Our bioassay
Alomone Labs KT5823 inhibits PLCβ3 phosphorylation via PKG in C6 glioma cells.Cells were grown to 70% confluence, and then serum starved for 18 h. The cells were then preincubated for 30 min in different concentrations of KT5823 (#K-250) and stimulated with 8Br-cGMP (100 µM, 4h, 37°C) for PKG activation. Cell proteins were resolved by SDS-PAGE and probed with anti phospho-PLCβ3. PLCβ3 is a substrate of PKG.
Scientific background KT5823 is a semi-synthetic derivative of K525a.1 It is a potent, selective inhibitor of cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) (in vitro IC50= 234 nM). KT5823 interferes at the level of the ATP binding site of the catalytic domain of PKG.2,3 The PKG are Ser/Thr protein kinase with broad substrate specificity, and expressed in; brain, smooth muscle cells, platelets, juxtaglomerular kidney cells, and endothelial cells.4,5 KT5823 triggered apoptotic DNA fragmentation in immortalized uterine epithelial cells, suggesting a regulatory role for PKG in the apoptotic process in these cells.6
