BAY-598 treatment blocks in vitro methylation of MAPKAPK3 by SMYD2 but has no activity against the SMYD2-related KMT SMYD3. BAY-598 treatment reduces the growth of Kras;p53 mutant PDAC cells after 9 d in culture but has little impact on the growth of Kras;p53;Smyd2 mutant cells[1].
Kinase Assay
For SMYD2 inhibition, 10 µL of BAY-598 or DMSO is first incubated with recombinant SMYD2 in methylation buffer reaction for 1 h at 30°C, and then 2 µCi of 3H-AdoMet is added to the mix and incubated overnight at 30°C. The reaction mixture is resolved by SDS-PAGE followed by autoradiography, Coomassie stain, or MS analysis[1].
Cell Assay
Cells are seeded in 96-well plates at 2000 cells per well (optimum density for growth) in a total volume of 100 μL of medium containing 2% fetal bovine serum. Serially diluted BAY-598 in 100 μL of medium is added to the cells 12 h later. After 72 h of incubation, cell viability is assessed by an MTT assay according to the manufacturer's instructions[1].
