8-Azaadenosine targets ADAR (adenosine deaminases acting on double-stranded RNA) activity only and does not affect ADAR1 mRNA levels[1][2].
8-Azaadenosine (10-25 nM) restores let-7 miRNA biogenesis commensurate with a reduction in ADAR1 expression, RNA editing activity and LIN28B expression in JAK2/BCR-ABL1 transduced progenitors after two weeks in stromal co-culture[1].
8-Azaadenosine (10, 100 nM) shows no effect on BCR-ABL and JAK2 signaling, as demonstrated by qRT-PCR analysis and p-CRKL and p-STAT5a Western blot analysis[1].
8-Azaadenosine (0.1, 0.5, 1, 2 μM; 5 days) decreases cell viability/proliferation in a dose-dependent manner in TPC1 and Cal62 cells[2].
8-Azaadenosine (1, 2 μM; 16 hours) impedes invasion and migration of TPC1 and Cal62 cells[2].
8-Azaadenosine (1, 2 μM) inhibits the editing activity in TPC1 and Cal62 cells. By contrast, ADAR1 mRNA levels remains stable in both cells lines[2].

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.
