Abstract
Figure S1. Bak BH3 peptide position in Bak protein. Figure S2. Dephosphorylation of Bax by lambdaPPase in vitro. Figure S3. Bax activators CYD-2-11 and SMBA1 failed to induce Bak oligomerization. Figure S4. Analysis of CYD-2-11 toxicity in vivo. Figure S5. CYD-2-11 has no significant effect on total Bax expression in SCLC PDX models. Figure S6. Toxicity analysis of CYD-2-11 in 2 PDX models. Figure S7. Bax phosphorylation is up-regulated in KRAS driven lung cancer. Figure S8. Quantification of tumor burden. Figure S9. H&E staining of normal tissues from various organs after CYD-2-11 treatment of KL mice. Figure S10. The dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor BEZ235 inhibits ATK activity leading to down-regulation of Bax phosphorylation. Figure S11. CYD-2-11 synergizes with RAD001 to reverse rapalog resistance of lung cancer cells. Figure S12. RAD001 and CYD-2-11 did not affect total Bax in A549 xenografts. Figure S13. Toxicity analysis following treatment with RAD001, CYD-2-11 or in combination in A549 xenografts. Figure S14. CYD-2-11 synergizes with RAD001 against lung cancer in PDX model.
