Description:

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

PTC-209 is a potent BMI-1 inhibitor with potential anticancer activity. PTC-209 inhibits endogenous BMI-1 expression in human colorectal HCT116 and human fibrosarcoma HT1080 tumor cells. PTC-209 decreases colorectal tumor cell growth in a BMI-1-dependent way. In addition, PTC-209 impairs colorectal cancer-initiating cells (CICs) through irreversible growth inhibition.

Biological target:
PTC-209 is a specific BMI-1 inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.5 μM in HEK293T cell line.
In vitro activity:
The numbers of both LNM35 and A549 cells after 48 h treatment with PTC-209 were lower than the numbers of cells at 0 h hence, suggesting the occurrence of cell death upon PTC-209 treatment. Tesults clearly show that PTC-209 (2.5 μM) not only significantly reduced the cellular proliferation of lung cancer cells but also induced cellular death (Figures 4A, B). The level of active caspase 3/7, a marker of apoptosis, in PTC-209-treated cells was determined. Although a concentration of 1 and 2.5 μM, which dramatically reduced cell viability, had no effect on caspase 3/7 activation in all cancer cell lines tested, a mild but significant 1.46-fold increase in caspase 3/7 was seen in A549 cells treated with 2.5 μM of PTC-209 (Figure 4C). Taken together, results strongly suggest that PTC-209 exerts its anticancer activity through the inhibition of cellular proliferation and the induction of cellular death presumably independent of caspase 3/7 mechanism.

In vivo activity:
Reduced expression of Bmi1 by PTC-209 was accompanied by an increase in the fraction of p16+ and SA-β-gal+ cells (Figure 5, B and C). There was also a profound reduction in Sox2 expression in p-Akt+ tumor lesions of PTC-209-treated mice (38.8 [2.3]% from 10 grafts in vehicle vs 6.1 [1.4]% from 10 grafts in PTC-209, P < .001) as well as human and mouse prostate cancer cell lines (Figure 5, D–F). To test the effects of targeting Bmi1 and Sox2 on tumor recurrence, a trial of PTC-209 in SCID mice harboring BC-Pten grafts in which mice were treated with PTC-209 for 21 days beginning a month after castration (Figure 6A) was conducted. Mice were followed-up to the endpoint of 5 months after castration for this experiment. Downregulation of Bmi1 and Sox2 as well as upregulation of p16 in PTC-209-treated grafts was confirmed as pharmacodynamic measures of the drug (Supplementary Figure 5C, available online). Pathological analysis of H&E (hematoxylin and eosin)-stained sections showed a statistically significant reduction in PIN (prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia)/cancer incidence in PTC-209-treated grafts (100% in vehicle-treated grafts vs 58.3% in PTC-209-treated grafts, P <  .001) concomitant with a reduction in proliferation (10.6 [1.1]% in vehicle-treated grafts vs 3.1 [0.2]% in PTC-209-treated grafts, P=.001) (Figure 6, B–D), indicating that targeting Bmi1+Sox2+ cells with PTC-209 impairs prostate cancer recurrence after castration in this model.
