We previously reported that store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) blockers, such as RP4010, are promising antitumor drugs for esophageal cancer. As a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), afatinib received FDA approval to be used in targeted therapy for patients with EGFR mutation-positive cancers. While preclinical studies and clinical trials have shown that afatinib has benefits for esophageal cancer patients, it is not known whether a combination of afatinib and RP4010 could achieve better anticancer effects. Since TKI can alter intracellular Ca2+ dynamics through EGFR/phospholipase C-γ pathway, in this study, we evaluated the inhibitory effect of afatinib and RP4010 on intracellular Ca2+ oscillations in KYSE-150, a human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cell line, using both experimental and mathematical simulations. Our mathematical simulation of Ca2+ oscillations could fit well with experimental data responding to afatinib or RP4010, both separately or in combination. Guided by simulation, we were able to identify a proper ratio of afatinib and RP4010 for combined treatment, and such a combination presented synergistic anticancer-effect evidence by experimental measurement of intracellular Ca2+ and cell proliferation. This intracellular Ca2+ dynamic-based mathematical simulation approach could be useful for a rapid and cost-effective evaluation of combined targeting therapy drugs."}],"department":[{"_id":"HeEd"}]}
