    FTY720+Tamoxifen and FTY720+Carboplatin increase apoptosis marker, cleaved caspase 3 in a PDX model of EOC. IHC of tumor sections is used to detect the apoptosis marker cleaved caspase 3 and the cell cycle inhibitor p21.

    Carboplatin purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Genome Med. 2016 Oct 31;8(1):116.  [Abstract]

    Phosphorylation level of RPS6 upon Temsirolimus treatment. The effective target engagement is confirmed in Temsirolimus-treated tumors by showing reduced phosphorylation of downstream mTOR targets, RPS6 and 4EBP1, and an associated increase in autophagy (LC3A/B).

    Description

    IC50 & Target

    DNA Alkylator[1]

    In Vitro

    Carboplatin is an antitumor agent, with an increased DNA-binding activity in the presence of nucleophiles and human breast cancer MCF-7 cell cytoplasmic extracts[1].
    Carboplatin is less cytotoxic to human ovarian cells such as A2780, SKOV3, IGROV1 and HX62 than 17-AAG, with IC50s of 6.177, 12.442, 2.233 and 116.068 μM, respectively. Moreover, Carboplatin does not affect HSP90 or change the activity of 17-AAG to inhibit HSP90[2].
    Carboplatin reduces the viability of Brca1 (IC50, 3.4 μM) and Brca2 cells (IC50, 1.9 μM). Carboplatin (25 μM) combined with ABT-888 also shows an apoptotic effect in BRCA1 cells[3].

    MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    In Vivo

    Carboplatin (60 mg/kg, i.p.) shows a modest effect on the tumor, but significantly inhibits tumor growth in combination with 17-AAG in mice bearing A2780 human ovarian cancer xenografts[2].
    Carboplatin (25 mg/kg, p.o.) combined with ABT-888 delays tumor growth in Brca2 xenografts[3].

    Cell Assay
    [2]

    Exponentially growing A2780 cells are plated in 96 well microtitre plates. For experiments studying the effect of sequence of exposure to 17-AAG or Carboplatin, cells are exposed to increasing concentrations of 17-AAG or Carboplatin for 24 h. A period of 24-h exposure to the first agent is chosen so that the A2780 cells will be exposed to the first drug for at least one doubling time (18-24 h). The cells are then washed with sterile phosphate buffered saline and the medium is replenished. Following this, the second drug (to which the cells are not exposed to in the first 24 h) or medium is added for 96 h. SRB assays are carried out. All experiments are carried out in triplicate[2].

    Animal Administration
    [2]

    Mice[2]
    The A2780 human ovarian cancer cell line is grown as a subcutaneous xenograft in female athymic NCr nude mice (nu/nu) by injecting 4 × 106 cells in each flank. Mice with established tumors corresponding to a mean volume of 0.69 mm3 are randomized into groups (six animals each) for treatment with either control vehicle (43% ethanol, 33% polypropylene glycol and 24% cremaphor diluted 1:7 with sterile water) days 1-4, 17-AAG (80 mg/kg intraperitonially, days 1-4), Carboplatin (60 mg/kg IP day 0) or a combination of 17-AAG (80 mg/kg IP days 1-4) and Carboplatin (60 mg/kg IP day 0). Tumor growth is assessed three times weekly and tumor volumes are calculated according to a validated formula: volume = 4.19 × (a/4 + b/4)3, where a is the longer and b the shorter diameter. Tumor volumes are then expressed as a proportion of the volume at the start of treatment (relative tumor volume)[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.
