Description of BLT-1

BLT-1 is a selective scavenger receptor B, type 1 (SR-BI) inhibitor that inhibits DiI-labeled high-density lipoprotein (HDL) uptake with an IC50 value of 0.021μM [1]. BLT-1 blocks lipid transport, including selective uptake and efflux, to prevent SR-BI-mediated cholesterol efflux from cells to HDL[2]. BLT-1 has been widely used to prevent hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection of cells and enhance viral clearance [3].

In vitro, BLT-1 treatment for 3 hours significantly inhibited the proliferation of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-468 cells with the IC50 values of 55nM and 48nM, respectively[4]. Treatment with 10μM BLT-1 for 24 hours in HUVECs enhanced the pro-inflammatory effect induced by sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), accompanied by an increase in the protein levels of TNF-α and IL-1β[5]. BLT-1 (10μM) combined with SR-BI siRNA pretreatment for 2 hours on THP-1 macrophages significantly inhibited baicalin-induced cholesterol efflux[6].

In vivo, BLT-1 treatment (25mg/kg/day; p.o.) for 15 days can lead to higher levels of lipid peroxides in the acute myeloid leukemia model of mice, thereby inhibiting the progression of leukemia through ferroptosis[7]. Oral administration of 25mg/kg dose of BLT-1 daily for 4 consecutive weeks inhibited the tumor growth in a PC3 cell-xenograft mouse model, without affecting the body weight [8].

Protocol of BLT-1

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

MDA-MB-468 cells

Preparation Method

MDA-MB-468 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% (v/v) FCF, 100µg/ml streptomycin and 100U/ml penicillin in an incubator at 37℃, 100% humidity and 5% CO2. 7.5×103 cells in 200µl/well were added to 96-well plates, and after overnight cell attachment, the cells were stimulated with different concentrations of BLT-1 (15, 30, 50, 100, and 200nM) for 1, 3, and 5h to analyze cell viability.

Reaction Conditions

15, 30, 50, 100, and 200nM; 1, 3, and 5h

Applications

BLT-1 treatment decreased the cell viability of MDA-MB-468 cells in a dose- and time-dependent fashion.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Athymic nude mice (Crl:NU-Foxn1nu)

Preparation Method

Athymic nude mice (Crl:NU-Foxn1nu) were housed in a specific pathogen-free (SPF) animal house at 24±2°C temperature and 55±5% humidity and maintained on a 12h light/12h dark circadian rhythm. A total of 2×106 PC3 cells were inoculated subcutaneously on the hind flank of athymic nude mice. Once tumors exceeded 100mm3, mice were randomized into vehicle (propylene glycol) or 25mg/kg BLT-1 treatment (by oral gavage) cohorts administered daily for 4 weeks. Tumor volumes (TV) were measured using calipers and the equation TV=length×width×height×0.5326.

Dosage form

25mg/kg/day for 4 weeks; p.o.

Applications

BLT-1 treatment suppressed PC3 tumor growth in mice without affecting body weight.
