Description

C188-9 (TTI-101) is a STAT3 inhibitor, with a Kd of 4.7 nM. C188-9 inhibits G-CSF-induced STAT3 activation and STAT3-dependent gene expression. C188-9 induces apoptosis in AML cell lines and primary samples and inhibits colony formation by primary AML blasts[1][2][3][4].

IC50 & Target[1]

STAT3

4.7 nM (Kd)

In Vitro

C188-9 is a Stat3 inhibitor, with a Kd of 4.7 nM[1]. The IC50s of C188-9 to inhibit Stat3 activation in AML cell lines are in the range of 4-7 μM, and in primary AML samples the IC50s are in the range of 8-18 μM. For apoptosis studies, AML cell lines and primary samples are treated for 24 hours with C188-9, then apoptotic cells are quantified by FACS analysis for annexin V-labeled cells. The EC50s for apoptosis induction are quite variable, ranging from 6 μM to over 50 μM[2].

In Vivo

Of the approximately 13,528 discernible genes, levels of 37 gene transcripts are altered by C188 (17 down and 20 up-regulated, fdr <0.01, fold change≥1.5), of which 7 are known STAT3 gene targets. In comparison, C188-9 affects a much greater number of genes involved in oncogenesis (384 total, 95 down- and 289 up-regulated), including 76 genes previously reported as regulated by STAT3 (38 down-regulated and 38 up-regulated). Among the 38 genes previously shown to be upregulated by STAT3, 24 (63%) genes are downregulated by C188-9 treatment, as expected. Additionally, 10 more genes downregulated by C188-9 (fdr <0.01, fold change≥1.5) that previously are shown to be upregulated by STAT1. Thus, 40 of 48 (83.3%) genes downregulated by C188-9 previously are shown to be positively regulated by STAT1, including sixteen genes shown to be co-regulated by STAT3 and STAT1. This analysis raises the possibility that the effect of C188-9 on gene transcript levels in HNSCC tumors is mediated by its effects on both STAT3 and STAT1[3].

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 (4.41 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.

Cell Assay
[1]

Cell lines are plated at 2 to 5×105 cells/mL in growth medium and treated with increasing doses of inhibitor for 24 hours. CD34+ AML cells are plated at 1 to 2×105 cells/mL in IMDM with 20% FBS and Pen/Strep, and incubated with C188-9 (0.3 to 100 μM) for 48 hours. Cells are then harvested and labeled. The fraction of spontaneous apoptosis is determined from an untreated sample and then subtracted from the drug-treated samples to yield the percentage of apoptosis attributed to drug treatment[1].

Animal Administration
[3]

Mice[3]
UM-SCC-17B cells (1.5×106) are injected into the tongues of athymic, 8-10 week old, male, nude mice. Once tumors are established, mice (20 total; 10/group) are randomized (average tumor vol ~15-20 mm3) to receive 5 times a week, intraperitoneal injections of either DMSO or C188 (50 mg/kg) or C188-9 (100 mg/kg). Tumor volumes are measured twice weekly. Average tumor volumes 6/πx (long dimension) x (short dimension)2)) are calculated and normalized to the volume at first day of treatment and plotted comparison is done by t test (* p<0.05) [3].

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.
