PK11195 can increase GO cytotoxicity in primary AML cell samples. Nine primary cell samples from AML patients who had not yet received GO therapy were exposed to 10 ng/mL GO with or without 50 μM PK11195, 2.5 μg/mL CSA, or 20 μM MK-571. The treated live cell fractions are displayed relative to untreated live cell fractions, as in Figure 2. PK11195 specifically increased GO-induced cytotoxicity in 6 samples, was more than supra-additive with GO in 5 samples, and was more effective than CSA or MK-571 in 4 of these samples. Each primary cell sample was exposed to each treatment condition in triplicate wells.
