Malignant pleural mesothelioma PDX tumors were dissociated, treated with CROCS and HTDBP carried out. Cells were analyzed as previously described in Fig. 1. a Malignant pleural mesothelioma PDX tumors (CPDM_0011x, CPDM_0106x and CPDM_0184x) were implanted subcutaneously in the right and left flank of immunocompromised SCID-bg mice. When the right (RF) and/or left flank (LF) tumor reached 1000 mm3 mice were sacrificed and tumors harvested for CROCS HTDBP. b Venn diagram show the overlap between the CROCS HTDBP hits for MPM patient and PDX samples. c Heatmap showing ranked (highest at the top) Z-score across MPM PDX tumors harvested in (a), for each drug treatment. Blue represents a hit with a Z-score ≥ 3 and yellow are non-hits. d Graphs show mean Z-score for each drug treatment, for individual MPM PDX tumor harvested in (a). One tumor for CPDM_0106x and CPDM_0184x models and four tumors for CPDM_0011x model. Each individual dot represents a different drug treatment (single agent or drug-drug combination). A red dot represents a hit with a Z-score ≥ 3 with no replicate <1.5. Black dots are non-hits. e Graph showing mean Z-score for top ten most common hits and f hits with highest mean across n = 6 MPM PDX tumors.
