AP20187 (B/B Homodimerizer) is a cell-permeable ligand used to dimerize FK506-binding protein (FKBP) fusion proteins and initiate biological signaling cascades and gene expression or disrupt protein-protein interactions.
When LNCaP cells are treated with AP20187 (B/B Homodimerizer) (100 nM), ro-iCaspase-9 levels are significantly reduced, and the smaller processed active caspase-9 becomes apparent[2].
Real-time PCR analysis shows that AP20187 (B/B Homodimerizer) (0.5 mg/kg, 2 mg/kg, or 5 mg/kg) treatment significantly increases the levels of CHOP mRNA in the CNS of PLP/Fv2E-PERK mice at PID12. AP20187 treatment significantly alleviates EAE-induced myelin damage in these mice. AP20187 (B/B Homodimerizer) treatment significantly reduces the number of degenerating axons and increases the density of axons in the demyelinating lesions in the lumbar spinal cord of PLP/Fv2E-PERK mice[2].
Mice[2] To activate the transgene Fv2E-PERK in oligodendrocytes, PLP/Fv2E-PERK transgenic mice are given intraperitoneal injections of AP20187 (B/B Homodimerizer) daily at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg, 2 mg/kg, or 5 mg/kg. Lyophilized AP20187 (B/B Homodimerizer) is dissolved in 100% ethanol at a concentration of 62.5 mg/mL stock solution and stored at −20°C. Injection solutions consist of 4% ethanol, 10% PEG-400, and 2% Tween-20 in water. The transgenic mice receiving only the vehicle (4% ethanol, 10% PEG-400, 2% Tween-20 in water) served as controls.
For the in vitro study, 16 h after ADV infection, cells are treated with R1881 (10 nM), AP20187 (B/B Homodimerizer) (10 nM), both, or neither for 8 h. Cells are then rinsed with PBS and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 1 h at room temperature. After rinsing with PBS, cells are incubated in ice-cold permeabilization solution (0.1% Triton X-100, 0.1% sodium citrate) for 2 min at 0°C. Cells are rinsed with PBS and stained with TUNEL reaction mixture for 60 min at 37°C. After another PBS wash, cells are incubated with Converter-AP for 30 min at 37°C. Cells are rinsed and incubated with substrate 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl phosphate/nitroblue tetrazolium for 30 min. After a final PBS rinse (repeated twice), cells are microphotographed[2].
FKBP homodimerizer[1] In Vitro When LNCaP cells are treated with AP20187 (B/B Homodimerizer) (100 nM), ro-iCaspase-9 levels are significantly reduced, and the smaller processed active caspase-9 becomes apparent[2].
