Application

PTC-209 has been used as a B lymphoma Mo-MLV insertion region 1 homolog (BMI1) inhibitor to study its effects on:
  • the cell viability of canine osteosarcoma (OSA) cell lines
  • lipidated microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3B-II) and Sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1) protein levels in ovarian cancer (OvCa) cells
  • cardiac reprogramming efficiency in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF)

Biochem/physiol Actions

PTC-209 inhibits the expression of the oncogene BMI-1 (B lymphoma Mo-MLV insertion region 1 homolog), which encodes a polycomb group RING finger protein involved in cell cycle. PTC-209 lowers the self-renewal properties of colorectal cancer-initiating cells (CICs) The compound inhibits tumor growth, and reduces the levels of CICs present in colon cancer tumor xenografts in mice.
