CAL-130 

IC₅₀ values for CAL-130 inhibition of PI3K isoforms are determined in ex vivo PI3 kinase assays using recombinant PI3K. A ten-point kinase inhibitory profile is determined with ATP at a concentration consistent with the K_M for each enzyme^[1].

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell proliferation of CCRF-CEM cells or shRNA-transfected CCRF-CEM cells, in presence or absence of CAL-130 (1, 2.5 and 5 μM), is followed by cell counting of samples in triplicate using a hemocytometer and trypan blue. For apoptosis determinations of untransfected or shRNA-transfected CCRF-CEMs, cells are stained with APC-conjugated Annexin-V in Annexin Binding Buffer and analyzed by flow cytometry. For primary T-ALL samples, cell viability is assessed using the BD Cell Viability kit coupled with the use of fluorescentcounting beads. For this, cells are plated with MS5-DL1 stroma cells, and after 72 hr following CAL-130 treatment, cells are harvested and stained with an APC-conjugated antihuman CD45 followed by a staining with the aforementioned kit^[1].

Mice^[1]
For subcutaneous xenograft experiments, luminescent CCRF-CEM (CEMluc) cells are generated by lentiviral infection with FUW-luc and selection with Neomycin. Luciferase expression is verified with the Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay kit. 2.5×10⁶ CEM-luc cells embedded in Matrigel are injected in the flank of NOD.Cg-Prkdc^scid Il2rg^tm1Wjl/Sz mice. After 1 week, mice are treated by oral gavage with vehicle (0.5% methyl cellulose, 0.1% Tween 80), or CAL-130 (10 mg/kg) every 8 hr daily for 4 days, and then tumors are imaged as follows: mice anesthetized by isoflurane inhalation are injected intraperitoneally with D-luciferin (50 mg/kg). Photonic emission is imaged with the in vivo imaging system. Tumor bioluminescence is quantified by integrating the photonic flux (photons per second) through a region encircling each tumor using the Living Image software package. Administration of D-luciferin and detection of tumor bioluminescence in Lck/Pten^fl/fl/Gt(ROSA)26Sor^tm1(Luc)Kael/J mice are performed in a similar manner.
