product name SB431542
Description: SB431542 is a potent and selective small molecule inhibitor of ALK5 with IC50 of 94 nM in a cell-free assay, it is 100-fold more selective for ALK5 than p38 MAPK and other kinases. SB-431542 blocked the phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of the SMADs, intracellular mediators of TGF-beta signaling, with decreased TGF-beta-mediated transcription. Furthermore, SB-431542 inhibited the expression of two critical effectors of TGF-beta-vascular endothelial growth factor and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1.

In vitro activity: SB 431542 inhibits the activin type I receptor ALK4 and the nodal type I receptor ALK7, which are responsible for the phosphorylation of Smad2. SB 431542 has little effect on ALK1, ALK2, ALK3, and ALK6, which show phosphorylation of Smad1. SB 431542 is a selective inhibitor of endogenous activin but has no apparent effect on BMP signaling. SB 431542 could induce both Smad2/Smad4- and Smad3/Smad4-dependent transcription. In A498 cells, SB 431542 inhibits both TGF-β1-induced collagen Iα1 and PAI-1 mRNA with IC50 of 60 nM and 50 nM, respectively. In addition, SB 431542 inhibits production of TGF-β1-induced fibronectin mRNA and protein with IC50 of 62 nM and 22 nM, respectively. SB 431542 blocks the TGF-β-mediated growth factors, including PDGF-A, FGF-2 and HB-EGF, leading to an increase in proliferation of MG63 cells. SB 431542 also inhibits TGF-β-induced c-Myc and p21 WAF1/CIP1. SB 431542 significantly suppresses TGF-β-induced G1 arrest, leading to accumulation of cells in the S phase of the cell cycle in FET, RIE, and Mv1Lu cells. SB 431542 also inhibits TGF-β-induced epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in NMuMG and PANC-1 cells. SB 431542 significantly elevates the expression of CD86 in BM-DCs and that of CD83 within CD11c+ cells suppressed by TGF-β. SB 431542 is able to induce NK activity through functional maturation and IL-12 production of human DCs. Kinase Assay: SB 431542 is dissolved in DMSO at a concentration of 10 mM. The kinase domain of TGFβRI, from amino acid 200 to the C-terminus, and the full-length Smad3 protein are expressed as N-terminal glutathion S-transferase (GST) fusion proteins in the baculovirus expression system. Proteins are purified with glutathion Sepharose beads 4B. Basic FlashPlates are coated with 0.1 M sterile filtered sodium bicarbonate, pH 7.6, containing 700 ng of GST-Smad3 per 100 μL. Assay buffer contains 50 mM HEPES (pH 7.4), 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM CaCl2, 1 mM DTT, 100 mM GTP, 3 μM ATP plus 0.5 μCi/well ɤ33P-ATP, and 85 ng of GST-ALK5 with or without SB 431542. Plates are incubated at 30 °C for 3 hours. The assay buffer is removed by aspiration, and the plate is counted on a Packard TopCount 96-well scintillation plate reader. Cell Assay: To explore the effects of ligands, MG63 and NIH3T3 cells are seeded at a density of 8 × 104 cells/well in 6-well plates and starved (0.1% FCS for MG63 cells and 0.5% FCS for NIH3T3 cells) for 24 hours before ligand stimulation. Media containing various ligands are exchanged at 48-hours intervals. Cells are trypsinized and counted by a Coulter counter on days 2, 4, and 6 after ligand stimulation. To explore the effects of constitutively active receptors, cells are seeded at a density of 2 × 105 cells/well in 6-well plates. The next day, cells are infected with adenoviruses carrying various cDNAs at a multiplicity of infection of 100. Cells are trypsinized and counted on day 3. Cell proliferation assay is performed in the presence of 0.3 μM SB 431542. |
