RNF5-IN-1
Based on 1 Customer Validation
RNF5-IN-1 is a selective small-molecule inhibitor and degrader of the E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF5. RNF5-IN-1 directly binds to the N-terminal cytosolic domain of RNF5 with a KD of 594 nM, inhibits the E3 ubiquitin ligase activity of RNF5, and exhibits selectivity over Hrd1 and Praja1. RNF5-IN-1 promotes the degradation of RNF5 via the p97/VCP-dependent endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) and proteasome pathway. RNF5-IN-1 inhibits the retrotranslocation of misfolded proteins. RNF5-IN-1 is applicable for research on mechanisms related to cystic fibrosis.

In Vitro
RNF5-IN-1 (compound FX12) (4 h) inhibits the retrotranslocation of misfolded NHK from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cytosol in HeLa NHK-drGFP cells, with an IC50 of 2.7 μM[1].
RNF5-IN-1 (10 μM) induces proteasome-dependent degradation of RNF5; BTZ blocks the reduction of RNF5, while CQ does not. The p97/VCP inhibitor NMS-873 also inhibits the reduction of RNF5, indicating that RNF5 degradation relies on p97/VCP-mediated ERAD[1].
RNF5-IN-1 directly binds to the N-terminal cytoplasmic domain (aa1-117) of RNF5, with a KD of 594 nM determined by SPR[1].
RNF5-IN-1 enhances the thermal stability of RNF5 and can still stabilize RNF5 in Derlin1 KO cells, supporting the cellular target engagement of RNF5-IN-1 to RNF5[1].
RNF5-IN-1 (24 h) dose-dependently reduces RNF5 and increases the ER core-glycosylated B form and mature complex-glycosylated C form of ΔF508 CFTR in BHK cells stably expressing ΔF508 CFTR; combined exposure of RNF5-IN-1 with VX809 or VX661 further increases the mature C form of wt-CFTR and ΔF508 CFTR [1].
RNF5-IN-1 (5-10 μM) reduces the ubiquitination of ΔF508 CFTR and inhibits its degradation, thereby enhancing the stability of ΔF508 CFTR[1].
RNF5-IN-1 (5 μM; 24 h) produces only a small amount of mature ΔF508 CFTR in ΔF508/ΔF508 primary HBE cultures, does not significantly enhance the CFTR current response, and does not further augment the CFTR functional response under VX809 or VX809/VX770 conditions[1].
RNF5-IN-1 (10-20 μM; 23 h) significantly attenuates its inhibitory effect on NHK retrotranslocation after RNF5 knockdown, and reduces its stabilization effect on ΔF508 CFTR, which further supports that RNF5 is the functional molecular target of RNF5-IN-1[1].
RNF5-IN-1 (5-10 μM; 30 min) inhibits the auto-ubiquitination of RNF5, but does not affect the ubiquitin-related activities of Hrd1C, Praja1, E1 UBA1, or E2 UbcH5B[1].
RNF5-IN-1 (24 h) exhibits an IC50 of 32.2 μM against the growth of HepG2 cells; it barely inhibits IL-6-induced STAT3 phosphorylation at the maximum concentration of 20 μM, indicating that its STAT3 inhibitory activity is significantly weaker than that of Stattic[1].
RNF5-IN-1 (1.25-20 μM; 16 h) reduces the RNF5 protein level in HeLa cells in a dose-dependent manner; at 10 μM, RNF5 protein is significantly decreased after 9 h of exposure, while RNF5 mRNA remains essentially unchanged[1].
RNF5-IN-1 (10 μM; 24 h) increases the localization of paxillin to focal adhesions in HeLa cells, which is consistent with the inhibition of RNF5 function[1].

Cell Line:HeLa cells
-
Concentration:1.25-20 μM (16 h incubation); 10 μM (24 h incubation)
-
Incubation Time:16 h; 0-24 h
-
Result:Caused a dose-dependent down-regulation of RNF5 protein after 16 h of treatment, with levels reduced to 52%, 38%, 8%, and 5% of control at 1.25, 2.5, 10, and 20 μM respectively.
Induced marked RNF5 down-regulation starting at 9 h post-treatment, with levels reduced to 28% of control by 9 h.

Cell Line:HeLa cells

Concentration:10 μM; BTZ 50 nM; CQ 50 μM

Incubation Time:16 h
-
Result:Induced RNF5 down-regulation was inhibited by bortezomib but not chloroquine, indicating proteasomal degradation.
Treatment with the p97/VCP inhibitor NMS-873 blocked RNF5-IN-1-induced RNF5 degradation and increased RNF5 ubiquitination when combined with RNF5-IN-1.

-
Incubation Time:24 h
-
Result:Caused dose-dependent increases in both the ER core-glycosylated immature (B form) and complex-glycosylated mature (C form) ΔF508 CFTR.
Cotreatment with VX809 or VX661 further enhanced the levels of the mature C form of ΔF508 CFTR compared to corrector treatment alone.

Fibrosis/Collagen Morphometry
Fibrosis and collagen morphometry is based on the quantitative visualization of fibrillar collagen deposition in tissue sections using histochemical stains such as Sirius Red (Picrosirius Red) or Masson's trichrome, followed by image-based or polarization-enhanced analysis to estimate collagen proportional area as a surrogate of extracellular matrix accumulation during fibrotic remodeling. Sirius Red combined with polarized light microscopy enhances detection of collagen fibers due to birefringence properties, enabling more specific visualization of collagen type I and III fibrils compared to conventional bright-field histology, while whole-section or region-restricted digital morphometry reduces field-selection bias in fibrosis assessment. Alternative quantitative approaches include second harmonic generation (SHG) and two-photon excited fluorescence microscopy, which enable label-free detection of fibrillar collagen and have been validated against histological staining and biochemica

Collagen: Sirius Red Staining
Sirius Red or picrosirius red staining is a histochemical method for visualizing collagen-rich extracellular matrix in tissue sections, and collagen fibers are detected as red-stained structures under bright-field microscopy with enhanced birefringence under polarized light. Picrosirius red is useful for assessing total collagen organization, distribution, and fibrosis burden, but polarized color should not be interpreted as a definitive collagen type I versus type III readout because color is affected by fiber orientation, thickness, and packing.

Connective Tissue: Masson's Trichrome/Collagen Trichrome Staining
Masson’s Trichrome (collagen/trichrome staining) is a histological technique that differentially stains tissue compartments using sequential acidic dyes to distinguish collagen from muscle and cytoplasmic components based on dye affinity and tissue permeability differences, enabling visualization of fibrosis and connective tissue architecture in histological sections. The classical formulation typically uses Weigert's iron hematoxylin for nuclear staining, Biebrich scarlet-acid fuchsin for cytoplasm and muscle, and aniline blue (or light green variants) for collagen, producing a characteristic blue/green collagen signal contrasted against red cytoplasm and dark nuclei. The staining principle relies on selective displacement of smaller dye molecules by larger anionic dyes in collagen-rich regions under controlled acidified conditions, which enhances collagen-specific dye retention. This property makes the method widely used for fibrosis assessment in organs such as heart, liver, lung, a
