From: Treatment with a combination of the ErbB (HER) family blocker afatinib and the IGF-IR inhibitor, NVP-AEW541 induces synergistic growth inhibition of human pancreatic cancer cells

Figure 6

Effect of IGF-I, IGF-II, Insulin, EGF and NRG-1 at in the presence or absence of IGF-IR and/or HER inhibitors (400 nM) in BxPc3 (A) or FA6 (B) cell line (overnight starved). Cells were grown to near-confluency in 10% FBS growth medium, then treated with the inhibitors in 0.1% FBS growth medium at 37°C. Following 24 h incubation with the inhibitors or growth medium alone cells were stimulated with 20 nM of various growth factors for 15 min. Cells were lysed , protein samples were separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred onto PVDF membranes and probed with the antibodies of interest. C). Effect of afatinib (400 nM) and NVPAEW541 (400 nM) when used alone or in combination in BxPc3 cells in 10% FBS growth medium.
