Human cisplatin-resistant gastric cancer cell line was treated with SKI-II to study the mechanism of reversion of multidrug resistance.1
SKI II has been used to study the regulatory mechanism and signaling pathway induced by SKI II in inhibiting tumor growth.[1][2]
Biochem/physiol Actions
SKI II is a selective non-lipid sphingosine kinase (SK) inhibitor. IC50 = 0.5 μM; does not act at ATP-binding site. Displays no inhibition of ERK2, PI 3-kinase, or PKCα at concentrations up to 60 μM. Induces apoptosis and inhibits proliferation in several other tumor cell lines in vitro (IC50 = 0.9-4.6 μM).
Sphingosine kinase (SK) plays a pivotal role in regulating tumor growth and SK can act as an oncogene. Expression of SK RNA is significantly elevated in a variety of solid tumors, compared with normal tissue from the same patient. A number of novel inhibitors of human SK were identified, and several representative compounds were characterized in detail. These compounds demonstrated activity at sub- to micromolar concentrations, making them more potent than any other reported SK inhibitor, and were selective toward SK compared with a panel of human lipid and protein kinases. Kinetic studies revealed that the compounds were not competitive inhibitors of the ATP-binding site of SK. 4-[4-(4-chloro-phenyl)-thiazol-2-ylamino]-phenol (SKI-II) inhibitor is orally bioavailable, detected in the blood for at least 8 h, and showed a significant inhibition of tumor growth in mice with IC50 = 0.5 μM; SKI II does not act at ATP-binding site. Displays no inhibition of ERK2, PI 3-kinase, or PKCa at concentrations up to 60 μM.SKI II induces apoptosis and inhibits proliferation in several other tumor cell lines in vitro (IC50 = 0.9-4.6 μM).

Targeting the type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF1R) in breast cancer remains an ongoing clinical challenge. Oncogenic IGF1R-signaling occurs via activation of PI3K/AKT/MAPK downstream mediators which regulate cell proliferation and protein synthesis. To further understand IGF1R signaling we have
Lysosomes are the most acidic vesicles within mammalian cells and are promising targets for the treatment of breast cancer, glioblastomas and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Our previous studies have shown that chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells are also sensitive to

The non-dioxin-like environmental toxicant 2,2',4,4',5,5'-hexachlorobiphenyl (PCB153), member of a group of persistent organic pollutants wide-spread throughout the environment, reduces gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC), an event possibly associated with tumor promotion. Since very few studies have investigated the signaling effectors

Recent studies suggested an important contribution of sphingosine-1-phospate (S1P) signaling via its specific receptors (S1PRs) in the production of pro-inflammatory mediators such as Interleukin (IL)-1β in cancer and inflammation. In an inflammation-driven cancer setting, we previously reported that myeloid S1PR1
