a Sensitivity of PDX tumors to the mTOR inhibitor, temsirolimus. Chemoresistance to carboplatin and JQ1 were observed following a transient period of response. Mean and standard error of the mean (SEM) are shown. b Phosphorylation level of RPS6 upon temsirolimus treatment. c C-MYC and N-MYC protein levels upon JQ1 treatment. d Temsirolimus treatment results in decreased Ki-67 staining with concomitant increase in cleaved caspase 3 (Cl. CASP 3) following short-term (3 days) and long-term (50 days) treatments. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01. e Tumor growth after temsirolimus treatment withdrawal. Mean and SEM are shown. f Temsirolimus treatment can successfully rescue and induce tumor regression in carboplatin-resistant tumors. Mean and SEM are shown. g Combination therapy (temsirolimus and irinotecan) does not result in increased anti-tumor activity. Tumor regrowth is observed with withdrawal of treatment. Mean and SEM are shown
