Summary
GsMTx4 TFA is a spider venom peptide that selectively inhibits cationic-permeable mechanosensitive channels (MSCs) belonging to the Piezo and TRP channel families. GsMTx4 TFA also blocks cation-selective stretch-activated channels (SACs) , attenuates lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC)-induced astrocyte toxicity and microglial reactivity. GsMTx4 TFA is an important pharmacological tool for identifying the role of these excitatory MSCs in normal physiology and pathology [1] [2] [4] .
IC50 & Target
MSCs [1]
In Vitro
GsMTx4 TFA (5 μM) reduces Piezo1-mediated charge transfer to 38% of its initial levels in HEK293 cells transfected with Piezo1 cDNA
[1]
.
GsMTx4 TFA (5 μM) blocks cation-selective stretch-activated channels in astrocytes, cardiac cells, and smooth and skeletal muscle cells
[2]
.
GsMTx4 TFA (2.5 μM, 16 h) significantly diminishes both the leptin-induced AMPK and MLC-2 phosphorylation in breast epithelial cells (MCF10A)
[3]
.
GsMTx4 TFA (500 nM, 48 h) attenuates demyelination induced by the cytotoxic lipid and psychosine (organotypic cerebellar slices)
[4]

[5]
MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Western Blot Analysis [3]
| Cell Line: | MCF10A cells |
| Concentration: | 2.5 μM |
| Incubation Time: | 16 h |
| Result: | Diminished both the leptin-induced AMPK and MLC-2 phosphorylation. |
In Vivo
GsMTx4 TFA (stereotactic injection, 3 μM for 1 μL, a single dose) is neuroprotective and inhibits lysophosphatidylcholine-induced astrocyte toxicity and demyelination in the cerebral cortex
[4]
.
GsMTx-4 TFA (intraperitoneal injection, 270 μg/kg for a single dose) reduces mechanical allodynia induced by inflammation and by sciatic nerve injury in Von Frey test
[6]
.

| Animal Model: | Male C57BL/6 mice (toxin-induced focal demyelination of cortical brain tissue) [4] |
| Dosage: | 3 μM for 1 μL, a single dose. |
| Administration: | Stereotactic injection in the left and right cerebral hemispheres (sacrificed 4 days post-injection) |
| Result: |
Prevented the enhanced increase in microglial reactivity and microglial cell numbers induced by lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC).
Prevented LPC-mediated astrocyte toxicity by attenuating the decrease in GFAP+ cells and GFAP fluorescence intensity. |
| Animal Model: | Sciatic nerve injury model of male Sprague-Dawley rats [6] |
| Dosage: | 270 μg/kg, a single dose |
| Administration: | Intraperitoneal injection |
| Result: | Reduced inflammation-evoked mechanical allodynia. |
