  3. VWK147

VWK147 is a second-generation HSP90 C-terminal domain (CTD) inhibitor. VWK147 targets the CTD dimerization interface, prevents HSP90 CTD dimerization, disrupts co-chaperone PPID binding to HSP90 CTD, and inhibits HSP90 chaperone function dependent on dimerization. VWK147 reduces protein levels of HSP90 client proteins ULK1, RIPK1, and CDK4 without inducing a heat shock response. VWK147 induces cell death, including apoptosis, in Cisplatin (HY-17394)-sensitive and -resistant urothelial carcinoma cells. VWK147 induces LC3-II accumulation, inhibits autophagosome-lysosome fusion to block canonical autophagy, and induces non-canonical LC3 lipidation independent of ULK1 and PIK3C3 complexes. VWK147 can be used for the research of urothelial carcinoma.

In Vitro

VWK147 inhibits the interaction between HSP90β CTD and PPID in a TR-FRET assay[1].
VWK147 (10 μM; 3 h) does not bind to the HSP90 NTD in a fluorescence polarization assay[1].

VWK147 (1-10 μM; 6 h) destabilizes HSP90 client proteins ULK1, RIPK1, and CDK4 in Cisplatin-sensitive T24 and Cisplatin-resistant T24-CR urothelial carcinoma cells[1].
VWK147 (0.1-100 μM; 72 h) reduces cell viability in Cisplatin-sensitive (253J, T24) and -resistant (253J-CR, T24-CR) urothelial carcinoma cells with IC50 values of ~3-5 μM after 72 h[1].
VWK147 (10 μM; 0-24 h) induces cell death with both apoptotic and necrotic properties in T24 and T24-CR urothelial carcinoma cells over 24 h[1].
VWK147 (5 μM; 24 h) induced cell death in 253J, 253J-CR, T24, and T24-CR urothelial carcinoma cells is partially caspase-dependent[1].
VWK147 (1-10 μM; 6 h) induces concentration-dependent PARP1 cleavage in T24 and T24-CR urothelial carcinoma cells[1].
VWK147 (5 μM; 1-24 h) induces time-dependent PARP1 cleavage in T24 and T24-CR urothelial carcinoma cells over 24 h[1].
VWK147 (5 μM; 0-24 h) induces caspase-3 activation in Cisplatin-sensitive (253J, T24) and -resistant (253J-CR, T24-CR) urothelial carcinoma cells over 24 h[1].
VWK147 (5 μM; 6 h) inhibits autophagic flux in T24 and T24-CR urothelial carcinoma cells, as shown by LC3-II accumulation[1].
VWK147 (5 μM; 4 h) inhibits autophagosome-lysosome fusion in T24 and T24-CR urothelial carcinoma cells stably expressing mRFP-EGFP-rLC3[1].

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: Cisplatin-sensitive (T24) and -resistant (T24-CR) urothelial carcinoma cells
Concentration: 1 μM, 3 μM, 5 μM, 10 μM
Incubation Time: 6 h
Result: Reduced levels of HSP90 client proteins ULK1, RIPK1, and CDK4 in both T24 and T24-CR cells.\nDid not increase levels of HSP27, HSP40, or HSP70.

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: Cisplatin-sensitive (253J, T24) and -resistant (253J-CR, T24-CR) urothelial carcinoma cells
Concentration: 0.1-100 μM
Incubation Time: 72 h
Result: Reduced cell viability in all four cell lines with IC50 values of ~3-5 μM for 253J, ~3-5 μM for 253J-CR, ~3-5 μM for T24, and ~3-5 μM for T24-CR.

Incubation Time: 6 h
Result: Increased LC3-II levels with mono-treatment, but combination with Bafilomycin A1 did not further increase LC3-II levels, indicating inhibited autophagic flux; p62 levels were unaffected.

Help & FAQs
  • 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.
