    In Vitro

    Bafilomycin A1 is treated to different types of membrane ATPases with the I50 of 400 nmol/mg, 4 nmol/mg and 50 nmol/mg for the vacuolar ATPases of a fungus (N. crassa), a plant (Z. mays), and an animal (bovine abrenal medulla). The I50 values refer as μmol of Bafilomycin A1 per mg of protein giving 50% inhibition of ATPase activity[1].
    Bafilomycin A1 ((-)-Bafilomycin A1) disrupts autophagic flux by inhibiting both V-ATPase-dependent acidification and Ca-P60A/SERCA-dependent autophagosome-lysosome fusion[2].
    Bafilomycin A1 at a low concentration (1 nM) effectively and specifically inhibits and kills pediatric B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells. It targets both early and late stages of the autophagy pathway, mitochondria and induces caspase-independent apoptosis. Bafilomycin A1 induces the binding of Beclin 1 to Bcl-2, which further inhibits autophagy and promotes apoptotic cell death[5].
    The growth of the BEL-7402 hepatocellular carcinoma and HO-8910 ovarian cancer cell lines are retarded and the metastatic potential is inhibited by Bafilomycin A1. Transmission electron microscopy and assays of capsase-3 and -9 suggest that Bafilomycin A1 induces apoptosis[6].
    Bafilomycin A1 inhibits the growth of a variety of cultured cells dose-dependently, including golden hamster embryo and NIH-3T3 fibroblasts, whether or not they are transformed, and PC12 and HeLa cells. The IC50 of Bafilomycin A1 for inhibition of cell growth ranges from 10 to 50 nM[7].

    In Vivo

    Chronic treatment with low-dose Bafilomycin A1 (0.1 mg/kg) slightly inhibits the tumor volume, but the final tumor volume does not differ significantly from the control. However, chronic treatment with high dose Bafilomycin A1 (1 mg/kg) inhibits the tumor growth significantly, compared with controls, after 21 days[8].
    Bafilomycin A1 (0.1 mg/kg or 1 mg/kg; i.p. daily for 3 days) extends the survival of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) xenograft mice with advanced disease[9].

    In Vivo:

    Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

    For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
    To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    • Protocol 1

    Cell Assay
    [2]

    Cells are harvested using 0.05% trypsin and suspended in culture medium containing 10% FCS, and 200 µL suspension is added to each well of a 96-well plate. Cells are cultured for 20 h for adhesion. Bafilomycin A1 is added to the wells at the final concentrations of 200, 400 and 800 nM, in triplicate. At 24, 48 and 72 h, 20 µl WST-1 is added to the cells. Following incubation at 37°C for 4 h, the plates are read to determine the optical density (OD) at 435 nm with 675 nm reference using a spectrophotometer[2].

    Animal Administration
    [4]

    Mice: Tumor-bearing mice are divided randomly into three experimental groups: a low-dose Bafilomycin A1 (0.1 mg/kg per day)-treated group (n=5), a high-dose Bafilomycin A1 (1 mg/kg per day)-treated group (n=5),and a control group (n=5). Tumor size is measured and tumor volume doubling time is calculated[4].

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
