General description

A highly potent, cell-permeable, reversible, and selective inhibitor of Rho-associated protein kinase (Ki = 140 nM for p160ROCK (ROCK-I). Also inhibits ROCK-II with almost equal potency. Inhibition is achieved by competing with ATP for binding to the catalytic site. Exhibits 10- to 50-fold lower affinity for PKCε than p160ROCK. Does not affect the activity of p21-activated protein kinase (PAK) even at high concentrations (~100 µM). Also acts as a potent inhibitor of agonist-induced Ca2+ sensitization of myosin phosphorylation and smooth muscle contractions (IC50 = 700 nM for phenylephrine-induced contractions in aortic strips). Prevents apoptosis and enhances the survival and cloning efficiency of dissociated hES cells without affecting their pluripotency. Pretreatment with Y-27632 reduces the risk of lung injury in rat models of sepsis.

Epithelia can eliminate apoptotic cells by apical extrusion. This is a complex morphogenetic event where expulsion of the apoptotic cell is accompanied by rearrangement of its immediate neighbors to form a rosette. A key mechanism for extrusion is constriction of

Mammalian oocyte meiotic divisions are highly asymmetric and produce a large haploid gamete and 2 small polar bodies. This relies on the ability of the cell to break symmetry and position its spindle close to the cortex before anaphase occurs.

Mechanical signals transmitted through the cytoplasmic actin cytoskeleton must be relayed to the nucleus to control gene expression.

Classic embryological experiments have established that the early mouse embryo develops via sequential lineage bifurcations. The first segregated lineage is the trophectoderm, essential for blastocyst formation. Mouse naive epiblast and derivative embryonic stem cells are restricted accordingly from producing trophectoderm.
