Product Description

GSK J4 is a novel, cell permeable, and potent prodrug of GSK J1, which is the first selective inhibitor of the H3K27 histone demethylase (KDM) JMJD3 and UTX with IC50 of 60 nM in a cell-free assay and is inactive against a panel of demethylases of the JMJ family. GSK-J4 is used to probe the consequences of demethylation of H3K27me3. GSK-J4 inhibits the lipopolysaccharide-induced production of cytokines, including pro-inflammatory tumour necrosis factor (TNF). GSK-J4 (0.5 mg/kg, i.p.) significantly reduces the severity and delays the onset of the disease of the mouse model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In Flag-JMJD3-transfected HeLa cells, GSK-J4 exhibits cellular activity and inhibits the JMJD3-induced decrease of nuclear H3K27me3 immunostaining. In untransfected cells, administration of GSK-J4 raises total nuclear H3K27me3 levels. Tumor-necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is one of the 16 LPS-driven cytokines that GSK-J4 dramatically lowers the expression of[1]. GSK-J4 (5 μM; 48 hours) increases the amount of H3K27me3 in mouse podocytes by more than three times. In cultured podocytes, GSK-J4 lowers the levels of Jagged-1 protein and mRNA while raising H3K27me3. Similarly, pretreatment with GSK-J4 inhibits the increase in intracellular N1-ICD levels, the increase in α-SMA, and the decrease in podocin mRNA levels in podocytes exposed to the dedifferentiation inducer TGF-β1[2]. Without influencing the differentiation of Th1 and Th17 cells, GSK-J4 (10, 25 nM) operates on DCs to enhance Treg cell development, stability, and suppressive abilities[3]. TGF-β1-induced JMJD3 expression is inhibited by GSK-J4[4]. In female embryonic stem cells, GSK-J4 inhibits H3K4 demethylation at Xist, Nodal, and HoxC13[5].
ln Vivo
In diabetic mice, GSK-J4 Hydrochloride (10 mg/kg; ip; three times a week for ten weeks) reduces the progression of kidney disease[2]. GSK-J4 (0.5 mg/kg, ip) dramatically lessens the severity of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in mice and postpones the onset of the disease[3].
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Eightweeks old male db/m and db/db mice[2]
Doses: 10 mg/kg
Route of Administration: ip; thrice-weekly for 10 weeks
Experimental Results: Attenuated the development of kidney disease in diabetic mice.

  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • 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)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
