General description

A cell-permeable isoxazole compound that selectively induces robust neuronal differentiation (Effective concentration = 20 µM) in various stem/progenitor cells. Induces insulin expression, and activates ERK signaling and histone acetylation in MIN6 pancreatic β cells. The underlying excitation-neurogenesis signaling is comprised of, at least in part, an initial NMDA receptor- and L-type chanenels-mediated Ca2+ influx, followed by an activation of CaMKII, phosphorylation/nuclear export of the MEF2 repressor HDAC5, the subsequent de-repression of MEF2, and the eventual activation of the HDAC-MEF2 epigenetic/transcriptional regulatory network.

The clinical success of stem cell therapy for myocardial repair hinges on a better understanding of cardiac fate mechanisms. We have identified small molecules involved in cardiac fate by screening a chemical library for activators of the signature gene Nkx2.5

We probed an epigenetic regulatory path from small molecule to neuronal gene activation. Isoxazole small molecules triggered robust neuronal differentiation in adult neural stem cells, rapidly signaling to the neuronal genome via Ca(2+) influx. Ca(2+)-activated CaMK phosphorylated and mediated nuclear

In the central nervous system (CNS), neural stem cells (NSCs) differentiate into neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes--these cell lineages are considered unidirectional and irreversible under normal conditions. The introduction of a defined set of transcription factors has been shown to directly
