Figure Lengend Snippet: A Cellular thermal shift assay was applied to detect the binding of Benzbromarone to Hsp90 and Aha1 in cellular context. Upon the treatment of Benzbromarone, the cellular thermal stabilities of Hsp90 and Aha1 were up-regulated, and the positive shifting for the temperature-dependent melting of both Hsp90 and Aha1 was observed. The cellular thermal shift experiments were all repeated for three times. Raw blot data from multiple runs ( n = 3) were processed by ImageJ and graphs were plotted with GraphPad Prism 8. The quantitative analysis plots for Hsp90 and Aha1 are shown in the middle panel and the right panel, respectively. B Cell viability of LNCaP, MNNG/HOS Cl #5, MG-63, LS174T, HCT116 and HT-29 cells were assessed after their exposure to vehicle and different concentrations of Benzbromarone for 72 h. Data were analyzed by GraphPad Prism 8 and is presented as means ± standard deviation ( n = 3). The IC 50 values of Benzbromarone against LNCaP, MNNG/HOS Cl #5, MG-63, LS174T, HCT116 and HT-29 cells were determined to be 44.05 ± 2.93 µM, 45.54 ± 3.47 µM, 69.15 ± 3.59 µM, 76.28 ± 6.79 µM, 55.93 ± 1.82 µM and 59.62 ± 3.73 µM, respectively. (C) Colony formation experiments were performed by using LNCaP, MNNG/HOS Cl #5, MG-63, LS174T, HCT116 and HT-29 cells treated with different concentrations of Benzbromarone (30 µM for LNCaP, LS174T, HCT116 and HT-29 cells, 20 µM for MNNG/HOS Cl #5 cells, 25 µM for MG-63 cells), and the quantitative results are presented in lower panel ( n = 3, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001, t -test).
