  3. IWP-2

IWP-2 is an inhibitor of Wnt processing and secretion with an IC50 of 27 nM. IWP-2 targets the membrane-bound O-acyltransferase porcupine (Porcn) and thus preventing a crucial Wnt ligand palmitoylation. IWP-2 is also an ATP-competitive CK1δ inhibitor with an IC50 of 40 nM for the gatekeeper mutant M82FCK1δ.

In Vitro

IWP-2 inhibits the proliferation of the investigated cell lines within the single digit μM range. IWP-2 inhibits cell proliferation in A818-6, MiaPaCa2, Panc-1, Panc-89, HT29, HEK293, SW620 and Capan cell with EC50s of 8.96 μM, 1.90 μM, 2.33 μM, 3.86 μM, 4.67 μM, 2.76 μM, 1.90 μM and 2.05 μM, respectively[2].
Panc-1 cells are either untreated or treated with 2.33 μM IWP-2 for 48 h. In IWP-2 treated cells, the CK1δ kinase peak activity is reduced to approximately 66% residual activity compared to the activity in untreated cells, respectively. IWP-2 reduces the activity of CK1δ in Panc1 cells[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

To evaluate the efficacy of IWP-2 in vivo, 200 μL each of IWP-2-liposome or free liposome i separately injected into C57BL/6 mice intraperitoneally about 2 h before injection of a similar volume of either blue-dye-filled latex beads or E. coli DH5α. IWP-2 causes significant reduction in the uptake of blue beads as well as E. coli as assessed by CFUs in peritoneal lavage cells within 2 h. In addition, the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in the lavage fluid of the corresponding mice are reduced by 2-4-fold compared with control values. Interestingly, IWP-2 even induces a considerable increase in secretion of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10[3].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 0.2 mg/mL (0.43 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.2 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (2.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  5% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    50% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 0.1 mg/mL (0.21 mM); Clear solution

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Cell Assay
[2]

The human RCC cell lines 786O and Caki-2 (5×103) are seeded into 96-well plates. Cell viability is estimated by MST assay after Caki-2 acells are incubated with ncreasing concentrations of LEF together with 20 μM IWP-2 for 48 h.After treatment, 10 μL MTS is added into each well for 2 h incubation. The absorbance is measured using a model ELX800 Micro Plate Reader at 490 nm. For colony formation assay, Caki-2 cells are trypsinized to single cell suspensions and seeded into fresh 6-well plates at 1000 cells/well. Then cells are incubated with LEF at depicted concentrations for 7 days. Colonies are fixed with absolute methanol for 15 min and then stained with 0.1% crystal violet for 20 min. After washing with PBS three times, the colonies with a diameter over 2 mm are visualized by a digital camera[2].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
