    Description

    Pyrvinium pamoate is an FDA-approved antihelmintic agent that inhibits WNT pathway signaling.

    In Vitro

    Pyrvinium pamoate (0-500 nM) inhibits proliferation of MCF-7 (luminal), MDA-MB-231 (claudin-low), MDA-MB-468 (basal-like) and SkBr3 (HER2-OE) cells in a dose-dependent manner, with IC50 value of 1170±105.0 nM against MDA-MB-231 cell line. Pyrvinium pamoate significantly inhibits self-renewal and proliferation of BCSCs, and suppresses BCSC population with a distinct phenotype. Pyrvinium pamoate significantly decreases average expression levels of FZD1, FZD10, WNT1, WNT7B, CTNNB1, MYC, and LRP5 at transcriptional level. Moreover, Pyrvinium pamoate also efficiently down-regulates the expression of other stemness genes including ALDH1, CD44 and ABCG2[1]. Pyrvinium pamoate blocks colon cancer cell growth in vitro in a dose-dependent manner with great differences in the inhibitory concentration (IC50), ranging from 0.6 to 65 μM for colon cancer cells with mutations in WNT signaling. Pyrvinium pamoate decreases messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein levels of known WNT target genes as c-MYC and thereby led to the induction of p21[2]. Pyrvinium pamoate ultimately inhibits Wnt signalling despite its lack of efficacy on CK1[3]. Pyrvinium pamoate imposes specific toxicity on cardiac fibroblasts in ischemia (IC50=9.5 nM). The cytotoxic effect of Pyrvinium pamoate on cardiac fibroblasts specifically under glucose- and glutamine-deficient condition[4].

    In Vivo

    In the xenograft model, Pyrvinium pamoate (500 nM)-pretreatment strongly delays tumor size and tumor weight, and the tumor volume is markedly decreased[1].

    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: ≥ 1.67 mg/mL (2.90 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.67 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (16.7 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.
    • Protocol 2

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: 1.67 mg/mL (2.90 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

      This protocol yields a suspended solution of 1.67 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (16.7 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

      Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

    Cell Assay
    [1]

    Pyrvinium pamoate is dissolved in DMSO at a concentration of 1 μM and is stocked in aliquots at -20°C. Cells (1×104) are suspended in 200 μL culture medium and then seeded into 96-well plates in quintuplicate overnight. Cells are treated with indicated concentrations of Pyrvinium pamoate (0-8,000 μM). After incubating for 3 days, CCK8 (10 μL) is added into each well and incubated at 37°C for 1 h. The absorbance is measured using a microplate reader at 450 nm[1].

    Animal Administration
    [1]

    Mice: NOD/SCID mice are housed under aseptic conditions in individually ventilated cages. For xenografting, 5×106 Pyrvinium pamoate-pretreated or untreated breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231) are resuspended in a 1:1 mixture of culture medium and Matrigel and then transplanted into the fourth pair of mammary fat pads of mice (4-6-week-old). After injection, tumor size is measured by calipers each day and tumor growth is plotted. Upon reaching the endpoint, mice are sacrificed and tumors are harvested. All the tumors are formalin-fixed, and paraffin-embedded for hematoxylin and eosin and immunohistochemical staining[1].

    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.
