Pooled means of triplicate experiments are plotted plus or minus the standard error of the mean. (C) AZD5363 induces apoptosis in MR49C and MR49F cells as assessed using caspase-3 activity assay. (D) Change in weekly mean tumour volume (left) and serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level (right) in mice treated with AZD mg/kg twice daily versus vehicle. Treatment was started when tumours reached 200mm3; ENZ 10mg/kg given daily since tumour inoculation was stopped when treatment started. Treatments were given by oral gavage 5 d on and 2 d off. (E) Representative images of Ki67 staining of collected vehicle- and AZD5363-treated MR49F xenografts. Complete results are shown in Supplementary Figure 2c.
