In Vitro

Echinomycin (0-10 nM; 16 hours; U251 cells) treatment significantly inhibits hypoxia-induced VEGF mRNA expression in a dose-dependent fashion. Echinomycin very potently inhibits hypoxic induction of luciferase expression in U251-HRE in a dose-dependent fashion with an EC50 of 1.2 nM[1].

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

RT-PCR[1]

Cell Line: U251 cells
Concentration: 0 nM, 0.625 nM, 1.25 nM, 5 nM, 10 nM
Incubation Time: 16 hours
Result: Significantly inhibited VEGF mRNA expression induced by hypoxia in a dose-dependent fashion.
In Vivo

Echinomycin (10 μg/kg; intravenous injection; for 40 days; NOD-SCID mice) treatment efficiently eradicates mouse lymphoma and serially transplantable human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in xenogeneic model by preferential elimination of cancer stem cells (CSCs). HIF1α maintains mouse lymphoma CSCs by repressing a negative feedback loop in the Notch pathway[2].

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

Animal Model: NOD-SCID mice received 1.8Gy of irradiation and i.v. injection with peripheral blood cells from patients AML-71 and AML-150[2]
Dosage: 10 μg/kg
Administration: Intravenous injection; for 40 days
Result: Efficiently eradicated mouse lymphoma and serially transplantable human AML in xenogeneic model by preferential elimination of CSCs.

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.
