    Description

    Rapamycin (Sirolimus; AY 22989) is a potent and specific mTOR inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.1 nM in HEK293 cells. Rapamycin binds to FKBP12 and specifically acts as an allosteric inhibitor of mTORC1[1]. Rapamycin is an autophagy activator, an immunosuppressant[2].

    In Vitro

    Rapamycin (12.5-100 nM; 24 hours) treatment exerts modest inhibitory effect on lung cancer cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner in all cell lines (A549, SPC-A-1, 95D and NCI-H446 cells) tested, achieving about 30-40% reduction in cell proliferation at 100 nM vs. ~10% reduction at 12.5 nM[3].
    Lung cancer cell line 95D cells are exposed to Rapamycin (10 nM, 20 nM) and RP-56976 (1 nM, 10 nM) alone or in combination (Rapamycin 20 nM+ RP-56976 10 nM). After 24 hours exposure to Rapamycin or RP-56976 alone does not significantly alter the level of expression or phosphorylation of ERK1/2, whereas cells treated with the combination of Rapamycin with RP-56976 exhibit a marked reduction in the phosphorylation levels of ERK1/2[3].

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

    Cell Line: Lung cancer cell lines A549, SPC-A-1, 95D and NCI-H446
    Concentration: 12.5 nM, 25 nM, 50 nM, 100 nM
    Incubation Time: 24 hours
    Result: Treatment exerted modest inhibitory effect on lung cancer cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner in all cell lines.

    Western Blot Analysis[3]

    Cell Line: 95D cells
    Concentration: 10 nM and 20 nM
    Incubation Time: 24 hours
    Result: Combination treatment with RP-56976 decreased phosphorylation of ERK.
    In Vivo

    Rapamycin (2.0 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; every other day; 28 days) alone has a moderate inhibitory effect. However, the combination of Metformin and Rapamycin exerts a significantly increased inhibition of tumor growth compared with the control group, the Rapamycin monotherapy group and the Metformin monotherapy group[4].

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

    Animal Model: 24 male nu/nu mice aged 4-5 week old (15-20 g)[4]
    Dosage: 2.0 mg/kg
    Administration: Intraperitoneal injection; every other day; 28 days
    Result: Had a moderate inhibitory effect in monotherapy group. The combination with Metformin exerted a significantly increased inhibition of tumor growth.

    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.
