In vitro

PLX4032 inhibits B-RAFV600E, C-RAF, as well as wildtype B-RAF, with IC50 of 31 nM, 48 nM and 100 nM, respectively. PLX4032 also inhibits several non-RAF kinases, including ACK1, KHS1, and SRMS, with IC50 of 18 nM to 51 nM. [1] In melanoma cell lines, the inhibitory effect by PLX4032 depends on B-RAF mutational status, because PLX4032 potently inhibits those harboring B-RAF V600 mutants, including V600E, V600D, V600K, and V600R, but not wildtype or other mutants. The IC50 values of PLX4032 on these cells, including MALME-3M, Colo829, Colo38, A375, SK-MEL28, and A2058, ranges from 20 nM to 1 μM. In these cells, PLX4032 (0.1 μM to 30 μM) also inhibits the phosphorylation of both MEK1/2 and ERK1/2. [2] PLX4032 is highly effective in the treatment of melanoma, for its ability of inhibiting B-RAFV600E. However, PLX4032 displays limited effect in colon cancer patients that also carrying B-RAFV600E oncoprotein. The reason for this is that, in colon cancer cells, B-RAFV600E inhibition by PLX4032 results in a rapid feedback EGFR activation, which compensates for the PLX4032-inhibited cell proliferation. [3]

Protocol

Kinase Assay:

[1]
- Collapse

RAF kinase activity measurements:

The kinase activities of wild-type RAF and mutants are determined by measuring phosphorylation of biotinylated-BAD protein. For each enzyme (0.01 ng), 20 μL reactions are carried out in 20 mM Hepes (pH 7.0), 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, 0.01% (v/v) Tween-20, 50 nM biotin-BAD protein, and 1 mM ATP at room temperature. Reactions are stopped at 5 min with 5 μL of a solution containing 20 mM Hepes (pH 7.0), 200 mM NaCl, 80 mM EDTA, 0.3% (w/v) bovine serum albumin (BSA). The stop solution also includes phospho-BAD (Ser112) antibody, streptavidin-coated donor beads, and protein A acceptor beads. The antibody and beads are pre-incubated in stop solution in the dark at room temperature for 30 min. The final dilution of antibody is 1/2000 and the final concentration of each bead is 10 μg/mL. The assay plates are incubated at room temperature for one hour and then are read on a PerkinElmer AlphaQuest reader. Mutant activities are the average of two different batches of purified protein assayed in duplicate in three different experiments.

  • Concentrations: 0–10 μM , dissolved in DMSO
  • Incubation Time: 5 days
  • Method:

    Cellular proliferation is evaluated by MTT assay. Briefly, cells are plated in 96-well microtiter plates at a density of 1000 to 5000 cells per well in a volume of 180 μL. PLX4032 is prepared at 10 times the final assay concentration in media containing 1% DMSO. Twenty-four hours after cell plating, 20 μL of the appropriate dilution of PLX4032 are added to plates in duplicate. The plates are assayed for proliferation 6 days after the cells are plated. Percent inhibition is calculated and the IC50 is determined from the regression of a plot of the logarithm of the concentration versus percent inhibition.
