TAT-N24
TAT-N24 is a cell-penetrating peptide and also an inhibitor of p55PIK. TAT-N24 disrupts the interactions between p55PIK and p53, PCNA or Rb, blocks the p53-dependent ubiquitin-mediated degradation process, and inhibits the nuclear translocation and phosphorylation of NF-κB p65. TAT-N24 enhances MMS-induced p53-dependent cell apoptosis, inhibits DNA synthesis, reduces the expression of Cyclin D1, and induces cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 or S phase. TAT-N24 inhibits the activation of NLRP3 and NLRC4 inflammasomes, reduces the expression of ZBP1-PANoptosome components, and suppresses PANoptosis. TAT-N24 can be used in research related to leukemia, colon cancer, cervical cancer, liver cancer, corneal neovascularization, restenosis and acute glaucoma.

TAT-N24 efficiently localizes to the nucleus of HeLa cells[1].
TAT-N24 (50-100 μg/mL; 24-72 h) inhibits the proliferation of HeLa cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner, with significant effects observed at 50 μg/mL and 100 μg/mL after 72 h[1].
TAT-N24 (50-100 μg/mL; 24-72 h) inhibits the proliferation of HepG2 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner, with significant effects observed at 50 μg/mL and 100 μg/mL after 72 h[1].
TAT-N24 (120 μg/mL; 3 days) induces differentiation of HL60 human leukemia cells into the monocyte lineage, as shown by increased CD11b, CD14, CCL2, CCR, and CD163 expression, and synergizes with ATRA to enhance granulocytic marker expression[3].
TAT-N24 (10-100 μg/mL; 12-36 h) does not induce significant apoptosis in SW480 cells alone, but enhances MMS-induced p53-dependent apoptosis in a dose- and time-dependent manner, with maximum effects seen at ≥50 μg/mL TAT-N24 combined with 200 μM MMS over 36 h[1].
TAT-N24 alone downregulates p53 and p53-dependent apoptosis-related gene expression in SW480 cells, but acts synergistically with MMS to upregulate these genes, consistent with enhanced p53-dependent apoptosis[1].
TAT-N24 does not alter p53-dependent apoptosis-related gene expression in p53-null H1299 cells, either alone or in combination with MMS, confirming its gene-regulatory effects are p53-dependent[1].
TAT-N24 (120 μg/mL; 1-4 days) inhibits proliferation, induces G0/G1 cell cycle arrest, and reduces DNA synthesis in HL60 human leukemia cells when treated at 120 μg/mL for up to 4 days[3].
TAT-N24 (120 μg/mL; 3-48 hours) inhibits proliferation, induces megakaryocytic differentiation, and blocks p55PIK-mediated pro-proliferative signaling in K562 human chronic myeloid leukemia cells, with dose-dependent upregulation of TLR2 and TLR4 at 60-180 μg/mL[3].
