Product Description

In vitro, Compound 401 targets mTOR but not PI3K and is a potent synthetic inhibitor of DNA-dependent protein kinase (IC50 = 0.28 M for DNA-PK). To test the cellular impact of mTOR inhibition without confounding side effects on PI3K, compound 401 was employed. When cells were treated with 401, the phosphorylation of the Akt Ser(473) and ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 Thr(389) sites that were altered by the mTOR-Rictor and mTOR-Rictor complexes was prevented. In contrast, Akt Thr(308) phosphorylation, which is reliant on PI3K, was not directly inhibited. In cells lacking DNA-PK, comparable results were also seen. TSC1+/+ cells were resistant to 401, but it inhibited the proliferation of TSC1-/- fibroblasts. Long-term treatment with 401 did not increase the level of phosphorylated Akt Ser(473), in contrast to rapamycin, in TSC1-/- cells. The fact that the level of apoptosis increased in the presence of 401 but not rapamycin may be due to the fact that increased Akt activity encourages survival. These findings imply that mTOR kinase inhibitors may be more efficient than rapamycins in preventing the development of TSC hamartomas and other tumors that depend on increased mTOR activity. Numerous human tumors, such as hamartomas connected to tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), have hyperactive mTOR signaling. LY294002 is one of many small molecules that inhibits mTOR kinase activity while also inhibiting phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) at comparable concentrations.

Targets
DNA-PK (IC50 = 0.28 μM); mTOR (IC50 = 5.3 μM)
ln Vitro
Compound 401 is a potent inhibitor of DNA-PK (IC50=0.28 μM). Compound 401 reportedly performs poorly in vitro as an inhibitor of PI3K, ATM, and ATR but is effective against mTOR. mTOR is active against compound 401 (IC50=5.3 μM), but p110/p85 PI3K is not (IC50>100 μM). When cells are exposed to Compound 401, these sites—ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 Thr389 and Akt Ser473—that have been altered by the mTOR-Rictor and mTOR-Raptor complexes are no longer phosphorylated. However, Akt Thr308 phosphorylation, which is PI3K-dependent, is not directly inhibited. Cells lacking DNA-PK show a similar pattern of behavior. Compound 401 inhibits endogenous or immunoprecipitated epitope-tagged mTOR in Raptor immunoprecipitates. At 5 μM or 10 μM, respectively, of compound 401, inhibition of 67% or 78% is obtained in both cases. Contrarily, dose response curves reveal that Compound 401 exhibits only modest inhibition of the p110α/p85α or p110β/p85α PI3K complexes at these concentrations. TSC1+/+ cells are resistant to Compound 401's proliferative inhibitory effects on TSC1-/- fibroblasts[1].
Enzyme Assay
FreeStyle 293-F cells are transfected with cDNA for AU1-mTOR using 293fectin. The cells are lysed two days later, and mTOR immunoprecipitates are made using AU1 antibody. Raptor antibody can also be used to immunoprecipitate the mTORC1 complex from untransfected cells. As a substrate, glutathione S-transferase (GST)-4E-BP1 expressed by bacteria is used to measure the kinase activity in the immunoprecipitates in the presence of vehicle (DMSO) or Compound 401 (1, 5 and 10 M). Samples are subjected to SDS-PAGE after kinase reactions are stopped by boiling them in SDS sample buffer. Autoradiography can identify phosphorylated 4E-BP1. Scintillation counting is used to measure the radioactivity in the bands[1].
