Biological Activity

Description Gambogenic Acid, identified from Gamboge, is an inhibitor of the FGFR signaling pathway in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and exhibits anti-tumor effects. Gambogenic acid acts is also an effective inhibitor of EZH2 that specifically and covalently binds to Cys668 within the EZH2-SET domain, and triggers EZH2 ubiquitination.
Targets
FGFR [1] EZH2 [2]
In vitro

Gambogenic acid as a novel agent that specifically and covalently bound to Cys668 within the EZH2‐SET domain, triggers EZH2 degradation through COOH terminus of Hsp70‐interacting protein (CHIP)‐mediated ubiquitination. Gambogenic acid significantly suppresses H3K27Me3 and effectively reactivated polycomb repressor complex 2 (PRC2)‐silenced tumor suppressor genes. Gambogenic acid significantly suppresses tumor growth in an EZH2‐dependent manner.[1]
In vivo

In xenograft mouse model, gambogenic acid derivative GNA002 significantly decreases the volumes of Cal‐27‐derived tumors, and reduces H3K27Me3 levels in tumor tissues.

Protocol (from reference)

Cell Assay:

[1]
  • Cell lines

    Head and neck cancer cell lines, humen breast cancer cell lines, mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs)

  • Concentrations

    0.2 -10 µM

  • Incubation Time

    24 h, 48 h

  • Method

    Cancer cells are treated with 2 μM GNA or GNA002 for 24 h. The cells are then harvested and re‐suspended with 500 μl of binding buffer. The cell suspension (100 μl) is incubated with various cell dye. The stained cells are analyzed with fluorescent‐activated cell sorting using the flow cytometry machine.
