Identification of functionally relevant targets for dasatinib activity.

(A) Left panel shows that cell lines with copy number gain involving at least 1 gene encoding dasatinib target are labeled with asterisks and black columns. The probability of these cells being dasatinib sensitive was calculated by Fisher’s exact test. In right panel, dasatinib GI50 values are shown as box plots (representing the 25th to 75th percentile; whisker representing the 95th percentile; dots representing outliers) for cell lines with (TESP+ 1 gene) and without (TESP 1 gene) copy number gain of dasatinib target genes (Wilcoxon test). (B) H322M cells harboring amplified SRC were either left untreated or transduced with an empty vector control (H322Mcont) or with shRNA targeting SRC (H322MSRCkd). After puromycin selection, levels of SRC in H322M cells transduced with the indicated vectors were analyzed by immunoblotting (top). The H322MSRCkd lanes were run on the same gel but were noncontiguous, as indicated by the white line. Viability was quantified by cell counting. Error bars represent SD between different experiments. (C) H322M cells were transduced with vectors encoding either active SRC or active SRC with a gatekeeper mutation SRC (T341M). Stable cells were treated with dasatinib for 96 hours. Viability is shown as percentage of untreated controls. Error bars indicate SD of 3 independent experiments. (D) Dasatinib-sensitive (TESP+; H322M) or -resistant cells (TESP; A549) were grown s.c. in nude mice. After 14 days of treatment (vehicle, dasatinib), tumor volumes were measured as diameters. SD of tumor volume in the cohort of treated and untreated mice was calculated and is depicted as error bars.
