Description: IXA4 is a highly selective, non-toxic IRE1/XBP1s activator. IXA4 transiently activates protective IRE1/XBP1s signaling in liver without inducing RIDD or TRAF2/JNK signaling. IXA4 treatment improves systemic glucose metabolism and liver insulin action through IRE1-dependent remodeling of the hepatic transcriptome that reduces glucose production and steatosis. IXA4-stimulated IRE1 activation also enhances pancreatic function. Our findings indicate that systemic, transient activation of IRE1/XBP1s signaling engenders multi-tissue benefits that integrate to mitigate obesity-driven metabolic dysfunction.

More Info:

Biological target: IXA4 is a highly selective, non-toxic IRE1/XBP1s activator. IXA4 (10 μM; 4 hours) selectively upregulates XBP1s mRNA, relative to genes regulated by ATF6 (e.g., BiP) or PERK (e.g., CHOP), in other cell lines including Huh7 and SHSY5Y cells.
In vitro activity: IXA4 reduced Aβ levels 50% in conditioned media prepared on CHO7PA2 cells expressing the V717F APP (APPV717F) mutant (Fig. 5B). This study confirmed compound-dependent IRE1/XBP1s activation in these cells by qPCR (Extended Data Fig. 7C).
