In Vitro
SM-7368 (5 μM) targets downstream of MAPK p38 activation in the human colon derived crypt like HT-29 and Caco-2 epithelial cell lines[1].
SM-7368 inhibits TNF-α-induced MMP-9 upregulation in a concentration-dependent manner and shows maximal activity at 10 μM. SM-7368 inhibits TNF-α-induced MMP-9 mRNA transcript accumulation and protein expression. SM-7368 strongly inhibits TNF-α-induced NF-κB activity but not AP-1 activity. SM-7368 strongly inhibits the TNF-α-induced invasion of HT1080 human fibrosarcoma cell line[2].
SM-7368 (10-25 μM) greatly inhibits TNF-α (20 ng/mL)-induced MMP-9 upregulation. 10 μM of SM-7368 almost completely abrogates this upregulation[2].

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (6.33 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.

Ex Vivo Tissue Slice/Explant Invasion Assay
Ex vivo organotypic tissue slice cultures are based on maintaining thin, viable tissue sections at an air-liquid interface to preserve native cytoarchitecture and local cell-matrix interactions, enabling observation of cell behavior such as migration and tissue infiltration within a physiologically relevant 3D microenvironment. The method relies on maintaining tissue viability on porous membrane supports, allowing diffusion of nutrients and oxygen while preserving structural integrity for extended culture periods, which makes it suitable for studying dynamic cellular processes in intact tissue contexts such as cell movement and tissue remodeling. .

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.

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

Organotypic 3D Invasion Assay
The organotypic 3D invasion assay measures carcinoma-cell invasion into a fibroblast-remodeled extracellular matrix, usually collagen I with or without basement-membrane matrix, under an air-liquid or grid-supported culture condition; the readout is invasion depth, invaded area, or an invasion index from histological or fluorescence images. This assay models stromal regulation of invasion because fibroblasts or CAFs remodel matrix, generate tracks, and can lead collective carcinoma-cell invasion; the resulting cancer-cell penetration into the gel reflects tumor-stroma-ECM interactions rather than migration on a rigid 2D substrate.
-
Cell invasion
Cell invasion is the ability of cells to migrate from one area to another via the extracellular matrix. Cell invasion is the response of normal and cancer cells to chemical and mechanical stimuli. Before migrating to a new region, the extracellular matrix is degraded by proteases within the cell. Cell invasion often occurs during wound repair, vascularization and inflammation, abnormal tissue invasion, and tumor cell metastasis.

3D Tumor Spheroid Invasion Assay
3D tumor spheroid invasion assay measures outward tumor-cell movement from a compact multicellular spheroid into a surrounding extracellular matrix, producing image-based readouts such as invasion area, invasion distance, cell dispersion, or time-resolved cell movement. The method models tumor-cell interaction with matrix components in three dimensions and is used to study invasive phenotypes in cancer models including glioblastoma, squamous cell carcinoma, breast cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, and other solid tumor systems.

Orthotopic Cell-Line Xenograft
Orthotopic cell-line xenograft models involve implantation of human cancer cell lines into the anatomically corresponding organ of immunodeficient mice to reproduce tumor growth within a native microenvironment, enabling more clinically relevant tumor behavior compared with subcutaneous models. These models are widely used because orthotopic placement better recapitulates tumor progression, including invasion and metastatic spread, which are often underrepresented in heterotopic implantation systems. Compared with conventional xenografts, orthotopic implantation is described as more technically complex but provides improved simulation of tumor-microenvironment interactions and metastatic behavior, making it particularly valuable for translational oncology research. Surgical orthotopic implantation approaches have been emphasized as enabling faithful reproduction of clinical cancer features, including metastasis and disease progression patterns that align with the tumor’s organ of origi
