LE135

LE135 is a potent RAR antagonist that binds selectively to RARα (Ki of 1.4 μM) and RARβ (Ki of 220 nM), and has a higher affinity to RARβ. LE135 is highly selective over RARγ, RXRα, RXRβ and RXRγ. LE135 is also a potent TRPV1 and TRPA1 receptors activator with EC50s of 2.5 μM and 20 μM, respectively.

How to use

In Vitro:

LE135 inhibits Am80-induced differentiation of human promyelocytic leukemia cells HL-60 with an IC50 of 150 nM. LE135 inhibits retinoic acid (RA)-induced transcriptional activation of RARβ, but not RARα, RARγ or retinoid X receptor α (RXRα), on a variety of RA response elements. LE135 strongly represses 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate-induced AP-1 activity in the presence of RARβ and RXRα.

In Vivo:

LE135 provokes nociceptive responses and elicited thermal hyperalgesia mainly through TRPV1 channels, but required both TRPA1 and TRPV1 channels for producing mechanical allodynia. Intraplantar injection of LE135 (30 nmol/10 μL) induces mechanical hypersensitivity in wild-type and Trpa1−/− mice.
