In Vitro

Centrinone (LCR-263) exhibits more than 1000-fold selectivity for Plk4 over Aurora A/B and does not affect cellular Aurora A or B substrate phosphorylation at concentrations that deplete centrosomes. Centrinone (LCR-263) treatment of HeLa human cervical carcinoma cells leads to a progressive reduction in foci containing centriolar and pericentriolar material markers at each round of cell division, until most cells lack centrioles and centrosomes. Treatment with Centrinone (LCR-263) reduces centriole number in multiciliated Xenopus epithelial cells, which indicates that Plk4 also controls centriole amplification in differentiated cells. Centrinone (LCR-263) treatment causes centrosome depletion in human and other vertebrate cells. Centrosome loss irreversibly arrests normal cells in a senescence-like G1 state by a p53-dependent mechanism that is independent of DNA damage, stress, Hippo signaling, extends mitotic duration, or segregation errors^[1].

Stock Solution Working Solution

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: ≥ 5 mg/mL (7.89 mM); Clear solution

This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 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.

Protocol 2

Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% Corn Oil

Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (7.89 mM); Clear solution

This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Protocol

Kinase Assay^[1]

Purified 6xHis-tagged human Plk4 kinase domain is in 20 mM Tris pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol, 1 mM DTT. 2X reaction buffer consists of 50 mM HEPES pH 8.5, 20 mM MgCl₂, 1 mM DTT, 0.2 mg/mL BSA, 16 μM ATP, and 200 μM A-A11 substrate. The Plk4 concentration in the final reaction is 2.5-10 nM with a final pH of 8.0. Inhibitors (Centrinone) array in dose response are added from DMSO stocks. Reactions are allowed to proceed for 4-16 hours at 25°C. Detection is performed using ADP-Glo reagent. Luminescence is measured on an plate reader^[1].

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

Cell Assay^[1]

For each condition, cells are seeded in triplicate into 6-well plates at 50,000 cells/well. 125 nM Centrinone (LCR-263) is added to HeLa cells or 300 nM is added to NIH/3T3 cells. At 24-hour intervals, 3 wells are harvested per condition. Cell counting is performed using a TC10 automated cell counter^[1].

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.
