Monomethyl auristatin E
Based on 61 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE; SGD-1010) is a synthetic derivative of dolastatin 10 and functions as a potent mitotic inhibitor by inhibiting tubulin polymerization. MMAE is widely used as a cytotoxic component of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) to treat several different cancer types.

Monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) is efficiently released from SGN-35 within CD30+ cancer cells and, due to its membrane permeability, is able to exert cytotoxic activity on bystander cells[1].
MMAE sensitizes colorectal and pancreatic cancer cells to IR in a schedule and dose dependent manner correlating with mitotic arrest. Radiosensitization is evidenced by decreased clonogenic survival and increased DNA double strand breaks in irradiated cells[2].

Protocol
Monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE, 5 nM) and ionizing radiation (IR) treated cells are harvested and lysed in RIPA buffer with protease and phosphatase inhibitors. Thirty μg of lysate undergo electrophoresis using 4-12% Bis-Tris gels, transferred to PVDF membranes and incubated with indicated primary antibodies. Blots are developed by ECL.
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Mice[2]
6-8 week old female athymic nu/nu mice are injected subcutaneously into thighs with 5×106 HCT-116 or PANC-1 cells in a 1:1 Matrigel and PBS solution. Mice are treated with IR or intravenous (IV) injection of ACPP-cRGD-MMAE (6 nmoles/day, 18 nmoles total, i.v.), tumor tissue is harvested, formalin fixed and paraffin embedded followed by staining with indicated antibodies. The primary antibody is used at a 1:250 dilution and is visualized using DAB as a chromagen with the UltraMap system.
