JIB-04 is consistently selective for cancer vs. normal cells, demonstrated by the higher sensitivity of lung and prostate cancer lines (with IC50 as low as 10 nM) compared to HBECs and PrSCs/PrECs. JIB-04 inhibits cellular Jumonji demethylase activity, and Jumonji levels affect JIB-04 action in cells[1]. JIB-04 significantly inhibits the proliferation of GB cell lines and stem-enriched cultures. JIB-04 exerts its maximal inhibitory activity against KDM5A, and modulates the expression of genes involved in the control of cancer cell growth and leads to hypermethylation of H3K4. Furthermore, JIB-04 (2500 nM) activates the autophagy and apoptotic pathways and inactivates PI3K. JIB-04 also cooperates with TMZ in killing GB cells[2].

Protocol
For cell viability assays, cells are plated at 1500-3000 cells/well in 96 well plates and treated the next day with increasing doses of compound over 4 days and their viability assessed by standard MTS assays using Promega’s Cell Titer or Cell Titer-Glo reagents. Absorbance at 490 nm and 650 nm or luminescence is measured by a Spectra Max or a FlouroStar Omega plate reader. Data are normalized to the untreated controls (100% viability). Each cell line is tested in 2-5 independent assays, each containing 4-8 replicates. IC50 values are calculated using DIVISA, a high-throughput software, developed in house, for storing and analyzing drug sensitivity assays. Dose-response curves are plotted using a non-linear regression model and IC50s are determined from the fitted curves. The average IC50 derived from 2-5 independent assays, each containing 4-8 replicates is reported.
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
For xenografts, 4-6 week old female nude mice are housed under standard conditions in a clean facility at UTSW. Two million H358 cells or five million A549 cells are injected subcutaneously and allowed to grow for 2-3 weeks with monitoring. When tumors reach appr 200 mm3, therapy is started in weight and tumor volume matched pairs (n=7 for each treatment group for each cell line). Drug or vehicle is administered by inter-peritoneal injection in 10% DMSO 90% sesame oil 2 to 3 times weekly for 5 weeks at 110 mg/kg to all mice harboring H358 xenografts or 3 times per week by gavage in 12.5% Cremophor EL, 12.5% DMSO as an aqueous suspension at 55 mg/kg to mice harboring A549 xenografts. Tumor volumes are monitored twice weekly by caliper measurements. Animals are weighed and observed during the five weeks of treatment. At the end point, mice are euthanized by CO2 asphyxiation and cervical dislocation, and blood, tumors and major organs collected and weighed. Paired, unequal variance, one-tailed t-tests are performed across treatment groups using Excel software.
