Actin-activated MgATPase assay | Actin-activated MgATPase activity is measured using an NADH-coupled assay in a Beckman DU 640 spectrophotometer. Blebbistatin [a racemic mixture of the (+) and (-) enantiomers] is added from stocks dissolved in DMSO and the DMSO concentration is maintained at a constant concentration of 5% in all samples. |
Cell lines | Bovine corneal endothelial cells (BCECs) |
Preparation method | The solubility of this compound in DMSO is >10 mM. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37℃ for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while. Stock solution can be stored below -20℃ for several months. |
Reacting condition | 10 μM for 5 min; or 5 μM for 20 minutes |
Applications | Blebbistatin effectively inhibited actin-myosin interaction in mouse cardiac muscle through a mechanism independent on Ca2+ influx and activation systems. In addition, blebbistatin prevented thrombin-mediated inhibition of intercellular calcium wave propagation in bovine corneal endothelial cells. |
Animal models | Zebrafish embryos model |
Dosage form | 5-25 μM |
Applications | Blebbistatin treatment induced zebrafish embryos cardia bifida in a dose-dependent manner. |
Other notes | Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal. |
产品描述 | (-)-Blebbistatin is a cell-permeable non-muscle myosin II ATPases inhibitor with an IC50 range of 2 μM [1,2]. Non-muscle myosin II (NM II), an actin-binding protein, plays a central role in regulation of cell migration, adhesion and differentiation [4]. Recent insight into the importance of NM II in these processes has been highlighted by genetic deletion and mutation methods that discovered NM II mutations affect the function of a wide range of proteins and cause monogenic diseases [5.6]. (-)-Blebbistatin is a small molecule inhibitor and preferentially binds to the myosin-ADP-Pi complex to slow down phosphate release [2]. The inhibitor completely eliminate contraction of activity of actin-activated Mg-ATPase and motility of myosins II for several species in vitro (IC50 = 0.5-5.0 μM) [8,9], but it has poor effects on smooth muscle myosin II (IC50 =80 μM) and myosins I,V, and X [3]. Furthermore, blebbistatin can potently inhibit mammalian arterial smooth muscle (IC50=5 μM) [9]. The property that blebbistatin blocks myosin II in an actin-detached state and prevents rigid actomyosin cross-linking is a great advantage in vivo applications [2,11]. In a constant-pressure grant perfusion model system, the CB and TM cells were treated with blebbistatin (10-200 M) and cell morphology was changed, and actin stress fiber content decreased. The blebbistatin effect was completely reversible by washout within 24 hours [10]. Blebbistatin inhibited single cellular contraction without altering the morphologies of intracellular calcium transients (IC50 = 0.43 μM). Exposure to UV light at wavelengths below 488 nm can also cause blebbistatin rapidly suppressed. [8]. References: |
