描述 | Microtubules, part of the cytoskeleton that provides structure and shape to the cytoplasm of cells, are tubular polymers of tubulin formed by polymerization. Nocodazole is a standard anti-microtubule agent that interferes with the polymerization and now be mostly used as depolymerizing drug in basic cell biology research[8]. Nocodazole can be used as a high-affinity ligand for the cancer-related kinases including Abl phosphorylated, c-Kit, BRAF, and MEK. Furthermore, Nocodazole induces apoptosis in chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells, inhibits insulin-stimulated glucose transport and decreases apoptosis in some human colon carcinoma cells[9]. In vitro Tubulin Polymerization Assays, Nocodazole inhibited tumor cell lines including NCIH460, SKOV3, BT549,451LU, COLO-205 at 48h with IC50 values 68nM, 80nM, 69nM, 72nM, 88nM respectively, which was reflected by a decreased level of steady state turbidity in a dose-dependent manner[5]. To learn how the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) inhibitory is extinguished, 9A-Hec1-expressing cells exhibited a robust mitotic arrest after incubation in 5 mM nocodazole for 5 h. As comparison, WT-Hec1 was treated with a moderately low dose (300 nM) of nocodazole, which resulted in the loss of all non-kinetochore spindle microtubules but retention of kinetochore–microtubule[6]. In addition, nocodazole can also improve the CRISPR-mediated HDR efficiency, a 600-bp homology in both arms leads to high-level genome knock in, with 97–100% of the donor insertion events being mediated by HDR. The combined use of CCND1, a cyclin that functions in G1/S transition, and nocodazole, a G2/M phase synchronizer, doubles HDR efficiency to up to 30% in iPSCs, the results showed an additive effect on enhancing precise genome editing[7]. | ||
作用机制 | Nocodazole will bind to β-Tb and block polymerization, arrest mammalian cells in mitosis and release them into cytokinesis and G1 as well as mis-regulate mitotic kinases[8]. |
