HXR9 is a cell-permeable peptide and a competitive antagonist of HOX/PBX interaction. HXR9 antagonizes the interaction between HOX and a second transcrip-tion factor (PBX), which binds to HOX proteins in paralogue groups1 to 8. HXR9 selectively decreases cell proliferation and promotes apoptosis in cells with a high level of expression of the HOXA/PBX3 genes, such as MLL-rearranged leukemic cells[1][2][3]. | [in vivo]
HXR9 (10 mg/kg; i.v. via the tail vein; twice weekly) blocks tumor growth[1].
HXR9 (Initial dose of 100?mg/kg (subsequent dosing of 10?mg/kg twice weekly);
Intraperitoneal; twice weekly for 18 days) blocks A549 tumour growth in vivo[3]. | Animal Model: | C57black/6 mice (bearing B16 cells) | | Dosage: | 10 mg/kg | | Administration: | I.v. via the tail vein; twice weekly (~30 days) | | Result: | Tumors showed a significant degree of growth retardation. |
| Animal Model: | Athymic nude mice (bearing A549 cells) | | Dosage: | Initial dose of 100?mg/kg (subsequent dosing of 10?mg/kg twice weekly)
| | Administration: | Intraperitoneal; twice weekly for 18 days | | Result: | The tumours of HXR9-treated mice were considerably smaller than those of the control groups. |
