Protocol

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Mv1Lu and C2C12 cells

Preparation Method

Cells were pretreated for 1 h with 1uM small molecule inhibitors A 83-01 and then cultured with TGF-β.

Reaction Conditions

1uM A-83-01, 1 h

Applications

The effects of TGF-β inhibitors on cell proliferation were examined. A 83-01 efficiently prevented the growth-inhibitory effects of TGF-β, A-83-01 prevented inhibition of growth of Mv1Lu cells by TGF-β in a dose-dependent fashion. Treatment with 0.3 uM A 83-01 completely blocked the growth-inhibitory effect of TGF-β.

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

M109 cells were inoculated subcutaneously into CDF1 female mice (5 weeks old)

Preparation Method

When the tumor volume reached approximately 100-200 mm3, SL, F-SL, or free DXR was injected intravenously at 8 mg/kg, with or without intraperitoneal injection of 0.5 mg A 83-01/kg. The control group was injected intravenously with saline (0.2 mL/20 g body weight) with intraperitoneal injection of the vehicle (0.1 mL/20 g body weight).

Dosage form

0.5 mg A-83-01/kg,16day

Applications

The liposomal DXR injected group showed a strong antitumor effect in comparison with saline with or without A 83-01 and free DXR treated groups. A 83-01 alone did not show an antitumor effect. F-SL with A 83-01 showed a significantly stronger antitumor effect than F-SL alone on day 7 and days 13 and 16, SL alone on day 7 and days 10 and 13, or SL with A 83-01 on days 7 and 10.

Background

A 83-01 is a potent inhibitor of TGF-β type I receptor ALK5 kinase, type I nodal receptor ALK4 and type I nodal receptor ALK7, with IC50 s of 12 nM,45 nM and 7.5 nM against the transcription induced by ALK5, ALK4 and ALK7, respectively [1].

A 83-01 reduces the level of ALK-5-induced transcription in Mv1Lu cells, also blocks the ALK4-TD and ALK7-TD induced transcription R4-2 cells, and weakly suppresses that induced by constitutively active ALK-6, ALK-2, ALK-3, and ALK-1. A 83-01 (0.03-10 μM) potently prevents the growth-inhibitory effects of TGF-β, and completely inhibits the effect at 3 μM. A 83-01 (1-10 μM) inhibits TGF-β-induced Smad activation in HaCaT cells [1]. A 83-01 (1 μM) decreases cell motility, adhesion and invasion increased by TGF-β1 in HM-1 cells, but does not change cell proliferation [2]. A-83-01-treated retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) failed to differentiate after 7 passages (P7). Exogenous expression of MYCN and OTX2 in conjunction with A 83-01 restored P7-RPE differentiation to a status similar to minimally passaged RPE [5].

When co-administrated F-SL with A 83-01. Intraperitoneally injected A 83-01-induced alterations in the cancer-associated neovasculature were examined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and histological analysis. The targeting efficacy of single intravenous injections of F-SL combined with A 83-01 was evaluated by measurement of the biodistribution and the antitumor effect in mice bearing murine lung carcinoma M109. A 83-01 temporarily changed the tumor vasculature around 3 h post injection. A 83-01 induced 1.7-fold higher drug accumulation of F-SL in the tumor than liposome alone at 24 h post injection. Moreover F-SL co-administrated with A 83-01 showed significantly greater antitumor activity than F-SL alone [3]. A 83-01 treatment significantly increased the number of Nkx2.5(+) cardiomyoblasts at baseline and after myocardial injury, resulting in an increase in newly formed cardiomyocytes [6]. Using transgenic Nkx2.5 enhancer-green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter mice, and isolated cardiac progenitor cells (CPC). A 83-01 was found to induce proliferation mainly through increasing Birc5 expression in the MEK/ERK-dependent pathway [7]. Treatment of rat dermal fibroblast with A 83-01 inhibited transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)-dependent induction of α-SMA and collagen type I [4].

Conversion of Terminally Committed Hepatocytes to Culturable Bipotent Progenitor Cells with Regenerative Capacity

Cell Stem Cell2017 Jan 5;20(1):41-55.PMID: 27840021DOI: 10.1016/j.stem.2016.10.007

A challenge for advancing approaches to liver regeneration is loss of functional differentiation capacity when hepatocyte progenitors are maintained in culture. Recent lineage-tracing studies have shown that mature hepatocytes (MHs) convert to an immature state during chronic liver injury, and we investigated whether this conversion could be recapitulated in vitro and whether such converted cells could represent a source of expandable hepatocytes. We report that a cocktail of small molecules, Y-27632, A-83-01, and CHIR99021, can convert rat and mouse MHs in vitro into proliferative bipotent cells, which we term chemically induced liver progenitors (CLiPs). CLiPs can differentiate into both MHs and biliary epithelial cells that can form functional ductal structures. CLiPs in long-term culture did not lose their proliferative capacity or their hepatic differentiation ability, and rat CLiPs were shown to extensively repopulate chronically injured liver tissue. Thus, our study advances the goals of liver regenerative medicine.

The ALK-5 inhibitor A-83-01 inhibits Smad signaling and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition by transforming growth factor-beta

Cancer Sci2005 Nov;96(11):791-800.PMID: 16271073DOI: 10.1111/j.1349-7006.2005.00103.x

Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta signaling facilitates tumor growth and metastasis in advanced cancer. Use of inhibitors of TGF-beta signaling may thus be a novel strategy for the treatment of patients with such cancer. In this study, we synthesized and characterized a small molecule inhibitor, A-83-01, which is structurally similar to previously reported ALK-5 inhibitors developed by Sawyer et al. (2003) and blocks signaling of type I serine/threonine kinase receptors for cytokines of the TGF-beta superfamily (known as activin receptor-like kinases; ALKs). Using a TGF-beta-responsive reporter construct in mammalian cells, we found that A-83-01 inhibited the transcriptional activity induced by TGF-beta type I receptor ALK-5 and that by activin type IB receptor ALK-4 and nodal type I receptor ALK-7, the kinase domains of which are structurally highly related to those of ALK-5. A-83-01 was found to be more potent in the inhibition of ALK5 than a previously described ALK-5 inhibitor, SB-431542, and also to prevent phosphorylation of Smad2/3 and the growth inhibition induced by TGF-beta. In contrast, A-83-01 had little or no effect on bone morphogenetic protein type I receptors, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase, or extracellular regulated kinase. Consistent with these findings, A-83-01 inhibited the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition induced by TGF-beta, suggesting that A-83-01 and related molecules may be useful for preventing the progression of advanced cancers.

Topical application of ALK5 inhibitor A-83-01 reduces burn wound contraction in rats by suppressing myofibroblast population

Biosci Biotechnol Biochem2014;78(11):1805-12.PMID: 25351330DOI: 10.1080/09168451.2014.932666

Burn scar contracture that follows the healing of deep dermal burns causes severe deformation and functional impairment. However, its current therapeutic interventions are limited with unsatisfactory outcomes. When we treated deep second-degree burns in rat skin with activin-like kinase 5 (ALK5) inhibitor A-83-01, it reduced wound contraction and enhanced the area of re-epithelialization so that the overall time for wound closing was not altered. In addition, it reduced myofibroblast population in the dermis of burn scar with a diminished deposition of its biomarker proteins such as α-SMA and collagen. Treatment of rat dermal fibroblast with A-83-01 inhibited transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)-dependent induction of α-SMA and collagen type I. Taken together, these results suggest that topical application of ALK5 inhibitor A-83-01 could be effective in preventing the contraction of burn wound without delaying the wound closure by virtue of its inhibitory activity against the TGF-β-induced increase of myofibroblast population.

Restoration of Mesenchymal RPE by Transcription Factor-Mediated Reprogramming

Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci2017 Jan 1;58(1):430-441.PMID: 28118667DOI: 10.1167/iovs.16-20018

Purpose: Transforming growth factor β-mediated epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a major component of the wound healing response and a negative determinant of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) differentiation. We have shown previously that inhibition of TGFβ signaling restored the capacity of mesenchymal RPE to differentiate; however, the potential lessens with extensive passaging. We investigated TGFβ-independent mechanisms that regulate RPE differentiation following repetitive passaging.
Methods: Retinal pigment epithelium-EMT was induced by repetitive passaging of fetal RPE at subconfluence. Suppression of EMT was achieved by the addition of A-83-01, a TGFβ receptor kinase inhibitor. Transcriptomic analysis was used to identify potential TGFβ independent processes that prevent differentiation after extensive passage. Downregulated transcription factors were identified and transduced into highly passaged RPE to restore cell differentiation. Restoration was evaluated according to morphology, expression of RPE/mesenchymal markers, transcriptomic analysis, cell doubling time, and senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) activity.
Results: A-83-01-treated RPE failed to differentiate after 7 passages (P7). This failure was concomitant with downregulation of RPE genes, misregulation of cell cycle genes, a decline in proliferative potential, and cell senescence. Exogenous expression of MYCN and OTX2 in conjunction with A-83-01 restored P7-RPE differentiation to a status similar to minimally passaged RPE. Moreover, the treatment allowed cells to maintain their differentiation capacity after extended passaging.
Conclusions: Retinal pigment epithelium subjected to chronic wound stimulus undergoes TGFβ-mediated EMT, loss of expression of signature RPE genes, and senescence. Targeting these aspects with a TGFβ receptor kinase inhibitor, a RPE transcription factor, and a cell cycle regulator restores the capacity of highly passaged RPE cells to regenerate and differentiate.

Chemical conversion of aged hepatocytes into bipotent liver progenitor cells

Hepatol Res2021 Mar;51(3):323-335.PMID: 33378128DOI: 10.1111/hepr.13609

Aim: In the aging society, understanding the influence of hepatocyte age on hepatocyte donation may inform efforts to expand alternative cell sources to mitigate liver donor shortage. A combination of the molecules Y27632, A-83-01, and CHIR99021 has been used to reprogram rodent young hepatocytes into chemically induced liver progenitor (CLiP) cells; however, whether it could also reprogram aged hepatocytes has not yet been elucidated.
Methods: Primary hepatocytes were isolated from aged and young donor rats, respectively. Hepatic histological changes were evaluated. Differences in gene expression in hepatocytes were identified. The in vitro reprogramming plasticity of hepatocytes as evidenced by CLiP conversion and the hepatocyte and cholangiocyte maturation capacity of reprogrammed CLIPs were analyzed. The effect of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) on cell propagation was also investigated.
Results: The histological findings revealed ongoing liver damage with inflammation, fibrosis, senescence, and ductular reaction in aged livers. Microarray analysis showed altered gene expression profiles in hepatocytes from aged donors, especially with regard to metabolic pathways. Aged hepatocytes could be converted into CLiPs (Aged-CLiPs) expressing progenitor cell markers, but with a relatively low proliferative rate compared with young hepatocytes. Aged-CLiPs possessed both hepatocyte and cholangiocyte maturation capacity. HGF facilitated CLiP conversion in aged hepatocytes, which was partly related to the activation of Erk1 and Akt1 signaling.
Conclusions: Aged rat hepatocytes have retained reprogramming plasticity as evidenced by CLiP conversion in culture. HGF promoted proliferation and CLiP conversion in aged hepatocytes. Hepatocytes from aged donors may be used as an alternative cell source to mitigate donor shortage.
