Description:

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

MS023 is a Potent, Selective, and Cell-Active Inhibitor of Human Type I Protein Arginine Methyltransferases. MS023 displayed high potency for type I PRMTs including PRMT1, -3, -4, -6, and -8 but was completely inactive against type II and type III PRMTs, protein lysine methyltransferases and DNA methyltransferases. MS023 is a useful chemical tool for investigating the role of type I PRMTs in health and disease.

Biological target:
MS023 is a potent, selective, and cell-active inhibitor of human type I protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) inhibitor, with IC50s of 30, 119, 83, 4 and 5 nM for PRMT1, PRMT3, PRMT4, PRMT6, and PRMT8, respectively.
In vitro activity:
Entinostat was toxic for normal cells, while its effect on colon cancer cells was stronger (Growth Inhibition of 50% (GI50) was 8.3 µM and 1.2 µM, respectively). The most pronounced ALP-inducing hit was PRMT type 1 inhibitor MS023. Figure 2a shows that MS023 moderately increased ALP activity in comparison to entinostat (e.g. 5-fold increase versus about 30-fold increase respectively at 2.5 µM). Effective concentration of 50% (EC50) of MS023 was 5.8 µM, and it significantly delays HT-29 cell proliferation (GI50 was 2.3 µM). Importantly, MS023 had no effect on either ALP activity or proliferation of CCD-841 cells. Interestingly, MS023 reduced cell growth in four colon cancer cell lines, previously reported as irresponsive to SB treatment25: HCT-116, Colo-205, SW620, and HCT-15 (Table1). This suggests that MS023 effect was not cell line specific. Following formation of established spheroids (5 days), MS023, entinostat or vehicle (DMSO) were added and growth was monitored during 6 additional days. In order to detect dead cells, propidium iodide (PI) staining of the spheroids was perofmed shortly before imaging (Fig. 2b,c). While entinostat rapidly induced cytotoxic effect, MS023 showed reduced growth, but low toxicity. Thus, PRMT type 1 inhibition induces effects associated with cell differentiation in both monolayer and 3D culture.

In vivo activity:
MS023 efficacy in-vivo was examined using HT-29 xenograft model in nude mice. In order to calculate desirable frequency of MS023 injection, a preliminary experiment was performed, where cell growth medium containing MS023 was replaced 5 days later with a fresh one containing or not a second dose of MS023. The absence of MS023 led to restoration of the proliferative potential, while addition of a second dose kept the cells in low-proliferating status (data not shown). Therefore, the animals received 2 doses of the compound/week. The treatment started when tumors reached 6–7 mm diameter. MS023 treatment significantly delayed tumor growth (Fig. 8a) without any signs of toxicity. This data shows that MS023 was able to reduce tumor growth and proliferation in vivo through differentiation of malignant cells, demonstrating a tractable model of pharmacological manipulation of colon cancer differentiation, with clinical implications.
