IC50: ~10 μM (calcineurin)[1]
Calcineurin (Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase, also known as protein phosphatase 2B, PP2B). Calcineurin autoinhibitory peptide is a selective inhibitor with an IC50 of approximately 10 microM. It does not inhibit PP1 (protein phosphatase 1). |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Calcineurin autoinhibitory peptide is a selective inhibitor of calcineurin, blocking its phosphatase activity with an IC50 of approximately 10 microM. It mimics the endogenous autoinhibitory domain of calcineurin, binding to the enzyme and preventing substrate dephosphorylation. This peptide does not inhibit PP1, demonstrating selectivity. It protects neurons from excitatory neuronal death in vitro.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, calcineurin autoinhibitory peptide has been shown to protect neurons from excitatory neuronal death in animal models of stroke, traumatic brain injury, and neurodegenerative diseases. By inhibiting calcineurin, it blocks the dephosphorylation and activation of pro-apoptotic factors (e.g., Bad, NFAT), thereby promoting neuronal survival. It can also function as an immunosuppressant by inhibiting T-cell activation.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
For non-cellular assays, purified calcineurin (PP2B) is incubated with a fluorogenic substrate such as RII phosphopeptide or p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP) in assay buffer containing Ca2+ and calmodulin. Calcineurin autoinhibitory peptide is added at varying concentrations (1-100 uM). Phosphate release is measured by colorimetric (malachite green) or fluorescence methods, and IC50 values are calculated from dose-response curves.
|
| Cell Assay |
For cell-based assays, primary neurons or T-cells are treated with calcineurin autoinhibitory peptide. Because the peptide is cell-permeable, it can be added directly to culture media (10-50 uM). In neurons, excitotoxicity is induced by glutamate or NMDA treatment. Cell viability is assessed by MTT or LDH release. NFAT nuclear translocation is measured by immunofluorescence or Western blot. T-cell activation is assessed by IL-2 production (ELISA).
|
| Animal Protocol |
For animal studies, calcineurin autoinhibitory peptide is administered via intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection (typically 1-10 ug/mouse) or intraperitoneally in models of stroke, traumatic brain injury, or neurodegeneration. Neuroprotection is assessed by measuring infarct volume (TTC staining) or neuronal survival (Nissl staining). Behavioral outcomes (e.g., rotarod, Morris water maze) are evaluated. Tissues are collected for analysis of calcineurin activity and apoptosis markers.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Calcineurin autoinhibitory peptide is a synthetic peptide that is stable in lyophilized form at -20degC for long-term storage. For in vivo use, it is dissolved in saline or artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF). The peptide has a molecular weight of 2930.34 and a molecular formula of C124H205N39O39S2. It is cell-permeable, allowing direct addition to cell culture media.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Calcineurin autoinhibitory peptide is generally well tolerated at research doses. In animal studies, no significant systemic toxicity has been reported at the doses used for neuroprotection (1-10 ug ICV). High doses may cause immunosuppression or off-target effects. Standard safety precautions for handling synthetic peptides should be followed. It is intended for research use only.
