Background:

IWP-4 is a small molecule Wnt inhibitor with an IC50 of 25 nM.

IWP-4 is a small molecule Wnt inhibitor with an IC50 of 25 nM. IWP-4 induces the expression of cardiac markers, including cardiac troponin I (CTNI) and cardiac myosin heavy chain bright cells (MYHhi +). IWP-4 also results in the appearance of beating foci (0.44±0.10 SEM beats per second), which is absent in all cultures not receiving IWP-4. Further, flow cytometric analysis shows that there are significantly more MYHlo + cells in IWP-4 treated cultures (PAXIN2, CTNNB1 and GSK3B as compare to osteogenic medium alone on day 7, but MPCs treated with IWP-4 express elevates levels of DKK1 and GSK3β on day 21. IWP-4 also causes a significant down regulation of SPARC and COL1A1[2].
