Description of Fatostatin

Fatostatin (125B11) is a specific inhibitor of sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBP) activation, inhibiting the activation of both SREBP-1 and SREBP-2[1]. Fatostatin blocks the occurrence of SCAP (SREBP cleavage-activating protein), preventing the transport of SREBP to the Golgi for activation, thereby reducing the transcription of genes involved in lipid and cholesterol biosynthesis[2]. Fatostatin can inhibit the AKT/mTORC1/GPX4 signaling pathway, inducing ferroptosis[3].

In vitro, Fatostatin (5μM) treatment of U87, T98G, MDA-MB-453, and Jurkat T cells for 24 or 48 hours induced spindle damage and mitotic arrest, causing all cells to be inhibited in the G2/M phase[4]. Fatostatin (0-20 μM) treatment of CHO cells dose-dependently inhibited the expression of HMG-CoA synthase (HMGCS 1), blocking intracellular SREBP processing[5].

In vivo, Fatostatin (15 mg/kg) administered via intraperitoneal injection for 42 days significantly inhibited tumor growth in mice with subcutaneous C4-2B tumor implants, reducing the proliferation index (Ki67 status), serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, and mRNA and protein levels of SREBP downstream genes in tumor cells[6]. Fatostatin (30 mg/kg) administered via intraperitoneal injection for 28 days in obese ob/ob mice blocked the increase in body weight, blood glucose, and liver fat accumulation[7].

Protocol of Fatostatin

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

U87, T98G, MDA-MB-453, and Jurkat T-cells 

Preparation method

U87, T98G, MDA-MB-453, and Jurkat T-cells treated with DMSO or 5μM Fatostatin for 24h (U87 cells were treated for 48 h).

Reaction Conditions

5μM; 24、48h 

Applications

Fatostatin arrested all cell lines in G2/M.

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Athymic nu/nu male mice

Preparation method

Athymic nu/nu male mice were implanted subcutaneously with C4-2B cells. Mice bearing C4-2B tumors with a mean volume of 100 mm3 were randomly divided into vehicle control (sterile PBS) or Fatostatin (15mg/kg) groups with intraperitoneal injection for 42 days.

Dosage form

15mg/kg; i.p.

Applications

Fatostatin significantly inhibited subcutaneous C4-2B tumor growth and markedly decreased serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level compared with the control group.
