Description of TM-2-51

TM-2-51 is a highly selective histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) activator. TM-2-51 binds to two sites on HDAC8 with positive cooperativity and can enhance the activity of recombinant HDAC8[1-2]. TM-2-51 can be used for research related to cancer[3-4].

In vitro, SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells were treated with TM-2-51 (80μM) for 24, 48, and 72 hours. TM-2-51 selectively induced growth inhibition and apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells and enhanced the expression levels of p53 and p21 proteins[5]. Human renal proximal tubule HK-2 cells and rat renal proximal tubule NRK-52E cells were treated with TM-2-51 (25–50μM) (cobalt stimulation; 20-22 hours; or during hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) stimulation; 16-18h). TM-2-51 significantly prevented cobalt- and H/R-induced cytotoxicity, mitochondrial fission and dysfunction, and inhibited the upregulation of DRP1 expression and the increase in histone H3 lysine 27 acetylation (H3K27ac) levels[6].

In vivo, BALB/C nude mice subcutaneously inoculated with 143B osteosarcoma cells received intraperitoneal injections of TM-2-51 (10mg/kg) every two days for two weeks. TM-2-51 significantly inhibited tumor growth[7].

Protocol of TM-2-51

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

SH-SY5Y and BE(2)-C human neuroblastoma cell lines

Preparation Method

Cells were grown in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% (v/v) heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% (v/v) antibiotic-antimycotic solution. Cells were treated with TM-2-51 (80μM) for 72 hours (apoptosis assay); for proliferation assay, cells were treated with different concentrations of TM-2-51 for 24, 48, and 72 hours.

Reaction Conditions

80μM; 24-72 hours.

Applications

TM-2-51 selectively induced growth inhibition and apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells but showed no such effects in BE(2)-C cells. The protein expression levels of p53 and p21 were enhanced in TM-2-51-treated SH-SY5Y cells but not in BE(2)-C cells.

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

BALB/C nude mice

Preparation Method

143B cells were subcutaneously inoculated into the axilla of nude mice. One week later, nude mice were randomly assigned into two groups and received DMSO or TM-2-51 (10mg/kg) via intraperitoneal injection every 2 days for the next two weeks.

Dosage form

10mg/kg; i.p.; every 2 days for 2 weeks.

Applications

TM-2-51 administration significantly suppressed the growth of tumors in vivo. HE and Ki67 staining revealed that the proliferation ability of tumor tissue was obviously reduced in the TM-2-51 treated group.
