Apatorsen sodium
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Apatorsen (OGX-427) sodium is a 2'-methoxyethyl-modified antisense oligonucleotide and also a Hsp27 inhibitor. Apatorsen sodium reduces Hsp27 mRNA and protein levels, impairs stress-induced cytoprotective functions, induces cell apoptosis, inhibits tumor growth and prevents metastasis. Apatorsen sodium is applicable to research related to non-small cell lung cancer, castration-resistant prostate cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer and bladder cancer.

Biological Activity
Apatorsen sodium (50 nM; transfected for 2 days, treated with erlotinib for 48 h) synergistically enhances erlotinib-induced cell viability reduction and apoptosis in A549 and HCC827 non-small cell lung cancer cells. Apatorsen sodium (12.5-100 nM (treated with pemetrexed); 50 nM (treated with cisplatin, paclitaxel, gemcitabine); treated for 2 days, co-incubated with chemotherapy drugs for 72 h) synergistically enhances the cell viability reduction and apoptosis-promoting effects of pemetrexed, cisplatin, paclitaxel and gemcitabine in A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells.

Cell Line:A549, HCC827 non-small cell lung cancer cells
-
Concentration:50 nM
-
Incubation Time:2 days (transfection); 48 h (erlotinib co-treatment)
-
Result:Reduced Hsp27 protein expression. Caused greater reduction in cell viability than single-agent treatment when combined with erlotinib. Confirmed a synergistic effect with erlotinib at ED50, ED75, and ED90 for both cell lines. Increased levels of cleaved PARP and cleaved caspase-3 when combined with erlotinib. Increased the subG0 apoptotic cell fraction as measured by flow cytometry when combined with erlotinib.

Cell Line:A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells
-
Concentration:12.5-100 nM (pemetrexed co-treatment); 50 nM (cisplatin, paclitaxel, gemcitabine co-treatment)
-
Incubation Time:2 days (OGX-427 treatment); 72 h (chemotherapeutic co-incubation)
-
Result:Reduced cell viability more than single-agent treatment when combined with pemetrexed. Confirmed synergistic effects with pemetrexed at ED50, ED75, and ED90. Enhanced the cell viability-reducing effects of cisplatin, paclitaxel, and gemcitabine compared to single-agent treatment. Increased levels of cleaved PARP when combined with pemetrexed, cisplatin, paclitaxel, or gemcitabine.

Animal Model:athymic nude mice (6-8-week-old male; non-small cell lung cancer xenograft model with A549 cells)[1]
-
Dosage:15 mg/kg
-
Administration:i.p.; once daily for 7 days, then three times per week; 7 weeks
-
Result:Reduced tumor Hsp27 protein levels.
Significantly reduced A549 xenograft growth rates when combined with erlotinib compared to scrambled control plus diluent, scrambled control plus erlotinib, and OGX-427 plus diluent.
Increased average number of TUNEL-positive apoptotic cells when combined with erlotinib compared to control groups.
