    In Vitro

    Gemcitabine Hydrochloride (purchased from MedChem Express, 0.003-1 μM; 3 days) kills both mouse and human senescent cells effectively and potently[4].
    Gemcitabine Hydrochloride inhibits the growth of BxPC-3, Mia Paca-2, PANC-1, PL-45 and AsPC-1 cells with IC50s of 37.6, 42.9, 92.7, 89.3 and 131.4 nM, respectively[1].

    Cell Viability Assay[4]

    Cell Line: Non-senescent and replication-induced senescent new born dermal fibroblasts (NBFs)
    Concentration: 0.003, 0.01, 0.03, 0.1, 0.3, 1 μM
    Incubation Time: 3 days
    Result: Killed replication-induced senescent NBFs for 3 days with 11.0% cell viability.
    In Vivo

    Gemcitabine Hydrochloride can be administered via endotracheal spray in rats without marked toxicity with a maximum tolerated dose of 4 mg/kg once a week for 9 weeks. The toxicity of Gemcitabine is lower via lung than oral administration at dosages of 2, 4, and 6 mg/kg[2].
    Treatment of the LSL-KrasG12D/+; LSL-Trp53R172H; Pdx-1-Cre mice with either Gemcitabine (50 mg/kg, i.p.) or the combination DMAPT/Gemcitabine Hydrochloride significantly increases the median survival time by more than 30 days compared to the placebo group (254.5 or 255 days vs. 217.5 days, respectively)[3].

    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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (6.94 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (6.94 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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.

    For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
    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.

    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.
