Target Validation Information
TTD ID	T13795
Target Name	Neuronal acetylcholine receptor alpha-9 (CHRNA9)
Type of Target	Literature-reported
Drug Potency against Target	ACV-1	Drug Info	IC50 = 19 nM
Action against Disease Model	ACV-1	Drug Info	Stable MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines were established in which expression of the alpha9-nAChR subunit was inhibited using short interfering RNA. MCF-10A normal h uMan breast epithelial cells were established in which the alpha9-nAChR subunit could be conditionally overexpressed by removal of doxycycline from the culture fluid. Cell proliferation and soft agar assays and t uMor growth in nude mice were used as measures of cell transformation. All statistical tests were two-sided.	[1]
