The protein kinase C inhibitors bisindolylmaleimide I (GF 109203x) and IX (Ro 31-8220) are potent inhibitors of glycogen synthase kinase-3 activity

Here we report that the widely used protein kinase C inhibitors, bisindolylmaleimide I and IX, are potent inhibitors of glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3). Bisindolylmaleimide I and IX inhibited GSK-3 in vitro, when assayed either in cell lysates (IC50 360 nM and 6.8 nM, respectively) or in GSK-3β immunoprecipitates (IC50 170 nM and 2.8 nM, respectively) derived from rat epididymal adipocytes. Pretreatment of adipocytes with bisindolylmaleimide I (5 μM) and IX (2 μM) reduced GSK-3 activity in total cell lysates, to 25.1±4.3% and 12.9±3.0% of control, respectively. By contrast, bisindolylmaleimide V (5 μM), which lacks the functional groups present on bisindolylmaleimide I and IX, had little apparent effect. We propose that bisindolylmaleimide I and IX can directly inhibit GSK-3, and that this may explain some of the previously reported insulin-like effects on glycogen synthase activity.
