Description

Loureirin B, a flavonoid extracted from Dracaena cochinchinensis, is an inhibitor of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), with an IC50 of 26.10?μM; Loureirin B also inhibits KATP, the phosphorylation of ERK and JNK, and has anti-diabetic activity.

In Vitro

Loureirin B enhances the relative mRNA level of Pdx-1 and MafA. Loureirin B (1, 0.1, and 0.01?μM) increases insulin secretion in Ins-1 cells. Loureirin B (0.01?μM) almost causes no toxicity on cells. Loureirin B improves the level of expressions of MafA and Pdx-1 and ATP level. Loureirin B inhibits the KATP current but increases the [Ca2+]i level in Ins-1 cells[1]. Loureirin B inhibits the expression of Col1 and FN, as well as the TGF-β1-mediated up regulation of p-JNK. Loureirin B also inhibits the up regulation of p-ERK that is induced by TGF-β1. Moreover, Loureirin B inhibits the contraction of TGF-β1-stimulated fibroblasts through the down regulation of p-ERK and p-JNK. However, Loureirin B does not suppress the up regulation of p-p38 that is induced by TGF-β1[2]. Loureirin B downregulates both mRNA and protein levels of type I collagen, type III collagen and α-smooth muscle actin in a dose dependent manner in HS fibroblasts. Loureirin B also suppresses fibroblast proliferative activity and redistributes cell cycle, but does not affect cell apoptosis[3].

In Vivo

Loureirin B significantly improves the arrangement and deposition of collagen fibres, decreases protein levels of ColI, ColIII and α-SMA and suppresses myofibroblast differentiation and scar proliferative activity, in a rabbit ear scar model. Loureirin B effectively inhibits TGF-β1-induced upregulation of ColI, ColIII and α-SMA levels, myofibroblast differentiation and the activation of Smad2 and Smad3, in NS fibroblasts[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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.90 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 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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.90 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.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Cell Assay
[1]

Ins-1 cells are seeded onto 96-well plates and cultured for 48 h to approximately 80-90% confluence. Then, the cells are starved in a 2% FBS/DMEM for 12 h. Control group is cultured in medium without loureirin B, while the positive control group is received fresh medium with glimepiride. After the treatment of loureirin B and glimepiride for 4 and 8 h, the cell viability is measured by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8).

Animal Administration
[3]

For short, 10 adult New Zealand white male rabbits (2.0-2.5 kg b.w./each) are acclimated and housed under the standard 12-h light: 12-h dark cycle with free access of water and SPF basal diet. Rabbit is first anaesthetized with 1% pentobarbital (1.5 mg/kg b.w.), and then, a dermal punch biopsy (10×4 mm) is created down to bare cartilage on the ventral surface of each ear to outline a full-thickness wound. Four punch wounds are made on each ear of the eight rabbits. A dissecting microscope is used to ensure the complete removal of epidermis, dermis and perichondrium in each wound. Forty-eight hours after surgery, wounded rabbits are randomLy divided into two groups with each being subcutaneously injected with DMSO solution (0.125% in PBS, 0.25 mL/kg b.w.) on the left ear or loureirin B solution (25 μg/mL in PBS, 0.25 mL/kg b.w.) on the right ear once every other day for total six times. Two rabbits are used for pilot experiment, four rabbits are sacrificed 14 days after injury (n = 4), and the rest four are sacrificed 28 days after injury (n=4). Two of the four scar tissues on the same ear are processed for Western blot, and the other two are used for Masson staining.

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.
