[In Vitro]

When applies to the media of ER stressed cultured cells, 4μ8C inhibits Xbp1 splicing in a concentration-dependent manner. 4μ8C dissociates slowly from IRE1, but ishout of inhibitor leads to rapid recovery of Xbp1 splicing in cells[1].The IRE1 endoribonuclease inhibitor 4μ8c prevents the splicing of the XBP1 mRNA in response to ER stress caused by mutant proinsulin production[2]. The inositol-requiring enzyme 1α (IRE1α) is a serine-threonine kinase that plays crucial roles in activating the unfolded protein response. 4μ8C treatment dramatically inhibits IL-4 production by CD4+ T cells under Th0 conditions because both the IL-4 levels in the culture supernatant and the percentage of IL-4 positive cells are reduced by 4μ8C treatment. In addition, both IL-5 and IL-13 production are significantly reduced upon treatment with 4μ8C[3].

[In Vivo]

4μ8C reverses the ER stress-dependent loss of several known RIDD targets, with an EC50 of approximately 4 μM, approximating that of inhibition of XBP1 target gene activation[1].

[Cell Assay]

INS-1 (Insulin 2 C96Y-GFP) cells (clone #4S2) cells are either left untreated or treated with 2 μg/mL doxycycline, 2 μg/mL doxycycline and 5 μM 4μ8C or 5 μM 4μ8C alone. After 48 h 50,000 cells/100 μL of media from each treatment well are seeded into a 96-well plate in duplicates. The CellTiter 96 AQueous Non-Radioactive Cell Proliferation Assay MTS is performed. The absorbance at 490 nm is then measured with a plate reader.[2].
