In Vitro

Dp44mT is cytotoxic to breast cancer cells, at least in part, due to selective inhibition of top2α. Dp44mT alone induced selective cell killing in the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 when compared with healthy mammary epithelial cells (MCF-12A). It induces G1 cell cycle arrest and reduces cancer cell clonogenic growth at nanomolar concentrations. Dp44mT, but not the iron chelator desferal, induces DNA double-strand breaks quantified as S139 phosphorylated histone foci (γ-H2AX) and Comet tails induced in MDA-MB-231 cells. Doxorubicin-induced cytotoxicity and DNA damage are both enhanced significantly in the presence of low concentrations of Dp44mT. The chelator caused selective poisoning of DNA topoisomerase IIα (top2α) as measured by an in vitro DNA cleavage assay and cellular topoisomerase-DNA complex formation[1]. Dp44mT targets lysosome integrity through copper binding. Copper binding is essential for the potent antitumor activity of Dp44mT, as coincubation with nontoxic copper chelators markedly attenuated its cytotoxicity[2].

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

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.76 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.76 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Kinase Assay
[1]

For DNA topoisomerase IIα assays, the 161-bp fragment from pBluescript SK(-) phagemid DNA or single stranded oligonucleotides are 5'-end labeled with [32P]ATP and T4 polynucleotide kinase. Labeling mixtures are subsequently centrifuged through Mini Quick Spin DNA columns (for pSK fragments) or Oligo columns (for oligonucleotides) to remove the unincorporated label. Annealing to the complementary strand of the oligonucleotides is done by heating the reaction mixture to 95°C and overnight cooling to room temperature in 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.8), 100 mM NaCl, and 1 mM EDTA. DNA substrates (10 pmol/reaction) are incubated with 500 ng of top2a or top2h in the presence or absence of Dp44mT for the indicated times at 25°C in 10 μL of reaction buffer. Reactions are stopped by adding SDS (final concentration 0.5%). Samples are separated on 16% (for pSK DNA) or 20% (for the oligonucleotides) denaturing polyacrylamide gels (7 M urea). Imaging and quantitation are done using a PhosphorImager[1].

Cell Assay
[1]

Cell proliferation is measured using a sulforhodamine B dye–based assay. MDA-MB-231(breast cancer) and MCF-12A (healthy mammary epithelial) cells are incubated with increasing concentrations of Dp44mT (0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 100 μM). Results are expressed relative to control[1].

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.
