Description | Tat-NR2B9c is a 20-aa peptide, which acts as a postsynaptic density-95 (PSD-95) inhibitor, with an EC50 of 6.7 nM for PSD-95d2 (PSD-95 PDZ domain 2), and 670 nM for PSD-95d1; Tat-NR2B9c also reduces NMDA-induced p38 activation, and possesses neuroprotective efficacy. |

In Vitro | Tat-NR2B9c is a PSD-95 inhibitor, with an EC50 of 6.7 nM for PSD-95d2, representing a >100-fold higher affinity for this domain than for PSD-95d1 (EC50, 0.67 μM). Tat-NR2B9c inhibits NMDAR2A, NMDAR2B, and NMDAR2C binding to PSD-95, with IC50s of 0.5 μM, ∼8 μM, and 0.75 μM, respectively. Tat-NR2B9c also blocks the interaction between PSD-95 and nNOS with an IC50 of ∼0.2 μM[1]. Tat-NR2B9c reduces association of PSD-95 with GluN2B by ∼50% in the YAC128 striatum, decreases NMDA-induced p38 activation in YAC128 striatal tissue, but shows no effect on the NMDA-induced JNK activation[2]. |
In Vivo | Tat-NR2B9c (10 nM/g, i.v.) reduces infarction volume of male C57BL/6 mice, but has no effect at 3 nM/g[3]. |
Cell Assay | Postnatal mono-cultured WT and YAC128 striatal neurons (DIV 9, due to the viability of these mono-cultured MSNs) are pretreated for 1 h with 200 nM Tat-NR2B9c, and/or SB-239063 (p38 inhibitor), and/or SP-600125 (JNK inhibitor), then incubated with or without 500 μM NMDA for 10 min. After NMDA treatment, striatal neurons are washed once with warm plating medium (PM) and then incubated in conditioned PM (without Tat peptides or p38, JNK inhibitors) for 24 h. Then cells are washed with PBS once and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for 30 min[2]. |
Animal Admin | Mice[3] In each study mice are randomly allocated to three treatment groups (0.0, 3.0, 10.0 nMole/g Tat-NR2B9c) or to sham treatment. The individual performing the experimental procedures, administering treatments and performing the analyses is blinded to the treatment assignments. Tat-NR2B9c is prepared at the indicated doses and administered intravenously via the tail vein using a pump in a volume of 1 µL/g over 5 min beginning at reperfusion[3]. |
