GSK-3484862
Based on 26 publication(s) in Google Scholar
GSK-3484862 is a highly potent non-covalent inhibitor and demethylating agent of DNMT1. GSK-3484862 induces genome-wide DNA demethylation, including the regulatory elements of DNMT3B and the promoter region of TERT, and significantly inhibits cell viability, growth, proliferation and self-renewal. GSK-3484862 blocks the transformation of young AT2 cells, induces apoptosis, and generates transcriptomic features similar to those of senescent cells. GSK-3484862 is widely used in studies related to lung cancer, oral squamous cell carcinoma and lung adenocarcinoma.

DNMT1 |
GSK-3484862 (2 μM, 10 μM; 6 days) induces global DNA demethylation in mouse embryonic stem cells, reducing the global CpG methylation level of the cells from nearly 70% to less than 18%, and the methylation pattern after induction is similar to that of Dnmt1-/- deficient mouse embryonic stem cells[1].
GSK-3484862 (1-10 μM; 1 week) inhibits proliferation, promotes apoptosis, and reduces the self-renewal capacity of Cal27 and FaDu oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells by downregulating the expression of DNMT1[2].
GSK-3484862 inhibits the in vitro transformation of primary alveolar type 2 cells isolated from young KP-Cas9 mice, but has no effect on alveolar type 2 cells from aged KP-Cas9 mice, and induces the expression of Nupr1 and Lcn2 in this system[3].
GSK-3484862 induces hypomethylation at specific CpG sites in Nupr1 enhancers (E1, E7, E8), which correlates with upregulated Nupr1 gene expression[3].

Systemic administration of GSK-3484862 inhibits the transformation of AT2 cells in young mice, but has no such effect on AT2 cells in aged mice, while it induces the expression of Nupr1 and Lcn2 in cells from both age groups[3].

WT hESCs were treated with 2 μM GSK-3484862 for 2 days. Following the removal of GSK3484862, genomic DNA was purified at the indicated time points, and methylation levels at upstream (UP) and downstream (DOWN) of A/B DMR, MCTS2, PEG10, and KCNQ1OT1 were calculated by MSRE-qPCR. The results showed that in the hESCs, methylation levels at the A/B DMR decreased substantially by day 4 following a 2-day treatment with GSK-3484862 (14.1% and 9.2% methylation for the UP and DOWN regions, respectively).
