Description: Degrasyn, also known as WP1130, is a small molecule that specifically and rapidly down-regulates both wild-type and mutant Bcr/Abl protein without affecting bcr/abl gene expression in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) cells. WP1130 was more effective in reducing leukemic versus normal hematopoietic colony formation and strongly inhibited colony formation of cells derived from patients with T315I mutant Bcr/Abl-expressing CML in blast crisis. WP1130 suppressed the growth of K562 heterotransplanted tumors as well as both wild-type Bcr/Abl and T315I mutant Bcr/Abl-expressing BaF/3 cells transplanted into nude mice. WP1130 may be useful in treating CML.

Product Data:
Biological target: Degrasyn (WP1130) is a cell-permeable deubiquitinase (DUB) inhibitor, directly inhibiting DUB activity of USP9x, USP5, USP14, and UCH37 that also downregulates the antiapoptotic proteins Bcr-Abl (IC50: 1.8 μM) and JAK2.
In vitro activity: An in vitro analysis using cell lysates was performed to investigate direct DUB inhibition by WP1130. Briefly, untreated Z138 cell lysates were incubated with 5 μmol/L WP1130 or vehicle alone for 1 hour at 37°C, followed by labeling with HA-UbVS. Incubation of cell lysate with WP1130 showed a reduction of HA labeling of the same DUBs as those noted in intact cells (Fig. 4C), suggesting that WP1130 caused direct DUB inhibition. As shown in Fig. 5A, treatment with 5 μmol/L WP1130 reduced the activities of USP9x, USP5, and UCH-L1 by ≥80% (detail in Supplementary Fig. S4). No inhibition was observed against UCH-L3 activity, suggesting that WP1130 may be partly selective. The loss of USP5 activity was confirmed using HA-UbVS labeling, which showed ∼80% reduction in HA labeling on incubation with WP1130 (Fig. 5B). Interestingly, observed a time-dependent increase in cathepsin B activity from the lysates of WP1130-treated cells (Supplementary Fig. S5) was also observed.

In vivo activity: To determine whether degrasyn can reduce the tumorigenicity in a xenograft model, PANC‐1 cells were injected subcutaneously into right flank of mice to construct xenograft mouse model. All xenografted mice were divided in two groups according to degrasyn treatment or not. Tumours in degrasyn‐treated mice were significantly smaller than those in control mice (Figure7A). Similarly, tumour growth was significantly reduced in degrasyn‐treated mice compared with control mice (Figure7B). Furthermore, degrasyn reduced the average tumour volume by 43% compared with negative control (Figure7C). Also, degrasyn treatment resulted in 36% decrease in average tumour weight (Figure7D). Consistent with the results in cell lines, degrasyn reduced the protein levels of WT1 but increased E‐cadherin (Figure7E).
