KU 59403 (1 μM) enhances VP-16 (1 μM) cytotoxicity to a similar extent in HCT116 and HCT116-N7 cells, and in the p53 mutant SW620 cells and human breast cancer cell line, MDAMB-231, sensitisation is 11.9±4.7 and 3.8±1.8-fold respectively. Inhibition of IR-induced ATM activity by KU 59403 (1 μM) is approximately 50% in MDA-MB231 cells and >50% in HCT116 cells that have low ATM expression and activity.
Cell Viability Assay
| Cell Line: |
LoVo, HCT116 and SW620 (human colon cancer), and U2OS (human osteosarcoma) and MDA-MB-231 (human breast cancer) cells. |
| Concentration: |
1 μM. |
| Incubation Time: |
16 hours. |
| Result: |
Had at least 1000 times greater specificity for ATM over other members of the PI3K family tested.
Enhanced camptothecin cytotoxicity in both cell lines with greater enhancement being observed in the LoVo compared to the SW620 cells.
Significantly enhanced the cytotoxicity of fixed concentrations of VP-16 (0.1 and 1 μM) or NSC 123127 (10 or 100 nM) in these cell lines, with greater enhancement of VP-16 in SW620 cells and of NSC 123127 in LoVo cells.
