BIX-01294 is an G9a Histone Methyltransferase inhibitor(IC50 : 1.9 μM).
BIX-01294 induced caspase-dependent apoptosis in human bladder cancer cells.?BIX-01294 stimulates endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress) and up-regulated expression of PMAIP1 through DDIT3 up-regulation.?Furthermore, down-regulation of the deubiquitinase USP9X by BIX-01294 results in downstream reduction of MCL1 expression, leading to apoptosis eventually[1].
On the first day, cells were seeded in 96 well plates.?Twenty-four hours later, BIX-01294 was added at the indicated concentrations in each well.?After treatment by BIX-01294 for another 24 h, we used 10% TCA to immobilize the cells and then evaluated the living cell numbers using the sulforhodamine B assay as previously described[1]
