GW3965 HCl is a potent, selective LXR agonist for hLXRα and hLXRβ with EC50 of 190 and 30 nM in cell-free assays, respectively. Nature, 2016, 14;535 (7611):303-7.
How does GW3965 target human LXRα?
GW3965 recruits the steroid receptor coactivator 1 to human LXRα with EC50 of 125 nM in a cell-free ligand-sensing assay. [1] GW3965 shows a potent antagonistic activity against hLXRα and hLXRβ in cell-based assays with EC50 of 190 nM and 30 nM, respectively.
Are PDAC cells more sensitive to GW3965 than other cells?
A, B, C, PDAC cells (BxPC-3, Mia-PaCa-2, and PANC-1 cell lines, respectively) show dose-dependent decreases in cell proliferation upon treatment with increasing GW3965 concentrations. EC50 calculations indicate that BxPC-3 and Mia-PaCa-2 cells are more sensitive to ligand treatment than PANC-1 cells.
