General description

Bleomycin Sulfate is an antineoplastic antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces verticillus. It is recommended for use as a cell culture agent at 10-100 μg/mL.
Chemical structure: glycopeptide

Application

Bleomycin Sulfate is an atineoplastic antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces verticillus. It is recommended for use as a cell culture agent at 10-100 μg/mL.
Bleomycin sulfate from Streptomyces verticillus has been used:
  • to study the impact of telomere shortening in lung fibrosis
  • to induce lung injury and study its effect on CEACAM6 expression
  • as a DNA-alkylating agent to induce lung injury
  • study its effect on CEACAM6 expression
  • to cause lung injury
  • subsequent fibrosis in animals

Biochem/physiol Actions

Bleomycin sulfate binds to DNA, causes ssDNA scission at specific base sequences and inhibits DNA synthesis. This inhibitory action requires bleomycin to bind oxygen and a metal ion. It can also cleave RNA, to a lesser degree but more selectively. It acts as an inducer and regulator of apoptosis and inhibits tumor angiogenesis.

Preparation Note

The product is soluble in water in water at 20 mg/mL and is active for several days. A solution of 2 units/mL in 0.1 M neutral potassium phosphate should be used within 14 days. A solution is active for three months at 3 units/mL in normal saline.
This product is a mixture of glycopeptides antibiotics containing Bleomycin A2 (70%) and B2(30%). Bleomycins differ from each other in the terminal amine and show varying biological activity.

세포 주기 연구를 위한 생체 활성 저분자

증식하는 세포에서 세포 주기는 4단계로 구성됩니다. Gap 1(G1)은 유사분열과 세포 성장을 특징으로 하는 DNA 복제 사이의 기간입니다. DNA 복제는 합성(S)기에 일어나며, 세포 분열을 위한 성장 및 준비를 하는 Gap 2(G2)가 뒤따릅니다. 이 세 단계는 함께 세포주기의 간기 단계를 구성합니다. 간기 이후에 분열(M)기가 뒤따릅니다.
