Sample solution is provided at 25 µL, 10mM.
Zebularine, a cytidine lacking the 4-amino group, is a DNMT inhibitor that inhibits DNA methylation[1]. Zebularine can cause DNA demethylation and enhance cGAS-STING pathway activity, leading to accumulation of DNA fragments in the cytoplasm[2]. Zebularine has been widely used in cell models to inhibit tumor growth and alter cancer cell gene expression[3].
In vitro, Zebularine treatment for 24 hours significantly inhibited the viability of HCCLM3, MHCC97H, and MHCC97L cells with IC50 values of 56.75µM, 59.72µM, and 64.93µM, respectively[4]. Treatment of MDA-MB-231 cells with 200µM Zebularine for 96 hours significantly inhibited cell proliferation, induced S-phase arrest, and resulted in decreased expression of cyclins B and D[5]. Treatment of A549 cells with 100µM Zebularine for 72h induced apoptosis, accompanied by loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, decrease of Bcl-2, increase of Bax and p53, and activation of caspase-3 and caspase-8[6].
In vivo, Zebularine treatment via oral administration at a dose of 100mg/kg every four days for 20 days significantly inhibited tumor growth in the BGC823 cell xenograft mouse model[7]. Daily intraperitoneal injection of Zebularine (225mg/kg) for 7 days reduced the fibrotic lesion area and inflammatory response in the kidney in a mouse model of unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO)[8].

Zebularine是一种缺失4-氨基基团的胞苷类似物,作为DNA甲基转移酶抑制剂可抑制DNA甲基化[1]。Zebularine通过诱导DNA去甲基化并增强cGAS-STING通路活性,导致细胞质中DNA片段积累[2],Zebularine已广泛应用于细胞模型中抑制肿瘤生长及改变癌细胞基因表达[3]。
在体外,Zebularine处理24小时能显著抑制HCCLM3、MHCC97H和MHCC97L细胞活力,IC50值分别为56.75µM、59.72µM和64.93µM[4]。使用200µM的Zebularine处理MDA-MB-231细胞96小时,可显著抑制细胞增殖,诱导S期阻滞,并降低细胞周期蛋白B和D的表达[5]。用100µM的Zebularine处理A549细胞72小时,能诱导细胞凋亡,伴随线粒体膜电位丧失、Bcl-2下调、Bax和p53上调,以及caspase-3和caspase-8的激活[6]。
在体内,每四天口服100mg/kg剂量的Zebularine连续20天,可显著抑制BGC823细胞异种移植瘤小鼠模型的肿瘤生长[7]。在单侧输尿管梗阻(UUO)小鼠模型中,每天腹腔注射225mg/kg剂量的Zebularine 7天可减少肾脏纤维化病变面积和炎症反应[8]。
| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | HCCLM3 cells |
Preparation Method | HCCLM3 cells were cultured in DMEM medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and antibiotics (0.1mg/ml streptomycin and 100U/ml penicillin) at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 24 hours. Subsequently, all HCCLM3 cells were seeded in 96-well plates (3×105 cells per well). After 1 day, the medium was removed, and medium containing different concentrations of Zebularine (0, 10, 25, 50, 75, and 100μM) was added, while the control group was treated with 0.05% DMSO. After 24 hours of treatment with Zebularine, MTT solution (5mg/ml) was added to each well and incubated at 37°C for 4 hours. Subsequently, absorbance was measured at a wavelength of 570nm using a microplate reader. |
Reaction Conditions | 0, 10, 25, 50, 75, and 100μM; 24h |
Applications | Zebularine treatment inhibited the cell viability of HCCLM3 cells in a dose-dependent manner. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Female BALB/c nude mice |
Preparation Method | BGC823 cells were injected into the flank of BALB/c nude mice (female, 4-6 weeks of age) and maintained under specific pathogen-free (SPF) conditions. Mice were randomly divided into two groups: a control group and an experimental group (100mg/kg; p.o). Each group contained five nude mice (at least six tumors per group; 1-2 nude mice per group were randomly sacrificed and used to establish the time course of expression). When tumor volume reached 100-150mm3, nude mice were treated by gavage with Zebularine (dissolved in 0.45% saline) every 4 days for 20 days. The control group was given 0.45% normal saline by gavage every 4 days for 20 days. Tumor growth was monitored by measuring tumor volume (TV), which was calculated using the formula: TV (mm3) = width2(mm2)×length(mm)/2. |
Dosage form | 100mg/kg; every four days for 20 days; p.o. |
Applications | Zebularine treatment significantly reduced tumor xenograft growth in mice. |
