Co-treatment with GDC-0152 or LCL161 plus doxorubicin suppresses the growth of subcutaneously implanted osteosarcomas in mice. Luciferase-expressing murine 1029H osteosarcoma cells were implanted subcutaneously into nude mice. 1 week after implantation the mice commenced the specified regimens of GDC-0152 (a-c) or LCL161 (d) and/or doxorubicin. Left panels: Primary tumor growth was monitored via bioluminescence, and tumor weights were measured post-mortem. One way ANOVAs with Sidak post-tests were used to compare tumor growth 5 weeks after commencing combination versus sole agent or saline treatments (** P < 0.01; * P < 0.05; ns P > 0.05;colors of asterisks and “ns” labels reflect the treatments, as indicated in the in-figure legends). Right panels: Mice were weighed each day to check for drug toxicity (n = 5–25, +/− SEM). (d) One mouse that was administered LCL161 plus doxorubicin lost more than 15% of its starting weight so was euthanized
