• Hello Everyone,
  • I have a bioactive small molecule that target MDA-MB-468 (TNBC cell line) cells and induces robust cytotoxicity, but not effective in neither TNBC nor other normal and cancer cells of different origin. I found a significant rescue of cell death with CAPE and Luteolin but not with other 4 NF-kB inhibitors I had used in combination with the small molecule. moreover, I found significant rescue in small molecule induced cytotoxicity in knockdown of P65 but not in other subunits of NF-kB. I look for nuclear localization of p65 through western blot and confocal and find no significant change in localization but confirmed disruption of IkBalpha-p65 complex when treated with the small molecule.
  • So I'm excited about how I explain the small molecule induced cell death.
  • Either NF-kB showing pro-apoptotic function after treatment, But how?
  • Is there any cytosolic function of p65?
  • What are the possible signaling pathways involved in cytotoxicity induced by p65?
  • Any experiment suggestion that helps me to find out the mechanism involved.

Thanks.
