Description | Nocodazole is a rapidly-reversible inhibitor of microtubule. Nocodazole binds to β-tubulin and disrupts microtubule assembly/disassembly dynamics, which prevents mitosis and induces apoptosis in tumor cells. |

In Vitro | Nocodazole exhibits good affinity toward c-KIT, with a Kd value of 1.6 μM in highly malignant human cancer cells. Nocodazole displays good binding affinity toward the components of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, such as BRAF (Kd=1.8 μM), BRAF(V600E) (Kd=1.1 μM), MEK1 (Kd=1.7 μM), and MEK2 (Kd=1.6 μM)[1]. Nocodazole has the highest affinity for αβIV and the lowest affinity for αβIII[2]. After release from the nocodazole block, cells synchronized in mitosis remaine sensitive to very low concentrations of paclitaxel for < 30 min, the time required for spindle formation, yet remains sensitive to vinblastine for > 90 min[3]. Nocodazole (1 nM) induces apoptosis of COLO 205 cancer cells[4]. Nocodazole (≥ 30 µg/mL) significantly increases the percentage of annexin-V-binding cells without significantly modifying average forward scatter of human erythrocytes[5]. |
In Vivo | Nocodazole (5 mg/kg/three times per week, i.p.) has antitumor effects in athymic mice bearing COLO 205 tumor xenografts. Nocodazole (1 nM) + ketoconazole dramatically increase the levels of p21/CIP1 and p27/KIP1 protein in the tumor tissues[4]. |
Cell Assay | Proteins are loaded at 50 μg/lane and separated by 12% (w:v) sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, blotted, and probed with antibodies for cyclin E, p53, p21/CIP1, p27/KIP1, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), cyclin A, cyclin D1, cyclin D3, cyclin B, CDK2, CDK4, and cytochrome C. Immunoreactive bands are visualized by incubating with the colorigenic substrates nitroblue tetrazolium and 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-phosphate. The expression of GAPDH is used as the control for equal protein loading. |
Animal Admin | COLO 205 cells are grown in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% FCS. Cells are harvested through two consecutive trypsinizations, centrifuged at 300×g; for 5 min, washed twice, and resuspended in sterile phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Cells (5×105) in 0.1 mL are injected subcutaneously between the scapulae of each nude mouse. After transplantation, tumor size is measured with calipers, and the tumor volume is estimated. Once tumors reach a mean size of 200 mm3, animals receive intraperitoneal injections of DMSO (25 μL), ketoconazole (50 mg/kg), nocodazole (5 mg/kg), or ketoconazole + nocodazole three times per week for 6 wk. |
