Setanaxib (GKT137831) is a potent Nox1/4 inhibitor (Kis=140±40/110±30 nM)[1]. Administration of Setanaxib (GKT137831) throughout the 72-hour period of normoxia or hypoxia exposure attenuates HPASMC proliferation under normoxic conditions at the 20 μM concentration but had no effect on proliferation in normoxic HPAECs. In the prevention paradigm, Setanaxib (GKT137831) attenuates hypoxia-induced HPASMC and HPAEC proliferation at 5 and 20 μM. Complementary assays of cell proliferation measuring the expression of PCNA or manual cell counting confirmed that Setanaxib (GKT137831) attenuates hypoxia-induced pulmonary vascular cell proliferation[2].

Protocol
Monolayers of HPAECs and HPASMCs are propagated in culture and placed in normoxic (21% O2, 5% CO2) or hypoxic (1% O2, 5% CO2) conditions for 72 hours. Setanaxib (GKT137831) (0.1-20 μM), or vehicle (1% DMSO) are added to the culture medium at the onset (prevention regimen) or during the last 24 hours (intervention regimen) of a 72-hour hypoxia exposure regimen[2].

Mice[1]
Specific pathogen-free, wild-type (WT) C57BL/6J mice are used. For the carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) model of liver fibrosis, 6 week old male mice are injected intraperitoneally with CCl4, which is diluted 1:3 in corn oil, or with vehicle (corn oil) at a dose of 0.5 μL/g of body weight twice a week for a total of 12 injections. During the last half of CCl4 treatment, mice are treated with 60 mg/kg of the NOX1/4 inhibitor Setanaxib (GKT137831) or vehicle by intragastric injection daily. Mice are sacrificed 48 hours after the last CCl4 injection. For the bile duct ligation (BDL) model, 6 week old male mice are anesthetized. After laparotomy, the common bile duct is ligated twice and the abdomen closed. The sham operation is performed similarly without BDL. From 11 days after operation, mice are treated with 60 mg/kg of the NOX1/4 inhibitor Setanaxib (GKT137831) or vehicle by daily intragastric lavage. Mice are sacrificed 21 days after operation. Serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) are measured with a commercial kit.
