Specification
Description
Ro 08-2750 is a potent and selective Nerve growth factor (NGF) inhibitor that binds the NGF dimer (KD ~ 1 μM). NGF has potential effects on matrix turnover activity and influences the catabolic/anabolic balance of IVD cells in an adverse way that may potentiate IVD degeneration. Anti-NGF treatment might be beneficial to ameliorate progressive tissue breakdown in IVD degeneration and may lead to pain relief.

In Vitro Activity
Ro 08-2750, a small non-peptide molecule, was found to bind to NGF and dimer itself, which induces a concentration-dependent and time-dependent conformational change of NGF that depending on the cell types, cell growth conditions or combination form with receptors. This study found the decreased levels of β-catenin mRNA in the three cells induced by 100 ng/ml NGF can be up-regulated significantly by Ro 08-2750, K252a and LM11A-31.

In Vivo Activity
Using healthy mice, this study also reported no changes in liver enzymes 24 h after Ro treatment (Supplementary Fig. 8g). Although there was no change in leukemia latency in this very aggressive model, disease progression was assessed in both treated and control groups when control mice and treated mice succumbed to disease (day 19 post-transplantation). The treated group exhibited a significant reduction in spleen weights (Fig. 6e), white blood cell counts (Fig. 6f) and c-MYC levels compared with the control group (Fig. 6g). These data support the concept that targeting MSI in vivo could have therapeutic efficacy in AML.
