Description of Vincristine

Vincristine is an inhibitor of polymerization of microtubules by binding to tubulin with IC50 of 32μM in a cell-free assay. Vincristine can induces apoptosis[1].

Vincristine (100nM; 48h) induces distinct death programs in primary ALL cells depending on cell cycle phase, and cells in G1 are susceptible to perturbation of interphase microtubules[2].Vincristine (5nM; 4, 8, 24h) triggers a cascade of axon pathology, causing mitochondrial dysfunction that leads to elevated axonal ROS levels and SARM1-dependent axon degeneration[3].Vincristine (0.3-10nM; 48h) and SAHA on T cell leukemic cells resulted in a change in microtubule dynamics contributing to M phase arrest followed by induction of the apoptotic pathway[4].

Vincristine (Pre: <10μg or 0.5mg/kg; Post: 10μg; ip; 25d) causes swelling and redness of the injected paw as well as a strong dose-dependent infiltration of immune cells to the site of injection. Consistent with the neuro-inflammatory signature, mechanical allodynia was decreased in mice lacking Tlr4, as well as in mice treated with minocycline[5].Vincristine (3mg/kg; iv; 1 time) administrated by a single i.p. injection to mice bearing bilateral subcutaneous xenografts Rh12 or Rh18, induces mean growth delay of >120 and >52day, and repopulating fractions of 0.06% and 5%, respectively[6].

Protocol of Vincristine

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

ALL-2 cells

Preparation Method

The ALL-2 cells in either G1 or G2/M phases were treated with vehicle (0.1% DMSO) or 100nM Vincristine, harvested at specific times, and DNA content analyzed.

Reaction Conditions

100nM; 48h

Applications

When treated with Vincristine, cells underwent M phase arrest, with 86.4% cells having 4N DNA content within 8h of Vincristine treatment, and by 48h, 50% of cells had <2N DNA content.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Vincristine-induced peripheral neuropathy (VIPN) Model

Preparation Method

Vincristine (<10μg; ip; or 0.5mg/kg; ip) or vehicle (PBS; ip) were administered for five consecutive days, with 2 days break, followed by another five consecutive injections. The highest Vincristine dose (10μg; ip) was administered for four consecutive days, followed by 5 days break and another two injections. Minocycline (25mg/kg; ip) was administered once daily, 3 days before Vincristine administration, and then with each Vincristine injection.

Dosage form

1-12 days: <10μg or 0.5mg/kg; 12-25 days: 10μg; ip; 25 days

Applications

Injection of Vincristine causes swelling and redness of the injected paw as well as a strong dose-dependent infiltration of immune cells to the site of injection. Consistent with the neuro-inflammatory signature, mechanical allodynia was decreased in mice lacking Tlr4, as well as in mice treated with minocycline.
