From: Combination of RAD001 (everolimus) and docetaxel reduces prostate and breast cancer cell VEGF production and tumour vascularisation independently of sphingosine-kinase-1

RAD001 but not docetaxel decreases VEGF expression in MDA-MB-231 and PC3 cells. MDA-MB-231 and PC3 cells were starved overnight then incubated with 0.1% DMSO (Cont), 100 nM RAD001 (RAD), 5 nM docetaxel (Doc) and the combination of these drugs (RAD + Doc) for 24 h. (A,C) VEGF expression was determined by qRT-PCR (B,D) VEGF protein levels were measured using ELISA. Columns, mean of three independent experiments performed in triplicate; bars, SEM. (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; §P < 0.001; ns, not significant, P > 0.05).
