  2. Deubiquitinase Apoptosis
  3. RA-9

RA-9 is a potent and selective proteasome-associated deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) inhibitor with favorable toxicity profile and anticancer activity. RA-9 blocks ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation without impacting 20S proteasome proteolytic activity. RA-9 selectively induces onset of apoptosis in ovarian cancer cell lines and primary cultures derived from donors. RA-9 induces endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-stress responses in ovarian cancer cells.

In Vitro

RA-9 (10-30 μM; 48 hours) inhibits growth of ovarian cancer cell lines and primary cultures[1].
RA-9 (1.25-5 μM; 18 hours) causes cell cycle arrest and caspase-mediated apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells[1].
RA-9 (5 μM; 0-24 hours) induces ER-stress responses in ovarian cancer cells[1].
RA-9 (5 μM; over 24 hours) treatment results with time-dependent accumulation of the cleaved formed of PARP noticeable as early as 8 hours[1].

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: Cisplatin-sensitive ovarian cancer cell lines TOV-21G and ES-2, Cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer cell lines HEY and OVCAR-3, primary ovarian cancer cells
Concentration: 10, 20, 30 μM
Incubation Time: 48 hours
Result: Compromised the viability of ovarian cancer cells in a dose-dependent fashion.

Cell Cycle Analysis[1]

Cell Line: ES-2 cells
Concentration: 1.25, 5 μM
Incubation Time: 18 hours
Result: Resulted in a dose-dependent increase in the fraction of ES-2 cells in the G2-M cell cycle phase.

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: ES-2, SKOV-3 and TOV-21G ovarian cancer cells
Concentration: 5 μM
Incubation Time: 0-24 h
Result: Caused a time-dependent increase in the steady levels of the early ER-stress marker GRP-78, as well as the late ER-stress markers IRE1-α and Ero1L-α.
In Vivo

RA-9 (5 mg/kg; i.p; one-day on, two-days off) inhibits human ovarian cancer cell growth in vivo and prolongs survival in a mouse model for ovarian cancer[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.
