In Vivo

Progesterone can be used to create melasma models^[6].

Induction of chloasma^[6]

Background

Progesteroneincrease the pigmentation and body weight. The body weight gain was believed to be due to sodium and fluid retention, which may further affect the intracellular pH of melanosomes, which synthesize melanin, in turn, leading to melanin production because tyrosinase activity is linked to the intracellular pH environment^[7].

Specific Mmodeling Methods

Mice: 6-8 weeks, female C57BL/6J mice
Administration: 15 mg/kg; Injected intramuscularly, daily for 30 days

Note

Selected 3*3 cm² area on the back of mice, shaved the hair, and then irradiated with UVB (λ=312 nm, 2 h/day).

Modeling Indicators

Molecular changes: Caused cutaneous tissue injury, scab format and skin got blacker, induced a severe epidermal hyperplasia, hair follicles necrosis, and fibrous tissue hyperplasia, showed melanophores enriched in the epidermis, increased the expression of p-JNK /JNK and p-P38MAPK/ P38MAPK

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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (6.61 mM); Clear solution

This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (6.61 mM); Clear solution

This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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.
Protocol 3

Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% Corn Oil
Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (6.61 mM); Clear solution

This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
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: Corn Oil
Solubility: 10 mg/mL (31.80 mM); Clear solution; Need ultrasonic
Protocol 2

Add each solvent one by one: 50% PEG300 50% Saline
Solubility: 20 mg/mL (63.60 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

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.
