Description

BV6, a SMAC mimetic, inhibits the inhibitors of apoptosis proteins (IAPs), causing apoptosis [1]. BV6 can induce degradation of IAPs, including cIAP1 and cIAP2, and sensitize the resistant cancer cell lines to apoptosis induced by the death ligands TNF-α and TRAIL [2]. BV6 has been widely used to inhibit the growth, clonal formation and angiogenesis of various cancer cells [3].

In vitro, BV6 treatment for 24 hours significantly inhibited the viability of MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 cells, with IC50 values of 5.36μM and 3.71μM [4]. Treatment with 10µM BV6 for 24 hours significantly attenuated the pro-inflammatory signaling induced by TNF and CD40L and triggered the maturation of immature monocyte-derived dendritic cells (iDCs)[5]. 2µM BV6 treatment for 48 hours significantly increased the mRNA and protein expression levels of caspase-3 and caspase-9, and decreased the expression level of LC3-II protein in NCI-H23 cells[6].

In vivo, BV6 treatment via a single intraperitoneal injection at a dose of 10mg/kg significantly inhibited the inflammatory state of endometriosis-like lesions in mice within 4 weeks, and reduced the expression of NF-κB p65 and phosphorylated NF-κB p65[7]. A single intraductal injection of 0.1mg dose of BV6 into the gallbladder significantly induced intrahepatic bile duct injury and inflammatory response in mice within 5 days[8].

Protocol

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

MCF-7 cells

Preparation Method

MCF-7 cells were grown in DMEM medium supplemented with 1% penicillin/streptomycin and 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS) at 37°C in an incubator with 5% CO2. MCF-7 cells at 8×103 cells/well were seeded in 96-well microtiter plates and incubated at 37°C for 24 hours. Different concentrations of BV6 (0, 1, 5, 10, and 20µM) were treated for 24h, and the cell viability was analyzed.

Reaction Conditions

0, 1, 5, 10, and 20µM; 24h

Applications

BV6 treatment inhibited the cell viability of MCF-7 cells in a dose-dependent manner.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Female BALB/c mice

Preparation Method

Female BALB/c mice (6 weeks old) were maintained under a 12h light and 12h dark cycle at a temperature of 25°C and humidity of 50%±10%, free with water and an ad libitum diet. All 36 mice included were ovariectomized through a 1cm longitudinal skin incision, then injected subcutaneously with estradiol valerate (E2: 0.5μg/mouse/week) for 6 weeks until the experimental endometriosis induction and kill. 2 weeks after ovariectomy, the uteri of donor mice (n=12) were removed en bloc after euthanasia and cleaned of excess tissue in sterile saline. Each uterus was cut to include the uterine horns in each half with a linear incision longitudinally and minced (approximately 0.5mm in diameter) with dissecting scissors. The ovariectomized recipient mice (n=24) were anesthetized using pentobarbital sodium. A 0.5cm subabdominal midline incision was made. Each recipient received half of the donor uterus (1:2 donor uterus to host ratio) minced and added to 500μl saline, and injected into the peritoneal cavity, and the peritoneum was sutured. The injected uterine tissue weighed approximately 50mg per mouse. For the next 4 weeks, recipient mice were treated with a single intraperitoneal injection of BV6 (10mg/kg). Endometriosis-like lesions were carefully removed and photographed to document in situ images of the lesions by microscope.

Dosage form

10mg/kg for once; i.p.

Applications

BV6 treatment repressed the inflammation status of murine endometriosis-like lesions and reduced the expression of NF-κB p65 and phosphorylated NF-κB p65.
