Description

ERX-208 is an anticancer agent that induces endoplasmic reticulum stress by targeting lysosomal acid lipase A (LIPA), ultimately leading to cancer cell apoptosis. ERX-208 can be used in ovarian cancer research[1].

In Vitro

ERX-208 (6 days) potently reduces cell viability across all five subtypes of ovarian cancer cells with an IC50 of ~100 nM and shows minimal cytotoxicity toward normal ovarian surface epithelial cells[1].
ERX-208 significantly impairs the long-term proliferative potential of ovarian cancer cells as measured by colony formation assays[1].
ERX-208 (500 nM) induces caspase-dependent apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells, with no evidence of ferroptosis or necroptosis induction[1].
ERX-208 (1 μM; 0-48 h) robustly activates the endoplasmic reticulum stress response in diverse ovarian cancer models at the transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and ultrastructural levels[1].
ERX-208 (1 μM; 0-16 h) -mediated endoplasmic reticulum stress response and cytotoxicity in SKOV3 ovarian cancer cells are dependent on LIPA expression[1].
ERX-208 (22 h) potently suppresses the invasive capacity of ascites-derived ovarian cancer cells[1].

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: Parental SKOV3, SKOV3 LIPA-knockout (LIPA-KO)
Concentration: 1 μM (RT-PCR/RT-qPCR); range of concentrations (cell viability assay)
Incubation Time: 0, 8, 16 h (RT-PCR/RT-qPCR); unspecified (cell viability assay)
Result: Reduced cell viability and robustly induced XBP1 splicing, sXBP1 mRNA, and CHOP mRNA expression in parental SKOV3 cells following treatment.
Displayed markedly reduced sensitivity in SKOV3 LIPA-KO cells, with no significant induction of XBP1 splicing, sXBP1 mRNA, or CHOP mRNA expression.
In Vivo

ERX-208 (10 mg/kg; i.p.; 5 days per week for 15 consecutive days) reduces the ovarian cancer tumor burden by approximately 60% in orthotopic SCID mouse xenograft models, while also decreasing tumor weight and reducing the number of metastatic nodules, with no obvious systemic toxicity[1].
ERX-208 (2.5-10 mg/kg; i.p.; once every three days; for a total of 11 days) dose-dependently inhibits the growth of OCa30 PDX tumors in SCID mice; among all groups, the 10 mg/kg group shows the greatest reduction in tumor weight, the most significant downregulation of Ki67 expression, and the most prominent upregulation of GRP78 expression, with no obvious systemic toxicity observed[1].
ERX-208 (10 mg/kg; i.p.; once every three days; for 21 consecutive days) significantly inhibits the growth of OCa14 PDX tumors in SCID mice and reduces the final tumor weight, while downregulating the expression of Ki67 and upregulating the expression of GRP78 in tumor tissues, with no obvious systemic toxicity[1].
ERX-208 (10 mg/kg; i.p.; once every three days; for a total of 39 days) significantly inhibits the growth of OCa10 PDX tumors in SCID mice and reduces the final tumor weight, while downregulating Ki67 expression, upregulating GRP78 expression and activating the endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway, with no obvious systemic toxicity[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.
