Application

Beas2B human lung epithelial cells were treated with TGN-020 to study the effect on cigarette smoke extracts-induced CCN1 secretion.

Biochem/physiol Actions

TGN-020 is an inhibitor of Aquaporin 4 (AQP4), the most abundant water channel in brain. Aquaporins (AQPs) are water channels required for maintaining fluid homeostasis and enabling water movement across barrier membranes, but can enhance pathological cellular volume changes and cause edema in injury states. Pretreatment with the AQP4 inhibitor TGN-020 significantly reduced the volume of brain edema associated with ischemic injury in a mouse model of focal cerebral ischemia.
