In Vitro |
Y-27632 inhibits the ROCK family of kinases 100 times more potently than other kinases including protein kinase C, cAMP-dependent kinase and myosin light chain kinase. Y-27632 prolongs the lag time and delays the appearance of BrdU-labeled cells in a concentration-dependent manner, delays of about 1 and 4 h are noticed in the Swiss 3T3 cells treated with 10 and 100 μM Y-27632, respectively[1]. Y-27632 promotes neuronal differentiation of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs). Compared to 1.0 and 2.5 μM Y-27632 induced groups, percentages of neuroal-like cells achieved a peak in the 5.0 μM Y-27632 induced group[2].

In Vivo |
Y-27632 (5 and 10 mg/kg) significantly prolongs the onset time of myoclonic jerks when compare with saline group. Y-27632 (5 and 10 mg/kg) significantly prolongs the onset time of clonic convulsions when compare with saline group[3]. Treatment with Dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) causes a significant decrease in rat body and liver weight (DMN-S group) compared with control animals (S-S group). Oral Y27632 (30 mg/kg) essentially prevents this DMN-induced rat body and liver weight loss (DMN-Y group)[4].

Cell Assay |
HeLa cells are plated at a density of 3×104 cells per 3.5-cm dish. The cells are cultured in DMEM containing 10% FBS in the presence of 10 mM Thymidine for 16 h. After the cells are washed with DMEM containing 10% FBS, they are cultured for an additional 8 h, and then 40 ng/mL of Nocodazole is added. After 11.5 h of the Nocodazole treatment, various concentrations of Y-27632 (0-300 μM), Y-30141, or vehicle is added and the cells are incubated for another 30 min[1].

Animal Admin |
Mice[3] Male, inbred Swiss albino mice (2-3 months old) weighing 25-30 g are used. Mice are injected with a sub-convulsive dose of PTZ (35 mg/kg, i.p.) (on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) of each week for a total of 11 injections. After each PTZ injection, mice are observed for 30 min and the occurrence of convulsive activity is recorded. After 30 min, the mice are then injected with either Fasudil (25 mg/kg, i.p.) or Y-27632 (5 mg/kg, i.p.) and returned to their home cages until the next injection. Control mice for Fasudil and Y-27632 receives saline. Rats[4] Male Wistar Kind A rats (200-250 g) are used. DMN (1 g/mL) is diluted ten times with saline (final concentration 1%) and 10 mg/kg per day of DMN is injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) on the first 3 days of each week for 4 weeks. Y27632 is given orally once per day at a dose of 30 mg/kg for 4 weeks starting on the day of the first injection of DMN. The dose of 30 mg/kg corrects hypertension in several rat models without toxicity. Twenty rats are randomized into four experimental groups (n=5 in each group) as follows: (1) S-S (injection of saline i.p. and oral administration of saline); (2) S-Y (injection of saline i.p. and oral administration of Y27632); (3) DMN-S (DMN i.p. and oral administration of saline); (4) DMN-Y (DMN i.p. and oral administration of Y27632). The rats are weighed every week. They are sacrificed at the end of the fourth week and the liver is excised. In addition, a blood sample is taken immediately before the rats are sacrificed.
