GA-017 is a selective and potent small-molecule inhibitor of LATS1 and LATS2 kinases, with IC50 values of 4.10 ± 0.79nM for LATS1 and 3.92 ± 0.42nM for LATS2, respectively[1]. GA-017 is typically used for research in 3D cell culture systems, organoid expansion, and Hippo signaling pathway modulation[1][2].
GA-017 (1 - 20μM, 1 - 6h) inhibited the phosphorylation of YAP/TAZ in a dose-dependent manner under both 2D and 3D culture conditions and the inhibitory effect of GA-017 continued for 6h in SKOV3 cells[1]. GA-017 (10μM, 7 days) visibly increased both cell aggregate size and total cell number in the BCE C/D-1b cells[3].
GA-017 (2.5mg/kg/day, 4 weeks, i.p.) significantly decreased the body weight of mice while notably increasing tumor weight and size in the Ferredoxin 1 (FDX1)-knockdown colorectal cancer mouse model. GA-017 (2.5mg/kg/day, 4 weeks, i.p.) significantly increased the number of Ki67-positive cells in the FDX1-knockdown colorectal cancer mouse model. GA-017 (2.5mg/kg/day, 4 weeks, i.p.) significantly suppressed the production of pyruvate and α-ketoglutarate in the FDX1-knockdown colorectal cancer mouse model[4].

Protocol
| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | Human ovarian adenocarcinoma cell line SKOV3 |
Preparation Method | SKOV3 cells were seeded in a medium supplemented with (3D) or without (2D) 0.015% gellan gum and treated with GA-017 or DMSO for the indicated time. Cells were then lysed with RIPA buffer containing Halt Protease and Phosphatase Inhibitors. Samples were separated by SDS-PAGE, and the proteins in the gel were electrophoretically transferred onto a PVDF membrane. The blot was then blocked and incubated with antibodies. Next, the blot was incubated with peroxidase-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin. Sites of antibody binding were visualized using the ECL Western blotting detection system and were subjected to densitometry analysis using ImageJ and normalized to β-Actin expression. |
Reaction Conditions | 1 - 20μM, 1 - 6h |
Applications | GA-017 inhibited the phosphorylation of YAP/TAZ in a dose-dependent manner under both 2D and 3D culture conditions and the inhibitory effect of GA-017 continued for 6h. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Ferredoxin 1 (FDX1)-knockdown colorectal cancer mouse model |
Preparation Method | Eighteen female nude BALB/c mice (5 - 6 weeks, 18 - 20g) were kept at 24°C - 25°C and 50% - 60% humidity, with free access of standard food and water. Animals were randomly divided into LV-NC group, LV-FDX1 group and LV-FDX1+GA-017 group (n = 6 per group). To induce the tumor-bearing model, 0.1mL of cell suspension was subcutaneously inoculated (2×106 cells per mouse) in nude mice. LV-NC and LV-FDX1 were used for gene knockdown. To inhibit Hippo pathway, GA-017 (2.5mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected into LV-FDX1-treated mice. Mouse body weights were recorded weekly. Four weeks after injection, tumor weight and size were measured. |
Dosage form | 2.5mg/kg/day, 4 weeks, i.p. |
Applications | GA-017 significantly decreased the body weight of mice while notably increasing tumor weight and size. |
