PORCN inhibitor; inhibits Wnt processing and secretion

View all PORCN Inhibitors »

Product Description

IWP 2 is a potent inhibitor of Wnt processing and secretion (IC50 = 27nM). IWP 2 inactivates PORCN, a membrane-bound O-acyltransferase (MBOAT), and selectively inhibits palmitoylation of Wnt. Blocks Wnt-dependent phosphorylation of Lrp6 receptor and Dvl2, and β-catenin accumulation. IWP 2 suppresses self-renewal in R1 embryonic stem cells and promotes cardiomyocyte differentiation from hPSCs. The compound has also been used in protocols to reprogram human somatic cells to chemically-induced PSCs.

Scientific Data Images for IWP 2

iPSC-derived heart organoids differentiated with IWP 2 and CHIR 99021

iPSC-derived Human Heart-forming Organoids

Human iPSCs were embedded in Cultrex™ UltiMatrix RGF Basement Membrane Extract (R&D Systems, Catalog # BME001-05) and differentiated with CHIR 99021 (Tocris Bioscience, Catalog # TB4423-GMP) and IWP 2 (Tocris Bioscience, Catalog # 3533) into heart-forming organoids based on a protocol from Drakhlis, L. et al. (2021) Nat. Biotechnol. 39:737. Successful differentiation was demonstrated by staining the cells with A) a Rabbit Anti-Human Cardiac Troponin T Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (green; Novus Biologicals, Catalog # NBP3-13391) to detect cardiomyocytes and a Goat Anti-Human CD31/PECAM-1 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (red; R&D Systems, Catalog # AF3628) to detect endothelial cells. The cells were counterstained with DAPI (blue; Tocris Bioscience, Catalog # 5748). As formation of early embryonic heart anlagen is associated with nascent foregut endoderm development, cells were also stained with B) a Goat Anti-Human SOX2 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (red; R&D Systems, Catalog # AF2018) and a Mouse Anti-Human HNF-4 alpha/NR2A1 Monoclonal Antibody (green; R&D Systems, Catalog # PP-K9218-00) to detect anterior and posterior foregut endoderm cells, respectively. The cells were counterstained with DAPI (blue; Tocris Bioscience, Catalog # 5748).
