Busulfan is an alkylating drug alkylates DNA, with an IC50 value of 77μM for human serum Paraoxonase 1[1]. Busulfan has been widely used in cellular and animal models to induce rapidly dividing cell death[2].
In vitro, Busulfan treatment in P39 cells at 100μg/ml for 8 hours induced apoptosis, accompanied by caspase activation and cleavage of Bcl-2 and PARP proteins[3]. Treatment of HepaRG cells with 1000μM Busulfan for 4 days resulted in cellular mitochondrial dysfunction, elevated neutral lipid levels, increased fatty acid uptake, and decreased secretion of very-low-density lipoprotein[4]. Treatment of U2OS and MG-63 cells with 150μM Busulfan for 48 hours significantly inhibited cell viability, up-regulated the miR-200 family and regulated related target genes[5]. Treatment with 100μM Busulfan for 48 hours inhibited autophagy in mouse spermatogonial progenitor cells, resulting in a significant up-regulation of mTOR phosphorylation at Ser2448[6].
In vivo, Busulfan treatment via a single intraperitoneal injection at the dose of 40mg/kg for 56 days caused male C3H/Kam mice permanently infertile and led to the morphological damage to sperm produced by surviving stem cell spermatogonia[7]. In NOD/ LtSz-scid /IL2Rγ knockout mice, two intraperitoneal injections of 25mg/kg Busulfan at 48 and 24 hours before infusion of human cells promoted engraftment of human hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) and significantly improved survival[8].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
|
Cell lines |
P39 cells |
|
Preparation Method |
P39 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS), penicillin (25IU/ml), and streptomycin (25μg/ml) at 37°C and 5% CO2 humidity. The cell seeding concentration was 0.20 × 106 cells /ml. All experiments were performed in exponentially growing cells. Cells were incubated with Busulfan at a final concentration of 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100μg/ml for 2, 4, and 8 hours. The cells were washed and re-cultured for 72h in medium without Busulfan. In all experiments, cells cultured in medium supplemented with 10% FBS or medium supplemented with 10% FBS and 0.5% DMSO were used as controls. Cells treated with etoposide at a final concentration of 6μg/ml were used as a positive control for apoptosis. Cell number and viability were determined by the trypan blue exclusion assay. |
|
Reaction Conditions |
10, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100μg/ml; 2, 4, and 8h |
|
Applications |
Busulfan inhibited cell viability and reduced cell number in a concentration and time-dependent manner within P39 cells. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
|
Animal models |
Wistar rats |
|
Preparation Method |
Thirty-two male Wistar rats (6-8 weeks old, with an average body weight of 150g) were housed under standard conditions (22 ± 3℃, humidity 45-60%), and had unlimited access to water and chewable food. The rats were randomly divided into 2 groups (8 rats in each group); (I): The control group of rats received no injections; (II): The rats in the second group were intraperitoneally injected with 40mg/kg Busulfan once. Samples were taken from the rats 56 days after the injection, and the histopathological changes were analyzed. |
|
Dosage form |
40mg/kg for once; i.p. |
|
Applications |
Busulfan treatment led to the depletion and destruction of sperm formation in rats, with congestion in the kidney tissue and extensive necrosis, degeneration and formation of hyaline casts in the renal tubules. |
