| Targets |
Smoothened receptor (Smo), a cell surface receptor and key mediator of the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway. GSA-10 is a Smo receptor agonist.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
GSA-10 activates the smoothened receptor (Smo) with an EC50 of 1.2 μM in an alkaline phosphatase-based mouse mesenchymal cell line (C3H10T1/2) differentiation assay. It acts on Smo to promote the differentiation of multipotent mesenchymal progenitor cells into osteoblasts. GSA-10 does not recognize the classic cyclopamine binding site. The compound mediates Hedgehog (Hh) signaling. The effect on cell differentiation is inhibited by Smo antagonists (MRT-83, SANT-1, LDE225, M25) in the nanomolar range. GSA-10 is strongly potentiated by forskolin and cholera toxin.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, GSA-10 mediates Hedgehog signaling, which may have research implications for regenerative medicine. It promotes osteoblast differentiation and bone formation. The compound has been investigated for its potential in regenerative medicine applications, particularly in bone regeneration. Specific animal model data and dosing regimens are available in the primary literature but not extensively detailed in public search results.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
GSA-10 Smo receptor activation is assessed using in vitro cell-based assays measuring Hedgehog signaling pathway activity. C3H10T1/2 mouse mesenchymal cells are treated with GSA-10 at various concentrations (typically 0.01-100 μM) for appropriate time periods (e.g., 5-7 days for differentiation assays). Alkaline phosphatase activity is measured as a marker of osteoblast differentiation. GLI-dependent luciferase reporter activity is measured in cells transfected with a GLI-responsive luciferase construct. EC50 values are calculated from dose-response curves using nonlinear regression analysis. The effect of GSA-10 on Smo-mediated signaling is confirmed by inhibition with Smo antagonists such as MRT-83, SANT-1, LDE225, and M25.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular activity is evaluated in C3H10T1/2 mouse mesenchymal cells or other cells responsive to Hedgehog signaling. Cells are treated with GSA-10 at various concentrations (typically 0.01-100 μM) for appropriate time periods (e.g., 5-7 days for differentiation). Osteoblast differentiation is assessed by alkaline phosphatase activity assay, Alizarin Red S staining for mineralization, and expression of osteoblast marker genes (Runx2, Osterix, Osteocalcin) by qRT-PCR. Hedgehog target gene expression (Gli1, Ptch1) is measured by qRT-PCR. The effect of GSA-10 is confirmed by inhibition with Smo antagonists (MRT-83, SANT-1, LDE225, M25) in the nanomolar range. Potentiation by forskolin and cholera toxin is assessed in parallel assays.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo efficacy is studied in animal models of bone regeneration, fracture healing, or other Hedgehog-related conditions. GSA-10 is administered via various routes (oral, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, local injection) at doses determined from preliminary pharmacokinetic and tolerability studies. Osteoblast differentiation and bone formation are assessed by micro-CT, histology (H&E, Masson's trichrome staining), and immunohistochemistry for osteoblast markers. Hedgehog signaling activity is measured in target tissues by assessing Gli1 and Ptch1 expression. Specific protocols are detailed in the primary literature.

| Additional Infomation |
GSA-10 is a research tool compound for studying Smoothened receptor biology and Hedgehog signaling. It is not approved for clinical use. The compound has been investigated for regenerative medicine applications, particularly in bone regeneration. GSA-10 does not recognize the classic cyclopamine binding site, indicating it binds in a distinct pocket. Reference: Gorojankina et al., Discovery, molecular and pharmacological characterization of GSA-10, a novel small-molecule positive modulator of Smoothened. GSA-10 is strongly potentiated by forskolin and cholera toxin. The compound's ability to promote osteoblast differentiation makes it a valuable tool for understanding the role of Hedgehog signaling in bone formation and for identifying potential therapeutic strategies for bone repair and regeneration.
