Supplementary Figure Legends Figure S1. Azelastine inhibits the proliferation of CRC cells with no toxic effects in mice. (A) Comparison of colony formation ability of HT29, DLD1 and HCT116 cells treated with indicated concentrations of azelastine. (B) Soft agar colony formation. (C) Body weight of nude mice. (D) Representative images of the liver, kidney and lung tissues stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H & E). Bars, SD; *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.001. Figure S2. Analysis of differentially expressed proteins in azelastine-treated HT29 cells by PLGEM. (A) PLGEM fitting of the abundance of azelastine-regulated proteins. (B) Q–Q plot of the residual versus standard normal. (C) Residual distribution along with the rank of mean abundances. (D) Histogram of residuals of identified proteins. Figure S3. Azelastine induces mitochondrial dysfunction in CRC cells. Western blotting was performed to determine the expression of Bcl-xL, Bax, and Bcl-2 in HT29 and DLD1 cells treated with indicated concentrations of azelastine for 48 h. Figure S4. Activation of the ERK pathway significantly abrogates the effect of azelastine on mitochondria. (A) Immunofluorescent staining was carried out with MitoTracker® probe to compare the morphology of mitochondria in the azelastine- treated HT29 and DLD1 cells. (B) p-ERK expression was detected by Western blotting. (C-F) CRC cells overexpressing MEK were treated with indicated concentrations of azelastine for 48 h. WST-1, immunofluorescent staining, and Western blotting were performed to compare cell viability (D), morphology of mitochondria (E), and p-Drp1 expression (F). (G) Comparison of anti-proliferation ability of azelastine and Rotenone in HT29 and DLD1 cells. Bars, SD; *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01. Figure S5. ARF1, but not HRH1, mediates the anticancer effect of azelastine. (A) HRH1-deficient CRC cell lines were established. (B) WST-1 assay was used to measure cell viability in HRH1-deficient CRC cell lines treated with various concentrations of azelastine. (C) Experimental schema of DARTS technology to identify the direct target of azelastine. (D) ARF1-deficient CRC cell lines were established. (E) WST-1 assay was used to measure cell viability in ARF1-deficient HT29 and DLD1cells treated with various concentrations of azelastine. (F) HT29 and DLD1 cells were treated with Mdivi-1 (10μM) for 6 h, then treated with azelastine (20μM); WST-1 assay was used to compare the cell viability. Bars, SD; *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01.

(E-H) Comparison of p-ERK expression (E), cell proliferation rate (H), anchorage-dependent growth ability (F) and anchorage-independent growth ability (G) in ARF1-overexpressing CRC cells in the presence or absence of U0126 (5 μM), and the control cells. (I) Successful establishment of inducible knockdown of ARF1 in HT29 and DLD1 cells. (J-L) Effect of ARF1 knockdown on proliferation (J) and anchorage-independent growth of HT29 and DLD1 cells (K). (L) Comparison of the morphology of mitochondria in ARF1- knockdown HT29 and DLD1 cells and control cells. Bars, SD; *, P < 0.05. Bars, SD; *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001. Figure S7. Clinical significance of ARF1. (A) Comparison of ARF1 expression in 20 pairs of CRC tumors and adjacent normal tissues. (B) Data from starBase v3.0 showed that the expression of ARF1 was higher in various cancers than normal tissues. (C) Data from TCGA and GEO databases indicated that ARF1 expression was correlated with poor survival in various cancers. Bars, SD; *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001. Figure S8. Azelastine does not regulate ARF6 expression or activity in CRC cells. The expression and activity of ARF6 in HT29 and DLD1 cells treated with different concentrations of azelastine for 48 h were measured. Figure S9. Azelastine directly binds to ARF1. (A) Comparison of ARF1 expression and activity in the azelastine-treated tumor xenografts. (B) Biacore assay showed that ARF1 binds to azelastine with a Kd of 1.74 x 10-9. (C) Biacore assay showed that ARF1- T48S mutant binds to azelastine with a significantly increased Kd of 5.94 x 10-7.
