Background

Decitabine is a kind of deoxycytidine analog and an inducer of cellular differentiation. It is able to incorporate into DNA and form irreversible covalent bonds with DNA-methyltransferases at cytosine sites targeted for DNA methylation by increasing γ-globin expression through a posttranscriptional mechanism independent of DNA methylation. Decitabine has been shown substantial efficacy in reactivating epigenetically silenced tumor suppressor genes in vitro. In colon cancer cell lines, decitabine can increase the histone H3-lysine 9 acetylation: methylation ratio at the unmethylated hMLH1 and MGMT promoters in HCT116 and RKO cells, respectively. In T24 bladder cancer cells, decitabine can increase histone H3-lysine 9 acetylation and histone H3-lysine 4 methylation at the unmethylated p14 promoter.

Protocol

Cell experiment [1]:
Cell lines	Human and murine melanoma cells (A375 and B16).
Preparation method	The solubility of this compound in DMSO is >10 mM. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37°C for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while. Stock solution can be stored below -20°C for several months.
Reaction Conditions	Decitabine 0.5 μM added on Days 1 and 4 and images are obtained on Day 8.
Applications	Decitabine decreases melanoma cell line proliferation and induces morphologic changes of differentiation.
Animal experiment [2]:
Animal models	Mice bearing U2OS xenografts.
Dosage form	2.5 mg/kg intraperitoneally on Days 29, 31 and 33. On Day 37, mice are sacrificed.
Preparation method	Dissolved in saline (0.9% w/v NaCl).
Applications	Decitabine significantly reduces tumor xenograft size and lowers mitotic activity, increases the amount of apoptotic cells and bone matrix production. Decitabine also increases the expression of GADD45A, HSPA9B, PAWR, PDCD5, NFKBIA, and TNFAIP3 to ≥2-fold, which are pro-apoptotic genes [2].
Other notes	Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal.
