    Description

    TWS119 is a specific inhibitor of GSK-3β, with an IC50 of 30 nM, and activates the wnt/β-catenin pathway.

    IC50 & Target[1]

    GSK-3β

    30 nM (IC50)

    In Vitro

    TWS119 induces neuronal differentiation in P19 EC cells and primary mouse ESCs. TWS119 (< 4 μM) significantly enhances the proliferation and survival of γδT cells via activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, upregulation of the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and inhibition of cleaved caspase-3. TWS119 (0-8 μM) induces the generation of CD62L+γδT or CCR5+γδT cell phenotypes. TWS119 (0.5, 1.0 and 2 μM) increases the expression level of granzyme B in a dose-dependent manner. TWS119 also enhances the cytolytic activity of γδT cells against tumour cells in vitro[2].

    In Vivo

    TWS119 (30 mg/kg, i.p.) improves the neurologic function and decreases neurologic deficit dcore in rtPA-treated MCAO rats. TWS119 effectively relieves cerebral edema, and reduces cerebral infarction in rats treated with rtPA. TWS119 also effectively decreases blood-brain barrier permeability in rtPA-Treated MCAO Rats and attenuates rtPA-induced hemorrhage in ischemic brain tissue. Futhermore, TWS119 activates the Wnt/β-Catenin signaling pathway and increases the expression of Claudin-3 and ZO-1[1].

    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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.85 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.85 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

      Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

    Cell Assay
    [3]

    PBMCs are cultured with pamidronate disodium for 8 days and then cells are labelled with or without 1.5 μM carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE) and CFSE-labelled cells are then seeded in 6-well plates (2.5 × 106 cells/well) followed by treatment with various concentrations of TWS119 for 72 h. The total number of cultured cells is evaluated using an automated cell counter and the γδT cell proliferation is examined by flow cytometry[3].

    Animal Administration
    [2]

    All rats are randomly divided into four groups as follows: Sham group-rats undego the same surgical procedure, but the filament is not inserted and they receive 1 mL of dimethyl sulfoxide (1 % DMSO in saline); Vehicle group-rats undergo MCAO and receive 1 mL of DMSO; rtPA group-rats underwent MCAO and receive rtPA (10 mg/kg, Actilyse®) at 4 h after MCAO; and rtPA+TWS119 group-rats undergo MCAO and receive intraperitoneal TWS119 (30 mg/kg, dissolved in 1 mL 1 % DMSO) immediately after rtPA injection at 4 h after MCAO[2].

    • 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.
