Data supporting reversal of PKA effects on c-MYC by eIF4A inhibition.
(A) Immunoblot showing the effect of 48 hr of non-targeting control (NTC) or four pooled PRKACA siRNA on endogenous c-MYC or overexpressed c-MYC lacking a 5’UTR. Doxycycline (dox) treatment was 1 μg/ml for 24 hr prior to harvest. (B) Parental Colo741 cells or Colo741 with dox-inducible 3xFLAG-MYC lacking a 5’UTR were treated with escalating doses of zotatifin and analyzed for c-MYC expression. (C) AUC determination for each siRNA used for zotatifin viability experiment in Figure 4F. Average of three technical replicates shown. p Value determined using two-tailed Student’s t-test, *p<0.05, and ** p<0.01.

PKA effects on cell cycle distribution in FLX1.
(A) FLX1 parental cells were treated with DMSO or 50 μM FSK/IBMX for 4 hours, with BrdU added for the last 20 minutes. Cells were then stained for nuclear content with 7-AAD and active DNA synthesis with anti-BrdU antibody, then acquired by FACS. Average of 3 samples is shown. Statistically significant increase in S-phase% with FSK/IBMX was noted by one-tailed Student’s t-Test (p = 0.002). (B) FLX1 cells with dox-inducible 3xFLAG-PKAR1AG325D were treated with ±dox for 48 hours and then analyzed as above. Statistically significant decrease in S-phase% with dox was noted by one-tailed Student’s t-Test (p = 0.03). We note the markedly low S-phase percentage shown here. FLX1 cells have a >72 hour doubling time, and the same labeling/staining conditions show significantly higher S-phase% in many other tumor cell lines in our hands.

FLX1 and Colo741 with dox-induced 3xFLAG-c-MYC lacking a 5’UTR and including the stabilizing T58A mutation.
Dox treatment was 1 μG/mL for 40 hours prior to harvest with zotatifin or DMSO for 24 hours. Of note, the MYCT58A allele was toxic in both cells but particularly in FLX1, resulting in reduced expression of vinculin and other housekeeping proteins.

FSK/IBMX and zotatifin effects on other translationally regulated transcripts.
(A) Time course of FSK/IBMX in Colo741 and FLX1 showing increased expression of ERBB2; kinetics are somewhat different between the two cell lines. (B) Effect of 24 hour treatment with 100 nM zotatifin on ERBB2 protein levels performed on same samples as shown in Figure 7C.
