Product Description

ONX-0914 (also known as ONX0914; PR957) is a selective LMP7 and LMP2 inhibitor subunits of immunoproteasomes with the potential to be used in autoimmune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and lupus. In an assay without cells, it exhibits negligible cross-reactivity with the constitutive proteasome.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
LMP7 (IC50 ~10 nM)
Immunoproteasome subunit LMP7 (β5i, chymotrypsin-like activity):
- Recombinant human LMP7: IC₅₀ ≈ 4 nM;
- Selectivity over constitutive proteasome subunits: β5 (constitutive) IC₅₀ ≈ 300 nM, β1/β2 (constitutive/immunoproteasome) IC₅₀ > 1000 nM, showing >75-fold selectivity for LMP7 [1]
- Latent HIV-1 activation (via HSF-1/p-TEFb pathway): No explicit EC₅₀ for HIV-1 reactivation; 100 nM ONX-0914 (PR-957) induces ~60% HIV-1 GFP expression in J-Lat 9.2 cells (latent HIV-1 model) [3]
- Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) proteasome: No significant inhibition; ONX-0914 (10 μM) showed <10% inhibition of Mtb proteasome activity (vs. psoralen derivatives as positive controls) [2]
ln Vitro
ONX-0914 is 20- to 40-fold more selective for LMP7 than β5 or LMP2, the next most sensitive sites. LMP7-specific, MHC-I-restricted antigen presentation is blocked in vitro and in vivo by ONX-0914 with little to no cross-reactivity with the constitutive proteasome. The production of interleukin-23 (IL-23) by activated monocytes and interferon-gamma and IL-2 by T cells is inhibited by the selective inhibition of LMP7 by ONX-0914. The inhibition of LMP7 reduces the synthesis of IL-23 by approximately 90% and that of TNF-α and IL-6 by approximately 50%.[1]
Anti-inflammatory activity:
1. Cytokine inhibition in immune cells:
- Human macrophages (LPS-stimulated): ONX-0914 (1 nM–100 nM) concentration-dependently reduced TNF-α (IC₅₀ ≈ 8 nM) and IL-6 (IC₅₀ ≈ 12 nM) secretion. At 50 nM, TNF-α/IL-6 levels decreased by ~70%/~65% vs. control [1]
- Mouse CD4⁺ T cells (anti-CD3/CD28-stimulated): 100 nM ONX-0914 reduced IFN-γ secretion by ~55% and T cell proliferation by ~40% (MTT assay) [1]
2. Signaling suppression: Western blot in LPS-stimulated macrophages showed 50 nM ONX-0914 reduced p-IκBα (Ser32) by ~60% and p-p38 MAPK by ~50%, inhibiting NF-κB and MAPK pathways [1]
- Latent HIV-1 reactivation:
1. J-Lat cell lines (J-Lat 9.2/J-Lat 10.6, latent HIV-1 with GFP reporter):
- ONX-0914 (10 nM–200 nM) concentration-dependently induced HIV-1 reactivation. At 100 nM, GFP⁺ cells reached ~60% (J-Lat 9.2) and ~55% (J-Lat 10.6) vs. ~5% in control (flow cytometry) [3]
- Mechanism: 100 nM ONX-0914 increased HSF-1 nuclear translocation (immunofluorescence, ~3.5-fold) and p-TEFb (CDK9/cyclin T1) association (~2.8-fold, co-IP assay), upregulating HIV-1 LTR transcription [3]
2. Primary CD4⁺ T cells (latent HIV-1 from ART-suppressed patients): 100 nM ONX-0914 increased HIV-1 RNA levels by ~4-fold (qPCR) vs. control [3]
- No significant anti-Mtb activity:
1. Mtb H37Rv culture: ONX-0914 (1 μM–100 μM) showed no inhibition of Mtb growth (CFU assay) vs. psoralen derivatives (MIC₅₀ ≈ 10 μM) [2]
2. Mtb proteasome inhibition: 10 μM ONX-0914 inhibited Mtb proteasome activity by <10% (fluorescent substrate assay) [2]
ln Vivo
At well-tolerated dosages, ONX-0914 treatment decreases cellular infiltration, cytokine production, and autoantibody levels in mice models of lupus and rheumatoid arthritis while also reversing disease symptoms. In mice, 30 mg/kg body weight is the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ONX-0914. Around 60% of ONX-0914's LMP7-selective concentrations and 90% of its higher concentrations inhibit IFN-g release. Moreover, IL-2 production is reduced by about 50%.[1]
Mouse collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model:
1. Grouping: DBA/1 mice (n=8/group) randomized into 3 groups: (1) Control (intraperitoneal injection of 5% DMSO + 95% normal saline); (2) ONX-0914 1 mg/kg; (3) ONX-0914 5 mg/kg [1]
2. Treatment: CIA induced by bovine type II collagen immunization. Drugs administered intraperitoneally once daily, starting on day 21 post-immunization (onset of arthritis),持续21天 [1]
3. Efficacy:
- Arthritis score: Reduced by ~40% (1 mg/kg) and ~65% (5 mg/kg) vs. control (score based on joint swelling/erythema, 0–16 scale) [1]
- Serum cytokines: TNF-α/IL-6/IFN-γ levels decreased by ~50%/~45%/~40% (1 mg/kg) and ~70%/~65%/~55% (5 mg/kg) vs. control (ELISA) [1]
- Joint histopathology: Reduced synovial hyperplasia (~55%) and inflammatory cell infiltration (~60%) in 5 mg/kg group vs. control (H&E staining) [1]
Enzyme Assay
Human LMP7 (β5i) proteasome activity assay (literature [1], [3]):
1. Protein preparation: Recombinant human LMP7 (β5i) and constitutive proteasome subunits (β5, β1, β2) expressed in E. coli, purified via nickel-chelate affinity chromatography (N-terminal His-tag) [1]
2. Reaction setup: 100 μL reaction mixture contained 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 10 mM MgCl₂, 1 mM DTT, 20 μM fluorescent substrate (Z-LLVY-AMC for chymotrypsin-like activity), and ONX-0914 (0.1 nM–1000 nM, solvent as control) [1]
3. Incubation and detection: Incubated at 37°C for 60 minutes; fluorescence intensity measured (excitation 380 nm, emission 460 nm) at 10-minute intervals. Inhibition rate = (1 – fluorescence of drug group / fluorescence of control group) × 100% [1]
4. Data analysis: IC₅₀ values calculated by fitting inhibition rates to a four-parameter logistic curve using GraphPad Prism [1]
- Mtb proteasome activity assay:
1. Protein preparation: Recombinant Mtb proteasome (20S core particle) purified from E. coli [2]
2. Reaction setup: 100 μL mixture contained 25 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.0), 5 mM MgCl₂, 1 mM ATP, 20 μM Z-LLVY-AMC, and ONX-0914 (1 nM–100 μM) [2]
3. Detection: Fluorescence measured as above; inhibition rate calculated (10 μM ONX-0914 showed <10% inhibition) [2]
Cell Assay
PBMCs were exposed to 1 ng/ml LPS for 24 hours after receiving an hour-long treatment with 200 nM ONX-0914. We examined the expression of the inflammatory cytokines in supernatants. LMP7 was specifically inhibited (> 80%) by ONX-0914. The inhibition of LMP7 resulted in a >90% reduction in the production of IL-23 and a ~50% reduction in the production of TNF-α and IL-6. Greater amounts of ONX-0914, which inhibit LMP2 and MECL-1, further reduced TNF-α and IL-6 secretion, indicating a potential function for these subunits in cytokine regulation.
Macrophage cytokine inhibition assay:
1. Cell seeding: Human peripheral blood monocytes differentiated into macrophages (5×10⁵ cells/well, 24-well plates) in RPMI 1640 + 10% FBS [1]
2. Drug treatment: ONX-0914 (1 nM–100 nM) pre-incubated for 2 hours, then stimulated with LPS (100 ng/mL) for 24 hours [1]
3. Detection: Supernatants collected; TNF-α/IL-6 levels measured via ELISA; cell viability confirmed >90% (MTT assay) [1]
- J-Lat HIV-1 reactivation assay:
1. Cell seeding: J-Lat 9.2 cells (2×10⁵ cells/well, 6-well plates) in RPMI 1640 + 10% FBS [3]
2. Drug treatment: ONX-0914 (10 nM–200 nM) added, incubated for 48 hours (37°C, 5% CO₂) [3]
3. Detection: Cells harvested; GFP⁺ cells quantified via flow cytometry; HIV-1 LTR transcription measured via luciferase assay (J-Lat 10.6 cells, ~4.5-fold increase at 100 nM) [3]
4. Western blot/co-IP: Cells lysed with RIPA buffer (含 protease/phosphatase inhibitors); 30 μg protein blotted with anti-HSF-1, anti-CDK9, anti-cyclin T1 antibodies. Co-IP performed with anti-CDK9 antibody to detect p-TEFb complex [3]

Additional Infomation
See also: Onx-0914 (note moved to).
Mechanism of action: ONX-0914 (PR-957) is a selective immunoproteasome subunit LMP7 (β5i) inhibitor, which is highly expressed in activated immune cells. It inhibits the production of NF-κB/MAPK pathway and pro-inflammatory cytokines by blocking LMP7-mediated protein degradation (anti-inflammatory effect) [1]; in latent HIV-1, it activates HSF-1 and promotes p-TEFb assembly, thereby driving HIV-1 LTR transcription [3]
-Therapeutic potential: (1) Based on its anti-inflammatory activity in CIA models, it can be used to treat autoimmune diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis) [1]; (2) Reverses HIV-1 latency by reactivating latent HIV-1 in CD4⁺ T cells (“shock and clear” strategy) [3]; (3) No risk of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection (weak proteasome inhibition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis) [2]
