ln Vitro |
Ipatasertib tosylate (10 µM; 12, 24 h) inhibits colon cancer cell proliferation through p53-independent PUMA activation in cell-based experiments[1]. Ipatasertib tosylate (1, 5, 10, 20 μM; 24 h/10 μM; 3, 6, 12, 24 h) upregulates PUMA expression in HCT116 cells in a time- and concentration-dependent manner[1]. Ipatasertib tosylate increases PUMA mRNA levels in wild-type, p53−/−, and DLD1 (p53 mutant) HCT116 cells[1]. Ipatasertib tosylate (10 µM; 24 h) induces apoptosis of HCT116 cells via the PUMA/Bax pathway[1].
Ipatasertib dose-dependently inhibits colon cancer cell proliferation (HCT116 IC₅₀ ≈10 μM) and induces apoptosis via PUMA upregulation, independent of p53 status. It activates FoxO3a and NF-κB, both binding to the PUMA promoter to trigger Bax-mediated mitochondrial apoptosis. FoxO3a is the primary regulator (ChIP assay shows stronger binding), while NF-κB is secondary. Synergistic effects observed with 5-FU, cisplatin, and regorafenib, further enhancing PUMA-dependent apoptosis. |
ln Vivo |
Ipatasertib tosylate (30 mg/kg; po; single daily for 15 consecutive days) showed PUMA-dependent antitumor activity in wild-type and PUMA−/− HCT116 xenograft mouse models [1].
Ipatasertib (30 mg/kg/day oral gavage) significantly suppresses HCT116 WT xenograft tumor growth in mice (tumor volume/weight reduction), but efficacy is diminished in PUMA-KO tumors. Immunohistochemistry confirms reduced Ki67 (proliferation marker) and increased cleaved caspase-3 in WT tumors only. |
Enzyme Assay |
Akt inhibition measured by TR-FRET assay using recombinant Akt enzymes and biotinylated Crosstide substrate.
Western blotting detects Akt inhibition (↓p-Akt S473), FoxO3a activation (↓p-FoxO3a S253), NF-κB activation (↑p-p65 S536), and PUMA/Bax expression. ChIP assay confirms FoxO3a/NF-κB binding to PUMA promoter. |

Additional Infomation |
Mechanism: ATP-competitive pan-Akt inhibitor blocking downstream signaling.
Clinical indications: Phase II/III trials for triple-negative breast/prostate cancers (e.g., IPATunity130). Tosylate salt selected for optimal solubility (0.5 mg/mL free base vs 8.7 mg/mL tosylate). Key differentiator: Enables in vivo target engagement studies via pPRAS40 suppression as PD biomarker. Colon cancer is one of the three common malignant tumors, with a lower survival rate. Ipatasertib, a novel highly selective ATP-competitive pan-Akt inhibitor, shows a strong antitumor effect in a variety of carcinoma, including colon cancer. However, there is a lack of knowledge about the precise underlying mechanism of clinical therapy for colon cancer. We conducted this study to determine that ipatasertib prevented colon cancer growth through PUMA-dependent apoptosis. Ipatasertib led to p53-independent PUMA activation by inhibiting Akt, thereby activating both FoxO3a and NF-κB synchronously that will directly bind to PUMA promoter, up-regulating PUMA transcription and Bax-mediated intrinsic mitochondrial apoptosis. Remarkably, Akt/FoxO3a/PUMA is the major pathway while Akt/NF-κB/PUMA is the secondary pathway of PUMA activation induced by ipatasertib in colon cancer. Knocking out PUMA eliminated ipatasertib-induced apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo (xenografts). Furthermore, PUMA is also indispensable in combinational therapies of ipatasertib with some conventional or novel drugs. Collectively, our study demonstrated that PUMA induction by FoxO3a and NF-κB is a critical step to suppress the growth of colon cancer under the therapy with ipatasertib, which provides some theoretical basis for clinical assessment. |
