MG132 (10 mg/kg; i.p.; daily for 25 days starting 5 days after EC9706 cells injection) significantly inhibits tumor growth of the EC9706 xenograft without causing toxicity to mice.
MG-132 (1 mg/kg; i.v.; twice a week for 4 weeks) shows potent tumor inhibitory effect against mice bearing HeLa tumors.
MG-132 (1-10 μg/kg/24 hours; subcutaneously implanted osmotic pumps; for 8 days) greatly increases the expression levels of β-dystroglycan, α-dystroglycan, α-sarcoglycan, and dystrophin in skeletal muscle lysates in mice (six-month-old male C57BL/10ScSn DMD mdx mice).
Animal Model:
5- to 6-weeks old female athymic nude mice (EC9706 xenograft)
Dosage:
10 mg/kg
Administration:
I.p.; daily for 25 days starting 5 days after EC9706 cells injection
Result:
Significantly inhibited tumor growth of the EC9706 xenograft without causing toxicity to the mice.
Animal Model:
Five-week-old female C.B-17/lcr-scid/scidJcl mice (bearing HeLa cells)
Dosage:
1 mg/kg
Administration:
Intravenous injection; twice a week for 4 weeks
Result:
The growth inhibition rates in HeLa tumors was 49% compared to the control.
MG-132 (Z-Leu-Leu-Leu-al) initiates neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells at a low concentration (30 nM) and is a very strong inhibitor of 20S proteasome.
MG-132 (10 μM; 1 hour) reverses the effects of TNF- α on I κ B degradation and NF-κ B activation in A549 cells.
MG-132 (0.75-5 μM; 24 hours) potently induces p53-dependent apoptosis in KIM-2 cells by 26S proteasome inhibition.
MG-132 (10-40 μM; 24 hours) significantly reduces the viability of C6 glioma cells in both time- and concentration-dependent manners and shows the IC
50
of 18.5 μM at 24 hours.
MG-132 (18.5 μM; 24 hours) induces down-regulation of anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and XIAP and up-regulates expression of pro-apoptotic protein Bax and caspase-3.
Cell Viability Assay
Cell Line:
C6 glioma cells
Concentration:
10, 20, 30, 40 μM
Incubation Time:
24 hours
Result:
Significantly reduced the viability of C6 glioma cells beginning at 6 h in both time- and concentration-dependent manners and showed the IC
50
of 18.5 μM at 24 hours.
Western Blot Analysis
Cell Line:
A549 cells
Concentration:
10 μM
Incubation Time:
1 hour
Result:
Reversed the effects of TNF-α on IκB degradation and resulted in a reversal of TNF-α-induced NF-κB activation.
