STO-609 is a selective and cell-permeable inhibitor of the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase (CaM-KK), with Ki values of 80 and 15ng/mL for recombinant CaM-KKα and CaM-KKβ, respectively[1]. CaM-KK is a key signal transduction protein that plays an important role in intracellular calcium signal transduction by activating members of the CaM kinase family (such as CaM-KI, CaM-KIV, etc.)[2]. STO-609 is typically used to study CAM-KK-related signaling pathways and their roles in various cellular physiological processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, metabolism, and neural signal transduction[3][4].
In vitro, treatment of non-functional pituitary adenoma (NFPA) cells with STO-609 (0.4-51.2μM; 24h)significantly inhibits cells proliferation and migration and induces apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner by suppressing the Ca²⁺/CaM signaling pathway[5]. Treatment of insect neurosecretory cells with STO-609 (15μM; 10min) significantly reduced nicotine-induced currents and intracellular calcium levels increase by inhibiting the CaMKK/AMPK pathway[6].
In vivo, STO-609 (30μg/kg; i.p.; twice a week; 3 weeks) significantly reduced the lung weight of mice inhibited experimental lung metastasis in mice with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells overexpressing EP4[7].

Protocol
| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | HP75 cells |
Preparation Method | HP75 cells were cultured in DMEM containing 15% horse serum, and 2.5% fetal calf serum at 37˚C in an easeful air atmosphere containing 5% carbon dioxide. The cells were seeded into 96-well plates for overnight, and the density is 1.0×105 cells/well. After washing culture medium, different doses of STO-609 were used to the cells and cultured for 24h, control group and solvent control group were classed by using normal saline (NS) and DMSO respectively, and 6 wells were prepared for doses of STO-609 (concentration gradients were 0.4μmol/L, 0.8μmol/L, 1.6μmol/L, 3.2μmol/L, 6.4μmol/L, 12.8μmol/L, 25.6μmol/L and 51.2μmol/L). Cells were cultured for 1h after added CCK-8 into wells with a quantity of 10μl/well. The wave length of 450nm was applied to measure OD value of each well on the microplate reader. |
Reaction Conditions | 0.4-51.2μM; 24h |
Applications | STO-609 significantly inhibits cells proliferation and migration and induces apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | BALB/c Slc-nu/nu mice |
Preparation Method | HSC-3 cells transfected with the lentiviral scramble control or EP4 over expression were harvested and injected (2×106cells/0.2mL) into the tail veins of BALB/c Slc-nu/nu mice (female, 4–5 weeks old, 4 mice/group) (SLC). Each group of mice was administered either vehicle (0.1% dimethylsulfoxide in phosphate-buffered saline) or STO-609 by intraperitoneal injection (30μg/kg/body weight) twice per week for 3 weeks. Three weeks after the injection of the cells, the lungs were fixed with formalin, and the weights were measured. |
Dosage form | 30μg/kg; i.p.; twice per week; 3 weeks |
Applications | STO-609 significantly reduced the lung weight of mice. |
