Thiostrepton (0.01-1000 μM; 48 hours) suppresses cell viability in A2780 and HEC-1A.
Cell Viability Assay
| Cell Line: | A2780 and HEC-1A cells |
| Concentration: | 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 100, 1000 μM |
| Incubation Time: | 48 hours |
| Result: | The IC 50 s are 1.10 μM in A2780 and 2.22 μM in HEC-1A, respectively. |
Thiostrepton (i.p.; 17 mg/kg) reduces the tumorigenicity of Ewing's sarcoma (EWS) cells. Tumor volumes in control mice have increased ~6-fold from the initiation of treatment, while their Thiostrepton-treated counterparts increase only ~1.7-fold, exhibiting a ~3.5-fold reduction, relative to controls.
| Animal Model: | Athymic (BALB/c nu/nu) nude mice bearing A4573 cells |
| Dosage: | 17 mg/kg |
| Administration: | Administered i.p. |
| Result: | Treatment inhibited the growth of EWS-derived tumors in vivo. |
