Product Description

MLS2052 (also known as BIO, GSK3 Inhibitor IX, 6-Bromoindirubin-3'-oxime) is a novel, potent, cell-permeable bis-indolo and specific inhibitor of GSK-3 (glycogen synthase kinase-3) with potential antitumor activity. In a cell-free assay, it inhibits GSK-3 with an IC50 of 5 nM for GSK-3α/β and displays >16-fold selectivity over CDK5. In a mouse xenograft model, it inhibited the growth of the melanoma tumor and demonstrated strong antiproliferative activity.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
GSK-3α (IC50 = 5 nM); GSK-3β (IC50 = 5 nM); CDK5/p35 (IC50 = 80 nM); Cdk1/cyclin B (IC50 = 320 nM); cdk2/cyclin A (IC50 = 300 nM); Cdk4/cyclin D1 (IC50 = 10 μM); MAPKK (IC50 = 10 μM); protein kinase Cα (IC50 = 12 μM)
ln Vitro
BIO (6-bromoindirubin-3'-oxime) is a specific inhibitor of glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3), with IC50 of 5 nM for GSK-3α/β, shows >16-fold selectivity over CDK5. In cellular models, BIO reduces β-catenin phosphorylation on a GSK-3-specific site and closely resembles Wnt signaling in Xenopus embryos. It also interacts with these kinases' ATP binding pockets. [1] The transcription factors Oct-3/4, Rex-1, and Nanog, which are specific to the pluripotent state, are maintained in the undifferentiated phenotype in human and mouse embryonic stem cells by BIO. Withholding the compound causes normal multidifferentiation programs in both human and mouse embryonic stem cells, demonstrating that BIO-mediated Wnt activation is functionally reversible.[2] 6BIO is also a pan-JAK inhibitor, with IC50 values for TYK2, JAK1, JAK2, and JAK3 of 0.03, 1.5, 8.0, and 0.5 μM.
ln Vivo
BIO suppresses melanoma tumor growth in a mouse xenograft model.[4]
Enzyme Assay
In Buffer A or C, kinase activities are measured at 30 °C with a final ATP concentration of 15 M. Activities are calculated as pmoles of phosphate incorporated during a 10 minute incubation after subtracting blank values. Dimethylsulfoxide is diluted appropriately for controls to be performed. After SDS-PAGE, phosphorylation of the substrate is occasionally measured by autoradiography. Purification of GSK-3α/β is accomplished in porcine brain via affinity chromatography using immobilized axin. It is assayed, following a 1/100 dilution in 1 mg BSA/ml 10 mM DTT, with 5 μl 40 μM GS-1 peptide, a specific GSK-3 substrate, (YRRAAVPPSPSLSRHSSPHQSpEDEEE), in buffer A, in the presence of 15 μM [γ-32P] ATP (3,000 Ci/mmol; 1 mCi/ml) in a final volume of 30 μl. After being incubated for 30 minutes at 30 degrees Celsius, 25 μl aliquots of the supernatant are spotted onto pieces of Whatman P81 phosphocellulose paper that are 2.5 × 3 cm in size. The filters are then washed five times (for at least five minutes each time) in a solution of 10 ml phosphoric acid/liter of water. A 1 ml sample of ACS scintillation fluid is used to count the wet filters.
Cell Assay
In Dulbecco's Modified Medium (DMEM) containing 10% fetal bovine serum, COS1, Hepa (wild-type, CEM/LM AhR deficient, and ELB1 ARNT deficient) or SH-SY5Y cells are grown in 6 cm culture dishes. When cell density reaches about ~70% confluence, IO (5 μM), BIO (5 or 10 μM), MeBIO (5 or 50 μM), LiCl (20 or 40 mM), or a mock solution (DMSO, 0.5% final concentration) are added to the medium for treatment. After 12 (SH-SY5Y) or 24 hours, the cells are lysed with lysis buffer (1% SDS, 1 mM sodium orthovanadate, 10 mM Tris [pH 7.4]), still in the plate. The lysate is passed through a 26G needle several times, centrifuged at 10,000 × g for five minutes, and then adjusted to the same protein concentration. Each sample is loaded with about μg for immunoblotting. The detection method is enhanced chemiluminescence. The following primary antibodies are used: rabbit anti-AhR (Aryl hydrocarbon receptor), rabbit anti-actin, mouse anti-phospho-catenin (Upstate Biotechnologies, Clone 8E7, recognizes dephosphorylated -catenin), mouse anti-GSK-3, mouse anti-GSK-3 phosphoTyr216, and rabbit anti-actin.

  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
