Product Description
GNE-220 HCl is a novel, potent and selective inhibitor of MAP4K4 with an IC50 of 7 nM. Cell migration is a stepwise process that coordinates multiple molecular machineries. Using in vitro angiogenesis screens with short interfering RNA and chemical inhibitors, we define here a MAP4K4-moesin-talin-β1-integrin molecular pathway that promotes efficient plasma membrane retraction during endothelial cell migration. Loss of MAP4K4 decreased membrane dynamics, slowed endothelial cell migration, and impaired angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo. In migrating endothelial cells, MAP4K4 phosphorylates moesin in retracting membranes at sites of focal adhesion disassembly.
GNE-220 HCl (CAS#: 2448286-21-1) is a potent and selective small-molecule inhibitor of MAP4K4 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 4) with an IC50 of 7 nM. It is a research-grade chemical used to study cell migration, angiogenesis, and kinase signaling pathways. GNE-220 HCl is supplied as a hydrochloride salt with a molecular weight of 474.99 and a purity of ≥98%. This compound is intended for in vitro and in vivo research applications only and is not approved for human therapeutic use.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
GNE-220 HCl primarily targets MAP4K4 (also known as HGK), a serine/threonine kinase belonging to the GCK family of STE20 kinases. It also inhibits several other kinases with lower potency, including MINK (MAP4K6) with an IC50 of 9 nM, DMPK with an IC50 of 476 nM, and KHS1 (MAP4K5) with an IC50 of 1.1 μM. The compound shows selectivity for MAP4K4 over these related kinases. MAP4K4 is involved in regulating cell migration, cytoskeletal dynamics, and inflammatory responses. Inhibition of MAP4K4 by GNE-220 HCl disrupts downstream signaling pathways that control membrane protrusion and cell motility.
ln Vitro
GNE-220 also has the ability to inhibit a number of other kinases; its IC50 values for MINK (MAP4K6), DMPK, and KHS1 (MAP4K5) are 9 nM, 476 nM, and 1.1 μM, respectively. The sprouting morphology of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) is altered by GNE-220. In a dose-dependent manner, GNE-220 also decreased pERM+ retractile fibers. Additionally, GNE-220 increases the number of active INTβ1+ focal adhesions (FA) in a dose-dependent manner. [1]
GNE-220 HCl demonstrates potent in vitro activity against MAP4K4 with an IC50 of 7 nM in enzymatic assays. In human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), GNE-220 alters sprout morphology and reduces pERM+ retraction fibers in a dose-dependent manner. The compound also dose-dependently increases the number of active-INTβ1+ long focal adhesions (FAs). These effects are consistent with the role of MAP4K4 in regulating membrane dynamics during cell migration. The compound modulates the MAP4K4-moesin-talin-β1-integrin molecular pathway, which promotes efficient plasma membrane contraction during endothelial cell migration.
ln Vivo
GNE-220 HCl has been evaluated in in vivo models of angiogenesis and cell migration. In vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-stimulated angiogenesis models, inhibition of MAP4K4 using chemical inhibitors such as GNE-220 HCl reduces membrane dynamics and impairs endothelial cell migration. Short interfering RNA (siRNA) knockdown studies have been used in conjunction with GNE-220 HCl to validate the role of MAP4K4 in these processes. The compound is suitable for in vivo administration to study the functional consequences of MAP4K4 inhibition on physiological and pathological angiogenesis, though detailed pharmacokinetic parameters and specific in vivo efficacy data are limited in publicly available sources.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro enzyme/receptor binding (non-cell-based) assay for GNE-220 HCl typically involves a biochemical kinase activity assay using recombinant MAP4K4 enzyme. The assay measures the inhibition of kinase activity by quantifying the phosphorylation of a peptide substrate in the presence of ATP. IC50 values are determined by incubating varying concentrations of GNE-220 HCl with the enzyme and substrate, followed by detection using techniques such as fluorescence polarization, luminescence, or radiometric measurement. The compound is dissolved in DMSO and diluted in assay buffer to achieve the desired final concentrations. The reaction is initiated by the addition of ATP and terminated after a fixed incubation period. Dose-response curves are generated and fitted to calculate the IC50 value of 7 nM.
Cell Assay
The in vitro cellular assay for GNE-220 HCl is performed using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) cultured in appropriate endothelial growth medium. Cells are seeded onto extracellular matrix-coated surfaces and allowed to adhere. Following serum starvation to synchronize the cell cycle, cells are treated with varying concentrations of GNE-220 HCl (typically in the nanomolar to micromolar range) or vehicle control (DMSO). Cells are then stimulated with VEGF or other pro-angiogenic factors to induce sprouting and migration. Endothelial sprout morphology is assessed by microscopy, and retraction fibers are quantified by immunofluorescence staining for phospho-ERM (ezrin/radixin/moesin) proteins. Active integrin β1-positive focal adhesions are also visualized and counted. Dose-response relationships are established by analyzing morphological changes across different compound concentrations.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments with GNE-220 HCl typically utilize mouse or rat models of angiogenesis, such as the Matrigel plug assay, retinal angiogenesis models, or tumor xenograft models. The compound is administered via intraperitoneal (IP) or oral (PO) routes, with dosing schedules and concentrations determined based on preliminary pharmacokinetic studies. For angiogenesis studies, animals are implanted with Matrigel containing VEGF and test compound, and neovascularization is assessed after 7-14 days by hemoglobin content or CD31 immunostaining. In tumor models, GNE-220 HCl is administered daily or on a scheduled basis, and tumor volume is measured periodically. Endpoints include tumor growth inhibition, microvessel density, and analysis of signaling pathway biomarkers (e.g., phospho-ERM, integrin activation) in harvested tissues. Pharmacodynamic evaluations are conducted to confirm target engagement.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Comprehensive pharmacokinetic (PK) data for GNE-220 HCl are not extensively reported in publicly available literature. As a small-molecule kinase inhibitor, the compound is expected to have moderate oral bioavailability and reasonable plasma protein binding. GNE-220 HCl is soluble in DMSO (5.4 mg/mL) and water (5 mg/mL), enabling formulation for both in vitro and in vivo studies. For in vivo administration, the compound is typically formulated using appropriate vehicles such as PEG300, Tween 80, or carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) to ensure adequate solubility and stability. The compound should be stored at -20°C in a dry, dark environment for long-term stability, with stock solutions stable at 0-4°C for up to one month. Detailed parameters such as half-life, clearance, volume of distribution, and maximum concentration (Cmax) require further investigation.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Detailed toxicological data for GNE-220 HCl are not extensively documented in publicly available sources. As a research-grade chemical inhibitor, the compound is classified for research use only and is not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or human use. Standard safety precautions should be observed when handling GNE-220 HCl, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and working in a well-ventilated area. The compound should be stored according to the manufacturer's recommendations to maintain stability and prevent degradation. For in vivo studies, toxicity assessments should be conducted as part of the experimental design, including monitoring of body weight, general health status, and histopathological examination of major organs following compound administration. No specific toxicity data (e.g., LD50, maximum tolerated dose) are available from the current search results.
