In vitro | PS-1145 blocks TNFalpha-induced NF-kappaB activation through inhibition of IkappaBalpha phosphorylation, and blocks the protective effect of IL-6 against Dex-induced apotosis. PS-1145 also inhibits paracrine MM cell growth and IL-6 secretion in BMSCs triggered by MM cell adherence. [1] In human primary CD4(+) T cells, PS-1145 abrogates cell proliferation and impairs the activation of NF-κB and AP-1 transcription factors by engagement of CD3 and CD28 coreceptor. [2] | ||
In vivo | In male Wistar rats with DMBA-induced skin tumor, PS-1145 (50 mg/kg, i.v.) enhances tumor cell apoptosis by up-regulating p53, activating caspases and down regulating NF-κB and VEGF factor, and thus induces the tumor progression. [3] |
