LIM Kinase Inhibitor I, LIMKi 3, N-(5-(1-(2,6-Dichlorophenyl)-3-(difluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)thiazol-2-yl)isobutyramide
A cell-permeable pyrazolylthiazolo-isobutyramide compound that acts as a potent LIM kinase inhibitor (IC50 = 7 and 8 nM against LIMK1 and LIMK2, respectively) and effectively suppresses cellular cofilin phosphorylation (IC50 ~ 1 µM in A549 and MDA-MB-231 cultures) without affecting tubulin polymerization or inducing cytotoxicity (EC50 >10 µM in A549 proliferation & colony formation assays). Shown to effectively destabilize F-actin structure in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells (3 to 10 µM) with concomitant blockage of invasion (by 93% at 10 µM).

Shown to effectively destabilize F-actin structure in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells (3 to 10 µM) with concomitant blockage of invadopedia-mediated ECM degradation (13% and 10% of control, respectively, by 3 and 10 µM inhibitor) and invasion (45% and 7% of control invasion rate, respectively, by 3 and 10 µM inhibitor). Although reported to exhibit affinity toward AMPKα1 and AMPKα2 in T7 phage-based competition binding studies, inhibitory activity of LIMKi 3 against AMPKα1/2 is not yet directly demonstrated.

Adropin is a peptide largely secreted by the liver and known to regulate energy homeostasis; however, it also exerts cardiovascular effects. Herein, we tested the hypothesis that low circulating levels of adropin in obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) contribute
Increased arterial stiffness and vascular remodeling precede and are consequences of hypertension. They also contribute to the development and progression of life-threatening cardiovascular diseases. Yet, there are currently no agents specifically aimed at preventing or treating arterial stiffening and remodeling.

The mechanical properties of the extracellular environment are interrogated by cells and integrated through mechanotransduction. Many cellular processes depend on actomyosin-dependent contractility, which is influenced by the microenvironment's stiffness. Here, we explored the influence of substrate stiffness on the proteome

LIM kinases (LIMK1/2) are LIM domain-containing serine/threonine/tyrosine kinases that mediate multiple cellular processes in mitosis. In the present study, we explored the functional roles and potential signaling pathway of LIMK1/2 during mouse oocyte meiosis. Disruption of LIMK1/2 activity and expression
Megakaryocytes (MKs), the precursors of blood platelets, are large, polyploid cells residing mainly in the bone marrow. We have previously shown that balanced signaling of the Rho GTPases RhoA and Cdc42 is critical for correct MK localization at bone marrow
