Description:

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

Silmitasertib, also know as CX-4945, is an orally bioavailable small-molecule inhibitor of CK2 with potential antineoplastic activity. CK2 inhibitor CX-4945 selectively binds to and inhibits the enzyme casein kinase II (CK2), which may lead to an inhibition of cellular proliferation. CK2, a protein kinase often overexpressed in a variety of cancer cell types, appears to be correlated with malignant transformation, tumor growth and survival.

Biological target:
Silmitasertib (CX-4945) is a, highly selective and potent CK2 inhibitor, with IC50 values of 1 nM against CK2α and CK2α'.
In vitro activity:
In the present study the effects of the CK2 inhibitor, CX4945 on cisplatin [or cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II); (DDP)]-resistant A549 cells (A549/DDP) were investigated to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism. A549/DDP cells were divided into four groups (blank control, CX4945, cisplatin and CX4945+cisplatin). Cisplatin resistance was 5.16-fold greater in A549/DDP cells compared with that in A549 cells, with an optimal cisplatin concentration of 5 µg/ml. Moreover, levels of CK2, dishevelled-2 (DVL2) phosphorylated (p) at Ser143 (p-DVL-2Ser143), and major Wnt-signaling proteins were significantly higher in A549/DDP cells compared with that in A549 cells (P<0.05), with these levels further increased following cisplatin treatment (P<0.05), whereas these levels significantly decreased in A549 cells after cisplatin treatment (P<0.05). Additionally, multidrug-resistance-associated protein 1 and lung resistance protein expression was significantly higher in A549/DDP cells compared with that in A549 cells (P<0.05), with these levels increasing further in A549/DDP (P<0.05) but not A549 cells upon cisplatin treatment (P>0.05). In addition, reduced expression of resistance proteins in A549/DDP cells was accompanied by a decline in the 50% growth inhibition after CX4945 pretreatment. Furthermore, levels of p-DVL-2Ser143 and major Wnt-signaling proteins decreased significantly after treatment of A549/DDP cells with CX4945+cisplatin, whereas DVL-2 and p-DVL-2Thr224 levels remained unchanged. Additionally, significant elevations in apoptosis rates in the CX4945+cisplatin group relative to the control and cisplatin-only groups, was observed (P<0.001). These results suggested that inhibiting Wnt/β-catenin signaling with CX4945, which attenuates levels of drug-resistance-associated proteins and induces apoptosis, might reverse cisplatin resistance in NSCLC.

In vivo activity:
This experiment focused on CX-4945-mediated effects during and shortly after therapy. To evaluate the immediate effect of CK2 inhibition (twice daily from d7 to d13) on the proliferation of SEM cells in NSG mice, animals were sacrificed during (d10), immediately after (d13) or 48 h after the last therapeutic dose (d15). To examine tumor cell proliferation and distribution, longitudinal bioluminescence imaging (BLI) of all animals was performed on d7, d10, d13 and d15. No differences in blast distribution (Fig.1a) and proliferation (Fig.1b) were observed between treated and untreated animals Pharmacokinetic experiments were conducted to elucidate in which concentrations CX-4945 was present in serum of treated mice (Fig.1c). During therapy CX-4945 concentrations of 190 ± 150 μM (d10) and 155 ± 88 μM (d13) were measured. CX-4945 levels then declined rapidly: two days after the final CX-4945 application (d15) traces were detectable only in one out of four mice. No traces of CX-4945 were detected in untreated animals. Tumor cell frequency in control animals increased rapidly from 3.3 ± 1.4% (d10) to 18.4 ± 8.5% (d15) while CX-4945-treated mice showed decelerated blast counts (2.7 ± 1.2%, 4.7 ± 1.3%, 9.2 ± 8.5% at d10, d13, d15, respectively). Spleen infiltration of ALL cells was reduced accordingly (Fig.1e;1e; Control: 2.3 ± 3.1% vs CX-4945: 1.1 ± 0.4% at d15).This indicates that even short application periods and a moderate dosis of CX-4945 are sufficient to induce signaling-modulating changes in tumor cells.
