| Name | T-5224 |
| Description | T-5224 is a transcription factor c-Fos/AP-1 inhibitor that specifically inhibits the DNA-binding activity of c-Fos/c-Jun without affecting other transcription factors. |
| Cell Research | NIH/3T3 cells were transiently transfected with the luciferase reporter plasmids pAP-1-Luc (× 7 TGACTAA), pNF-kB-Luc (× 5 TGGGGACTTTCCGC) or control phRL-TK, and cultured overnight. Cells were incubated in 0.5% FBS/DMEM containing T-5224 for 1 h, and then stimulated with PMA (10 ng/ml) or TNFa (10 ng/ml), and then cultured for 3 h, followed by measurement of lysate by using dual-luciferase reporter assay system [1]. |
| Kinase Assay | The DNA binding activity of transcription factors was measured using the TransAM kits. Nuclear extracts containing factors such as c-Fos/AP-1, c-Jun/AP-1, ATF-2, C/EBPa, MyoD, Sp-1 or NF-kB/p65 and various concentrations of T-5224 were added in the multi-well plates precoated with respective consensus double-stranded (ds)DNA oligomers. After incubation for 1 h, the transcription factor bound to its respective consensus dsDNA sequences was detected by using antibodies reactive against the respective transcription factors according to the manufacturer's protocol [1]. |
| Animal Research | Mice were housed in an SPF (specific pathogen-free) grade environment and provided food and water ad libitum with a 12 h:12 h light/dark cycle. Male 8-week-old DBA/1J mice were immunized with bovine type II collagen emulsified in Freund's complete adjuvant on days 0 and 21. T-5224, MTX and LEF were orally administered once per day. Arthritis was assessed in a blind fashion for four paws per mouse using the following score: 0, uninvolved; 1, swelling of ≤2 toes or slight swelling in ankles and wrists; 2, swelling of ≥3 toes or moderate swelling in ankles and wrists; 3, extensive swelling of total paw. X-ray films of four paws taken using Softex were assessed for joint destruction in 2nd to 5th proximal interphalangeal joints and five metatarsophalangeal joints of four paws, the carpal joints of the forepaws, and the tarsal and calcaneal joints of the hind paws. Score was: 0, no change; 1, partial erosion; 2, complete erosion for joints; and 0, negative; 0.5, positive for osteoporosis. IL-1β (500 ng per unilateral hind paw) was administered into the footpads. The mice with ≥1 arthritis score were treated with either anti-TNFα antibody at 50 or 250 μg/mouse, intraperitoneally (i.p.) twice a week and/or with 3 mg/kg T-5224, orally once daily [1]. |
| In vitro | In vitro production of the synovial cell mediators MMP-1, MMP-3, IL-6 and TNFα by IL-1b–stimulated human synovial SW982 cells was inhibited by T-5224. This was also the case for the chondrocyte inflammatory mediators MMP-3 and MMP-13 in IL-1b–stimulated human chondrocyte SW1353 cells. The IC50 values were ~10 μM for most of the cellular assays [1]. Vasopressin selectively stimulates an increase CDS1 mRNA that is dependent on protein kinase C and can be inhibited by the AP-1 inhibitor, T-5224 [3]. T-5224 significantly inhibited the invasion, migration, and MMP activity of HNSCC cells in a dose-dependent manner; there was no significant influence on cell proliferation [4]. |
| In vivo | T-5224 efficiently inhibited the development of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) when administered once daily from day 21, before the onset of arthritis. Arthritis on day 50 was inhibited by 64% and 91%, by 3 and 30 mg/kg of T-5224, respectively. The body weight of mice treated with T-5224 steadily recovered. X-ray studies showed that joint destruction was inhibited in treated but not in untreated arthritis controls, and notably, the joint was totally protected from destruction by 30 mg/kg of T-5224 [1]. Administration of T-5224 (300 mg/kg, p.o.) after intraperitoneal injection of LPS imparted appreciable protection against acute elevations in serum levels of TNFα, HMGB1, ALT/AST as well as in liver tissue levels of MIP-1α and MCP-1, and reduced the lethality (27 %) [2]. T-5224 (150 mg/kg) or vehicle was given orally every day for 4 weeks. The rate of cervical lymph node metastasis in the model was 40.0% in the T-5224-treated group versus 74.1% in the vehicle-treated group [4]. |
