Product Description

KU-55933 is a potent and specific ATM (Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated) kinase inhibitor with IC50/Ki of 12.9 nM/2.2 nM in cell-free assays, and is highly selective for ATM as compared to DNA-PK, PI3K/PI4K, ATR and mTOR. As an ATM inhibitor, KU-55933 dramatically reduced the rise in phospho-Akt at Ser473 in insulin- and IGF-I-treated MDA-MB-453 and PC-3 cells after serum starvation. In MDA-MB-453 and PC-3 cells, KU-55933 treatment reduced cell proliferation in the MTT assay by roughly 50% at a concentration of 10 μM. Treatment with KU-55933 inhibited cell proliferation in a panel of cell lines with varying Akt activities, and this effect was correlated with Akt phosphorylation. This new understanding of the mechanism governing ATM regulation may be helpful in developing more accurate plans for modulating ATM activity in cancer therapy, since it is thought that ATM inhibition makes cancer cells more susceptible to genotoxic substances.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
ATM ( IC50 = 12.9 nM ); DNA-PK ( IC50 = 2500 nM ); mTOR ( IC50 = 9300 nM ); PI3K ( IC50 = 16600 nM )
ln Vitro

In vitro activity: KU-55933 exhibits IC50 values of 2.5 μM and 16.6 μM for DNA-PK and PI3K inhibition, respectively. Furthermore, KU-55933 inhibits mTOR activity with an IC50 of 9.3 μM. At the cellular level, KU-55933 is effective in ablating a well-studied ATM-dependent phosphorylation event. With an IC50 of 300 nM, KU-55933 inhibits this ATM-dependent phosphorylation event in a dose-dependent manner. At a dose of 30 μM, KU-58050 does not stop the ATM-dependent phosphorylation of p53 serine 15. Regarding the UV-induced phosphorylation of H2AX on serine 139, NBS1 on serine 343, CHK1 on serine 345, and SMC1 on serine 966, the addition of KU-55933 has no discernible effects. KU-55933 annihilates the phosphorylation of these ATM substrates caused by ionizing radiation, in sharp contrast to the UV responses. The KU-55933 compound sensitizes HeLa cells to various doses of ionizing radiation.[1] In cancer cells, KU-55933 prevents growth factors from causing Akt to become phosphorylated. The growth of cancer cells is inhibited by KU-55933. Moreover, survival is enhanced by KU-55933's suppression of ATM, most likely through preventing TAp63α from being activated downstream.[2]

ln Vivo
While KU-55933 suppresses ATM-dependent STAT3 activation, which in turn increases TRAIL-mediated apoptosis by up-regulating surface DR5 expression, down-regulating cFLIP and up-regulating apoptotic levels seem to be related to suppressing both STAT3 and NF-κB. The TRAIL-mediated apoptosis is more strongly impacted by the ATM inhibitor KU-55933 than by the JAK2 inhibitor AG490 or STAT3β overexpression.[3]
Enzyme Assay
In order to obtain ATM for the in vitro assay, rabbit polyclonal antiserum raised to the COOH-terminal 400 amino acids of ATM is immunoprecipitated from HeLa nuclear extract using a method that involves buffering the mixture with 25 mM HEPES (pH 7.4), 2 mM MgCl2, 250 mM KCl, 500 μM EDTA, 100 μM Na3VO4, 10% v/v glycerol, and 0.1% v/v Igepal. After an hour of incubation with protein A-Sepharose beads and subsequent centrifugation to recover the beads, ATM-antibody complexes are separated from nuclear extract. A 96-well plate's well is used to incubate ATM-containing Sepharose beads with 1 μg of glutathione S-transferase–p53N66 (p53's NH2-terminal 66 amino acids fused to glutathione S-transferase) in the ATM assay buffer [25 mM HEPES (pH 7.4), 75 mM NaCl, 3 mM MgCl2, 2 mM MnCl2, 50 μM Na3VO4, 500 μM DTT, and 5% v/v glycerol] at 37 °C with or without an inhibitor. The reaction is continued at 37 °C for an additional hour after adding ATP to a final concentration of 50 μM after 10 minutes of gentle shaking. Glutathione S-transferase-p53N66 binding is allowed to occur by centrifuging the plate at 250 × g for 10 minutes (4 °C) in order to remove the beads containing ATM. The supernatant is then taken out and put in a white opaque 96-well plate. This incubation process takes 1.5 hours at room temperature. The PBS wash, dry blotting, and standard ELISA analysis using a phospho-serine 15 p53 antibody are the next steps for this plate. When using a secondary antibody conjugated with horseradish peroxidase from goat antimouse, the substrate for phosphorylated glutathione S-transferase-p53N66 is detected. The process of creating a signal and chemiluminescent detection involves using an enhanced chemiluminescence solution. Chemiluminescent detection is done and a signal is generated using an enhanced chemiluminescence solution.
Cell Assay
The ATM response is measured by Western blot analysis of p53 serine 15 phosphorylation and stabilization of wild-type p53 in U2OS cells that have been exposed to ionizing radiation (3, 5, or 15 Gy) or UV (5 or 50 J/m2). Each time point's whole cell extracts are extracted, proteins are separated using SDS-PAGE, and a p53 phospho-serine 15 specific antibody is used to measure the ATM-specific increase in phosphorylated serine 15. When using a p53-specific antibody (DO-1), overall p53 stabilization over time is also seen. Similarly, the following antibodies are used to study ATM-dependent phosphorylations on H2AX, CHK1, NBS1, and SMC1: NBS1 phospho-serine 343 and CHK1 phospho-serine 345 antibodies. SMC1 and SMC1 phospho-serine 966 antibodies are also used, along with antibodies against histone H2A (H-124) and CHK1. The peak response time of two hours for p53 serine 15 phosphorylation is used to track ATM inhibition in order to determine a cellular IC50 for KU-55933. Prior to applying ionizing radiation, KU-55933 is titrated onto cells and preincubated for one hour. The IC50 value is determined similarly to the in vitro determinations, and the percentage inhibition in relation to the vehicle control is computed using scanning densitometry.
