3-Methyladenine 是一种选择性 PI3KV 抑制剂，在 HeLa 细胞中对 ps34 和 PI3Kγ 的 IC50 分别为 25和60 μM。

3-Methyladenine (3-MA) is a selective PI3KV inhibitor, and the IC50s against ps34 and PI3Kγ were 25/60 μM in HeLa cells, respectively.

Although 3-MA shows some limited Vps34 preference in vitro, with an IC50 of 25 μM for Vps34 as compared with 60 μM for PtdIns3Kγ it is typically employed in cellular studies at a concentration of 10 mM, which can inhibit all PtdIns3Ks [1]. The treatment of cerebellar granule cells with either 20 or 10 mM 3-MA prevented both autophagosome proliferation and cell death, without affecting neuronal morphology nor protein synthesis [2]. Treatment with 5 mM 3-MA decreased the percentage of glucose-starved HeLa cells displaying GFP-LC3 puncta to 23%. Treatment of HeLa cells with 2.5 mM or 5 mM 3-MA for one day did not affect cell viability, whereas treatment with 10 mM 3-MA for one day caused a 25.0% decrease in cell viability. Treatment of cells with 2.5, 5 or 10 mM 3-MA for two days caused 11.5%, 38.0% or 79.4% decrease in viability, respectively [3].

In severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) group, the pathological change increased with time after modeling. Pathological change of the pancreas tissue in 3-methyladenine group was milder than those in the SAP group at both 12 and 24?h [4]. 3-MA pretreatment significantly aggravated neurological symptoms when compared with the SAH + vehicle group. a large number of dying neurons from the SAH + 3-MA group showed cell shrinkage, chromatin condensation at the nuclear membrane and nuclear and cellular fragmentation, which suggest that the neurons were undergoing apoptotic cell death [5].

Cells were seeded in an 8-well coverglass-bottomed chamber for 24 hours (6×10^3 cells per well). Images were acquired automatically at multiple locations on the coverglass using a Nikon TE2000E inverted microscope fitted with a 20× Nikon Plan Apo objective, a linearly-encoded stage, and a Hamamatsu Orca-ER CCD camera. A mercury-arc lamp with two neutral density filters (for a total 128-fold reduction in intensity) was used for fluorescence illumination. The microscope was controlled using NIS-Elements Advanced Research software and housed in a custom-designed 37°C chamber with a secondary internal chamber that delivered humidified 5% CO2. Fluorescence and differential interference contrast images were obtained every 10 min for a period of 48 hours. To analyze live cell imaging movies, the time-lapse records of live cell imaging experiments were exported as an image series and analyzed manually using NIS-Elements Advanced Research software. The criteria for analyses were described previously, and lagging chromosomes in prometaphase were defined as the red fluorescence-positive materials that lingered outside the roughly formed metaphase plate for more than 3 frames (30 min) [2].

All rats were fasted for 12?h with free access to water prior to operation. After anesthesia by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of 2% sodium pentobarbital (0.25?mL/100?g), they were laid and fixed on the table, routinely shaven, disinfected, and draped. The rat SAP model was induced by 0.1?mL/min speed uniformly retrograde infusion of a freshly prepared 3.5% sodium taurocholate solution (0.1?mL/100?g) into the biliopancreatic duct after laparotomy. Equivalent volume of normal saline solution was substituted for 3.5% sodium taurocholate solution in the sham-operation (SO) control group. The incision was closed with a continuous 3-0-silk suture, and 2?mL/100?g of saline was injected into the back subcutaneously to compensate for the fluid loss. 180 rats were randomly divided into four groups: (1) Acanthopanax treatment group (Aca group, n = 45) where the rats were injected with 0.2% Acanthopanax injection at a dose of 3.5?mg/100?g 3?h after successful modeling via the vena caudalis once, knowing that this dosage was effective as proven in our previous experiment; (2) 3-Methyladenine treatment group (3-methyladenine group, n = 45) where the rats were injected with 100?nmol/μL 3-methyladenine solution at a dose of 1.5?mg/100?g 3?h after successful modeling via the intraperitoneal route once, knowing that this dosage was effective as proven in the literature [6]; (3) SAP model group (SAP group, n = 45) where these rats received an equivalent volume of the normal saline instead of Acanthopanax injection 3?h after successful modeling via the vena caudalis once; (4) SO group (control, n = 45) where these rats received an equivalent volume of the normal saline instead of Acanthopanax injection 3?h after successful sham-operation via the vena caudalis once. The 45 animals in each of the four groups were equally randomized into 3, 12, and 24?h subgroups for postoperative observations [4].
