Description: Tyrphostin AG490 is a JAK-2 specific inhibitor, which inhibits phosphorylation of EGFR and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 [STAT-3], and subsequently reduce invasion and adhesion potential of malignant cells. The hematopoietic cancer c-Kit+, Jak-2+ and non hematopoietic tumors c-Kit+, HER-2+, JAK-2+ can be inhibited by the chemosensitizing agent AG490 causing programmed cell death.

More Info: AG490 greatly inhibited osteoclast apoptosis. AG490 stimulated the phosphorylation of Akt and ERK. Adenovirus-mediated expression of dominant negative (DN)-Akt and DN-Ras in osteoclasts inhibited the survival of osteoclasts despite the presence of AG490. Cytochrome c release during osteoclast apoptosis was inhibited by AG490 treatment, but this effect was inhibited in the presence of LY294002 or U0126. AG490 suppressed the proapoptotic proteins Bad and Bim, which was inhibited in osteoclasts infected with DN-Akt and DN-Ras adenovirus. In addition, constitutively active MEK and myristoylated-Akt adenovirus suppressed the cleavage of pro-caspase-9 and -3 and inhibited osteoclast apoptosis induced by etoposide. Taken together, our results suggest that AG490 inhibited cytochrome c release into the cytosol at least partly by inhibiting the pro-apoptotic proteins Bad and Bim, which in turn suppressed caspase-9 and -3 activation, thereby inhibiting osteoclast apoptosis.      

Product Data:
Biological target: AG490 (Tyrphostin AG490) is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that inhibits EGFR, Stat-3 and JAK2/3.
In vitro activity: To explore the effect of blocking p-JAK2 on TNF-α-induced apoptosis in MC3T3-E1 cells, cells were pretreated with AG490 (0, 10, 20, and 40 μM), a specific JAK2 inhibitor, for 30 min before incubation with TNF-α (20 ng/ml, 48 h). Then, flow cytometry was performed after Annexin V and PI labeling. The results showed that AG490 significantly increased the percentage of apoptotic cells (Figs. 3A and B). Western blot analysis was used to detect p-JAK2, JAK2, and Cl-PARP expression. JAK2 phosphorylation decreased and reached the lowest point at 40 μM concentration. Meanwhile, the level of Cl-PARP increased (Figs. 3C–E). These results indicate that JAK2-blockage increases TNF-α-induced apoptosis in MC3T3-E1 cell.

In vivo activity: Besides the effect of AG490 on neuroprotection against apoptosis, this study also observed the alternations of neurotrophins mediated by the inhibitor for neural repairment. The results from ELISA tests revealed that the i.p. injection of AG490 could increase the BNDF level from serum and brain tissue of MCAO mice (Figure 5a,b). Meanwhile, this study found the higher expression of BNDF (p < .05), neurotrophin‐3 (NT3), and also the neurotrophin receptor TrkB in the brain tissue (Figure 5c–e) in vivo. This evidence suggests that AG490 served as a pluripotent drug for neuroprotection in addition to its antiapoptotic activity.
