Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

MSAB is a selective inhibitor of Wnt/β-catenin signaling. MSAB shows potent anti-tumor effects selectively on Wnt-dependent cancer cells in vitro and in mouse cancer models. MSAB binds to β-catenin, promoting its degradation, and specifically downregulates Wnt/β-catenin target genes.

More Info
Biological target:
MSAB is an inhibitor of Wnt/β-catenin signaling.
In vitro activity:
Further, to examine MsaB regulation of ccpE and gudB, this study performed an EMSA, which showed MsaB binding to the ccpE promoter (Figure 5B) and thereby suggested that MsaB regulates the TCA cycle via ccpE. This also confirms previous finding of MsaB regulation of ccpE in the UAMS-1 strain. However, the absence of binding to the promoter of gudB suggests that its regulation by MsaB might be indirect (Figure 5C). All these observations lead this study to conclude that MsaB directly regulates ccpE to control TCA cycle activity and that the increased energy state in the △msaABCR led to decreased persister cell formation in late exponential growth phase.

In vivo activity:
Catenin is the mediator of canonical Wnt signalling, and levels of active β-catenin can be reduced using the inhibitor MSAB. This is a cell-permeable compound that binds to β-catenin and induces its ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. When HCT116 cells were treated with MSAB, there was a reduction in active β-catenin and TNS4 levels were also downregulated (Figure 4A).
