General description
A cell-permeable dioxotetrahydroquinoxaline compound that mimics uridine monophosphate for affinity interaction at the Argonaute-2 (Ago2) Mid domain (KD = 126 µM) and effectively inhibits Ago2 cellular miRNA loading in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) NB4 cultures (% inhibition by RIP = 79%/miR-107, 73%/let-7a, 73%/miR-223, 68%/miR-26a, 53%/miR-60a; 100 nM for 48 h) without affecting cellular Ago2 stability. Consistent with the involvement of Ago2 in heterochromatic miR-155HG silencing, BCI-137 is reported to decrease miR-155HG promoter region-associated Ago2 with a concomitant acetylation induction of the promoter region-associated histone H4 (70% reduced Ago2 association and 300% enhanced H4 acetylation, respectively, by ChIP; 10 µM). Likewise, Ago2 inhibition by BCI-137 is shown to boost Retinoic Acid-(RA, Cat. no. 554720) induced NB4 granulocyte differentiation as a result of greatly upregulated expression of the differentiation-related miRNAs (140% and 255% increased miR-26a and miR-223 level, respectively, compared to 100 nM RA stimulation alone for 96 h) without affecting NB4 proliferation or viability (up to 10 µM and 96 h with or without 100 nM RA stimulation).
