PTC-209 is a cell-permeable BMI-1 inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.5μM in HEK293T cells. PTC-209 downregulates BMI-1 protein expression by inhibiting BMI-1 transcription and impairs RING1A-mediated epigenetic regulation of H2AK119ub1. PTC-209 suppresses tumor progression by reducing the self-renewal capacity of tumor-initiating cells. PTC-209 can be used in studies related to colorectal cancer, glioblastoma, multiple myeloma, and cardiac reprogramming[1-4].
In vitro, PTC-209 (1 or 10μM) treated U87MG and T98G glioblastoma cells and TPC-1115 and TPC-0411 primary glioblastoma cells for 2-4 days. PTC-209 downregulated BMI-1 protein and H2AK119ub1 levels, inhibited cell proliferation, and induced G0/G1 and G2/M phase arrest. PTC-209 suppressed cell migration and mesenchymal marker expression, and inhibited self-renewal and sphere-forming ability of glioblastoma stem cells[5]. PTC-209 (1μM) pretreated mouse embryonic fibroblasts and cardiac fibroblasts for 24h. PTC-209 reduced H2AK119ub enrichment at cardiac gene loci, upregulated Gata4, Isl1, Flk1, and downregulated Col1A1 (in embryonic fibroblasts). PTC-209 downregulated chemokines, interleukins, cytokines, and related JAK/STAT3 and MAPK/ERK1-2 pathway molecules[6].
In vivo, PTC-209 (0.5-1mg/g per week) alone or combined with cisplatin (0.5-1mg/g per week) was intraperitoneally injected into 4NQO-induced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma model mice for 4 consecutive weeks. PTC-209 monotherapy reduced ESCC lesion numbers, and combination with cisplatin further decreased lesion numbers and inhibited tumor growth compared to monotherapy[7]. PTC-209 (30mg/kg; once daily) was subcutaneously injected into Cal27 and FaDu head and neck squamous cell carcinoma xenograft nude mice for 15 consecutive days. PTC-209 significantly inhibited tumor growth, downregulated intratumoral Bmi1 and Ki-67 expression, and reduced CD44-positive cells[8].

Protocol
| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | U87MG and T98G human glioblastoma cell lines, TPC-1115 and TPC-0411 patient-derived primary glioblastoma cells |
Preparation Method | U87MG and T98G cells were maintained in high-glucose DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin-streptomycin at 37°C, 5% CO₂. TPC-1115 and TPC-0411 cells were maintained in serum-free DMEM/F12 supplemented with 75μg/mL BSA, N2 supplement, B27 supplement, 10μg/mL insulin, 20ng/mL bFGF and 20ng/mL EGF; sphere formation assay was performed in ultra-low attachment plates with serum-free DMEM/F12 containing B27 supplement, 5μg/mL insulin, 20ng/mL bFGF and 10ng/mL EGF. Cells were treated with 1μM or 10μM PTC-209 for corresponding assay durations. |
Reaction Conditions | 1μM or 10μM；2-4 day |
Applications | PTC-209 downregulated BMI-1 protein and global H2AK119ub1 levels in U87MG and T98G cells. PTC-209 inhibited U87MG and T98G cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner, arrested cells at G0/G1 and G2/M phases, reduced cell migratory capacity, downregulated mesenchymal markers (α-catenin, N-cadherin, Fibronectin, Vimentin) and mesenchymal-inducing transcription factors (Snail1, Slug). PTC-209 reduced the proportion of side population cells and CD133-high cells, decreased sphere-initiating cell frequency and formed smaller tumor spheres. PTC-209 reversed the transcriptional program altered by BMI-1 overexpression, reduced H2AK119ub1 enrichment at promoters of BMI-1-targeted tumor suppressor genes and upregulated their expression (e.g. CBX7, TIMP4, SFRP1, KLF9). |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Male nude mice (8-week-old) |
Preparation Method | 2×10⁶ Cal27 or FaDu cells in 100μL PBS were subcutaneously injected into nude mice. Three weeks after inoculation when tumor volumes reached approximately 100mm³, mice were randomly divided into two groups (6 mice per group) and received daily subcutaneous injection of PTC-209 (30mg/kg) or vehicle (PBS) for consecutive 15 days. Tumor diameters were measured every 3 days using calipers, and tumor samples were harvested at the end of treatment for immunohistochemical and immunofluorescent staining. |
Dosage form | 30mg/kg; s.c.; daily for 15 days |
Applications | PTC-209 administration significantly reduced tumor volume and final tumor weight in both Cal27 and FaDu xenografts. PTC-209 decreased the number of Bmi1-positive cancer cells and Ki-67-positive proliferating cells in tumor tissues, and reduced CD44-positive cell number as revealed by immunofluorescent staining. |
