for each condition as the ATP levels of ( A ) subtracted from the ATP levels of ( B , D , E ) ATP levels of ( D ) UOK276 cells or ( E ) RPTEC cells treated with the four drugs, found in the third search of the UOK276-based screen, combined or as single agents. ( F ) TW of each condition tested in ( D , E ) calculated for each condition as the ATP levels of ( D ) subtracted from the ATP levels of ( E , G , H ) ATP level of ( G ) 786O cells or ( H ) RPTEC cells treated with three drugs of the additive combination found in the 786O-based screen, either combined or as single agents. ( I ) TW of each condition tested in ( G , H ) calculated for each condition as the ATP levels of ( G ) subtracted from the ATP levels of ( H ). ( A , B , D , E , G , H ) Significance was calculated between DMSO controls and all conditions using One-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparison test. ns p > 0.05, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, and **** p < 0.0001. ( J ) Regression coefficients estimated from a computational model based on experimental data from treated 786O cells. Histograms are separated by empty ticks into three parts representing (from left to right) 1st order single drug activity, drug–drug interactions, and 2nd order single drug activity. Error bars and stars correspond to the standard deviation and significance of the regression coefficients, respectively. Screening was performed as N = 3 independent experiments. ( K ) Schematic representation of the pathways targeted by the drugs composing the selected ODCs. Created with BioRender.
Article Snippet: 786O cells (ATCC, CRL-1932) were cultivated in RPMI medium with Glutamax (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA, 61870-010) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Biowest, Nuaillé, France, S1810-500) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint-Louis, MO, USA, P0781-100ML).
