Ginsenoside Rg5 is the main component of Red ginseng and IGF-1R agonist. Ginsenoside Rg5 compets for the binding site of IGF-1R and blocks the binding of IGF-1 to IGF-1R (IC50 about 90 nM). Ginsenoside Rg5 also inhibits the mRNA expression of COX-2 via suppression of the DNA binding activities of NF-κB p65.

Ginsenoside Rg5 also inhibits the mRNA expression of COX-2 via suppression of the DNA binding activities of NF-κB p65.

In Vitro

Ginsenoside Rg5 plays a novel role as an IGF-1R agonist. Ginsenoside Rg5 has angiogenic activity, which is inhibited by IGF-1R knockdown. To investigate the possible interaction of Ginsenoside Rg5 with IGF-1R, a docking analysis is performed. Docking results show that Ginsenoside Rg5 binds strongly at two sites, A and B, with Kd values of 20 and 27 nM, respectively, to the cysteine-rich domain of IGF-1R. Pretreatment with Rg5 blocks the binding of radiolabeled IGF-1 to HUVECs with an IC50 value of ~90 μM, which is greater than an IC50 value of ~1.4 nM for unlabeled IGF-1[1]. The results from MTT assay show that MCF-7 cell proliferation is inhibited by Ginsenoside Rg5 treatment for 24, 48 and 72 h in a dose-dependent manner. Ginsenoside Rg5 at different concentrations (0, 25, 50 and 100 μM), induce cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase through regulation of cell cycle-related proteins in MCF-7 cells[3].

Ginsenoside Rg5 Related Antibodies
In Vivo

Ginsenoside Rg5 inhibits the mRNA expression of COX-2 via suppression of the DNA binding activities of NF-κB p65 in lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-stimulated BV2 microglial cells. Rg5 pretreated group mice show declined expression of NF-κB p65 and COX-2. In the group treated with low dose of Ginsenoside Rg5 (10 mg/kg), there is remarkable tubular damage and infiltration of inflammatory cells. However, at the higher dose of Ginsenoside Rg5 (20 mg/kg), tubules markedly appeare histologically normal and no inflammation and cast formation is observed in kidney tissues[2].

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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (3.26 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

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

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (3.26 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

Kinase Assay
[1]

HUVECs are cultured in 24-well plates overnight. The cells are changed to serum-free M199 and incubated for 1 h. The medium is removed, and cells are incubated with fresh serum-free medium containing 0.1 μM-50 mM Ginsenoside Rg5 at 37°C for 20 min followed by the addition of 50 μL (1 μCi) of [125I]IGF-1 and then further incubated for 10 min. The medium is decanted, and cell plates are washed twice with serum-free medium. Cells are lysed in 300 μL of 0.1 N NaOH solution containing 0.1% SDS, transferred to scintillation vials, and mixed with 1 mL of Ultima Gold mixture solution. Cell-associated [125I]IGF-1 is analyzed in a scintillation counter. The nonspecific binding is determined by coincubation with unlabeled IGF-1 (50 nM)[1].

Cell Assay
[3]

MCF-7 (HER2-/ER+) and MDA-MB-453 (HER2+/ER-) human breast cancer cell lines are maintained using RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% (vol/vol) FBS plus 100 units/mL Penicillin and Streptomycin in a 5% carbon dioxide air incubator at 37°C. Cell cytotoxicity is measured by MTT assay. Cells are seeded in 96-well tissue culture plates at the density of 0.2×104 cells per well with 100 μL medium, and are allowed to become attached for 24 h. One hundred microliters of the medium with different concentrations of Ginsenoside Rg5 (e.g., 0 μM, 25 μM, 50 μM, and 100 μM) are added to each well. At indicated times, 30 μL MTT stock solution (3 mg/mL) are added to each well. After culturing the cells at 37°C for 2 h, DMSO is added to dissolve the formazan crystals. The absorbance is read at the wavelength of 540 nm with a microplate reader[3].

Animal Administration
[2]

Mice[2]
Male ICR mice (6 to 8 weeks old), weighing 25-27 g, are used. After acclimation for one week, mice are randomly assigned into 4 experimental groups with 8 mice in each group: normal control, Cisplatin control, and Cisplatin+Ginsenoside Rg5 groups (10 and 20 mg/kg, respectively). Ginsenoside Rg5 is administered intragastrically at the dose of 10 and 20 mg/kg for 10 days. On the 7th day, animals in Cisplatin control and Ginsenoside Rg5-treated groups receive a single intraperitoneal injection of Cisplatin (25 mg/kg) to induce nephrotoxicity in mice. Mice are anaesthetized with pentobarbital, subsequently sacrificed at 72 h after Cisplatin injection (Day 10). Blood samples are collected and then centrifuged at 3000 rpm to separate the serum and stored at -20 °C for determining blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (CRE) levels.

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.
