Product Description

GGTI-298 (GGTI298) is a potent geranylgeranyltransferase-I (GGTase-I) inhibitor with potential anticancer actrivity. GGTI-298 inhibits the G(1)-S transition and MAP kinase activation in transformed adrenocortical cells that overexpress Ki-Ras. GGTI-298 induces hypophosphorylation of retinoblastoma and partner switching of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors. A potential mechanism for GGTI-298 antitumor activity. Human tumor cells are stopped in G0/G1 by GGTI-298, which also causes p21(WAF1/CIP1/SDI1) to be induced without the need for p53. GGTI-298 induces G0-G1 block and apoptosis whereas FTI-277 causes G2-M enrichment in A549 cells.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Rap1A ( pIC50 = 3 μM ); Histamine H1 receptor ( Ha-Ras > 20 μM )
ln Vitro
Both RhoA parent (GGTI298) and ROCK parent (H1152) significantly reduce cAMP agonist-stimulated IK(ap), while night also reduces the colocalization of KCNN4c with the apical membrane marker malt agglutinin in T84WT cells [1]. Knockdown of NF-κB eliminates NF-κB activation, thereby sensitizing cells to activation of DR5 induced by the combined induction of GGTI298 and TRAIL. GGTI298/TRAIL activates NF-κB and inhibits Akt. Knocking out DR5 can prevent the reduction of IκBα and p-Akt induced by GGTI298/TRAIL, indicating that DR5 mediates the reduction of IκBα and p-Akt induced by GGTI298/TRAIL. In contrast, DR4 knockdown further promotes GGTI298/TRAIL-induced p-Akt reduction [2].
ln Vivo
In vivo model ileal loop experiments showed that when TRAM-34, GGTI298 or H1152 were injected into the loop together with cholera toxin, fluid volume concentration was reduced in a dose-dependent manner [1].
Enzyme Assay
The specified cells are lysed in Reporter Lysis Buffer and then put through a luciferase activity assay in a luminometer using the Luciferase Assay System. The relative luciferase activity is calibrated to the protein concentration.
Cell Assay
In 96-well cell culture plates, cells are seeded, and the following day, they are treated with the specified agents. The sulforhodamine B assay is used to calculate the number of viable cells.
Animal Protocol
Mice aged 6 to 8 weeks are used in the ileal loop experiment, which uses a modified rabbit ileal loop assay. The animals are gut sterilized, fed only water ad libitum, and fasted for twenty-four hours before surgery. A combination of xylazine (5 mg/kg body weight) and ketamine (35 mg/kg body weight) is used to induce anesthesia. A laparotomy is done, and non-absorbable silk is used to tie the 5-cm-long experimental loops at the terminal ileum. Each loop is filled with the following fluids using a tuberculin syringe equipped with a disposable needle through the ligated end of the loop as the ligature is tightened: pure CT (1 μg; positive control), saline (negative control), CT (1 μg) + TRAM-34 (varying concentrations in μM as shown in Fig. 7), CT (1 μg) + H1152 (1 μM), and CT (1 μg) + GGTI298 (variable concentrations in μM), a specific inhibitor of Rap1A. The mice are sutured back into their cages and the intestine is reattached to the peritoneum. After six hours, the loops are removed and the animals are sacrificed by cervical dislocation. The fluid from every loop is collected, and the ratio of the fluid volume inside the loop to its length (fluid accumulation ratio in g/cm) is computed to show how effective different inhibitors are.
