    In Vitro

    GSK2033 is a LXR antagonist with pIC50s of 7 and 7.4 for LXRα or LXRβ, respectively. GSK2033 dose-dependently suppresses basal transcription in full-length LXRα or full-length LXRβ cotransfection assays with IC50s of 17 nM and 9 nM, respectively. GSK2033 also effectively suppresses the transcription of an ABCA1 driven luciferase reporter dose-dependently displaying IC50s of 52 nM for LXRα and 10 nM for LXRβ. GSK2033 also suppresses the expression of both of fatty acid synthase (FASN) and SREBP1[2].

    In Vivo

    One month treatment of GSK2033 does not have significant effects on hepatic triglyceride levels. Plasma triglyceride levels are also unaffected by treatment with GSK2033[2].

    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: 3 mg/mL (5.07 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

      This protocol yields a suspended solution of 3 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (30.0 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% Corn Oil

      Solubility: 3 mg/mL (5.07 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

      This protocol yields a suspended solution of 3 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (30.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

    Cell Assay
    [2]

    HepG2 cells are maintained in minimal essential medium supplemented with 10% FBS and antibiotics. HepG2 cells are then treated for 24 h with GSK2033 followed by assessment of expression of genes by qPCR[2].

    Animal Administration
    [2]

    21-week old male C57BL6 DIO mice are used. Animals are individually housed and fed a high fat diet (60% kcal/fat diet, 20% carbohydrate) for the duration of the experiment that includes GSK2033 administration for 28 days (30 mg/kg, q. d, i. p.). Body weight and food intake are monitored daily[2].

    Help & FAQs
    • 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.
