Observational analysis demonstrates reduced cell viability in triple-negative breast cancer, suggesting that HBS-101 disrupts midkine signaling.
Supplementary Figure S3: A, Activity of biotin-HBS-101 on cell viability was analyzed by MTT assay (n = 3). B, The sensitivity of both scrambled and MDK-siRNA BT-549 cells to HBS-101 treatment was evaluated by measuring cell viability with the Cell Titer-Glo assay after 72 hours of treatment. C, The Western blot confirms the successful knockdown of MDK. D, Quantification of the fold change in Annexin V-positive MCF-10A cells is presented as a bar graph. E, To evaluate the effect of HBS-101 on MDK-mediated PI3K/AKT signaling, MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with HBS-101 (20 µM, 15 hrs), and the protein expression levels were analyzed by Western blotting.
