Description of Phleomycin

Phleomycin is a glycopeptide antibiotic and a DNA strand break (DNA-SB) inducer that can be used to select genetically-engineered cells[1]. Phleomycin is a molecule found in Streptomyces, and similar to bleomycin, can bind to and insert into DNA, disrupting the integrity of the double helix structure[2]. Phleomycin has a mutagenic effect on resistant Streptococcus strains[3].

In vitro, treatment of HeLa cells with Phleomycin (100-400μg/mL) for 0-24h inhibited cell proliferation in a time- and dose-dependent manner, induced cytotoxicity, induced the initial release of cytochrome c, downregulation of Bcl-XL, ENDOG, DAXX, and MDM2, and upregulation of CASP and BID[4]. Treatment of Nannochloropsis oceanica cells with Phleomycin (0.2μg/mL) for 48h caused random double-strand breaks in the DNA of the algal cells and increased the transformation efficiency of the active hygromycin B resistance gene (aph7)[5]. Phleomycin (0-200ng/mL) treatment of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) from different mutants for 48h significantly reduced the survival rate of MEFs lacking XRCC4, DNA-Ligase IV or Xlf, but had no significant effect on MEFs from PAXX mutants and wild-type MEFs[6].

Protocol of Phleomycin

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

HeLa cells

Preparation Method

Cells (6×104 per well) were allowed to attach in 24-well plates for 1 day before adding Phleomycin and cultures were measured at 0, 6 , 12, 18, 24h and 100, 200, 300, 400μg/mL of Phleomycin with a hemacytometer. The cytotoxic effects of Phleomycin on HeLa cells was determined by a viable cell count and MTT assay.

Reaction Conditions

100, 200, 300, 400μg/mL; 0-24h

Applications

Phleomycin inhibits HeLa cells proliferation and induces cytotoxicity in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner.
