    IF images of uninjured, 48 hpi, and 72 hpi mouse airway epithelia wild-type mice treated with vehicle or LGK974 assessing BrdU incorporation. Relative to vehicle-treated mice, LGK974-treated mice exhibited an attenuated SAE with few BrdU+ ABSCs, thereby phenocopying the repair response of K5-CreER;Ctnnb1fl/fl mouse tracheas.

    Description

    LGK974 (WNT974) is an orally bioavailable and specific Porcupine (PORCN) inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.1 nM[1].

    IC50 & Target

    Porcupine[1]
    In Vitro

    LGK974 effectively displaces [3H]-GNF-1331 with an IC50 of 1 nM in the PORCN radioligand binding assay. LGK974 potently reduces Wnt-dependent AXIN2 mRNA levels in HN30 cells with an IC50 of 0.3 nM[1].

    In Vivo

    LGK974, a drug that targets Porcupine, a Wnt-specific acyltransferase. LGK974 potently inhibits Wnt signaling, has strong efficacy in rodent tumor models, and is well-tolerated. Toxicology studies are performed on nontumor bearing rats at 3 and 20 mg/kg. At the efficacious dose of 3 mg/kg per day for 14 d, LGK974 is well-tolerated without abnormal histopathological findings in Wnt-dependent tissues, including the intestine, stomach, and skin. When rats are administrated a very high dose of 20 mg/kg per day for 14 d, loss of intestinal epithelium is observed, consistent with the concept that Wnt is required for intestinal tissue homeostasis[1].

    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    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (6.31 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic and warming

      This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

      Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
    • Protocol 2

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.31 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

    Cell Assay
    [1]

    HN30 cells and UMSCC cells are used. For TaqMan assay, 2×106 cells per well are plated into six-well cell culture plates and treated with or without LGK974 in amultipoint dose-response. RNA samples are collected after 48 h. For colony formation assays, 2×103 cells per well are plated into six-well cell culture plates with or without compound treatment. Cells are stained with crystal violet 1 wk later[1].

    Animal Administration
    [1]

    Mice and Rats[1]
    Nude mice (or nude rats) bearing the mouse mammary tumor virus-Wnt1, HN30, or SNU1076 tumors are randomized according to tumor volume. LGK974 is formulated in 10% (vol/vol) citrate buffer (pH 2.8)/90% (vol/vol) citrate buffer (pH 3.0) or 0.5% MC/0.5% Tween 80 and administered by oral gavage at a dosing volume of 10 μL/g animal body weight. Body weight is monitored daily, and tumor sizes are assessed three times per week after the tumors are palpable. Tumor sizes are determined by using caliper measurements. Tumor volumes are calculated with a formula (length×width×height)/2. The plasma concentrations and exposures of LGK974 in the tumor-bearing nude mice (n=2 per dosing group) are determined on day 14. Blood samples (50 μL) are collected by serial retroorbital sampling at 1, 3, 7, 16, and 24 h postdose. The blood samples are centrifuged, and plasma is separated and frozen until analysis by liquid chromatography/MS/MS. For tolerability studies, LGK974 is administrated to nontumor-bearing Wistar rats one time per day by oral gavage at 3 or 20 mg/kg per day. Necropsies are performed at the end of the study. Tissues are fixed in 10% (vol/vol) neutralbuffered formalin, sectioned, and subjected to H&E staining.

    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.
