Experiment 1 Reporting the Activity Data of This PDC [1]
Indication Bladder cancer
Efficacy Data Half Maximal Inhibitory Concentration (IC50)
1.24 µM
Administration Time 24 h
Evaluation Method MTT assay
MOA of PDC
These findings suggest that GA-TAT-induced EJ cell apoptosis is mediated via ROS production. Our study demonstrated that GA-TAT enhanced the pro-apoptotic effect via increasing caspase-3 and caspase-9 processing and activities and decreasing the Bcl-2/Bax ratio, which were regulated by intracellular ROS.
Description
The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of GA-TAT at 24 h was 1.24 uM
In Vitro Model Bladder cancer Bladder cancer cell Homo sapiens
Experiment 2 Reporting the Activity Data of This PDC [1]
Indication Bladder cancer
Efficacy Data Inhibition rate
46.4% ± 4.86%
Administration Time 24 h
Administration Dosage 1.0 µM
MOA of PDC

Our study demonstrated that GA-TAT enhanced the pro-apoptotic effect via increasing caspase-3 and caspase-9 processing and activities and decreasing the Bcl-2/Bax ratio, which were regulated by intracellular ROS.
Description
However, after treatment with GA-TAT, the percentage of apoptotic cells was greatly increased to 46.4%±4.86%.
