    Silmitasertib purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Oncol Rep. 2017 Feb;37(2):1141-1147.  [Abstract]

    CX-4945 increases the expression of apoptosis markers. Western blot analysis reveals that CX-4945 treatment increases the expression of cleaved PARP or cleaved caspase-3. CX-4945 treatment decreases the expression of Bcl-2 or Bcl-xL. The experiment is performed in triplicate, producing similar results.

    Silmitasertib purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Oncotarget. 2016 Aug 16;7(33):53191-53203.  [Abstract]

    MPNST cell lines show a decrease in CK2 activity in response to escalating CX-4945 concentrations (24 h) as measured by a western blot analysis using anti-CK2 substrate, and to undergo apoptosis as indicated by increased cleaved PARP.

    Description

    Silmitasertib (CX-4945) is an orally bioavailable, highly selective and potent CK2 inhibitor, with IC50 values of 1 nM against CK2α and CK2α'.

    IC50 & Target[1]

    CK2α

    1 nM (IC50)

    CK2α'

    1 nM (IC50)

    In Vitro

    Silmitasertib (CX-4945) causes cell-cycle arrest and selectively induces apoptosis in cancer cells relative to normal cells, attenuates PI3K/Akt signalingand, and the antiproliferative activity of Silmitasertib (CX-4945) is correlated with expression levels of the CK2α catalytic subunit, Attenuation of PI3K/Akt signaling[1]. Silmitasertib (CX-4945) with PS-341 treatment prevents leukemic cells from engaging a functional UPR in order to buffer the PS-341-mediated proteotoxic stress in ER lumen, and decreases pro-survival ER chaperon BIP/Grp78 expression[2]. Silmitasertib (CX-4945) induces cytotoxicity and apoptosis, and exerts anti-proliferative effects in hematological tumors by downregulating CK2 expression and suppressing activation of CK2-mediated PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathways[3].

    In Vivo

    Silmitasertib (CX-4945) (25 or 75 mg/kg, p.o.) is well tolerated and demonstrated robust antitumor activity with concomitant reductions of the mechanism-based biomarker phospho-p21 (T145) in murine xenograft models[1].

    In Vivo:

    Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

    For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
    To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    • Protocol 1

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

      Solubility: 2.08 mg/mL (5.95 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

      This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.08 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

      Solubility: 2.08 mg/mL (5.95 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

      This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.08 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Cell Assay
    [1]

    Various cell lines are seeded at a density of 3,000 cells per well 24 hours prior to treatment, in appropriate media, and then treated with indicated concentrations of Silmitasertib (CX-4945). Suspensions cells are seeded and treated on the same day. Following 4 days of incubation, Alamar Blue (20 μL, 10% of volume per well) is added and the cells are further incubated at 37°C for 4-5 hours. Fluorescence with excitation wavelength at 530-560 nm and emission wavelength at 590 nm is measured.

    Animal Administration
    [1]

    Xenografts are initiated by subcutaneous injection of BxPC-3 cells into the right hind flank region of each mouse or BT-474 cells are injected into the mammary fat pad of mice implanted with estrogen pellets. When tumors reach a designated volume of 150-200 mm3, animals are randomized and divided into groups of 9 to 10 mice per group. Silmitasertib (CX-4945) is administered by oral gavage twice daily at 25 or 75 mg/kg for 31 and 35 consecutive days for the BT-474 and BxPC-3 models, respectively. Tumor volumes and body weights are measured twice weekly. The length and width of the tumor are measured with calipers and the volume calculated using the following formula: tumor volume=(length × width2)/2.

    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.
