More Info:
| Biological target: | GW9508 is a potent and selective G protein-coupled receptors FFA1 (GPR40) and GPR120 agonist with pEC50s of 7.32 and 5.46, respectively. |
| In vitro activity: | The human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) were treated with ox-LDL (100 μg/mL) in the presence or absence of GW9508 (50 μM) or AH9614 (1 μM) for 24 h. The protective effect of GW9508 on ox-LDL-induced endothelial toxicity indicates that the activation of the GPR120 receptor could have a beneficial role to counter ox-LDL. Tts influence on endothelial senescence was then determined by measuring SA-β-gal activity. Compared to nontreated cells, ox-LDL treatment for 7 days induced more than a 3-fold increase in SA-βgal activity, but the presence of the same dose of GW9508 inhibited more than half of SA-β-gal activity (Figure33). The normal growing HAEC population had about 51% G0/G1 phase cells at arrest, and while ox-LDL induced a 79% G1/G0 phase cell population, the presence of GW9508 significantly attenuated ox-LDL-induced cell cycle arrest, and roughly 62% population of the cells was at the G1/G0 phase arrest (Figure44). In the same 24 h ox-LDL experiment, GW9508 inhibited both p53 and PAI-1 ox-LDLinduced expressions at mRNA (Figure55A) and protein levels (Figure55B), respectively. Furthermore, it was found that GW9508 exhibited robust promotion of ox-LDL-induced nuclear translocation of NRF2 in the 24 h treatment experiment. These facts indicate the role of GW9508 in endothelial cells, which is solely dependent on GPR120 signals.

| In vivo activity: | To examine effects of GW9508 on a Th2-type inflammation, repeated DNFB treatment was adopted in BALB/c mice. Repeated elicitation with hapten results in a shift from Th1-mediated to Th2-mediated inflammation (Kabashima et al., 2003; Inagaki et al., 2006), which mimics AD. From the fifth to the ninth elicitation, 20μl of 200μM GW9508 or vehicle were topically applied to the ear 1h before each DNFB application. Treatment with GW9508 resulted in significant reduction of ear swelling compared with the control mice (Figure 5a). Histological examination revealed diminished epidermal thickening and attenuated cell infiltration in the dermis of the GW9508-treated group compared with the vehicle-treated group (Figure 5b). Immunostaining for CCL5 revealed that the CCL5 signal was enriched in the cytoplasm of keratinocytes of the skin of the vehicle-treated animals, and that the GW9508 treatment markedly attenuated the signal (Figure 5d). Consistent with this suppression, the number of eosinophils infiltrating in the skin was significantly suppressed in the GW9508-treated group compared with the control, vehicle-treated group (Figure 5b and e). Attenuation of mast cell infiltration was also noted in the GW9508-treated group (Figure 5f). These data collectively suggest that GW9508 reduces CCL5 production in keratinocytes and infiltration of eosinophils and mast cells, and attenuates ear swelling in repeated DNFB treatment, a model of AD.
