  3. Xanthosine

Xanthosine is a nucleoside derived from xanthine and ribose. Xanthosine activates the AMPK/FoxO1/AKT/GSK3β signaling cascade. Xanthosine promotes cell proliferation and regulates blood glucose metabolism. Xanthosine increases milk production in cows and goats. Xanthosine is used in mammary stem cell and type 2 diabetes research.

Description

Xanthosine is a nucleoside derived from xanthine and ribose. Xanthosine activates the AMPK/FoxO1/AKT/GSK3β signaling cascade. Xanthosine promotes cell proliferation and regulates blood glucose metabolism. Xanthosine increases milk production in cows and goats. Xanthosine is used in mammary stem cell and type 2 diabetes research[1][2][3][4][5][6].

In Vitro

Xanthosine (200 μM) increases the population of bovine mammary epithelial cells (MEC) during the exponential phase of cell growth, reduces the doubling time, promotes symmetric cell division[1].
Xanthosine (1.75-17.6 μM; 2 h) enhances glucose uptake, decreases glucose production, increases glycogen content, and activates AKT phosphorylation in FFA-induced CC1 hepatocytes[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Western Blot Analysis[3]

Cell Line: CC1 hepatocytes treated with FFA
Concentration: 1.75 μM, 3.52 μM, 7.04 μM, 10.56 μM, 14.07 μM, 17.6 μM
Incubation Time: 2 h pretreatment
Result: Upregulated AMPK phosphorylation and downregulated PEPCK and G6Pase protein expression.
Dose-dependently upregulated FoxO1 phosphorylation at Ser256.
Increased AKT phosphorylation, GSK-3β phosphorylation at Ser9, and GS phosphorylation.
In Vivo

Xanthosine (9.6 mg Xanthosine dehydrate dissolved in 300 μL PBS; i.p.; 14 consecutive days) has a latent negative effect on bovine mammary cell proliferation in immunodeficient mice with bovine mammary implants[2].
Xanthosine (up to 5 mg/kg) has no effect on the cat blood pressure[4].
Xanthosine (1.5-2 mL; 10 mM; intraductal infusion and parenchymal injection; 5 consecutive days) significantly increases the number of label-retaining epithelial cells (LREC) and telomerase activity in the mammary glands of female Holstein calves, indicating an expansion of the mammary stem cell population[5].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: NOD-SCID mice (female, 3-week-old) with bovine mammary implants[2]
Dosage: 9.6 mg xanthosine dehydrate dissolved in 300 µL PBS pH 10
Administration: Intraperitoneal injection (i.p.), 14 consecutive days
Result: Did not affect the relative number of label-retaining epithelial cells (LRECs) in bovine mammary implants.
Showed no significant long-term or latent effect on the relative proportion of different cell populations in the bovine mammary implants, including stem cells.
Reduced the levels of PCNA-positive and BrdU-positive cells by 60% and 30%, respectively, after 11 weeks.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
