Senexin A is an inhibitor of CDK8/19 (IC50: 280 nM, CDK8) and an inhibitor downstream of p21 transcription. It only inhibits p21-induced transcription but does not inhibit other biological effects of p21. Senexin A inhibits CMV-GFP induction as well as the p21 stimulatory activity of the consensus NF-κB-dependent promoters.

Description

Senexin A is an inhibitor of CDK8/19 (IC50: 280 nM, CDK8) and an inhibitor downstream of p21 transcription. It only inhibits p21-induced transcription but does not inhibit other biological effects of p21. Senexin A inhibits CMV-GFP induction as well as the p21 stimulatory activity of the consensus NF-κB-dependent promoters[1][2].

In Vitro

Senexin A inhibits CDK8 and CDK19 ATP site binding with Kd50 of 0.83 μM and 0.31 μM, respectively[1].
Senexin A inhibits β-catenin-dependent transcription in HCT116 colon cancer cells[1].
In HT1080 cells, Senexin A strongly inhibits the induction of the transcription factor EGR1 upon serum starvation[1].
Senexin A also reduces the expression of many secreted tumor-promoting factors in doxorubicin-treated wild-type HCT116 cells[1].

In Vivo

Five daily treatment of Senexin A fully reverses tumor-promoting effect of chemotherapy. Senexin A shows no detectable toxicity and no significant effects on body weight, organ weights, or blood cell counts in C57BL/6 mice during the treatment. This effect of doxorubicin treatment is completely abolished, however, when doxorubicin injection is followed by administration of Senexin A. Senexin A treatment strongly improves the response of A549/MEF tumors to doxorubicin[1].

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 (9.11 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% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (9.11 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    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.

Animal Administration
[1]

Mice: Senexin A toxicity study is conducted by Taconic in C57BL/6 mice, using five mice per group treated with 20 mg/kg Senexin A or carrier (80% propylene glycol), with five daily i.p. injections. Mice are weighed on days 3 and 6, and killed on day 6. Organ weights are determined for brain, kidney, thymus, spleen, lung, and liver. Terminal blood samples are analyzed to determine the numbers of total white blood cells, neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils[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.
