NCI-H2373 cell proliferation during NVP-AEW541 treatment. The effect of increasing NVP-AEW541 concentration treatment on the number of NCI-H2373 cells in culture as a function of time is displayed. The highest concentration of the drug carrier, dimethyl sulfoxide, is also a treatment group. (▴ = 0 μM; —×— = 1 μM; -×- = 5 μM; • = 10 μM; — — = 20 μM; ■ = 50 μM.)

NCI-H2461 cell proliferation during NVP-AEW541 treatment. The effect of increasing NVP-AEW541 concentration treatment on the number of NCI-H2461 cells in culture as a function of time is displayed. The highest concentration of the drug carrier, DMSO, is also a treatment group. (▴ = 0 μM; —×— = 1 μM; -×- = 5 μM; • = 10 μM; — — = 20 μM; ■ = 50 μM.)

Immunoblot of insulin-like growth factor type 1 receptor (IGF-1R) and phosphorylated IGF-1R. Immunoblots of lysates from NCI-H2373 and NCI-H2461 cell lines reveal expression of IGF-1R and the activated phosphorylated IGF-1R both with and without IGF stimulation during treatment with increasing concentrations of NVP-AEW541. Unphosphorylated IGF-1R is used as an internal loading control.

Immunoblot of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and phosphorylated (P)-EGFR. Immunoblots of lysates from NCI-H2373 and NCI-H2461 cell lines reveal expression of EGFR and the activated phosphorylated EGFR both with and without insulin-like growth factor (IGF) stimulation during treatment with increasing concentrations of NVP-AEW541. Unphosphorylated EGFR is used as an internal loading control.

Immunoblot of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphorylated (P)-MAPK. Immunoblots of lysates from NCI-H2373 and NCI-H2461 cell lines reveal expression of MAPK and the activated P-MAPK both with and without insulin-like growth factor (IGF) stimulation during treatment with increasing concentrations of NVP-AEW541. Unphosphorylated MAPK is used as an internal loading control.

Immunoblot of Akt and phosphorylated (P)-Akt. Immunoblots of lysates from NCI-H2373 and NCI-H2461 cell lines reveal expression of Akt and the activated P-Akt, both with and without insulin-like growth factor (IGF) stimulation, during treatment with increasing concentrations of NVP-AEW541. Unphosphorylated Akt is used as an internal loading control.
