WKYMVm is a potent N-formyl peptide receptor (FPR1) and FPRL1/2 agonist, and also activate phosphoinositide hydrolysis in undifferentiated HL-60 cells.[1]
In vitro efficacy test indicated that treatment with 0.01, 0.1, 1 and 10 µmol/L WKYMVm for 24 hours or 48 hours obviouly suppressed RANKL‐induced mature osteoclasts.[3] In vitro, treatment with 10 μM WKYMVm to stimulate FPR2 can induce p47phox phosphorylation in IMR90 fibroblasts and in human lung cancer cells, which is considered the key event for NADPH oxidase-dependent superoxide generation. Moreover, 10 μM WKYMVm to stimulate also induced NADPH oxidase-dependent superoxide generation with maximal production occurring at 2 min.[6]
In vivo experiment it shown that treatment with 2.5- and 5 mg/kg/d daily over four days intraperitoneally in ALI mice decreased the levels of proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β, while it increased the MPO and NO release by differentiated HL-60 neutrophil-like cells.[2].
Intramuscular injection of 10−5 mol/l WKYMVm improves blood perfusion and provides protection from tissue damage in the ischemic hind limb.[4] In vivo, treatment with 8 mg/kg WKYMVm subcutaneously (at 0, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 h) effectively attenuated the DSS-induced increase in the bleeding score and the stool score and protects dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced experimental ulcerative colitis.[5] In addition, administration of 4 mg/kg WKYMVm, to septic mice strongly increased neutrophil number through augmented emergency granulopoiesis[7].
