| Description: | In Vitro KIRA8 blocks IRE1α oligomerization, and potently inhibits IRE1α RNase activity against XBP1 and Ins2 RNAs. KIRA8 more potently reduces IRE1α-driven apoptosis in INS-1 cells than KIRA6 and also reverses XBP1 splicing promoted by GNF-2. In Vivo Kira8 efficaciously reverses established diabetes in NOD mice by sparing β-cells and preserving their physiological function. KIRA8 is first tested in 3-week-old male pre-diabetic Akita mice by i.p. daily dosing of 50 mg/kg, whereupon significant reduction of hyperglycemia became apparent over several weeks. Then KIRA8 (50 mg/kg) is tested in the complex NOD. Showing target engagement, one week treatment of pre-diabetic NODs with KIRA8 leads to significant reductions in islet XBP1 splicing and TXNIP mRNAs, and preserved Ins1/Ins2, BiP and MANF mRNAs. |
