GSK484 is a PAD4 inhibitor that effectively inhibits protein citrullination and the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) by blocking the catalytic activity of PAD4. GSK484 suppresses the production of histone H3, MHC-I expression, CD8+ T cell activation, proliferation and inflammatory cytokine release. GSK484 reduces inflammation and bone destruction in collagen-induced rheumatoid arthritis, alleviates pain and mast cell activation in sickle cell disease, and improves myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and experimental colitis. In addition, GSK484 restores intestinal microbial homeostasis by reversing ferroptosis-induced dysbiosis. GSK484 can be used to study the disease mechanisms of rheumatoid arthritis, sickle cell disease, thrombosis, myocardial injury, colitis and other conditions.

    Description

    GSK484 is a PAD4 inhibitor that effectively inhibits protein citrullination and the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) by blocking the catalytic activity of PAD4. GSK484 suppresses the production of histone H3, MHC-I expression, CD8+ T cell activation, proliferation and inflammatory cytokine release. GSK484 reduces inflammation and bone destruction in collagen-induced rheumatoid arthritis, alleviates pain and mast cell activation in sickle cell disease, and improves myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and experimental colitis. In addition, GSK484 restores intestinal microbial homeostasis by reversing ferroptosis-induced dysbiosis. GSK484 can be used to study the disease mechanisms of rheumatoid arthritis, sickle cell disease, thrombosis, myocardial injury, colitis and other conditions[1][2][3][4][5][6].

    In Vitro

    GSK484 (10 μM; 6 h) inhibits the expression of citrullinated histone H3, HLA class I (MHC-I), HLA-A2 induced by Erastin (HY-15763) in human rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocytes; in the co-culture system of human rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocytes and CD8+ T cells, it suppresses the activation, proliferation and inflammatory cytokine release of CD8+ T cells[1].
    GSK484 inhibits the ferroptosis-upregulated expression of PAD4 and the associated inflammatory responses in rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocytes (RA-FLS)[2].
    GSK484 (10 μM) completely abolishes heme/TNFα-induced mast cell extracellular trap (mast cell extracellular trap, MCET) formation in mast cells isolated from the dorsal skin of homozygous BERK sickle cell (HbSS) mice[3].
    Pretreatment with GSK484 (10 μM) for 2 hours before hypoxia maintains intracellular ATP levels in primary cultured neonatal wild-type mouse cardiomyocytes at 4 h of reoxygenation, and improves their metabolic activity at 20 h of reoxygenation. In contrast, administration of GSK484 at the onset of reoxygenation only improves metabolic activity at 20 h of reoxygenation, but fails to maintain ATP levels[4].
    GSK484 (10 μM; 15 min pre-treatment) potently inhibits extracellular DNA production and H3Cit+ neutrophil formation induced by Ionomycin (HY-13434) in human neutrophils after 3 h of stimulation; however, it exerts no such effect on neutrophils stimulated with PMA (HY-18739) or isolated from patients with SCD[5].

    In Vivo

    GSK484 (10 mg/kg; i.p.; 3 times per week; 6 total administrations) inhibits joint inflammation, bone destruction, synovial hyperplasia, and expression of inflammatory markers exacerbated by Erastin (HY-15763) in CIA mice, and alleviates the pathological effects caused by enhanced ferroptosis in this disease model[1].
    GSK484 (10 mg/kg; i.p.; 3 times per week; 6 total administrations) reduces joint inflammation and bone destruction in CIA mice, reverses intestinal dysbiosis, restores metabolic profiles to normal, and alleviates the deterioration of RA-related pathologies induced by Erastin (HY-15763)[2].
    GSK484 (20 mg/kg; s.c.; daily; 30 d) produces sustained inhibition of neuropathic hyperalgesia in homozygous BERK sickle cell mice, while exerting extensive anti-inflammatory and hematological benefits without the development of analgesic tolerance[3].
    GSK484 (10 μM; single dose; 30 minutes prior to thrombus induction) significantly prolongs the blood flow cessation time of cerebral arterioles and venules in C57BL/6 mice in a light-activated thrombosis model, and significantly increases the blood flow cessation time of cerebral arterioles and venules in sickle cell transgenic mice[5].
    GSK484 (4 mg/kg; i.p.; once every 2 days; 9 d) significantly reduces the density of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in the colonic mucosa of mice with colitis induced by 2% (w/v) DSS (HY-116282C) (36-50 kd), but fails to improve clinical or inflammatory disease biomarkers[6].

    • 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.
