9-Hydroxycanthin-6-one

9-Hydroxycanthin-6-one is a β-carboline alkaloid. 9-Hydroxycanthin-6-one can be isolated from the roots of E. longifolia. 9-Hydroxycanthin-6-one inhibits TNF-α-induced activation of the NF-κB pathway. 9-Hydroxycanthin-6-one activates GSK3β independently of CK1α, drives phosphorylation and degradation of β-catenin, and inhibits the Wnt signaling pathway. 9-Hydroxycanthin-6-one exerts selective cytotoxicity against Wnt-dependent colon cancer cells. 9-Hydroxycanthin-6-one can be used in studies related to colon cancer.

In Vitro

9-Hydroxycanthin-6-one (3.8-30 μM; 30 min pretreatment, 4 h TNF-α stimulation) potently inhibits TNF-α-induced NF-κB activation in HEK-293/NF-κB-luc cells with an IC₅₀ of 3.8 μM, and exhibits no cytotoxicity at 30 μM^[1].
9-Hydroxycanthin-6-one (5-20 μM; 24 h) potently and selectively inhibits TCF/β-catenin transcriptional activity in STF/293 cells with an IC₅₀ of 6.8 μM, while preserving high cell viability^[2].
9-Hydroxycanthin-6-one (24 h) selectively inhibits the viability of Wnt-dependent human colon cancer cells (SW480, HCT116) with IC₅₀ values of 17.4 μM and 30.0 μM, respectively, while sparing Wnt-independent and noncancer cell lines^[2].
9-Hydroxycanthin-6-one (10-30 μM; 24 h) dose-dependently reduces total β-catenin levels (in whole cell, cytosolic, and nuclear fractions) and increases β-catenin phosphorylation at GSK3β target sites (Ser33/Ser37/Thr41) in SW480 cells, without altering CK1α-mediated β-catenin phosphorylation or total GSK3β/CK1α levels^[2].
9-Hydroxycanthin-6-one (30 μM; 24 h post-siRNA transfection) inhibits Wnt signaling in SW480 cells through GSK3β activation independent of CK1α, as it reduces β-catenin and increases GSK3β-mediated β-catenin phosphorylation even when CK1α is knocked down^[2].

In Vivo

9-Hydroxycanthin-6-one (100-300 μM; immersion in E3 medium; 4-30 hpf) inhibits Wnt signaling in zebrafish embryos, reduces Wnt target gene expression and pigment cell differentiation, and rescues BIO-induced eyeless phenotype, confirming its in vivo activity via GSK3β activation^[2].

Animal Model:

TOPdGFP transgenic strain; wild-type AB strain (embryos)^[2]

Administration:

immersion in E3 medium; 10 hpf to 24 hpf (TOPdGFP activity); immersion in E3 medium; 4 hpf to 24 hpf (Wnt target gene expression); immersion in E3 medium; 4 hpf to 30 hpf (pigment cell assessment); immersion in E3 medium; 4 hpf to 30 hpf, co-administered with 0.5 μM BIO (eyeless phenotype rescue)
Result:

Reduced TOPdGFP activity in the midbrain tectum of 24 hpf embryos without inducing excess cell death (control MO group: 100% activity, n=10; p53 MO group: 100% activity, n=10).
Reduced zic2a expression in the midbrain tectum of 24 hpf embryos (control MO group: 55% expression, n=6; p53 MO group: 54% expression, n=7).
Reduced mitf expression in neural-crest cells of 24 hpf embryos (control MO group: 50% expression, n=7; p53 MO group: 60% expression, n=9).
Reduced the number of pigment cells in the tails of 30 hpf embryos (100% reduction, n=10).
Rescued the eyeless phenotype induced by 0.5 μM BIO in 30 hpf embryos, with 46% showing fully rescued eyes (n=6) and 54% showing slightly rescued eyes (n=7).

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
