Description of TRi-1

TRi-1 is a potent, specific, and irreversible inhibitor of TXNRD1 and TXNRD2 with IC50 values of 18nM and 44nM [1]. TRi-1 can enhance the activation of Nrf2 by increasing the intracellular ROS level, leading to a compensatory increase in the relative mRNA expression levels of the classic activated genes downstream of Nrf2 [2]. TRi-1 has been widely used to reduce the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), inhibit the proliferation of cancer stem cells (CSCs) and impede tumor growth[3].

In vitro, TRi-1 treatment for 48 hours significantly inhibited the proliferation of B16-F10 cells and LLC cells with IC50 values of 20µM and 25µM, respectively[4]. Treatment of LN229TAZ(4SA) cells with 1.25μM TRi-1 for 48h significantly induced cell death in the absence of glucose[5].

In vivo, TRi-1 treatment via intraperitoneal injection at a dose of 10mg/kg daily for 5 consecutive days, followed by a 2-day drug-free period, and subsequently administered three times per week for two weeks, resulted in significant suppression of tumor volume in mouse MDA-MB-231 xenograft models without affecting body weight [6]. TRi-1 (10mg/kg), administered intraperitoneally every three days for 21 days, significantly reduced TXNRD1 levels and decreased the expression of IL-1β and C-X-C motif chemokine 15 (CXCL15) in ovarian tissues of 22-month-old mice[7].

Protocol of TRi-1

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

B16-F10 cells

Preparation Method

B16-F10 cells were cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 2mM l-glutamine, and 150nM Na2SeO3 at 37℃ in the presence of 5% CO2. B16-F10 cells were seeded at a density of 3×103 cells/well in 96-well flat-bottom plates and cultured for 24 hours. Cells were treated with different concentrations of TRi-1 (0.005, 0.05, 0.5, 1, 5, 10, 25, and 50μM) for 48h, and cell viability was measured.

Reaction Conditions

0.005, 0.05, 0.5, 1, 5, 10, 25, and 50μM; 48h

Applications

TRi-1 treatment reduced the cell viability of B16-F10 cells in a concentration-dependent manner.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Female C56BL/6 mice

Preparation Method

Female C56BL/6 mice (aged 22 months) were housed in a room with controlled humidity (50±10%) and temperature (25±3°C) under a 12/12h light/dark cycle. Mice were randomly divided into three groups: injected intraperitoneally once every 3 days with 10mg/kg TRi-1 in solvent (10% DMSO+90% corn oil), 5mg/kg auranofin in solvent, or solvent alone in a 100μl volume for 21 days. The mice were killed, and the ovarian tissues were collected for analysis.

Dosage form

10mg/kg; every 3 days for 21 days; i.p.

Applications

TRi-1 treatment significantly reduced TXNRD1 levels and decreased the expression of IL-1β and CXCL15 in ovarian tissues of mice.
