Biological Activity

Description Gemcitabine HCl is a DNA synthesis inhibitor with IC50 of 50 nM, 40 nM, 18 nM and 12 nM in PANC1, MIAPaCa2, BxPC3 and Capan2 cells, respectively.
Targets
DNA synthesis (Capan2 cells) [1] DNA synthesis (BxPC3 cells) [1] DNA synthesis (MIAPaCa2 cells) [1] DNA synthesis (PANC1 cells) [1]
12 nM 18 nM 40 nM 50 nM
In vitro Gemcitabine induced NF-κB activity in BxPC-3, PANC-1, and MIA PaCa-2 cells and decreased the level of the NF-κB inhibitor IκBα in BxPC-3 and PANC-1 cells. Treatment of BxPC-3 cells with low dose Gemcitabine for 48 hours results in a dose-dependent increase in NF-κB binding. In contrast, NF-κB DNA binding is decreased in BxPC-3 cells treated with the higher Gemcitabine doses for 48 h; however, 24-h treatment with these higher doses increases NF-κB binding in BxPC-3 cells [2]
In vivo Intratumoral NF-κB activity is significantly elevated (1.3- to 1.8-fold) in the Gemcitabine-treated mice compared to the PBS-treated mice, suggesting that Gemcitabine also induces NF-κB activation. [2]
Features Gemcitabine has been used to treat pancreatic cancer and has demonstrated effective anti-tumor activity.

Protocol (from reference)

Cell Assay:[2]
  • Cell lines

    BxPC-3, MIA PaCa-2, and PANC-1 cells

  • Concentrations

    0.2 μM

  • Incubation Time

    24 hours or 48 hours

  • Method

    BxPC-3, MIA PaCa-2, and PANC-1 cells are seeded in a 96-well plate. After 24 hours, cells are treated with vehicle, DMAPT and/or Gemcitabine for an additional 24 hours or 48 hours. Apoptosis is quantified using the Cell Death Detection ELISA to detect the amount of cytoplasmic histone-associated DNA fragments and expressed relative to vehicle-treated cells.
Animal Study:[2]
  • Animal Models

    Athymic nude mice with MIA PaCa-2 cells

  • Dosages

    50 mg/kg or 100 mg/kg

  • Administration

    Administered via i.p.
