Background
Tenovin-1, a small molecule discovered by a cell-based screen, is a bio-active activator of p53 that elevates the levels of p53 protein, p53-downstream target p21CIP/WAF1 protein and mRNA and protects p53 from mdm2-mediated degradation with little impact on p53 synthesis. Tenovin-1 also exerts inhibition against human sirtuin 1 (SirT1) and sirtuin 2 (SirT2), two important members of the sirtuin family. Due to its insufficient solubility, an improved and water-soluble version of tenovin-1 has been found to decrease the peptide deacetylase activity of human SirT1 and SirT2 with values of 50% inhibition concentration IC50 of 21 μM and 10 μM respectively.

Protocol
Cell experiment: | Cell viability is measured by thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Cells are seeded in 96-well plates. When indicated they are treated with 10 μM Tenovin-1 (tnv-1) or are transfected with siRNAs. After the specified period of time, MTT solution (0.5 mg/mL) is added. The formazan crystals are dissolved in an extraction buffer (50% dimethylformamide and 20% SDS, pH 4.7). The absorbance (540/690 nm) is measured in a SunRise plate reader[4]. |
Animal experiment: | ARN8 melanoma or BL2 Burkitt’s lymphoma cells are injected into the flank of SCID mice and allowed to develop until tumors become palpable. Tenovin-1 (in 70% cyclodextrin) is administered daily (14 days) by intraperitoneal injection at 92.5 mg/kg and tumor growth is measured over a period of 18 days. Control animals are treated with 70% cyclodextrin. In the BL2 experiment, n = 12 for each treatment. In the ARN8 experiment, n = 14 for the control group and n = 16 for the tenovin-1 treated group. Growth measurements are averaged between groups and plotted[5]. |
