IC50 & Target
[1]|
MMP 20 μM (IC50) |
In Vitro
The hydroxamate-based metalloprotease inhibitor TAPI-2 bounds to hmeprin with inhibition constants IC50 20±10 μM for hmeprin β subunit and 1.5±0.27 nM for hmeprin α subunit. Generally, hmeprin α is inhibited more strongly than the β subunit[1]. Without affecting ADAM17 expression, TAPI-2 dramatically decreases the protein levels of NICD and its downstream target HES-1 in both HCP-1 and HT29 cells. Moreover, treating cells with TAPI-2 significantly decreases the CSC phenotype by -50% in both CRC cell lines. The dose-dependent effects of TAPI-2 on the sphere formation and protein levels of NICD and HES-1 confirm that the concentration used (20 μM) is within the effective dose range of TAPI-2 (5-40 μM)[3].

Protocols

Mitochondrial membrane-potential fluorescent assay
Mitochondrial membrane potential fluorescent assays estimate ΔΨm in living cells using lipophilic cationic dyes such as TMRM, TMRE, rhodamine 123, and JC-1, which accumulate in mitochondria according to membrane polarization; loss of signal after FCCP or CCCP treatment is interpreted as mitochondrial depolarization. TMRM/TMRE and rhodamine 123 are commonly used for semi-quantitative live-cell microscopy or flow cytometry, while JC-1 can report a shift from red aggregate fluorescence to green monomer fluorescence during depolarization; interpretation requires controls because dye concentration, quenching mode, cell type, dye efflux, and mitochondrial mass can affect fluorescence independently of ΔΨm.

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay
Cytotoxicity assays are usually based on the assessment of cell membrane damage, which can also be indirectly detected by measuring cell viability. Detection methods include MTT assay, CKK-8 assay, LDH assay and ATP assay, etc.

Mitochondrial membrane-potential and mitochondrial mass staining
Mitochondrial membrane potential staining measures the electrochemical polarization across the mitochondrial inner membrane in live cells using lipophilic cationic fluorescent probes; early rhodamine-based work showed that selective mitochondrial dye accumulation is lost when the mitochondrial transmembrane potential is dissipated. JC-1 reports mitochondrial polarization by shifting from green monomer fluorescence to red J-aggregate fluorescence as dye concentration increases within energized mitochondria; therefore, the red/green fluorescence ratio is used as a relative readout of mitochondrial membrane potential. TMRE or TMRM staining provides a single-channel relative readout because these cationic rhodamine esters accumulate in polarized mitochondria, and lower fluorescence indicates reduced mitochondrial polarization when acquisition and dye-loading conditions are controlled. Mitochondrial mass staining is commonly performed with MitoTracker Green FM or related MitoTracker dyes as
