    In Vitro

    Treatment of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) with Sotuletinib inhibits CSF-1-dependent proliferation (EC50=67 nM), and decreases CSF-1R phosphorylation, similar to CSF-1R antibody blockade. Sotuletinib also reduces viability of CRL-2467 microglia, Ink4a/Arf / BMDMs (PDG genetic background), and NOD/SCID BMDMs. Importantly, Sotuletinib treatment in culture does not affect proliferation of any PDG-derived tumor cell lines (all Csf-1r-negative), or U-87 MG human glioma cells, and PDG cell tumor sphere formation is unaffected. Thus, Sotuletinib has no direct effects on glioma cells, and perturbs macrophage survival through CSF-1R inhibition[1].

    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

    Cell Assay
    [1]

    Cell growth rate is determined using the MTT cell proliferation kit. Briefly, cells are plated in triplicate in 96-well plates: 1×103 cells per well for glioma cell lines, 5×103 cells per well for BMDM and CRL-2467, and 2.5×103 cells per well for HUVEC and HBMEC cell lines. For all experiments, media is changed every 48 h. Cells are grown in the presence or absence of 6.7-6,700 nM of Sotuletinib, or 8 μg/mL of CSF-1R neutralizing antibody. To test the sensitivity to PDGFR inhibition, PDGC lines are cultured in the presence of 10,000 nM STI571 or 10,000 nM PTK787 (diluted from 10 mM stock solutions in DMSO). HUVEC and HBMEC cells are supplemented with ECGF supplied by the manufacturer unless otherwise indicated. Reduction of the MTT substrate is detected by colorimetric analysis using a plate reader as per the manufacturer’s protocol. 10 μL of MTT labeling reagent is added to each well and then incubated for 4 h at 37°C, followed by the addition of 100 μL MTT solubilization reagent overnight. The mixture is gently resuspended and absorbance is measured at 595 nm and 750 nm on a spectraMax 340pc plate reader[1].

    Animal Administration
    [2]

    Mice[2]
    Tumors are measured using calipers and volumes calculated based on the formula: volume=(width)2×length/2. In MMTV-PyMT mouse studies, 56-63 d old female mice are randomized into groups based on tumor volumes and dosed with either 20% Captisol vehicle or 200 mg/kg Sotuletinib. Dosing is administered by oral gavage once daily and tumor volumes are measured twice weekly. 5A1 rat anti-mouse CSF1 neutralizing antibody or rat IgG control is dosed at 10 mg/kg by intraperitoneal injection every 5 d. To calculate pulmonary metastasis in MMTV-PyMT transgenic mice, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded lungs are serially sectioned and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Tumor regions are scored by tumor burden (total tumor area divided by total lung area), size (tumor diameter), and according to the total number of individual metastases counted in a single-blind fashion. These values are averaged across the entire depth of the lung to obtain the final value.

    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.
