Purified 19S proteasomes (5 nM) are treated with indicated concentrations of b-AP15 and DUB activity is determined by detectionof Ub-AMC cleavage. The IC50 value (2.1±0.411 μM) is determined from log concentration curves in Graph Pad Prism using non linear regression analysis. b-AP15 as a previously unidentified class of proteasome inhibitor that abrogates the deubiquitinating activity of the 19S regulatory particle. b-AP15 inhibited the activity of two 19S regulatory-particle-associated deubiquitinases, ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase 5 (UCHL5) and ubiquitin-specific peptidase 14 (USP14), resulting in accumulation of polyubiquitin. b-AP15 induced tumor cell apoptosis that is insensitive to TP53 status and overexpression of the apoptosis inhibitor BCL2[1]. The ability of b-AP15 is determined to inhibit proteasome deubiquitinase activity using Ub-AMC as the substrate. An IC50 of 16.8±2.8 μM is observed[2]. b-AP15 is a specific USP14 and UCHL5 inhibitor, which blocks growth and induces apoptosis in MM cells[3].

Protocole
For deubiquitinase inhibition assays, 19S regulatory particle (5 nM), 26S (5 nM) UCH-L1 (5 nM), UCH-L3 (0.3 nM), USP2CD (5 nM) USP7CD (5 nM) USP8CD (5 nM) or BAP1 (5 nM) is incubated with DMSO or b-AP15 and monitored the cleavage of ubiquitin-AMC (1,000 nM) using a Wallac VICTOR Multilabel counter or a Tecan Infinite M1000 equipped with 380 nm excitation and 460 nm emission filters[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Cell viability is monitored by either the fluorometric microculture cytotoxicity assay or the MTT assay. For the MTT assay, cells are seeded into 96-well flat-bottomed plates overnight and exposed to drugs, using DMSO as the control. At the end of incubations, 10 µl of a stock solution of 5 mg/mL MTT is added into each well, and the plates are incubated 4 hours at 37°C. Formazan crystals are dissolved with 100 µL 10% SDS/10 mM HCl solution overnight at 37°C. Absorbance is measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) plate reader at 590 nm[2].

Mice[1]
For the squamous carcinoma model, 1×106 FaDu cells are subcutaneously injected into the right rear flank of female SCID mice. Tumor growth is measured by the formula length×width2×0.44. When tumors have grown to a size of approximately 200 mm3 (defined as day 0), mice are randomized to receive either vehicle (n=10) or b-AP15 (n=15) at 5 mg per kg of body weight by daily subcutaneous injection. For the colon carcinoma model, we subcutaneously injected 2.5×106 HCT-116 colon carcinoma cells overexpressing Bcl2 into the right flank of female nude mice. We treated mice with 5 mg of b-AP15 per kg of body weight by intraperitoneal injection. For the lung carcinoma model, we subcutaneously injected 2×105 LLC cells into the right rear flank of female C57/B6 mice. When tumors had grown to a size of approximately 50 mm3 (defined as day 0), we randomized mice to receive either vehicle (n=4) or b-AP15 (n=4) at 5 mg per kg of body weight intraperitoneally, with a treatment cycle consisting of 2 d of treatment followed by 2 d of rest (2 d on, 2 d off) for 2 weeks.
