In Vitro |
PK11007 (15-30 µM) reduces the viability of mutant p53 cell lines MKN1 (V143A), HUH-7 (Y220C), NUGC-3 (Y220C), and SW480 (R273H/P309S). PK11007 also shows inhibitory activities against the p53 wt cancer cell lines HUH-6 and NUGC-4, as well as the fibroblast cell line WI-38 only at high concentrations (60 and 120 µM). PK11007 increases levels of p53 target genes and activates the unfolded protein response pathway. PK11007 also increases p53 activity in HUH-6 and NUGC-4 cells. PK11007 induces cell death via caspase-independent pathways. PK11007 (30, 60 µM) induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) especially in mutant p53 cells[1]. PK11007 inhibits the proliferation of a panel of 17 breast cell lines, with IC50s ranging from 2.3 to 42.2 μM[2].

Cell Assay |
Cell viability is measured using the CellTiter-Fluor cell viability assay kit. Cells are seeded in 96-well plates at 7,500-15,000 cells per well and incubated overnight. Samples are prepared in medium with a twice-as-high compound (including PK11007), and DMSO concentration then added to an equivalent volume of growth medium, yielding a final DMSO concentration of 0.5%. After incubating of cells for 23 h or the respective time period, CellTiter-Fluor reagent is added to each well and incubated again for 45 min. Fluorescence is then recorded on a PHERAstar plate reader using 400/500 nm excitation/emission filters. Experiments are performed in quadruplicate[1].
