Fig 3: Sensitivity to CDK2 inhibitor tagtociclib at varying doses of abemaciclib.Lipo246 cells were cotreated with the CDK4/6 inhibitor abemaciclib (control, 10 nM, and 50 nM) and a range of CDK2 inhibitor concentrations (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2.5, 5, 10 μM tagtociclib). (A) Proportion of pRB/RB positive cells following treatment with CDK2 inhibitor, tagtociclib. (B) Fold changes in the proportion of pRB/RB positive cells under treatment with tagtociclib. For each abemaciclib condition, fold changes were computed by normalizing the proportion of pRB/RB positive cells to the average proportion of the first three doses of tagtociclib (0, 0.25, and 0.5 μM). Error bars represent the SD across three technical replicates. Dashed lines indicate (A) the proportion or (B) fold change of pRB/RB positive cells without treatment with the CDK2 inhibitor.
Fig 4: Operating room-to-lab single-cell proteomic workflow using iterative indirect immunofluorescence (4i)(A) Experimental workflow of the operating room-to-lab pipeline used for single-cell, multiplexed immunofluorescence profiling. Lipo246 cells were cultured and dedifferentiated primary tumor cells were resected and dissociated to be treated with increasing concentrations of abemaciclib for 24 h. Cells were fixed and subjected to iterative indirect immunofluorescence imaging (4i) consisting of iteration of antibody labeling (block → 1°/2° Ab → elution) and imaging. Images from all 4i rounds are processed through a computational pipeline to perform single-cell segmentation, signal quantification, and feature extraction. (B) Lipo246 and primary tumor cells were stained for 17 cell cycle regulators pRB, RB, Ki-67, CDK2, CDK4, cyclin D1 (cycD1), cyclin E1 (cycE1), Cdt1, E2F1, cyclin A2 (cycA2), cyclin B1 (cycB1), p21, Mdm2, pS6, S6, p53, p16, and integrated DNA. Representative immunofluorescence images from sequential rounds of 4i demonstrate a subset of these regulators for repeated labeling of distinct protein targets within the same cells. Nuclear DNA staining is used for segmentation, image registration, and integration across imaging rounds. (C) Single-cell matrix of 4i-measured cell cycle features. Heatmap of normalized protein expression across all quantified regulators, with individual cells ordered by increasing ratio of phosphorylated to total RB (pRB/RB), computed from 4i measurements. The corresponding single-cell pRB/RB distribution is shown at right and exhibits a bimodal structure used to define low pRB/RB (blue; nonproliferating) and high pRB/RB (pink; proliferating) cell populations. This organization reveals coordinated variation in cell cycle regulators across the pRB/RB-defined axis of cell cycle state.
