In Vivo

SN-38, the active and toxic metabolite of the anticancer prodrug Irinotecan. At 30 minutes after administration, Irinotecan plasma concentrations in Slco1a/1b(?/?) mice are 1.9-fold higher than in the wild-type mice (1.89 vs. 1.01 μM, respectively), whereas SN-38 plasma concentrations of Slco1a/1b(?/?) mice are 8-fold higher compare with wild-type mice (0.4 μg/mL vs. 0.05 μg/mL, respectively). Overall plasma exposure [AUC(5-240)] of Irinotecan is 1.7-fold higher in Oatp1a/1b knockout mice versus wild-type mice (209.8±6.7 vs. 120.9±4.4 μM/min; P<0.01), and 2.9-fold higher for SN-38 (50±2.9 vs. 12±2 μM/min; P<0.001)[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    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (6.37 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

  • Protocol 2

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

    Solubility: 2.08 mg/mL (5.30 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.08 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    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.

Cell Assay
[2]

In vitro SN-38 sensitivity is determined using the MTT assay. Cells are seeded in 96-well plates, and a range of SN-38 concentrations is added the following day. Following 48 h of drug exposure, the medium is discarded and the plates are incubated with medium containing MTT (0.5 mg/mL) for 3 h. Acidified (0.02 M HCl) sodium dodecyl sulphate (20 %) is added to dissolve the formed formazan. Optical density at 570 nm (and 670 nm for background) is measured, and the cell viability is calculated in percent compared to untreated cells. Experiments are repeated three times and the mean IC50 value ± standard deviation is determined. Relative resistance for each resistant cell line is calculated by dividing the mean IC50 value of the resistant cell line by the mean IC50 value of the corresponding parental cell line[2].

Animal Administration
[3]

Mice[3]
Female wild-type, Slco1a/1b(−/−)(Oatp1a/1b knockout), Slco1a/1b(−/−);1B1(tg), and Slco1a/1b(−/−);1B3(tg) (liver-specific OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 humanized transgenic) mice of comparable genetic background (>99% FVB) between 8 and 14 weeks of age are used. Irinotecan (20 mg/mL in water-based solution containing NaOH, lactic acid, and sorbitol) is diluted with saline (to 2 mg/mL) for administration of 10 mg/kg; 5 μL/g bodyweight are administered intravenously to mice. SN-38 is dissolved in DMSO (1 mg/mL) and 1 μL/g body weight is administered intravenously to mice to achieve a dosage of 1 mg/kg. The experiments are terminated by isoflurane anaesthesia, heparin-blood sampling by cardiac puncture followed by cervical dislocation and tissue collection. Blood samples are centrifuged at 5,200 × g for 5 minutes at 4°C and plasma is collected and stored at −30°C until analysis.

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.
