Description

Gramicidin A is a peptide component of gramicidin, an antibiotic mixture originally isolated from B. brevis. Gramicidin A is a highly hydrophobic channel-forming ionophore that forms channels in model membranes that are permeable to monovalent cations. Gramicidin A induces degradation of hypoxia inducible factor 1 α (HIF-1α)[1][2].

IC50 & Target

HIF-1α[2]
In Vitro

Gramicidin A displays potent broad-spectrum antibiotic activity against Gram-positive strains, even multidrug-resistant strains[1].
Gramicidin A has the disadvantage of high hemolytic activity[1].
Gramicidin A (0.1 nM-10 μM, 72 h) reduces the viability of RCC cell lines and affects cell viability comparable to Monensin (HY-N4302)[2].
Gramicidin A cellular sensitivity is significantly altered by neither VHL nor HIF-1α expression[2].
Gramicidin A (1 and 10 μM, 48 or 72 h) induces nonapoptotic cell death in RCC cells[2].
Gramicidin A (0-10 μM, 24 h) depletes cellular energy and induces metabolic dysfunction in RCC cells[2].
Gramicidin A (0-1 μM, 24-72 h) reduces HIF-1α and HIF-2α protein expression, reduces HIF transcriptional activity and target gene expression (24 h)[3]

Cell Viability Assay[2]

Cell Line: A498, 786-O, Caki-1, SN12C, ACHN, UMRC6, UMRC6+VHL, HEK293T+pcDNA3, HEK293T+HA-HIF-1α, HEK293T+HA-HIF-1α-mut
Concentration: 0.1 nM-10 μM
Incubation Time: 72 h
Result: Reduced the viability with IC50s of 0.420, 0.430, 0.228, 0.104, 0.783, 0.253, 0.425, 0.057, 0.058 and 0.067 μM against A498, 786-O, Caki-1, SN12C, ACHN, UMRC6, UMRC6+VHL, HEK293T+pcDNA3, HEK293T+HA-HIF-1α, HEK293T+HA-HIF-1α-mut cells, respectively.

Western Blot Analysis[2][3]

Cell Line: 786-O, SN12C, Caki-1, ACHN
Concentration: 1 and 10 μM or 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 μM
Incubation Time: 24, 48 or 72 h
Result: PARP cleavage was not detected. Increased the phosphorylation of AMPKα and its substrate ACC at both 24 and 48 hours. Reduced HIF-1α and HIF-2α protein expression. Hypoxic expression of CA-IX, GLUT-1, and GAPDH were all decreased in a dose-dependent manner.

RT-PCR[3]

Cell Line: SN12C, Caki-1, ACHN
Concentration: 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Significantly altered transcript expression for only HIF-2α in SN12C cells.
In Vivo

Gramicidin A (0.11 mg/kg; intratumoral injection; twice weekly for 14 days) inhibits the growth of RCC tumor xenografts[2].
Gramicidin A (0.22 mg/kg; intratumoral injection; thrice weekly for 26 days) inhibits the growth and angiogenesis of VHL-expressing RCC tumor xenografts[3].

Animal Model: Female hairless Nu/J mice, 6- to 8-week old, injected subcutaneously with a suspension of SN12C cells (1.0 × 106) in a 50% growth factor–reduced Matrigel solution[2]
Dosage: 0.11 mg/kg body weight
Administration: Intratumoral injection, twice weekly for 14 days
Result: The average tumor mass was reduced by approximately 40% without significant toxicity.
Animal Model: Female hairless 6- to 8-week-old Nu/J mice, injected subcutaneously with a suspension of Caki-1-td-Tomato cells (1.5 × 106) in a 50% growth factor-reduced Matrigel solution[3].
Dosage: 0.22 mg/kg
Administration: Intratumoral injection, thrice weekly for 26 days
Result: Inhibited tumor growth. HIF-2α and GAPDH protein expression was substantially reduced.

Peptide Solubility and Storage Guidelines:

1.  Calculate the length of the peptide.

2.  Calculate the overall charge of the entire peptide according to the following table:

  Contents Assign value
Acidic amino acid Asp (D), Glu (E), and the C-terminal -COOH. -1
Basic amino acid Arg (R), Lys (K), His (H), and the N-terminal -NH2 +1
Neutral amino acid Gly (G), Ala (A), Leu (L), Ile (I), Val (V), Cys (C), Met (M), Thr (T), Ser (S), Phe (F), Tyr (Y), Trp (W), Pro (P), Asn (N), Gln (Q) 0

3.  Recommended solution:

Overall charge of peptide Details
Negative (<0) 1.  Try to dissolve the peptide in water first.
2.  If water fails, add NH4OH (<50 μL).
3.  If the peptide still does not dissolve, add DMSO (50-100 μL) to solubilize the peptide.
Positive (>0) 1.  Try to dissolve the peptide in water first.
2.  If water fails, try dissolving the peptide in a 10%-30% acetic acid solution.
3.  If the peptide still does not dissolve, try dissolving the peptide in a small amount of DMSO.
Zero (=0) 1.  Try to dissolve the peptide in organic solvent (acetonitrile, methanol, etc.) first.
2.  For very hydrophobic peptides, try dissolving the peptide in a small amount of DMSO, and then dilute the solution with water to the desired concentration.

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.
