The study aims to evaluate whether CK2 inhibition enhances the efficacy of c-KIT-targeted therapies in pediatric pre-B-ALL.
Evaluated Nalm6 B-ALL cells treated with imatinib to establish IC50 for combination testing.
Conducted 72-hour cytotoxicity synergy analysis using WST-1 assay with varying doses of CX-4945 and imatinib.
Defined synergy using a combination index <0.85 through Calcusyn analysis.
IC50 of imatinib as a single agent was 25 μM; CX-4945 showed an IC50 of 4 μM.
Numerous combinations of CX-4945 and imatinib displayed synergistic cytotoxicity.
CK2 inhibition with CX-4945 was found to enhance therapeutic efficacy of imatinib in B-ALL cells.
