Biological Activity

Description ML-7 is an inhibitor of smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) with a Ki value of 0.3 µM and displays reversible, ATP-competitive inhibition of Ca2+-calmodulin-dependent and -independent smooth muscle MLCKs. ML-7 also inhibits PKA and PKC with Ki of 21 μM and 42 μM, respectively.
Targets
MLCK [3]
(Cell-free assay)		 PKA [4]
(in Ehrlich cells)		 PKC [4]
(in Ehrlich cells)
0.3 μM(Ki) 21 μM 42 μM
In vitro Inhibition of MLCK by ML-7 induces activation of caspase-3 in adherent MCF-10A and MCF-10A Ras-transformed cells[2]. Its treatment results in a dose-dependent decrease in MLC20 phosphorylation and a corresponding increase in cell death of SMC(smooth muscle cells). The inhibitory effect of ML-7 on MLCK is highly selective. The Ki of ML-7 for MLCK is 0.3 μM, while its Ki for protein kinase A is 21 μM and for protein kinase C is 42 μM. Overexpressing Bcl-2 can protect cells against apoptosis induced by ML-7[4].
In vivo ML7 is able to improve Vascular endothelial dysfunction(VED) and atherosclerosis(AS) by regulating the expression of the tight junction (TJ) proteins zona occludens (ZO)-1 and occludin via mechanisms involving MLCK and MLC phosphorylation in high-fat diet-fed rabbits. ML7 decreases the expression of MLCK and MLC phosphorylation in the arterial wall of rabbits fed a high-fat diet and reduces lipid deposition lesions in AS rabbits[1].

Protocol (from reference)

Cell Assay:[2]
  • Cell lines

    MCF-10A cells, MDCK cells

  • Concentrations

    40 μM

  • Incubation Time

    16 h

  • Method

    Cells are treated with vehicle alone, Blebbistatin, ML-7, ML-9, latrunculin A or Y-27632 in media without serum at varying concentrations and time points before being fixed or prepared for FACS analysis. Untreated cells are also serum starved for the duration of the inhibitor treatment. Stock solutions of each agent are made in DMSO (50 μM Blebbistatin, 5 mM LA), 50% ethanol (10 mM ML-7), 70% ethanol (20 mM ML-9) or water (20 mM Y-27632) and are maintained at -20°C.
