FKL-137 (0.001-10 μM; 24-72 hours) can effectively inhibit the proliferation of HEL and K562 erythroleukemia cells, and its safety against normal LX-2 hepatocytes is relatively high compared with HepG2 liver cancer cells [1]. FKL-137 (0.1-0.4 μM; 48 hours) can induce apoptotic nuclear changes in HEL and K562 erythroleukemia cells [1]. FKL-137 (0.1-0.4 μM; 48 hours) can induce apoptosis in HEL and K562 erythroleukemia cells in a dose-dependent manner. Significant apoptotic cell populations were detected in K562 cells at all tested concentrations, and significant apoptotic cell populations were also detected in HEL cells at concentrations of 0.2-0.4 μM [1]. FKL-137 (0.1–0.4 μM; 48 h) modulates the expression of apoptosis-related proteins in HEL and K562 erythroleukemia cells by upregulating Bax and Cleaved-PARP and downregulating Bcl-2 and PARP [1]. FKL-137 (0.1–0.4 μM; 48 h) downregulates the expression of glucose metabolism-related proteins HK2, PKM2, and LDH in HEL and K562 erythroleukemia cells [1]. FKL-137 (0.1–0.4 μM; 48 h) dose-dependently downregulates the protein levels of PI3K, p-PI3K, AKT, and p-AKT in HEL and K562 erythroleukemia cells [1]. FKL-137 (0.1-0.4 μM; 6-24 h) inhibited glucose uptake and lactate secretion in HEL and K562 erythroleukemia cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner, with significant effects observed as early as 6 h [1]. FKL-137 (0.001-10 μM; 2 h) at concentrations of 0.01-1 μM improved the thermostability of GLUT1 in K562 erythroleukemia cells without altering the total GLUT1 protein level [1]. FKL-137 (0-0.6 μM; 6 h) inhibited GLUT1-mediated glucose uptake in K562 erythroleukemia cells with an IC50 value of 0.15 μM, and its inhibitory effect was weakened in high glucose medium, confirming its competitive targeting of GLUT1 [1]. FKL-137 (0.1–0.4 μM) dose-dependently reduced GLUT1 expression in cultured HEL erythroleukemia cells[1]. Compared with the negative control group, FKL-137 (0.001–10 μM; 48–72 h) showed significantly stronger dose- and time-dependent antiproliferative effects on GLUT1 knockdown K562 erythroleukemia cells at 72 h[1]. FKL-137 (0.1–0.4 μM; 6–24 h) further inhibited glucose uptake and lactate secretion in GLUT1 knockdown K562 erythroleukemia cells, with significant effects observed within 12 h[1]. FKL-137 (0.1–0.4 μM; 48 h) regulated the compensatory upregulation of glucose metabolism-related proteins HK2 and LDH in GLUT1 knockdown K562 erythroleukemia cells[1].

FKL-137 (1-10 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; once every 48 hours; for a total of 7 times) can dose-dependently increase hematocrit, reduce splenomegaly and organ ratio, improve histopathological damage, reduce splenic glucose and lactate levels, and downregulate metabolic proteins in Fr-MuLV-induced erythroleukemia mice, with the 10 mg/kg dose producing the most significant effect (hematocrit, spleen weight and glucose content p<0.001 compared with the model group)[1].

Cell Types: Human erythroleukemia HEL cells, human erythroleukemia K562 cells, human normal hepatic stellate cells LX-2 cells, human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells Tested Concentrations: 0.001 μM; 0.01 μM; 0.1 μM; 1 μM; 10 μM Incubation Duration: 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours Experimental Results: It showed significant, time- and dose-dependent inhibitory effects on the proliferation of HEL and K562 cells. In HEL cells, the IC50 values were 0.6 μmol/L (24 hours), 0.25 μmol/L (48 hours), and 0.1 μmol/L (72 hours), respectively. In K562 cells, the IC50 values were 0.8 μmol/L (24 h), 0.4 μmol/L (48 h), and 0.2 μmol/L (72 h), respectively. The hepatotoxicity safety index values were 1.65 (24 h), 1.66 (48 h), and 2.29 (72 h), respectively, indicating that it has relative safety. Apoptosis Analysis [1] Cell Types: Human erythroleukemia HEL cells, Human erythroleukemia K562 cells Tested Concentrations: 0.1 μM; 0.2 μM; 0.4 μM Incubation Duration: 48 hours Experimental Results: Characteristic apoptotic morphological changes, including nuclear condensation, nuclear fragmentation, and chromatin marginalization, were induced in both HEL and K562 cells. The effect was enhanced with increasing compound concentration. The number of apoptotic cells increased in a dose-dependent manner in both cell lines. In HEL cells, concentrations of 0.2 μM and 0.4 μM significantly increased the early and late apoptosis rates. At all tested concentrations, the early and late apoptosis rates were significantly increased, with the most significant effect observed at 0.4 μM in K562 cells. Western Blot Analysis [1] Cell Types: Human erythroleukemia HEL cells, Human erythroleukemia K562 cells Tested Concentrations: 0.1 μM; 0.2 μM; 0.4 μM Incubation Duration: 48 hours Experimental Results: Compared with the DMSO control group, the expression of pro-apoptotic proteins Bax and Cleaved-PARP in HEL and K562 cells was upregulated in a dose-dependent manner. Compared with the DMSO control group, the expression of anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and full-length PARP protein in HEL and K562 cells was downregulated. Compared with the DMSO control group, the expression of glucose metabolism-related proteins HK2, PKM2 and LDH in HEL and K562 cells was downregulated in a dose-dependent manner. The protein levels of PI3K, p-PI3K, AKT, and p-AKT in HEL and K562 cells were downregulated in a dose-dependent manner.

Doses: 1 mg/kg; 5 mg/kg; 10 mg/kg Route of Administration: Intraperitoneal injection; every 48 hours; 7 doses in total Experimental Results: Hematocrit increased to approximately 42% at 1 mg/kg, to approximately 43% at 5 mg/kg, and to approximately 55% at 10 mg/kg. Spleen weight decreased to approximately 0.9 g at 1 mg/kg, to approximately 0.4 g at 5 mg/kg, and to approximately 0.2 g at 10 mg/kg. All doses significantly reduced the organ proportions of the liver and spleen; no significant changes were observed in the organ proportions of the heart, lungs, or kidneys. Compared with the model group, pathological mitotic figures and tumor cell infiltration foci were significantly reduced in spleen tissue in all dose groups. Compared with the model group, leukocyte infiltration was significantly reduced in liver tissue in all dose groups; no significant histopathological changes were observed in heart, lung, or kidney tissues. In the 1 mg/kg dose group, spleen glucose levels decreased to approximately 0.22 mmol/g and lactate levels decreased to approximately 0.28 mmol/g; in the 5 mg/kg dose group, spleen glucose levels decreased to approximately 0.12 mmol/g and lactate levels decreased to approximately 0.3 mmol/g; and in the 10 mg/kg dose group, spleen glucose levels decreased to approximately 0.08 mmol/g and lactate levels decreased to approximately 0.3 mmol/g. Compared with the model group, the expression of HK2 and LDH proteins was downregulated in spleen tissue in all dose groups. |
