KY-05009

KY-05009 pharmacologically inhibits TGF-β1-induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in human lung adenocarcinoma cells. KY-05009 inhibits the protein expression of TNIK and transcriptional activity of Wnt target genes and induces apoptosis in cancer cells. KY-05009 exerts anti-cancer activity. KY-05009 is an ATP-competitive Traf2- and Nck-interacting kinase (TNIK) inhibitor (Ki = 100 nM). (In Vitro):KY-05009 (1-3 μM; 48-72 hours; RPMI8226 cells) treatment induces caspase-dependent apoptosis in RPMI8226 cells in a dose-dependent manner. KY-05009 (3 μM; 1 hour; RPMI8226 cells) treatment suppresses the transcriptional activity of Wnt signaling-related genes, including TNIK, CTNNB1, TCF7, and TCF4. KY-05009 (3 μM; 9 hours; RPMI8226 cells) treatment inhibits the IL-6-induced interaction between TCF4 and β-catenin and the phosphorylation of TCF4.KY-05009 (0.1-30 μM; 24 hours; RPMI8226 cells) treatment inhibits the proliferation of RPMI8226 cells in a dose-dependent manner.
