In cell validation

On target activity in cells

Potency assay (cells):

Human osteosarcoma cells (U2OS) transfected with GFP–BRD4 show a time-dependent recovery of fluorescence intensity in Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) assay. In the presence of JQ1 (500 nM), the observed recovery is immediate, indicating displaced and freely diffusing nuclear BRD4. Cellular FRAP studies confirmed that the effects on the mobile fraction of BRD4 are limited to the biochemically active (1)-JQ1 stereoisomer.

Target engagement assay (cells):

Indirect: FRAP assay

Toxicity

Cytoxicity assay:

Yes

Notes on cytotoxicity:

At 500 nM, JQ1 leads to on target, BRD4-dependent apoptosis.

SAB Comments

This is an excellent selective cellular probe for the BET family of bromodomains, binding potently to all eight (BD1 and BD2 of BRD2/3/4/T). It has been extensively used in cells as a positive control. Its drawback is its suboptimal in vivo pharmacokinetics (IV t1/2 0.9 hours: source http://dx.doi.org/10.1038%2Fnature09504), so for in vivo studies, I would recommend using other BET-family bromodomain inhibitors.

JQ1 is very potent probe for the BET family of proteins that can be used in cells.
