    Description

    GSK-J4 is a potent dual inhibitor of H3K27me3/me2-demethylases JMJD3/KDM6B and UTX/KDM6A with IC50s of 8.6 and 6.6 μM, respectively. GSK-J4 inhibits LPS-induced TNF-α production in human primary macrophages with an IC50 of 9 μM. GSK J4 is a cell permeable proagent of GSK-J1[1][2][3]. GSK-J4 induces endoplasmic reticulum stress-related apoptosis[4].

    In Vitro

    GSK-J4 has cellular activity in Flag-JMJD3-transfected HeLa cells, in which GSK-J4 prevents the JMJD3-induced loss of nuclear H3K27me3 immunostaining. Administration of GSK-J4 increases total nuclear H3K27me3 levels in untransfected cells. GSK-J4 significantly reduces the expression of 16 of 34 LPS-driven cytokines, including tumour-necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)[1].
    GSK-J4 (5 μM; 48 hours) causes a more than 3-fold increase in mouse podocyte H3K27me3 content. H3K27me3 levels in cultured podocytes, GSK-J4 reduces Jagged-1 mRNA and Jagged-1 protein levels. Correspondingly, when exposed podocytes to the inducer of dedifferentiation TGF-β1, pretreatment with GSK-J4 preventes both the increase in intracellular N1-ICD levels and the increase in α-SMA and the decrease in podocin mRNA levels[2].
    GSK-J4 (10, 25 nM) acts upon DCs promoting the differentiation of Treg cells, improving Treg stability and suppressive capacities, without affecting the differentiation of Th1 and Th17 cells[3].
    GSK-J4 inhibits JMJD3 expression that is induced by TGF-β1[4].
    GSK-J4 inhibits H3K4 demethylation at Xist, Nodal, and HoxC13 in female embryonic stem cells[5].

    In Vivo:

    Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

    For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
    To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    • Protocol 1

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

      Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.98 mM); Clear solution

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

      Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
    • Protocol 2

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.98 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
