NNK is a nicotine-nitrosated derivative. NNK simultaneously stimulates Bcl2 phosphorylation exclusively at Ser70 and c-Myc at Thr58 and Ser62 through activation of both ERK1/2 and PKCα. NNK induces survival and proliferation of human lung cancer cells. NNK can be used for lung cancer mice model structure.

Description

NNK is a nicotine-nitrosated derivative. NNK simultaneously stimulates Bcl2 phosphorylation exclusively at Ser70 and c-Myc at Thr58 and Ser62 through activation of both ERK1/2 and PKCα[1]. NNK induces survival and proliferation of human lung cancer cells. NNK can be used for lung cancer mice model structure[2].

IC50 & Target

ERK1, ERK2, PKCα, Bcl2, c-Myc [1]

In Vitro

NNK (100 pM; 0-60 min) stimulates activation of PKCα and MAPKs ERK1/2 that directly induce c-Myc phosphorylation[1].
NNK (100 pM; 96 hours) enhances proliferation of cells expressing WT but not AA c-Myc mutant[1].

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

Western Blot Analysis

Cell Line: NCI-H82 cells[1]
Concentration: 100 pM
Incubation Time: 0-60 min
Result: Stimulated activation of PKCα and MAPKs ERK1/2 that directly induced c-Myc phosphorylation.

Apoptosis Analysis

Cell Line: H1299 lung cancer cells[1]
Concentration: 100 pM
Incubation Time: 96 hours
Result: Enhanced proliferation of cells expressing WT but not T58A/S62A c-Myc mutant.
In Vivo

NNK can be used in animal modeling to create lung tumor models. NNK is absorbed more rapidly from the duodenum than from the stomach in mice and is metabolized in both tissues. Alpha-carbon hydroxylation, which activates NNK, and pyridine N-oxidation, which inactivates NNK, occur more extensively in the duodenum than in the stomach. The rate of carbonyl reduction of NNK in the duodenum is ten times higher[2][4].

1. Induction of lung tumor[2][4]
Background
NNK can induce gene mutations and chromosome instability, and it can also promote the development of lung cancer by activating the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor/extracellular signal-regulated kinase/protein contact 1 pathway[3].
Specific Mmodeling Methods
Mice: A/J • female • 6-7 weeks old
Administration: 3.1 mg or 9-9.4 mg (62.4 μg/mL) • add to drinking water
Mice: A/J
Administration: 100 mg/kg in 0.1 mL PBS • i.p. • three doses of NNK on three alternate days
Note
(1) Dissolve NNK in tap water with an initial concentration of 62.4 μg/mL, and then adjust for each cage based on water consumption.
(2) After 16 weeks of treatment with the carcinogens, all the mice were dissected, and their lungs and major organs were fixed in Tellyesniczky for 7 days, then the number of surface adenomas was counted under a dissection microscope.
Modeling Indicators
Phenotypic observation: Increased the number of lung tumors in each mouse's body.

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.
