ML-264 is a novel selective Krüppel-like factor 5 (KLF5) inhibitor. ML-264 inhibits cancer cell proliferation. ML-264 downregulates KLF5/EGR1 expression. ML-264 alters cell cycle to inhibit proliferation. ML-264 is useful for studies on colorectal cancer and KLF5-related tumor mechanisms[1-4].
In vitro, HK-2 cells were treated with 5-20µM ML-264 for 24h. ML-264 aggravated TGF-β-induced apoptosis, aggravated TGF-β-induced fibrosis and G2/M phase cell cycle stalling[5]. Colorectal cancer cell lines and patient-derived colorectal cancer organoids were treated with 10µM ML-264 for 1-7 days. ML-264 decreased Bcl-2 expression, increased Bax expression, ncreased cleaved caspase-3 expression, promoted apoptosis, enhanced oxaliplatin-induced apoptotic response[6]. 143B and U2OS cells were treated with 0.5-2µM ML-264 for 24-96h. ML-264 inhibited cell migration, cell invasion, induced G0/G1 phase cell cycle arrest, inhibited cell proliferation, colony formation[7].
In vivo, nude mice subcutaneously inoculated with DLD-1 cells were intraperitoneally injected with 10-25mg/kg ML-264 twice daily for 10 days. ML-264 inhibited DLD-1 xenograft tumor growth and reduced mitotic figures[8]. BALB/c nude mice were intraperitoneally injected with 10mg/kg ML-264 every 2 days for 32 days. ML-264 inhibited A2780-olaR xenograft tumor growth, decreased Vimentin, KLF4, Ki-67 expression, enhanced Olaparib-induced tumor cell apoptosis[9]. C57BL/6 mice were administered ML-264 every 12h for 28 days starting 12h after permanent left coronary artery ligation. ML-264 improved ejection fraction, reduced ventricular volume, heart weight, early postoperative mortality[10].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
|
Cell lines |
HK-2 cells (human proximal tubular epithelial cell line) |
|
Preparation Method |
HK-2 cells were treated with ML-264 at 5µM, 10µM or 20µM together with TGF-β (10ng/mL) and Magnesium Lithospermate B (100µM) for 24h, then protein and RNA were harvested for Western blot, RT-qPCR and flow cytometry to assess fibrosis, apoptosis and G2/M cell cycle stalling. |
|
Reaction Conditions |
5-20µM; 24h |
|
Applications |
ML-264 intensified apoptosis, fibrosis and G2/M phase cell cycle stalling in TGF-β-stimulated HK-2 cells. ML-264 reduced CDK1/Cyclin B1 expression and reinstated G2/M phase cell cycle stalling. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
|
Animal models |
BALB/c nude mice |
|
Preparation Method |
DLD-1 human colorectal cancer cells were subcutaneously injected into the right flank of 6-7 week old male nude mice. When tumor volume reached about 100mm3, mice were intraperitoneally injected with ML-264 at 10mg/kg or 25mg/kg twice daily for 10 days. Tumors were excised for analysis of proliferation, histology and protein expression. |

Applications |
ML-264 inhibited DLD-1 xenograft tumor growth, reduced the number of mitotic figures and Ki-67 staining, increased vimentin-positive fibroblasts and Mac-3-positive mononuclear phagocytes, decreased KLF5 and EGR1 expression in tumor tissues. |
