Chlorotoxin is a polypeptide toxin isolated from the venom of the Israeli deathstalker scorpion[1-2]. Chlorotoxin selectively binds to the MMP-2 protein and chloride ion channels on the surface of glioma cells to inhibit tumor cell migration and invasion, while simultaneously blocking chloride ion currents to affect cellular volume changes. Chlorotoxin is applicable in the diagnosis, imaging, and therapeutic research of glioblastoma[3-4].
In vitro, Chlorotoxin (10nM-100μM) bound to superparamagnetic nanoparticles (NPC) and was applied to rat C6 glioma cells for 2 hours. Chlorotoxin significantly inhibited cell invasion and induced the internalization of lipid rafts containing MMP-2 and ion channels[5]. Chlorotoxin (0.05–5μM) was applied to human ER-positive breast cancer cells MCF-7, T47D, and ER-negative cells MDA-MB-231 for 12–72 hours. Chlorotoxin significantly inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in a concentration- and time-dependent manner, and downregulated the mRNA and protein expression levels of ERα, VASP, and MMP2 in the cells[6].
In vivo, Chlorotoxin (60μg/kg) was administered via intraperitoneal injection to tumor-bearing (SiHa cells) BALB/c nude mice, beginning when the tumor volume reached 50-100mm³ and repeated every 4 days. Chlorotoxin significantly enhanced the tumor-suppressive effect of cisplatin and downregulated the expression level of P-glycoprotein in tumor tissue[7]. Chlorotoxin (2μM; 10μL; single injection) was administered intrathecally to adult rats. Chlorotoxin significantly increased sciatic nerve injury and pain vulnerability in the rats[8].

Chlorotoxin是一种从以色列杀人蝎毒液中分离的多肽毒素[1-2]。Chlorotoxin可选择性结合胶质瘤细胞表面的MMP-2蛋白和氯离子通道来抑制肿瘤细胞迁移和侵袭,同时通过阻断氯离子电流以影响细胞体积变化。Chlorotoxin可用于胶质母细胞瘤的诊断、成像和治疗的相关研究[3-4]。
在体外,Chlorotoxin(10nM-100μM)结合超顺磁纳米颗粒(NPC)处理大鼠C6胶质瘤细胞2小时,Chlorotoxin显著抑制了细胞侵袭,并诱导MMP-2和离子通道的脂筏内化[5]。Chlorotoxin(0.05–5μM)处理人ER阳性乳腺癌细胞MCF-7、T47D细胞及ER阴性细胞MDA-MB-231,作用时间为12–72小时,Chlorotoxin以浓度和时间依赖性方式显著抑制细胞的增殖、迁移和侵袭,并下调细胞中ERα、VASP和MMP2的mRNA及蛋白表达水平[6]。
在体内,Chlorotoxin(60μg/kg)腹腔注射处理荷瘤(SiHa细胞)BALB/c裸鼠(自肿瘤体积达到50-100mm³后开始,每4天注射一次),Chlorotoxin显著增强顺铂的抑瘤效果,并下调肿瘤组织中P糖蛋白的表达水平[7]。Chlorotoxin(2μM;10μL;单次注射)经鞘内注射处理成年大鼠,Chlorotoxin显著增加了大鼠的坐骨神经损伤和疼痛易感性[8]。
| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, T47D cells (human breast cancer cell lines) |
Preparation Method | Cells were maintained in DMEM (MCF-7, MDA-MB-231) or RPMI-1640 medium (T47D) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) at 37°C, 5% CO2. Cells were treated with Chlorotoxin at concentrations of 0, 0.05, 0.5, and 5μM for 12, 24, 48, or 72 hours. |
Reaction Conditions | 0.05–5μM; 12–72h. |
Applications | Chlorotoxin significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of breast cancer cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Chlorotoxin also downregulated the mRNA and protein expression levels of ERα, VASP, and MMP2, and inhibited the activity of the ERα promoter reporter gene. Immunofluorescence showed that Chlorotoxin treatment reduced nuclear ERα expression, decreased VASP and actin protein levels, disrupted actin morphology, and decreased MMP2 expression. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Adult and juvenile Sprague-Dawley rats |
Preparation Method | Chlorotoxin (2µM; 10µL) was administered intrathecally into the subarachnoid space of the L4-L6 spinal cord once every 2 days. The treatment was applied in the context of established pain models (e.g., spared nerve injury). |
Dosage form | 2µM; 10µL; Intrathecal injection; Once every 2 days. |
Applications | Chlorotoxin significantly increased the pain vulnerability of juvenile rats in neuropathic, chemotherapeutic, and inflammatory pain models, abolishing the inherent lower pain vulnerability typically observed in juvenile compared to adult rats. |
