Western blot and grey analysis of CYP11a1, CYP19a1, BCL2, CALR, CHOP, caspase3, caspase12, PERK, and GRP78. qRT-PCR analyzed ATF4, caspase3, and GRP78 mRNAs. The relieving function of BMP4 on ER stress is diminished after blockade of BMP receptor I (BMPRI) with DM-3189.

Solvent & Solubility
H2O : 33.33 mg/mL (60.34 mM; Need ultrasonic)
DMSO : 4.17 mg/mL (7.55 mM; Need ultrasonic; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 1 year; -20°C, 6 months (sealed storage, away from moisture). When stored at -80°C, please use it within 1 year. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 6 months.
* Note: If you choose water as the stock solution, please dilute it to the working solution, then filter and sterilize it with a 0.22 μm filter before use.

Protocol
Mouse PASMCs grown are transiently transfected to 50% confluence in six-well plates with 0.3 μg Id1promoter luciferase reporter construct (BRE-Luc) in combination with 0.6 μg of plasmid expressing constitutively active forms of BMP type I receptors (caALK2, caALK3 or caALK6). For both reporter plasmids, 0.2 μg of pRL-TKRenilla luciferase are used to control for transfection efficiency. PASMCs are incubated with LDN193189 (2 nM-32 μM) or vehicle starting 1 h after transfection. Cell extracts are harvested and quantified relative promoter activity by the ratio of firefly to Renilla luciferase activity with the dual luciferase assay kit[1].

Mice[2]
In the first experiment, SCID mice are implanted with MDA-PCa-118b tumors. After 7 days when tumors reached measurable sizes, mice are injected with LDN193189 (3 mg/kg) or with vehicle intraperitoneally twice a day. Tumor sizes and body weights are measured weekly. Mice are injected with calcein at three days and one day prior to sacrifice. Blood is collected and tumors are weighed. A portion of the tumors are fixed in formaldehyde for micro-computed tomography (microCT), using EVS CT, or further decalcified for bone histomorphometric analysis, using OsteoMeasure Analysis System, or flash frozen for RNA preparation. Osteocalcin in the mouse serum is determined by ELISA. In the second experiment, PCa-118b tumors are first digested with Accumax, and the isolated cells are plated overnight, resuspended in Matrigel in 1:1 ratio, and injected into SCID mice (1×106 cells/mouse) subcutaneously. Mice are treated with LDN193189 five days post-injection.
Rats[3]
Male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats, 8 weeks of age, weighing 200-220 g, are purchased from Nanjing Medical University animal center. Rats are randomly assigned to one of seven experiment groups (n=6 per group). Rats are housed with free access to food and water under a natural 12/12 h day/night cycle. The Monocrotaline is administered (60 mg/kg) to rats by subcutaneous injection into the back region. The animal’s lungs are harvested at 28th day of the study after hemodynamic assessment. The UK-92480 group received daily intragastric administration of UK-92480 after the administration of MCT (60 mg/kg). The LDN193189 group received daily intragastric administration of UK-92480 (50 mg/kg) and intraperitoneal injection of LDN193189 (10 mg/kg). In other groups, the same volume saline is given.
