    In Vitro

    iCRT3 is an inhibitor of both Wnt and β-catenin-responsive transcription. iCRT3 significantly decreases TOP Flash activity and reduces the level of NTSR1. The anti-apoptotic effects of Neurotensin (NTS) and Wnt3a can be largely abrogated by iCRT3[1]. Cells maintained long term with iCRT3 show enhanced expression of classic pluripotency genes compare with the DMSO control, whereas expression of differentiation markers and T-cell factor (TCF) target genes is concomitantly reduced[2]. Treatment with iCRT3 at doses of 12.5, 25, 50, and 75 μM decreases TNF-α levels by 14.7%, 18.5%, 44.9% and 61.3%, respectively. With iCRT3 treatment, IκB levels are increased in a dose-dependent manner compare to the vehicle[3].

    In Vivo

    The tumor growth rates are markedly retarded by iCRT3 treatment. Consistently, the tumor-suppressive role of iCRT3 is accompanied with a reduction in Ki67 index, a proliferation marker[1]. The IL-6 levels in the 10 mg/kg iCRT3 treatment group are 82.9% lower than those in the vehicle group. IL-1β levels are undetectable in the sham but reach 371 pg/mL in septic mice and are down by 30.2% and 53.2%, respectively, with 5 and 10 mg/kg iCRT3. With iCRT3 treatment at doses of 5 and 10 mg/kg, AST levels in these septic mice are 15.4% and 44.2% lower, respectively, than those in the vehicle-treated mice. After treatment with 10 mg/kg iCRT3, lung morphology is improved with much reduced microscopic deterioration, compare to the vehicle group. The number of apoptotic cells in the lung tissues of the iCRT3-treated mice is significantly reduced by 92.7% in comparison with the vehicle group[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 (6.34 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% Corn Oil

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.34 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 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 (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

    Cell Assay
    [1]

    Cells are seeded into 96-well plates to a density of 5×103 cells per well and incubated in the culture medium with iCRT3 for an additional 48 h. Cell viability and cell apoptosis assays are carried out using a Cell Counting kit-8 and a Caspase-Glo 3/7 assay kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions, respectively[1].

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

    Animal Administration
    [1]

    NOD-SCID BALB/c mice are inoculated subcutaneously in the right back with 2×106 A172 cells. The growth of the primary tumors is recorded every 4 days. iCRT3 (5 mg/kg) is diluted in PBS i.p. triweekly when tumors grow to ~200 mm3. The control mice are treated with blank PBS containing 5% (v/v) DMSO. Tumor volume is evaluated with the following formula: volume=tumor length×width2/2. The mice are sacrificed 24 days after pharmaceutical treatment. The tumors are resected and embedded in paraffin, and the Ki67 staining is analyzed by immunohistochemistry[1].

    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.
