Description:

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

Adarotene, also known as ST1926, is an atypical retinoid and a promising anti-tumour agent with selective apoptotic activity on the leukaemic blast. The anti-tumour activity of the compound has been associated with its capacity to induce DNA double stranded breaks. (source: Eur J Cancer. 2012 Dec 11. pii: S0959-8049(12)00909-4.).

Product Data
Biological target:
Adarotene is an effective apoptosis inducer, which produces DNA damage and exhibits a potent antiproliferative activity on a large panel of human tumor cells.
In vitro activity:
The growth of human PCa cells, DU145 and PC3, and mouse PCa cells, PLum-AD and PLum-AI, was not altered even in the presence of suprapharmacological ATRA concentrations (10 µmol/L) (Figure 1B). However, a significant decrease in PCa cell proliferation of all tested cells was detected at pharmacologically achievable µmol/L concentrations of ST1926 (Figure 1A). The antiproliferative effect of ST1926 on mouse PLum-AD and PLum-AI PCa cells, which represent primary and advanced PCa cells, respectively, and on human PC3 and DU145 cells representing androgen-independent PCa, showed potent reduction in the proliferation rate in the presence of sub-µmol/L ST1926 concentrations (Figure 1A). Reference: Biosci Rep. 2020 Oct 30;40(10):BSR20200050. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30883933/
In vivo activity:
As shown in Fig. 8A, ST1926 treatment markedly reduced the tumor growth. Also, the significantly reduced tumor volume and weight was detected in ST1926-treated mice (Fig. 8B and C). No significant difference was monitored in the change of body weight of mice (Fig. 8D). Then, IHC assays showed that ST1926 markedly reduced KI-67 expression in tumor sections, indicating the suppressed proliferation of glioma. In contrast, obvious apoptosis was observed in tumor samples, as evidenced by the markedly increased expression levels of TUNEL and cleaved Caspase-3 (Fig. 8E and F). Finally, the toxicity of ST1926 was assessed. As displayed in Fig. 9A, H&E staining showed that there was no obvious histological changes in the major organ samples (kidney, spleen, heart and liver) between the Con and ST1926 groups of mice. In addition, the activities or levels of GOT, GPT, ALP, BUN, CRE, TP and ALB were not markedly different between the Con and ST1926-treated groups (Fig. 9B). The in vivo findings indicated that ST1926 exhibited effective anti-glioma activities with few side effects.
