生物活性

Melittin is a PLA2 activator, stimulates the activity of the low molecular weight PLA2, while it does not the increase activity of the high molecular weight PLA2[1][2].

IC50 Target

PLA2[1]

体外研究
(In Vitro)

Melittin, an immunologically related PLA2 stimulating peptide from bee venom, increases the activity of the high molecular weight enzyme[1]. Melittin is a cytotoxic peptide from bee venom. Melittin exhibits toxicity against both A2780CR and A2780 cells, with IC50 values of 4.5 and 6.8 μg/mL, respectively. Melittin has natural anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory properties. It has also been shown to have diverse anticancer effects in several different cancer cell lines including those of gastric, breast, ovarian, liver, prostate, cervical, and lung origins. The mechanisms by which Melittin, an amphipathic haemolytic peptide, exerts its potential anticancer effects include inhibition of cell proliferation, induction of apoptosis, and direct necrosis. Melittin can also prevent EGF-induced cell invasion through its inhibition of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway, but this is primarily related to breast cancer cells[2].

Peptide Solubility and Storage Guidelines:

1.;;Calculate the length of the peptide.

2.;;Calculate the overall charge of the entire peptide according to the following table:

; Contents Assign value
Acidic amino acid Asp (D), Glu (E), and the C-terminal -COOH. -1
Basic amino acid Arg (R), Lys (K), His (H), and the N-terminal -NH2 +1
Neutral amino acid Gly (G), Ala (A), Leu (L), Ile (I), Val (V), Cys (C), Met (M), Thr (T), Ser (S), Phe (F), Tyr (Y), Trp (W), Pro (P), Asn (N), Gln (Q) 0

3.;;Recommended solution:

Overall charge of peptide Details
Negative (lt;0) 1.;;Try to dissolve the peptide in water first.
2.;;If water fails, add NH4OH (lt;50 μL).
3.;;If the peptide still does not dissolve, add DMSO (50-100 μL) to solubilize the peptide.
Positive (gt;0) 1.;;Try to dissolve the peptide in water first.
2.;;If water fails, try dissolving the peptide in a 10%-30% acetic acid solution.
3.;;If the peptide still does not dissolve, try dissolving the peptide in a small amount of DMSO.
Zero (=0) 1.;;Try to dissolve the peptide in organic solvent (acetonitrile, methanol, etc.) first.
2.;;For very hydrophobic peptides, try dissolving the peptide in a small amount of DMSO, and then dilute the solution with water to the desired concentration.

Cell Assay
[2]

Melittin is purified from bee venom by reversed phase liquid chromatography and reconstituted in sterile water to form a stock solution of 1 mg/mL before storage at -20 °C until required for analysis. Cell viability is assessed by an Alamar Blue (AB) cell viability reagent. Both A2780 and A2780CR cells are seeded at 1×104 cells/well in 96-well plates and incubated at 37 °C and 5% CO2 in a humidified atmosphere for 24 h. After this incubation period, the cells are treated with various concentrations of Melittin ranging from 0.5 to 14 µg/mL in 100 μL of medium, and re-incubated at 37 °C and 5% CO2 for a further 24 h. Triton X at 1% (v/v) and cell culture media are used as positive and negative controls, respectively. After this, AB is added at a final concentration of 10% (v/v) and the resultant mixture is incubated for a further 4 h at 37 °C and 5% CO2. Then, the plates are read at an excitation wavelength of 560 nm and the emission at 590 nm is recorded on a SpectraMax M3 microplate reader . Background-corrected fluorescence readings are converted to cell viability data for each test well by expressing them as percentages relative to the mean negative control value[2].
