Target: Ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) upstream of the 20S proteasome (inhibits ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation without affecting 20S proteasome catalytic activities) [1]
HeLa cervical cancer cell viability IC50 = 2.0 μM (as determined by XTT assay) [1] |

| ln Vitro |
Treatment with RAMB4 (0-30 µM; 48 hours) led to a dose-dependent reduction in the viability of HPV16-positive SiHa and Caski cells and HPV-39-positive ME180 cervical cancer cell lines, respectively [1]. With an IC50 value of 2 µM, RAMB4 dose-dependently lowers the viability of exponentially developing HeLa cervical cancer cells [1].
In Vitro: RAMB4 (PTP1B-IN-9) treatment (5 μM for 6 hours) in HeLa cells caused accumulation of poly-ubiquitinated proteins, with GAPDH-normalized levels up to 3-fold higher than mock-treated cells [1]. RAMB4 (PTP1B-IN-9) at concentrations up to 10 μM failed to inhibit the chymotrypsin-like, trypsin-like, or peptidyl-glutamyl peptide hydrolyzing-like activities of purified 20S proteasomes [1]. RAMB4 (PTP1B-IN-9) treatment (10 μM for 8 hours) in HeLa cells caused accumulation of Hsp90 (approximately 2-fold increase by densitometry) [1]. RAMB4 (PTP1B-IN-9) produced a dose-dependent reduction in viability of HPV16-positive SiHa and CaSki cells and HPV39-positive ME180 cervical cancer cell lines, with minimal effects on primary human keratinocytes when tested at 0.1, 1, 5, 10, and 20 μM over 48 hours [1]. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Enzyme Assay: Purified 20S proteasomes were pre-treated with or without RAMB4 (PTP1B-IN-9) at escalating doses up to 10 μM for 30 minutes at 37°C. After treatment, fluorogenic substrates specific for three catalytic activities were added: Suc-LLVY-AMC for chymotrypsin-like activity, Boc-LRR-AMC for trypsin-like activity, and Ac-YVAD-AMC for peptidyl-glutamyl peptide hydrolyzing-like activity. The reaction was carried out at 37°C for 45 minutes in buffer containing 50 mM TRIS-HCl (pH 7.5), 5 mM MgCl2, and 1 mM DTT (final volume 100 μL). The reaction was quenched with 1% SDS, and fluorescence was measured with excitation at 380 nm and emission at 440 nm. Unlike Bortezomib, RAMB4 (PTP1B-IN-9) failed to inhibit any of the three proteasomal activities when tested up to 10 μM [1].
For measurement of proteasomal activity in living cells, exponentially growing CaSki cervical cancer cells were treated with RAMB4 (PTP1B-IN-9) at concentrations up to 20 μM for 4 hours. Cell lysates were prepared in NP-40 lysis buffer (0.1% NP-40, 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 5% glycerol, 1 mM DTT). Residual chymotrypsin-like activity was determined by adding Suc-LLVY-Glo substrate and measuring luminescence. RAMB4 (PTP1B-IN-9) treatment failed to inhibit proteasomal activity when tested up to 20 μM [1]. |

Cell Viability Assay[1]
Cell Types: Keratinocytes, SiHa, CaSki and ME180 Cell Tested Concentrations: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 µM Incubation Duration: 48 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Dose-dependent decrease in HPV16-positive viability SiHa and Caski cells and HPV-39-positive ME180 cervical cancer cell lines respectively had minimal effects on the viability of primary human keratinocytes, with IC50 similar to HeLa cells. Cell Assay: Cell viability was determined by XTT assay. Cervical cancer cells (HeLa, SiHa, CaSki, ME180) or primary human keratinocytes were seeded at 1,000 cells per well in 96-well plates and treated with RAMB4 (PTP1B-IN-9) at specified concentrations (0.1, 1, 5, 10, 20 μM) for 48 hours. After treatment, cells were incubated with XTT labeling mixture for 4 hours. Formazan dye was quantified by measuring absorbance at 450 nm using a spectrophotometric plate reader. RAMB4 (PTP1B-IN-9) reduced viability of cervical cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner but had minimal effect on keratinocytes [1]. For immunoblot analysis of ubiquitinated proteins, HeLa cells were treated with 5 μM RAMB4 (PTP1B-IN-9) for 6 hours. Total cellular protein (10-20 μg) was separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to PVDF membranes, and probed with anti-ubiquitin antibody. GAPDH was used as loading control. RAMB4 (PTP1B-IN-9) treatment resulted in clear accumulation of poly-ubiquitinated proteins compared to mock-treated cells [1]. For immunoblot analysis of Hsp90, HeLa cells were treated with 10 μM RAMB4 (PTP1B-IN-9) for 8 hours, and Hsp90 expression levels were detected by Western blot with anti-Hsp90 antibody, normalized to GAPDH. RAMB4 (PTP1B-IN-9) induced approximately 2-fold accumulation of Hsp90 [1]. For the 4XUbiquitin-Luciferase degron assay, HeLa cells were transfected with Ub-FL or control CMV-FL plasmid. Transfected cells were treated with RAMB4 (PTP1B-IN-9) at 20 μM for 6 hours, and luciferase activity was measured. RAMB4 (PTP1B-IN-9) induced weaker stabilization of the Ub-FL reporter compared to Bortezomib or RA-1 [1]. |

| Additional Infomation |
Additional Info: RAMB4 (PTP1B-IN-9) is a chalcone-based derivative lacking amino acid components, containing an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl system which is proposed as the molecular determinant for inhibition of ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation upstream of the proteasome. It selectively kills cervical cancer cells (HPV-positive) without affecting normal keratinocytes, regardless of HPV genotype (HPV16, HPV18, HPV39). The mechanism involves accumulation of poly-ubiquitinated proteins without direct inhibition of 20S proteasome catalytic activities, leading to unfolded protein responses including aggresome formation and Hsp90 stabilization. RAMB4 (PTP1B-IN-9) does not inhibit chymotrypsin-like, trypsin-like, or PGPH-like activities of purified 20S proteasomes at concentrations up to 10 μM, distinguishing it from Bortezomib [1].
