In Vitro
Cell proliferation assay reveals that at least a ten-fold lower concentration of ONC212 is needed to achieve 50% growth inhibition in comparison to ONC201. ONC212 shows GI50 values in the range of 0.1 to 0.4 μM, while the corresponding ONC201 GI50 values are in the range of 4 to 9 μM for the seven pancreatic cancer cell lines tested. Long-term cell proliferation assay shows that both ONC201 and ONC212 are comparable in inhibiting colony formation at a 20 μM dose. However, at a 5 μM dose, ONC212 is about 50-times more potent than ONC201 in preventing colony formation in four out of the seven pancreatic cancer cell lines tested. Induction of apoptosis by ONC212 is an earlier event than ONC201. Treatment with ONC201 and ONC212 reduces the expression of anti-apoptotic markers such as XIAP and MCL-1. Western blot analysis shows that in the HPAF-II cell line, ATF4 and phosphorylated EIF2α are upregulated as early as 6 to 12 hours post ONC201 or ONC212 treatment[2].

In Vivo
ONC212 treatment exhibits significantly greater growth inhibition in comparison to ONC201. A dose of 50 mg/kg of ONC212 administered three-times a week is sufficient to lead to significant growth inhibition of tumors compare to the control group for these two models. Results demonstrate that ONC212 treated tumors show reduced proliferation in the HPAF-II model[2].
In vivo toxicity assessment experiments show that ONC212 is well tolerated up to 250 mg/kg. 300 mg/kg of ONC212 causes splenic damage and elevates liver enzymes. ONC212 has a slightly shorter half-life than ONC201, with a clearance from the blood at 12 hours, T1/2 of 4.3 hours, and Cmax of 1.4 μg/mL[3].

Protocols

Apoptosis
Apoptosis, also called programmed cell death, is generally characterized by distinct morphological characteristics.
-
TUNEL staining for apoptotic DNA fragmentation
TUNEL staining detects DNA strand breaks by using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase to add labeled nucleotides to exposed 3′-OH DNA termini, generating either microscopic staining in fixed cells or tissue sections, or fluorescence/cytometric signal in cell suspensions. TUNEL positivity reflects DNA fragmentation but should not be interpreted alone as definitive apoptosis, because TUNEL can also label necrotic, autolytic, mechanically damaged, or DNA-repair-associated DNA breaks.
-
Annexin V plus membrane-impermeant dye apoptosis staining
Annexin V-based apoptosis assays rely on the detection of phosphatidylserine (PS) externalization from the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane to the outer leaflet, an early biochemical hallmark of apoptosis. Fluorescently labeled Annexin V binds PS in a calcium-dependent manner, enabling identification of early apoptotic cells by flow cytometry or fluorescence microscopy. When combined with a membrane-impermeant DNA-binding dye (e. g. , propidium iodide), this approach allows discrimination between viable (Annexin V−/dye−), early apoptotic (Annexin V+/dye−), and late apoptotic or necrotic (Annexin V+/dye+) cell populations by assessing membrane integrity and PS exposure.

Apoptosis Solutions
Apoptosis is a regulated, generally non-lytic cell-death pathway that removes unwanted, damaged, infected, or abnormal cells through coordinated morphological changes, caspase activation, DNA fragmentation, and membrane remodeling. The intrinsic apoptosis pathway is controlled mainly by mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization, BCL-2 family proteins, cytochrome c release, apoptosome formation, caspase-9 activation, and downstream executioner caspase-3/7 activation. The extrinsic apoptosis pathway is initiated by death receptors such as Fas, TNFR, and TRAIL receptors, which recruit adaptor proteins and activate caspase-8 before engaging executioner caspases or mitochondrial amplification through BID cleavage. Apoptosis is linked to many phenotypes, including cancer cell killing, tissue homeostasis, immune regulation, neurodegeneration, infection response, and treatment-induced cytotoxicity; unresolved questions include how apoptosis interacts with necroptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptos
