(-)-DHMEQ (Dehydroxymethylepoxyquinomicin) is a selective and irreversible NF-κB inhibitor. (-)-DHMEQ directly and covalently binds to specific cysteine residues of Rel family proteins (p65, cRel, RelB, p50). (-)-DHMEQ inhibits NF-κB DNA-binding activity and nuclear translocation. (-)-DHMEQ blocks canonical and non-canonical NF-κB signaling pathways. (-)-DHMEQ reduces the expression of inflammatory cytokines, adhesion molecules, and anti-apoptotic proteins. (-)-DHMEQ can be used in studies related to malignant tumors such as prostate cancer, bladder cancer, adult T-cell leukemia, and pancreatic cancer metastasis, as well as inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, sepsis, atopic dermatitis, asthma, and transplant rejection[1-4].
In vitro, pretreatment of INS-1 cells with 1-5µg/mL (-)-DHMEQ for 2 hours followed by co-treatment with 100ng/mL TNF-α for 24 hours inhibited TNF-α-induced NF-κB activation, improved TNF-α-suppressed glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, and ameliorated TNF-α-reduced cell viability[5]. Treatment of MT-2 cells with 1-5µg/mL (-)-DHMEQ for 1-4 hours reduced nuclear p65 protein levels and inhibited NF-κB DNA-binding activity in nuclear extracts[6]. Treatment of A2780 cells with 1.56-100µg/mL (-)-DHMEQ for 24, 48, or 72 hours time-dependently reduced cell viability, decreased colony formation number, and increased the proportion of necrotic and late apoptotic cells[7].
In vivo, C57BL/6 mice treated with 3% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) received intraperitoneal injections of 20mg/kg (-)-DHMEQ twice daily for 10 consecutive days. (-)-DHMEQ improved disease activity index scores, alleviated colon edema, and reduced histological damage scores[8]. Pristane-treated BALB/c mice received intraperitoneal injections of 12mg/kg (-)-DHMEQ three times per week for 16 consecutive weeks. (-)-DHMEQ reduced serum levels of anti-nucleosome, anti-dsDNA, and anti-histone IgG autoantibodies, and alleviated glomerular damage and renal pathological changes[9]. NOD/SCIDβ2mnull mice bearing TL-Om1 cell subcutaneous xenografts behind the ear received intraperitoneal injections of 12mg/kg (-)-DHMEQ three times per week for 5 consecutive weeks. (-)-DHMEQ inhibited subcutaneous xenograft tumor growth and induced TUNEL-positive apoptotic cells in tumor tissues[10].

Cell lines |
INS-1 cells (rat insulinoma beta cell line) |
|
Preparation Method |
INS-1 cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium containing 11.1mM glucose, 10mM HEPES, 10% heat-inactivated fetal calf serum, 1mM sodium pyruvate, 2mM L-glutamine, 50μM β-mercaptoethanol, and 60μg/mL kanamycin at 37°C, 5% CO2. Cells were pre-treated with (-)-DHMEQ at 1-5μg/ml for 2h, then co-incubated with 100ng/ml TNF-α for 24h. After treatment, glucose-stimulated insulin secretion by 60min KRB-HEPES challenge and EIA, cell viability by MTT assay, and mRNA levels of insulin, GCK, GLUT2, PDX-1 by quantitative real-time RT-PCR. |
