Description

Streptozotocin (Streptozocin; STZ) is an antibiotic widely used in experimental animal models of induced diabetes. Streptozotocin enters B cells via the glucose transporter (GLUT2) and causes the alkylation of DNA ( DNA-methylating ). Streptozotocin can induce the apoptosis of β cells[1][2][3].

IC50 & Target

DNA alkylator[2]
In Vitro

The IC50 values of Streptozotocin for HL60, K562 and C1498 cells were 11.7, 904 and 1024 μg/ml, respectively[3].

In Vivo

Streptozotocin is suitable for constructing models of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Highly water-soluble, Streptozotocin, once absorbed, distributes widely throughout the body, including crossing the blood-brain barrier and placenta, entering various tissues. In the liver, Streptozotocin undergoes chemical modification, converting into an active form that causes DNA methylation and damages pancreatic β-cells, leading to diabetes. The elimination half-life of Streptozotocin varies depending on the species and route of administration.

Induction of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM)[3][4][5]
Background
Induces disease by direct destroying the animal's islet β beta cells.
Specific Mmodeling Methods
Mice: C57BL/6 • female • 10 week-old
Administration: 200 mg/kg • i.p. • single high dose.
Rat: Sprague-Dawley or Wistar rats • male • 8-10 weeks-old
Administration: 65 mg/kg • i.p. • single high dose.
Note
Tips:
1) The sensitivity of different species of animals to STZ varies greatly, and it is recommended to use male rats (female mice are more tolerant to STZ) [3];
2) Fasting without water before administration can increase the sensitivity of pancreatic β cells to STZ. STZ injection in model animals generally requires rapid injection;
3) Different strains of mice have different sensitivities to STZ. Studies have reported that the DBA/2 strain is the most sensitive, followed by C57BL6. Balb/cJ mice are resistant to multiple low-dose STZ-induced diabetes[4];
4) After STZ treatment, animals die due to fatal hypoglycemia due to massive necrosis of pancreatic β-cells and sudden release of insulin, usually within 48 hours after injection. To prevent this, it is best to provide animals with 10% sucrose water regularly after STZ treatment. If animal mortality exceeds 20% when using a single high-dose STZ diabetic mouse protocol, treat animals with an intraperitoneal injection of 5% glucose solution within 6 hours of STZ injection[5];
5) Preliminary experiments are required, and it is not recommended to directly use the administration methods and dosages in the literature.
Modeling Indicators
Blood glucose level : Blood glucose level exceeds 300 mg/dL(16.7 mmoL/L).
Other indicators : generally accompanied by increased water intake, urine volume, and weight loss. Serum biochemical indexes such as total cholesterol, aspartate aminotransferase, triglyceride and low density lipoprotein also increased significantly with the occurrence of diabetes.

Induction of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM)[3][4][5]
Background
The disease is induced by partially destroying the animals' islet β cells, making the peripheral tissue insensitive to insulin, and by feeding them a high-calorie diet.
Specific Mmodeling Methods
Mice: C57BL/6 • female • 10 week-old
Administration: • i.p. • high-fat diet+low-dose injection of 40 mg/kg STZ for 4 days.
Rat: Sprague-Dawley or Wistar rats • male • 8-10 weeks-old
Administration: i.p. • 8 weeks of high-fat diet+low-dose injection of 25 mg/kg STZ for 5 days.

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.
