Cells sense their environment via signaling networks and malignant cells often hijack signaling pathways for their growth, which complicates defining the effects of drugs. Here, we map the state of the signaling network of B-cell lymphoma cells via simultaneous quantification of 111 (phospho-)proteins. We demonstrate that the B-cell signaling network can be disrupted with specific clinical small molecule inhibitors (iBTK, iSYK, iNF{kappa}B), thereby inducing a repressed state of the network. Principal component analysis identifies how the three inhibitors work along subtly different repression axes through the signaling state landscape. Finally, we observe that 1 {micro}M combination treatment with all three inhibitors is more effective in inducing the repressed state than 10 {micro}M of the single inhibitors. These results emphasize that cellular signaling occurs in complex networks, and underscore how quantification of the signaling state landscape provides insights into how combination drug treatments can bring cells in a desired network state.
