General description
Chemical structure: nucleoside
Application
5-Azacytidine may be used to induce in vitro cardiomyogenic differentiation of adult human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.[1] It may also be used to study the effects of 5-Azacytidine on the immune regulatory myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and regulatory T cells (Tregs).[2]
Used to study the effects of the DNA incorporated molecule on DNA methylation processes.
Biochem/physiol Actions
5-Azacytidine is a deoxycytidine analog and a demethylating agent.[3] It acts as a potential antineoplastic agent for acute myelogenous leukemia.[4] 5-Azacytidine activates repressed genes by inhibiting DNA methylation.[5] 5-Azacytidine also affects protein synthesis by altering the RNA function and stability.[4]
A potent growth inhibitor and cytotoxic agent; inhibits DNA methyltransferase, an important regulatory mechanism of gene expression, gene activation and silencing.
Potent growth inhibitor and cytotoxic agent; inhibits DNA methyltransferase.
Reconstitution
Reconstitute contents of vial with 10 mL sterile cell culture medium. Stock solution is sufficient to prepare 500ml medium. Final working concentration: 10 μM 5-azacytidine.
