Critical off‐target effects of the widely used Rac1 inhibitors NSC23766 and EHT1864 in mouse platelets
Abstract
Background Platelet aggregation at sites of vascular injury is essential for normal hemostasis, but may also cause pathologic vessel occlusion. Rho GTPases are molecular switches that regulate essential cellular processes, and they have pivotal functions in the cardiovascular system. Rac1 is an important regulator of platelet cytoskeletal reorganization, and contributes to platelet activation. Rac1 inhibitors are thought to be beneficial in a wide range of therapeutic settings, and have therefore been tested in vivo for a variety of disorders. Two small-molecule inhibitors, NSC23766 and EHT1864, have been characterized in different cell types, demonstrating high specificity for Rac1 and Rac, respectively. Objectives To analyze the specificity of NSC23766 and EHT1864. Methods Platelet function was assessed in mouse wild-type and Rac1-deficient platelets by the use of flow cytometric analysis of cellular activation and aggregometry. Platelet spreading was analyzed with differential interference contrast microscopy, and activation of effector molecules was analyzed with biochemical approaches. Results NSC23766 and EHT1864 showed strong and distinct Rac1-independent effects at 100 μm in platelet function tests. Both inhibitors induced Rac1-specific inhibition of platelet spreading, but also markedly impaired agonist-induced activation of Rac1(-/-) platelets. Furthermore, glycoprotein Ib-mediated signaling was dramatically inhibited by NSC23766 in both wild-type and Rac1-deficient…

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
