Protocol

Cell experiment:

Cell Viability Assay on treated cells in 96-well plates, based on viable cells. 20 μL of CellTiter-Blue®reagent is added to each well and then incubated at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 4h before fluorescence reading using a Victor 1420 Multilabel Counter. All experiments are performed in triplicate and at least three independent experiments are performed. Data are presented as percentage compared with control.

Animal experiment:

Viable MDA-MB-231 or HeLa cells (1×106) are resuspended in 300 μL of 0.9% NaCl and s.c. injected into both flanks of nude mice (MDA-MB-231: n=8 mice in each group, total N=16; HeLa: n=7 mice in each group, total N=14). Approximately 3 weeks after inoculation, mice are treated with Poloxin (40 mg/kg) or TQ (20 mg/kg) by intratumoral injection on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for 5 to 6 weeks. The tumor area is calculated by multiplication of the greatest diameter with the perpendicular diameter every 2 to 3 days. Measurements of all tumors within the group are represented by the mean value. U-tests and Student's t-tests are performed for statistical evaluation among MDA-MB-231 groups and between HeLa groups, respectively. All mice are properly treated in accordance with the guidelines of the local animal committee.

Background

Poloxin is a non-ATP competitive Polo-like Kinase 1 (PLK1) inhibitor that targets the polo-box domain, with an IC50 of appr 4.8 μM.
Poloxin (25 μM) induces defects in centrosome integrity, spindle formation, and chromosome alignment in mitosis. Centrosomal fragmentation induced by Poloxin is partially rescued by Kiz T379E. Poloxin (25 μM) activates the mitotic checkpoint, induces apoptosis and inhibits proliferation of MDA-MB-231 cells[1]. Poloxin inhibits proliferation in both cell lines with a comparable efficiency through 72 h period[2]. Poloxin inhibits the polo-box domain (PBD) interaction with an apparent IC50 of ∼4.8 μM. Poloxin exhibits a loose Plk1 PBD specificity with 4-10 times higher IC50 values for Plk2 and Plk3, and does not significantly inhibit other types of phosphopeptide-binding domains such as FHA, WW, and SH2 domains[3].
Poloxin (40 mg/kg) decreases the proliferation of MDA-MB-231 cells, and surpresses the growth of the tumor nude mice bearing established xenografts of MDA-MB-231[1].

Calculation results:

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
