Cayman Roslin-2

Roslin-2 is a reactivator of p53. Roslin-2 (111, 333, and 1000 µM) impairs the interaction between focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and p53 and restores p53 transcriptional activity. It reverses FAK-mediated suppression of the expression of p53-dependent p21, MDM2, and Bax in wild-type p53 HCT116 colon and MCF-7 breast cancer cells, but not in p53 mutant SW620 colon cancer cells, when used at concentrations ranging from 1 to 50 µM. Roslin-2 (10 µM) potentiates the pro-apoptotic effect of doxorubicin (Item No. ) and 5-fluorouracil (Item No. ) in p53^+/+, but not p53^-/-, HCT116 cells. It reduces tumor growth and activates p21 in p53^+/+, but not p53^-/- tumors, in HCT116 mouse xenograft models when administered at a dose of 60 mg/kg.
