Peptide R54
Peptide R54 (Pep R54) is a CXCR4 antagonist. Peptide R54 inhibits CXCL12-dependent activation of pERK1/2 and pAKT. The combination of Peptide R54 and Nivolumab (HY-P9903) suppresses melanoma growth. Peptide R54 (acetate) is applicable to research related to melanoma and ovarian cancer.

In Vitro
Peptide R54 (100 nM; 16 h) significantly inhibits CXCR4-dependent migration toward CXCL12 and CXCL11 in CAOV3, OVCAR8 and IGROV1 ovarian cancer cells[2].
Peptide R54 (100 nM; 24 h) inhibits CXCR4-mediated mesenchymal transition by restoring the expression levels of EMT markers in CAOV3, OVCAR8 and IGROV1 ovarian cancer cells[2].
Peptide R54 (100 nM; 10 min) inhibits CXCR4 downstream signaling pathways by reversing CXCL12-induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2, AKT and p38, as well as reversing the upregulation of RAC1 in CAOV3, OVCAR8 and IGROV1 ovarian cancer cells[2].
Peptide R54 (100 nM; 24-72 h) attenuates CXCL12-induced proliferation and sensitizes CAOV3, OVCAR8 and IGROV1 ovarian cancer cells to cisplatin and paclitaxel[2].

-
Cell Line:human ovarian cancer CAOV3, OVCAR8, and IGROV1 cells
-
Concentration:100 nM
-
Incubation Time:16 h
-
Result:Reduced the CXCL12-mediated migration index by 2.5-fold in CAOV3 (p<0.01), 2.1-fold in OVCAR8 (p<0.001), and 3-fold in IGROV1 (p<0.01) compared to CXCL12-only treatment.
Reduced the CXCL11-mediated migration index by 3-fold in IGROV1 (p<0.01) and 2-fold in OVCAR8 (p<0.001) compared to CXCL11-only treatment.
Had no impact on migration in CXCR4-knockout IGROV1 cells.

-
Concentration:100 nM
-
Incubation Time:10 min
-
Result:Reversed CXCL12-induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and AKT in CAOV3 and OVCAR8; reversed only CXCL12-induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation in IGROV1.
Reversed CXCL12-induced p38 phosphorylation only in OVCAR8.
Reversed CXCL12-induced RAC1 upregulation mainly in IGROV1.

Cell Line:human ovarian cancer CAOV3, OVCAR8, and IGROV1 cells
-
Concentration:100 nM
-
Incubation Time:24 h, 48 h, 72 h
-
Result:Impaired CXCL12-induced proliferation in all three cell lines.
Reversed CXCL12-induced resistance to cisplatin and paclitaxel, potentiating the growth-inhibiting effects of the chemotherapeutic agents, particularly in OVCAR8 and IGROV1 treated with paclitaxel.
