Mitomycin C (Synonyms: Ametycine)

Catalog No.GC12353

Mitomycin C is an antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces Caespitosus or Streptomyces Lavendulae. Mitomycin C inhibits DNA synthesis by forming covalent mitomycin C-DNA adducts with DNA, with an EC50 value of 0.14 μM in PC3 cells.

Protocol

Cell experiment [1, 2]:

Cell lines

HCT116, HT-29

Preparation Method

Ten millimolar Mitomycin C is prepared in 100% dimethyl sulfoxide, stored as small aliquots at -80°C and then diluted as needed in cell culture medium.

Reaction Conditions

5 μM,12 or 24h

Applications

Mitomycin C is a mitomycin that is used as a chemotherapeutic agent by virtue of its antitumour activity. Mitomycin C not only potentiates TRAIL-induced apoptosis in HCT116 (p53−/−) colon cancer cells but also sensitizes TRAIL- resistant colon cancer cells HT-29 to the cytokine. Mitomycin C inhibits HT-29 with IC50 of 40 nM.

Animal experiment [1]:

Animal models

Nude mice (6 weeks) injected subcutaneously with 1 × 106 HCT116 (p53−/−) or 2 × 106 HT-29 cells mixed with Matrigel

Preparation Method

Ten millimolar Mitomycin C is prepared in 100% dimethyl sulfoxide, stored as small aliquots at -80°C and then diluted as needed in cell culture medium.

Dosage form

1 mg/kg, Intraperitoneal injection

Applications

Mitomycin C suppresses tumor growth significantly and does not impact the weight of the mice with TRAIL, indicating that the therapeutic combination of Mitomycin C and TRAIL is well-tolerated and has anti-tumor activity in vivo.

Background

Mitomycin C is an antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces Caespitosus or Streptomyces Lavendulae. Mitomycin C inhibits DNA synthesis by forming covalent mitomycin C-DNA adducts with DNA, with an EC50 value of 0.14 μM in PC3 cells.

Mitomycin C can enhance the apoptosis effect induced by TRAIL on HCT116 (p53-/-) colon cancer cells, and can also make TRAIL-resistant colon cancer cells HT-29 sensitive to this cytokine. The IC50 of Mitomycin C on HT-29 cells is 40nM[1,2]. At the mechanistic level, Mitomycin C down-regulates cell survival-related proteins including Bcl2, Mcl-1, and Bcl-XL, and up-regulates the expression of pro-apoptotic proteins such as Bax, Bim, and TRAIL death receptors DR4 and DR5[1,2].

Mitomycin C has shown anti-tumor effects in animal experiments. In in vivo experiments, Mitomycin C significantly inhibited tumor growth and did not affect the body weight of mice under TRAIL treatment, indicating that the therapeutic combination of Mitomycin C and TRAIL was well tolerated in vivo and had antitumor activity[1].

Mitomycin C has demonstrated anti-tumor activity in preclinical and clinical studies and is widely used to treat various cancers. Mitomycin C is known to have synergistic effects with Capecitabine and Irinotecan. Studies have shown that in colorectal cancer, combination therapy of 5-FU or Raltiterxed with Mitomycin C is more effective than single agents[1].

In cell culture experiments, the recommended concentration of Mitomycin C is 0.2-20μg/mL.
