Description of Wnt-C59

Wnt-C59 is a highly potent inhibitor of Porcupine (Porcn), a member of the Mboat (membrane-bound O-acyl deglycosylase) family, with an IC50 value of 74pM, and can inhibit Wnt signaling[1]. The Wnt signaling pathway is a complex network of proteins whose functions are most commonly seen in embryonic development and cancer, but are also involved in normal physiological processes in adult animals[2]. Wnt-C59 has the potential to eradicate cancer stem cells (CSCs) in human tumors[3]. Wnt-C59 can be used to induce human pluripotent stem cells (IPSCs) to differentiate into cortical motor neurons (CMNs) or their progenitors[4].

In vitro, Wnt-C59 (0.01, 1μM) treatment of NIH 3T3 fibroblasts for 48h significantly induced the expression of genes related to hypertrophy (BNP) and fibrosis (COL1 and COL3) in the cells[5]. Wnt-C59 (10μM) treatment of human fetal liver progenitor cells (HFLPC) significantly inhibited cell migration and proliferation induced by Wnt3a and Wnt5a[6].

In vivo, Wnt-C59 (5mg/kg) was orally treated for 4 weeks in cardiac hypertrophy model mice, which significantly improved the cardiac function and survival rate of mice, and attenuated the transverse aortic constriction (TAC)-induced cardiac mass, increase in cardiomyocyte cross-sectional area, cardiac fibrosis, cardiomyocyte apoptosis, and expression of hypertrophic biomarkers β-MHC, ANP, and BNP[7]. Wnt-C59 (40, 60mg/kg) was intraperitoneally treated in mice with endotoxin-induced sepsis, which significantly improved the survival rate of mice and reduced the lethality and plasma levels of proinflammatory cytokines and organ damage biomarkers[8].

Protocol of Wnt-C59

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

NIH 3T3 fibroblasts

Preparation Method

NIH 3T3 fibroblasts were seeded in 6 well plates (50000 cells per well) and treated with Wnt-C59 (0.01μM and 1μM) for 48h and the expression of genes related to hypertrophy (BNP) and fibrosis (Col1 and Col3) measured in cell lysates.

Reaction Conditions

0.01, 1μM; 48h

Applications

Wnt-C59 induced the expression of BNP and both Col1 and Col3 in Fibroblasts.

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

C57BL/6J mice

Preparation Method

Mice were divided into 4 groups: sham, sham+Wnt-C59, transverse aortic constriction (TAC), and TAC+Wnt-C59. Briefly, mice were anesthetized with isoflurane (2%) and a sternotomy was performed to visualize the aortic arch. Then, 7-0 polypropylene suture was used to ligate the aortic arch with a 27G needle as a space holder, which was subsequently removed. The same surgical procedures except for the ligation of the aorta were performed to animals in the sham group. Wnt-C59 was dissolved in saline and administered daily by oral gavage (5mg/kg/day) for experimental groups for 4 weeks. Cardiac function was measured by transthoracic echocardiography using GE vivid 8-dimension ultrasound 4 weeks after TAC surgery. Then mice were anesthetized by isoflurane overdose and hearts were harvested. 

Dosage form

5mg/kg; for 4 weeks; p.o.

Applications

Wnt-C59 significantly improved cardiac function and enhanced survival of mice subjected to TAC surgery. Histologically, Wnt-C59 attenuated TAC-induced increase in heart mass, cross-section area of cardiomyocyte, cardiac fibrosis, cardiomyocyte apoptosis, and expression of the hypertrophic biomarkers β-MHC, ANP, and BNP.
