R8-T198wt 是一种可透过细胞的羧基末端 p27Kip1 肽,通过抑制 Pim-1 激酶而显示抗肿瘤活性。
R8-T198wt is a cell-permeable carboxyl-terminal p27Kip1 peptide exhibits anti-tumor activity by inhibiting Pim-1 kinase.
背景
Cell-permeable peptide inhibitor of Pim-1 kinase, derived from p27Kip1. Inhibits Pim-1 phosphorylation of p27Kip1 and Bad; induces cell cycle arrest (at G1) and apoptosis in DU145 prostate cancer cells. Also inhibits Pim-1-dependent growth of DU145 cells in vitro and in vivo. Displays no effect on the growth of normal prostate epithelial RPWE-1 cells at concentrations of 10 and 20 μM.
