 Use of SKI-178


SKI-178 is a potent sphingosine kinase-1 (SphK1) and SphK2 inhibitor. SKI-178 is cytotoxic at IC50 concentrations ranging from 1.8 to 0.1 μM in both drug sensitive and multi-drug resistant cancer cell lines (i.e., MTR3, NCI-ADR and HL60/VCR). SKI-178 induces apoptosis in a CDK1-dependent manner in human acute myeloid leukemia cell lines[1][2].

In Vitro SKI-178 (5 μM; 24 hours)-induced apoptotic cell death correlates with prolonged Bcl-2 phosphorylation[1]. Apoptosis Analysis[1] Cell Line: HL-60 cells Concentration: 5 μM Incubation Time: 24 hours Result: JNK activity (indicated by phosphorylation at Thr183/Tyr185) increased in a time-dependent manner starting as early as 2 hours continued to increase for at least 24 hours. There was a concomitant increase in apoptotic cell death indicated by the cleavage of caspase-7. Bcl-2 phosphorylation at Ser70 increased with time in response to SKI-178 treatment, reaching maximal levels at 8 hours, which was consistent with the timing of caspase-7 activation.
In Vivo SKI-178 (20mg/kg; retro-orbital injection under isoflurane anesthesia) inhibits leukemic progression in the MLL-AF9 model[3]. Animal Model: MLL-AF9 mouse model (leukemic mice)[3] Dosage: 20 mg/kg Administration: Retro-orbital injection under isoflurane anesthesia; three times per week for 1 and 3 weeks Result: White blood cell (WBC) counts decreased from their initial 104 cells/μL levels and continued to decline after 3 weeks of treatment until they reached normal levels (~4×103 cells/μL).
