产品介绍

Actinomycin D (dactinomycin)是一种从链霉菌属中分离出来的天然色肽,具有一个杂环发色团和两个环状五肽内酯环。

Cell lines

A10 cells (Vascular SMC)

Preparation Method

Dissolve actinomycin D in 0.1% DMSO and make 3 different concentration groups: 80 nM, 800 nM, 8 μM. Add various doses of actinomycin D to cultured SMC which have been starved for 24 h and incubate at 37 ℃. Drug treatment is carried out for 18-24 h. In the meantime, a vehicle control containing DMSO is also included.

Reaction Conditions

80 nM, 800 nM, 8 μM for 18-24h

Applications

Actinomycin D is a significant polypeptide antibiotic isolated from soil bacteria, Streptomyces. It inhibits DNA repair with IC50 of 0.42 μM and rests the cell cycle at G1 phase with IC50 of 0.4 nM.

Animal models

C57BL/6 wild-type mice with Em-TCL-1 transgenic mice tumor cells

Preparation Method

The original Em-TCL1a transgenic mice have been backcrossed to C57BL/6 mice for 9 generations. Tumor cells from Em-TCL-1 transgenic mice were engrafted to C57BL/6 wild-type mice.

Dosage form

0.06 mg/kg, i.p.

Applications

Actinomycin D was chosen to further investigate as treatment option for CLL patients high-risk features, due to its activity in p53-aberrant CLL cells, known clinical properties, low IC50 and moderate toxicity. The presence of actinomycin D prevents the release of protective factors from the stroma cells. BCL2 mRNA downregulation in CLL is specific for actinomycin D treatment. Actinomycin D leads to tumor regression in this mouse model of CLL, and in two of four mice renewed lymphoma formation was prevented, strongly suggesting a potent role for actinomycin D in CLL treatment in humans.

产品描述

Actinomycin D (dactinomycin) is a natural chromopeptide isolated from Streptomyces species, and has one heterocyclic chromophore and two cyclic pentapeptide lactone rings. [1] It is the first antibiotic showing anti-tumor activity, and has been implemented in the clinical practice for years to treat, such as testicular cancer, and choriocarcinoma.[2]

Actinomycin D intercalates into DNA to inhibit the transcription. It forms a very stable complex with DNA, preventing the unwinding of the DNA double-helix, so as to inhibit the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity. Actinomycin D is well implemented in mRNA stability assays to inhibit the synthesis of new mRNA, allowing the assessment of mRNA decay by measuring mRNA abundance following transcription inhibition. [3]

The in vitro experiment suggests that actinomycin D is an potent and effective agent to inhibit the proliferation of SMC by preventing cells from getting into S phase. The LD50 (260 lM) determined by measuring the remaining viable cells at various concentrations of actinomycin D was about five orders greater than that of IC50 (0.4 nM), which was calculated by measuring the percentage of cells in S phase following the treatment of actinomycin D. A dose-dependent inhibition by actinomycin D was found in PCNA, Raf and FAK. However, in contrast to those seen on PCNA, Raf and FAK expression, the phosphorylated Erk was significantly up-regulated by actinomycin D. An in vivo study using rat carotid artery as a model was conducted to evaluate if topically applied actinomycin D onto the arterial adventitia of the artery was effective in suppressing the formation of stenosis following a balloon angioplasty. Topical application of pluronic gel containing 80 nM and 80 μM actinomycin D to surround the adventitia of rat carotid arteries, the thickness of the neointima was significantly reduced (45% and 55%, respectively).
