Abstract

The pyrazolopyrimidine based compound SGC-CK2-1 is a potent and highly specific CK2 inhibitor and a new tool to study the biological functions of protein kinase CK2 irrespective from off-target effects. We used this compound in comparison with the well-established CK2 inhibitor CX-4945 to analyze the importance of CK2 for insulin production and secretion from pancreatic β-cells. Both inhibitors affected the proliferation and viability of MIN6 cells only marginally and downregulated the endogenous CK2 activity to a similar level. Furthermore, both inhibitors increased the message for insulin and boosted the secretion of insulin from storage vesicles. Thus, regarding the high specificity of SGC-CK2-1, we can clearly attribute the observed effects to biological functions of protein kinase CK2.
