    Cayman Chemical ym155 survivin inhibitor
    Survivin inhibition reduces collective cell migration. VSMCs plated on cell culture plates were treated with various doses of <t>YM155</t> (c), 10 µg/ml of Mitomycin C (e), or DMSO (a vehicle control). (a) Total cell lysates were collected for immunoblotting. (b) The graphs show the expression of survivin in VSMCs treated with YM155, normalized to that in VSMCs treated with DMSO. n = 5 independent biological replicates. (c) and (e) A scratch-wound assay was performed, and images were captured at 0, 12, and 24 h post-treatment. n = 5–12 independent biological replicates (c) and n = 5 independent biological replicates (e). (d) and (f) Wound closure (%) at 12 and 24 h was calculated using the formula: [(Initial wound size) − (wound size at 12 or 24 h)]/(wound size at 12 or 24 h) × 100. ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001; ns, not significant.

    Survivin regulates FAK phosphorylation, actin organization, and stress fiber formation. (a) VMSCs were sparsely seeded on fibronectin-coated soft and stiff hydrogels and treated with either YM155 or DMSO. Cells were stained with DAPI, phospho-FAK (Tyr397) antibody and Alexa Fluor 647-phalloidin. Fluorescence images were acquired using a spinning disk confocal microscope with a 63× oil-immersion objective. The outlined boxes indicate the regions shown in the magnified insets. (b) A sum of slices projection of each cell was generated using Fiji/ImageJ, and FAK pY397 clusters were manually counted. 37 cells (soft-DMSO), 44 cells (stiff-DMSO), 33 cells (stiff-0.1 µM YM155), and 37 cells (stiff-2µM YM155) were analyzed from n = 3 independent biological replicates. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01.

    (A) Representative high-content fluorescence micrographs of nuclear-stained BOTs generated with KRAS-mutant HCT-116 CRC cells. The panels show the effect of treating BOTs with increasing concentrations (left to right) from 0 nM (vehicle) to 1,000 nM of bortezomib (top), <t>YM155</t> (middle), and ADT-007 (bottom). All images were acquired for multiple z-planes and resolved into single image using a LionHeart imaging system with a 4X objective after treating BOTs for 72h. Blue: Hoechst 33342 (total nuclei); Green: SYTOX Green (dead cells). Scale bar = 1000 µm. (B) Dose response relationship between drug concentration and total area occupied by cells derived from high-content imaging analysis. As the drug concentration increases, total cell area decreases for all three drugs. Drug potency was calculated based on reduction in area of Hoechst-positive nuclei and normalized to independent untreated controls. Data points represent mean ± SEM from n = 3 independent experiments, each performed in triplicate. Statistical analysis: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 in pairwise t-test against control for each drug concentration. (C) Confirmatory dose response from CellTiter-Glo luminescence assay expressed as relative luminescence units (RLU) was obtained in parallel with high-content imaging studies under identical treatment conditions. Data representation and statistical analysis as described above. (D) Dose response curves generated from CellTiter-Glo luminescence data using nonlinear regression in GraphPad Prism. Curves were fitted using four-parameter logistic regression. IC 50 values: ADT-007 = 0.3 nM; bortezomib = 5.8 nM; YM155 = 5.4 nM. *p < 0.01 for ADT-007 vs. bortezomib and YM155.

(B) Dose response relationship between drug concentration and total area occupied by cells derived from high-content imaging analysis. As the drug concentration increases, total cell area decreases for all three drugs.

(B) Percent of survivin positive vessels with respect to the total number of vessels in each experimental group. Values are expressed as mean ± SD. Statistical significance was assessed by the one-way ANOVA. Arrows indicate the localization of survivin in small pulmonary arteries.

    Article Snippet: In the groups treated with the survivin inhibitor, 5 mg/kg of YM155 (CAS 781661-94-7, Calbiochem), resuspended in saline solution, was administrated subcutaneously every day during the last week of SU5416/hypoxia exposure ( ).

    Effect of YM155 on survivin protein and mRNA expression in whole lung extracts of SU5416/hypoxia-induced PAH mice. (A) Immunoblots of the expression of survivin and the constititutive protein ß -actin in the different experimental groups (Veh-Nx = vehicle and normoxia; YM155-Nx = vehicle, normoxia and YM155; SU-Hx = SU5416 and hypoxia; SU-Hx-YM155 = SU5416, hypoxia and YM155). (B) Quantitative mRNA expression of BIRC5, the gene encoding survivin, related to Actb expression using RT-PCR in the different experimental groups. Values are expressed as median (IQR) and statistical significance was assessed by the Kruskal–Wallis test.
