Description of ROCK inhibitor-2

ROCK inhibitor-2 is a selective Rho kinase (ROCK) inhibitor with IC50 values of 17nM and 2nM for ROCK1 and ROCK2, respectively, and has anti-tumor activity[1, 2]. ROCK is a serine/threonine protein kinase and a downstream target effector molecule of Rho. ROCK can regulate multiple functions such as cell contraction, migration, adhesion and proliferation[3, 4]. ROCK inhibitor-2 belongs to the aminopyridine class of compounds and is a structural analog of Y-27632[5]. ROCK inhibitor-2 may help improve vision loss and treat glaucoma[6].

In vitro, treatment of human osteosarcoma cell line (U2OS cells) with ROCK inhibitor-2 (50μM) for 48h significantly inhibited cell migration and invasion and caused mitochondrial dysfunction[2].

Protocol of ROCK inhibitor-2

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

U2OS cells

Preparation Method

U2OS cells were seeded in 6-well plates at a density of 8.5×105/well, and 1mM melatonin and 50µM ROCK inhibitor-2 were added. After 48h of culture, the cells were scratched with a pipette tip. Subsequently, they were incubated with DMEM medium containing 0.5% FBS. After repeated treatment at 0, 12, 24, and 48h, cell photos were taken using a phase contrast microscope.

Reaction Conditions

50μM; 48h

Applications

ROCK inhibitor-2 treatment significantly reduced the cell migration area.
