In Vitro | Ecteinascidin 770 induces apoptosis of U373MG cells. The IC50 concentration of ecteinascidin 770 for killing U373MG glioblastoma cells in culture by using the MTT assay is 4.83 nM by a 72 hour-treatment[1]. The IC50 values against human cell lines HCT116, QG56, and DU145 are 0.6, 2.4, and 0.81 nM, respectively[2]. ET-770 is shown to enhance anoikis response of human lung cancer H23 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Ecteinascidin 770 sensitizes the cells by activating the p53 protein, which in turn down-regulates anti-apoptotic myeloid cell leukemia sequence-1 (MCL1) and up-regulates BCL2-associated X protein (BAX) proteins. However, B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL2) proteins are not significantly affected by Ecteinascidin 770. The anoikis sensitization of ET-770 is observed in H460 lung cancer cells[3]. |
Cell Assay | Ecteinascidin 770 is dissolved in DMSO and diluted with appropriate medium. H23 and H460 cells are seeded into 96-well plates at 1×105 cell/mL for 24 h and then treated with different concentrations of ecteinascidin 770 for 24 h. Cells are then incubated with 20 μM of XTT reagent for a further 4 h at 37°C. The intensity of the formazan product is measured at 450 nm using a microplate reader. The cell viability is calculated from the optical density (OD) ratio of treated to non-treated control cells and is presented as a percentage to that of the non-treated controls[3]. |
