Ganglioside GD1a is a sialic acid-containing glycosphingolipid that has been found in brain, erythrocytes, bone marrow, testis, spleen, and liver, as well as in serum lipoproteins.{54332,54333} It is shed into the tumor microenvironment from the surface of tumor cells, where it influences tumor-host cell interactions to promote tumor cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis.{25490} It functions as a toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) co-receptor in isolated human monocytes, colocalizing with TLR2 and enhancing the binding of type IIb E. coli enterotoxin (LT-IIb-B5) to TLR2 when used at a concentration of 20 µM.{25484} Ganglioside GD1a (20 µM) increases VEGF-induced proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), as well as induces vascularization in a Matrigel™ plug assay in mice when used at a concentration of 20 µM/plug.{25490} It accumulates in the CNS of patients with galactosialidosis, a lysosomal storage disorder.{43703} Ganglioside GD1a mixture contains ganglioside GD1a molecular species with C14:0, C16:0, C18:0, C20:0, and C22:0 fatty acyl chains.

  • A powerful effector in both the TetR and revTetR transcriptional regulator systems

    Anhydrotetracycline (hydrochloride) – 50 mg

    The tetracycline repressor (TetR) is a transcriptional regulator which normally binds tightly to its palindromic tetO operator DNA, blocking gene expression.{17508} Tet causes the repressor to dissociate from the DNA, allowing transcription to occur. A novel reverse TetR (revTetR) requires tetracycline as a co-repressor to bind tetO and block transcription.{17509,17510} Anhydrotetracycline (hydrochloride) is a powerful effector in both the tetracycline repressor (TetR) and reverse TetR (revTetR) systems, binding the Tet repressor 35-fold more strongly than Tet.{17508,17511} Moreover, anhydrotetracycline poorly binds the 30S ribosomal subunit, compared to Tet,{17512} so it does not act as a general inhibitor of translation and is a poor antibiotic. Perhaps related to this, the concentration of anhydrotetracycline that inhibits eukaryotic cell growth is more than a 1,000-fold above the dose that alters transcription through TetR.{17508}

  • A small molecule activator of stem cell renewal that allows the propagation of OG2 mES cells for at least 10 passages in an undifferentiated state; activity is mediated by the combined inhibition of RasGAP and ERK1 with Kd values of 98 and 212 nM

    SC-1 – 25 mg

    The maintenance of embryonic stem cells in culture typically requires feeder cells and various exogenous factors found in serum. Murine embryonic stem (mES) cells can be maintained in the absence of feeder cells and serum but require the leukemia inhibitor factor (LIF) and bone morphogenic protein (BMP) to prevent differentiation and promote self-renewal. SC-1 is a small molecule activator of stem cell renewal that allows the propagation of OG2 mES cells for at least 10 passages in an undifferentiated state.{14533} The activity of SC-1 is mediated by the combined inhibition of RasGAP and ERK1 with Kd values of 98 and 212 nM, respectively.{14533} Inhibition of RasGAP increases Ras signaling via the PI3-kinase pathway which promotes self-renewal, whereas inhibition of ERK blocks differentiation.
