In vitro

In vitro NCB-0846 blocks Wnt signalling and shows marked anti-tumour and anti-CSC activities. This compound binds to TNIK in an inactive conformation, and this binding mode seems to be essential for Wnt inhibition. It shows inhibitory activity against TNIK with an half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) value of 21 nM. It also inhibits FLT3, JAK3, PDGFRα, TRKA, CDK2/CycA2, and HGK (>80% at 0.1 μM). This chemical induces faster migration of TCF4 phosphorylated by TNIK within a concentration range of 0.1-0.3 μM and completely inhibits the phosphorylation of TCF4 at a concentration of 3 μM. Furthermore, it blocks the auto-phosphorylation of TNIK. It inhibits the TCF/LEF transcriptional activity of Wnt3a-treated HEK293 and HCT116 (carrying CTNNB1 mutation) and DLD-1 (carrying APC mutation) colorectal cancer cells. This compound reduces the expression of the Wnt target genes AXIN2 and MYC as well as that of TNIK, but the expression of CCND1 is not affected. It also reduces the expression of TNIK, AXIN2 and cMYC at the protein level. LRP6 and LRP5 are also downregulated by this chemical. It can inhibit cancer cell growth in vitro. This compound induces an increase in the sub-G1 cell population. It can downregulate the expression of putative colorectal CSC markers: CD44, CD133, and aldehyde dehydrogenase-1 (ALDH1), and reduce the proportion of cells showing high expression of CSC surface markers (CD44, CD133, CD166, CD29 and EpCAM). It also reduces the expression of mesenchymal markers (Slug, Snail, Twist, Smad2 and Vimentin). However, embryonal stem cell markers (Oct4, Nanog and Sox2) are not affected[1].
Cell Research Cell lines HCT116 cells
Concentrations 1 μM 
Incubation Time 4 or 24 h
Method HCT116 cells are cultured in the presence of DMSO (vehicle), 1 μM NCB-0846, or 1 μM this compound for 4 or 24 h and then analysed by immunoblotting with anti-phosphorylated TNIK, anti-TNIK, and anti-γ-tubulin (loading control) antibodies.

In Vivo

In vivo NCB-0846 suppresses Wnt-driven intestinal tumorigenesis in Apcmin/+ mice and the sphere- and tumour-forming activities of colorectal cancer cells. The body weight of mice (immunodeficient tumor xenografts) falls at the beginning of this compound administration, but gradually recover. The expression of Wnt-target genes (AXIN2, MYC and CCND1) in xenografts is reduced following the administration of this compound. This compound dose dependently reduces the multiplicity and dimensions of tumours that developed in the small intestine. It significantly suppresses the growth of the PDXs (patient-derived xenografts) established from the two patients in two more clinically relevant mouse models[1].
