    In Vitro

    In HepG2 cells, Ro 48-8071 reduces cholesterol synthesis dose dependently with an IC50 value of appr 1.5 nM[1]. Ro 48-8071 (10 μM) significantly reduces the viability of PC-3 prostate cancer cells, but not normal prostate cells. Ro 48-8071 (10-30 μM) induces apoptosis of both LNCaP and C4-2 cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. And castration-resistant PC-3 and DU145 cells also demonstrate significant levels of apoptosis following 24-hour treatment with Ro 48-8071. Ro 48-8071 (10-25 μM) reduces AR protein expression in a dose-dependent manner. Ro 48-8071 (0.1-1 μM) increases ERβ protein expression dose-dependently in both hormone-dependent LNCaP and castration-resistant PC-3 cells[2]. Using mammalian cells engineered to express human ERα or ERβ protein, together with an ER-responsive luciferase promoter, Ro 48-8071 dose-dependently inhibits 17β-estradiol (E2)-induced ERα responsive luciferase activity (IC50, appr 10 µM), under conditions that are non-toxic to the cells[3].

    In Vivo

    Ro 48-8071 lowers LDL-C maximally appr 60% at 150 μmol/kg per day, with no further reduction up to 300 μmol/kg per day, leaving HDL-C unchanged at all doses in hamsters. Ro 48-8071 (≥00 μmol/kg per day) increases the amount of MOS in liver of hamsters. Ro 48-8071 (300 μmol/kg per day) remarkedly and significantly reduces VLDL secretion of hamsters[1]. Ro 48-8071 (5 or 20 mg/kg) significantly reduces in vivo tumor growth in mice, without weight loss of the mice. Furthermore, Ro 48-8071 at a concentration of 20 mg/kg, completely eradicates two of the 12 tumors being monitored in the mice in the timeframe tested[2]. Ro 48-8071 (20 mg/day/kg body weight) leads to a rapid and sustained inhibition (>50%) of cholesterol synthesis in the whole small intestine of BALB/c mice. Sterol synthesis is also reduced in the large intestine and stomach[4].

    Animal Administration
    [2]

    Six-week-old male athymic nude mice (nu/nu) weighing 20-22 g are used in the assay. Castration-resistant PC-3 cells (5×106 in 0.15 mL solution) are mixed with matrigel and RPMI-1640 medium (1/1, v/v) and injected subcutaneously into both flanks of each mouse (n=6 animals/group) and tumors allowed to develop. The tumors are measured twice per week with a digital caliper. Tumor volumes are calculated by the formula (L × W × H) × π/6. Drug treatment is started when tumor volumes reach appr 100 mm3. Mice are given daily tail vein injections of 0.1 mL solution of either 5 or 20 mg/kg Ro 48-8071 for 5 days. This is followed by an injection every other day for six additional treatments and then a final injection 2 hours prior to sacrifice. Control mice receive the same volume of phosphate-buffered saline on the same schedule. The animals are weighed and tumor volumes are measured twice weekly throughout the drug treatment period.

    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.
