    In Vitro

    Capsazepine (50 μM) optimally enhances the upregulation of (death receptors) DRs without affecting cell viability HCT116 cells. Capsazepine (30-50 μM) induces ROS generation and ROS mediate Capsazepine-induced DR5 upregulation in HCT116 cells[1]. Capsazepine (1-100 μM, 45 min preincubation) inhibits the evoked CGRP-LI release. Capsazepine (3-100 μM) prevents low pH- and capsaicin-induced CGRP-LI release from rat soleus muscle at concentrations which do not affect the release evoked by KCl. Capsazepine (3-100 μM, without 10 μM) produces a nonspecific inhibitory effect on CGRP-LI release from peripheral endings of the capsaicin-sensitive primary afferent neurone[2].

    In Vivo

    Capsazepine (15 mg/kg, s.c.) prevents the increase in respiratory system resistance and decreases the increase in tissue damping during endotoxemia. Capsazepine attenuates lung injury evidenced by reduction on collapsed area of the lung parenchyma induced by LPS[3].

    In Vivo:

    Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

    For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
    To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    • Protocol 1

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

      Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (13.27 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

      Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
    • Protocol 2

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (13.27 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Cell Assay
    [1]

    To assay intracellular ROS, HCT116 cells are preincubated with 20 μM dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCF DA) for 15 min at 37°C and then treated with Capsazepine. After 1 h of incubation, the increase in fluorescence resulting from the oxidation of DCF DA to DCF is measured by flow cytometry. The mean fluorescence intensity at 530 nm is calculated for at least 10,000 cells at a flow rate of 250-300 cells/s.

    Animal Administration
    [3]

    To verify the role of TRPV1 on lung mechanics during LPS-induced ALI, the animals (n = 10 per group) are pre-treated with vehicle or Capsazepine (15 mg/kg; s.c.), then receive saline or LPS (5 mg/kg, i.p.) after 10 min. Thus, the mice are randomly divided into four groups with 10 mice in each group: (i) control (vehicle + saline), (ii) Capsazepine + saline, (iii) vehicle + LPS and (iv) Capsazepine + LPS. After a 24-hr treatment with saline or LPS, the mice are anaesthetized and paralysed and lung mechanics function is evaluated. Afterwards, the lungs are removed for histology.

    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.
