Figure Lengend Snippet: Eribulin suppresses tumor growth in cSCC cell lines in vitro. The sensitivity to eribulin of two cSCC cells (A431 and DJM-1) and of normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs) was determined by ATP assay. 2000 cells per well were seeded in 96-well plates for 24 h. Following that, the cells were treated with eribulin at various concentrations (0.001, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 5, 10 nM). After 72 h, cell viability was assessed using CellTiter-Glo ® 2.0 assay (Promega). The x-axis indicates the log value of eribulin concentration; the y-axis indicates the relative cell viability (normalized by no treatment). Data are presented as mean ± SD from triplicate experiments.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Schematic of the anti-tumor effect of eribulin on the cSCC-PDX. ( A ) In normal keratinocytes, p53 controls the G1/S and G2/M cell cycle checkpoints, and ARID2 regulates the G1/S phase transition. ( B , C ) In the cSCC-PDX, loss of function in p53 and ARID2 leads to the disruption of cell cycle checkpoint controls, which promotes cancer development. Eribulin induces G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in cSCC cells. The tumors with a loss of tumor suppressor function (such as p53 and ARID2) are particularly sensitive to eribulin.
