Description of IWP-2

IWP-2 is a specific inhibitor of Porcupine enzyme in the Wnt signaling pathway, with an IC50 value of 27 nM[1]. IWP-2 is also an ATP-competitive Casein Kinase 1δ (CK1δ) inhibitor, with an IC50 value of 40 nM for CK1δ[2]. In addition, the application of IWP-2 resulted in the inhibition of growth and proliferation of certain cancer cell lines, demonstrating its potential application value in exploring the relationship between Wnt signaling and tumor growth.

In vitro, IWP-2 inhibits the proliferation of A818-6, MiaPaCa2, Panc-1 and other cell lines at low doses, with EC50s of 8.96 µM, 1.90 µM, and 2.33 µM respectively. IWP-2 (2.33 µM) treatment for 48 hours reduced the activity of CK1δ in Panc1 cells[2]. IWP-2 (10-50 µM) treatment significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of MKN28 cells, and enhanced caspase 3/7 activity. IWP-2 treatment inhibits the transcriptional activity of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and down-regulates the expression levels of Wnt/β-catenin downstream target genes [3].

In vivo, microinjection of IWP-2 into the nucleus accumbens (NAc) dose-dependently blocks amphetamine (AMPH)-induced acquisition and expression of CPP in rats [4]. IWP-2 (60-180 µM, i.t.) dose-dependently inhibits remifentanil-induced activation of the wnt 3a/β-catenin signaling pathway and subsequently reverses the overexpression of c-fos, NR 2 B, and NF-κB [5].

Protocol of IWP-2

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

MKN28 cells

Preparation Method

The cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. Cells were cultured at 37°C in a humid incubator with 5% CO2. Wnt palmitoyltransferase inhibitor (IWP-2) was used 10-50µM to treat the cells.

Reaction Conditions

10-50 µM; 4 days

Applications

IWP-2 significantly suppressed the proliferation, migration and invasion, and elevated caspase 3/7 activity. IWP-2 treatment downregulated the transcriptional activity of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and downregulated the expression levels of downstream Wnt/β-catenin target genes in MKN28 cells.

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

rats with RIH model

Preparation Method

Thirty rats were randomly divided into five groups (n = 6 in each group): group C (controlled group); group R (rats with RIH model); group iwplow (i.t. 60µM IWP-2), group iwpmedium (i.t. 120µM IWP-2) and group iwphigh (i.t. 180µM IWP-2). 10µL different doses of IWP-2 were injected using a microinjection syringe 30 min before RIH model establishment. An additional 20µL normal saline was administered to flush the catheter.

Dosage form

60µM, 120µM, 180µM; i.t.

Applications

IWP-2 dose-dependently inhibited remifentanil-induced activation of wnt3a/β-catenin signaling pathway and subsequently reverse overexpression of c-fos, NR2B and NF-κB (p < 0.001).
