JK184 is designed to antagonize Hh signaling by inhibiting glioma (Gli)-dependent transcriptional activity in a dose dependent manner. JK184 significantly inhibitts proliferation of HUVECs with IC50 of 6.3 μg/mL after three days incubation. To evaluate anti-tumor effect of JK184, MTT assay is conducted in Panc-1 and BxPC-3 cells after administration with indicated concentrations of compounds, half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of JK184 (23.7 ng/mL in anc-1 and 34.3 ng/mL in BxPC-3). Claudin-low cell lines are more sensitive to JK184 treatment than are MCF10a, MTSV1-7, or HMLE-shGFP and HMLE-pBP cells, and JK184 induced a dose-dependent decrease in glioma-associated oncogene homolog 1 (GLI1) transcript and protein levels in these cells. Treatment with the IC50 dose of JK184 enhances the proportion of HMLE-shEcad cells that stained with Annexin-V, but are negative for propidium iodide (PI) (P<0.0001, t test).
