Description |
CHIR-98014 is a potent, cell-permeable GSK-3 inhibitor with IC50s of 0.65 and 0.58 nM for GSK-3α and GSK-3β, respectively; it shows less potent activities against cdc2 and erk2.

In Vitro |
CHIR 98014 inhibits human GSK-3β with Ki value of 0.87 nM. CHIR 98014 causes GS stimulation in CHO-IR cells and rat hepatocytes, with EC50s of 106 nM and 107 nM, respectively[1]. CHIR-98014 (1 μM) reduces the viability of ES-CCE cells by 52%, with IC50 of 1.1 μM. Moreover, CHIR-98014 in combination with CHIR-99021 results in a significant activation of the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway in ES-D3 cells. In CHIR-98014 treated cells, the T gene expression is induced up to 2,500-fold. CHIR-98014 (1 μM) also yields around 50% Brachyury-positive cells, with EC50 of 0.32 μM[2]. CHIR98014 (10 μM) prevents loss of neurites caused by 20 μM PrP1-30 in cortical and hippocampal neurons, and substantially decreases the amount of dead cells[3].

In Vivo |
CHIR 98014 (30 mg/kg, i.p.) exhibits a significant reduction in fasting hyperglycemia within 4 h of treatment and shows improved glucose disposal during an ipGTT in markedly diabetic and insulin-resistant db/db mice[1].

Cell Assay |
The viability of the mouse ES cells is determined after exposure to different concentrations of GSK3 inhibitors for three days using the MTT assay. The decrease of MTT activity is a reliable metabolism-based test for quantifying cell viability; this decrease correlates with the loss of cell viability. 2,000 cells are seeded overnight on gelatine-coated 96-well plates in LIF-containing ES cell medium. On the next day the medium is changed to medium devoid of LIF and with reduced serum and supplemented with 0.1-1 μM BIO, or 1-10 μM SB-216763, CHIR-99021 or CHIR-98014. Basal medium without GSK3 inhibitors or DMSO is used as control. All tested conditions are analyzed in triplicates[2].

Animal Admin |
Blood is obtained by shallow tail snipping at lidocaine-anesthetized tips. Blood glucose is measured directly or heparinized plasma is collected for measurement of glucose or insulin. Animals are prebled and randomized to vehicle control or GSK-3 inhibitor treatment groups. For glucose tolerance tests (GTTs), animals are fasted throughout the procedure with food removal early in the morning, 3 h before first prebleed (db/db mice), or the previous night, 16 h before the bleed (ZDF rats). When the time course of plasma glucose and insulin changes in fasting ZDF rats is measured, food is removed ∼16 h before test agent administration. The glucose challenges in the GTT are 1.35 g/kg i.p. (ipGTT) or 2 g/kg via oral gavage (oGTT). Test inhibitors are formulated as solutions in 20 mM citrate-buffered 15% Captisol or as fine suspensions in 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose[1].
