Description of α-Estradiol

α-Estradiol, a natural form of the hormone lacking estrogenic effects, inhibits the activity of 5-alpha reductase enzymes [1]. α-Estradiol can cross the blood-brain barrier and bind to the brain-specific estrogen receptor ER-X, thereby influencing the regulation of energy metabolism in the central nervous system [2]. α-Estradiol has been widely used to extend the lifespan of male mice and reduce the neuroinflammatory response in the hypothalamus of mice[3].

In vitro, α-Estradiol (10nM) treatment for 24 hours significantly inhibited H2O2-induced cell death in SN4741 cells[4]. Treatment with 100nM α-Estradiol for 24 hours significantly reduced the death of PC12 cells induced by 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP) and restored the expression of dopamine transporter proteins[5].

In vivo, α-Estradiol treatment via oral administration at a dose of 4.8mg/kg daily for 12 months significantly prolonged the lifespan of male mice[6]. Oral administration of α-Estradiol at a dose of 14.4mg/kg/day for 8 months significantly altered hepatic metabolism and increased the levels of multiple amino acids in male mice [1]. Oral administration of α-Estradiol at a dose of 14.4mg/kg daily for 6 months significantly improved skeletal muscle and myofiber phenotype as well as physical function in male mice[7].

Protocol of α-Estradiol

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

SN4741 cells

Preparation Method

SN4741 cells were cultured in MEM medium buffered with 10mM NaHCO3 and 25mM HEPES, supplemented with 2mM l-glutamine, 2% glucose, 1mM sodium pyruvate, 10% fetal bovine serum, 8% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and 15mM KCl. After 24h, cells had multiplied to near confluence, the medium was replaced with culture medium supplemented with 0.5% fetal bovine serum. Cells were incubated at 40°C in α-Estradiol (10nM), raloxifene (10nM), or ICI 182,780 (100nM) dissolved in DMSO. The control cell received an equal amount of DMSO. After 24h of incubation withα-Estradiol, H2O2 was added (50μM) and allowed to remain on the cultures for 24h, the cell viability was analyzed.

Reaction Conditions

10nM; 24h

Applications

α-Estradiol treatment significantly inhibited H2O2-induced cell death in SN4741 cells.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

UM-HET3 mice

Preparation Method

UM-HET3 mice (16 months old) were maintained under a 12h light and 12h dark cycle at a temperature of 25°C and humidity of 50%±10%, free with water and diet. The mice were fed with a diet containing 14.4mg/kg of α-Estradiol every day for 6 months, and the motor abilities were analyzed.

Dosage form

14.4mg/kg/day; 6 months; p.o.

Applications

α-Estradiol treatment improved rotarod balance capacity and endurance capacity in mice.
