| Targets |
FOXO4-DRI acetate targets the FOXO4-p53 protein-protein interaction. It specifically binds to the p53 transactivation domain, disrupting the complex formed between FOXO4 and p53. This interaction is essential for the survival of senescent cells, and its disruption leads to p53-mediated apoptosis. The peptide's selectivity for senescent cells is a key feature of its mechanism.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In senescent TM3 Leydig cells, FOXO4-DRI (25 mM; 3 days) acetate promotes apoptosis and causes nuclear exclusion of active p53 [1]. The senescence level of PDL9 cells is greatly reduced by FOXO4-DRI (25 μM; 5 days) acetate [2].
In vitro, FOXO4-DRI acetate selectively induces apoptosis in senescent cells by disrupting FOXO4-p53 binding. It has been shown to reduce markers of senescence and promote the clearance of senescent cells in culture. It has also been demonstrated to induce apoptosis in keloid senescent fibroblasts. |
| ln Vivo |
In naturally aged rats, FOXO4-DRI (5 mg/kg; ip; every other day for three administrations) acetate enhances the testicular microenvironment and alleviates inadequate testosterone secretion [1].
In vivo, FOXO4-DRI acetate (5 mg/kg; i.p.; every other day for three administrations) alleviates testosterone secretion insufficiency and improves the testicular microenvironment in naturally aged mice. It has been shown to clear senescent cells and improve age-related phenotypes in mouse models. It reduces senescence markers, improves physical function, and extends healthspan in aged mice. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cellular assays for FOXO4-DRI acetate involve measuring its ability to disrupt FOXO4-p53 binding using biophysical techniques such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or fluorescence polarization. The peptide is incubated with recombinant FOXO4 and p53 proteins, and the disruption of the complex is quantified.

Cell Viability Assay[1]
Cell Types: Senescent Leydig cells Tested Concentrations: 25 mM Incubation Duration: 3 days Experimental Results: decreased the viability of senescent as compared to normal TM3 Leydig cells. Apoptosis Analysis[1] Cell Types: Senescent Leydig cells Tested Concentrations: 25 mM Incubation Duration: 3 days Experimental Results: The apoptosis rate increased from 10% to 27%. Western Blot Analysis[2] Cell Types: PDL9 cells Tested Concentrations: 25 μM Incubation Duration: 5 days Experimental Results: diminished the protein levels of representative senescent markers, including p16, p21, and p53. RT-PCR[2] Cell Types: PDL9 cells Tested Concentrations: 25 μM Incubation Duration: 5 days Experimental Results: Enhanced SOX9 expression, and decreased MMP12 and MMP13 expression. In vitro cellular assays: FOXO4-DRI acetate is tested on senescent cells in culture. Apoptosis induction is measured by caspase activation and Annexin V staining. Senescence markers (e.g., SA-β-gal) are assessed to confirm senolytic activity. |

Animal/Disease Models: Naturally aged male C57BL/6 mice (20-24 months old)[1]
Doses: 5 mg/kg Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip)injection, every other day for three administrations Experimental Results: Increased serum testosterone levels. Increased levels of both 3β- HSD and CYP11A1. diminished interstitial SA-β-gal activity and lowered levels of senescence-associated proteins p53, p21, and p16. diminished the levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TGF-β. In vivo animal experiments: FOXO4-DRI acetate is administered to aged mice or mouse models of age-related diseases. Endpoints include clearance of senescent cells, reduction of senescence markers, improvement in physical function, and extension of healthspan. |
