Sample solution is provided at 25 µL, 10mM.
CALP1 TFA is an eight-residue complementary peptide that binds to the calcium-binding sites (the EF hand) of calmodulin [1]. CALP1 TFA interacts with the two carboxyl-terminal Ca2+-binding sites of calmodulin as well as the EF hands of troponin C, which results in a conformational change and activates phosphodiesterase in the absence of Ca2+[2]. CALP1 TFA has been widely used in allergic asthma models to mitigate the development of airway hyperresponsiveness [3].
In vitro, CALP1 TFA treatment (20µM) for 2 hours can increase the expression of the VPAC1 protein on the surface of monocytes infected by Salmonella[4]. 100µM of CALP1 TFA pretreatment for 15 minutes can reduce the excessive cytoplasmic Ca2+ signal and necrosis in mouse pancreatic acinar cells (PACs) induced by BH3I-2′[5]. Treatment with 100µM CALP1 TFA for 60 minutes can inhibit the adhesion of murine bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) to fibronectin induced by FcεRI[6]. Treatment with 10µM CALP1 TFA for 48 hours significantly inhibited the expression of TGF-β2 and IL-10 in C2C12 cells and promoted the upregulation of p-CaMKII, p-CaMKIV, and NFATc2 levels after IFN-γ stimulation[7].
In vivo, thirty minutes before ovalbumin challenge, a single dose of CALP1 TFA (1mg/ml; 0.1ml) was injected intratracheally, significantly reducing the infiltration of alveolar macrophages in the lungs of guinea pigs stimulated by ovalbumin and inhibiting the generation of free radicals[8].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | Bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) |
Preparation Method | BMMCs from BALB/c mice were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 4mM L-glutamine, 0.05µM 2-ME, 1mM sodium pyruvate, 100U/ml penicillin, 100mg/ml streptomycin, and 0.1mM nonessential amino acids in 5% CO2 at 37°C. Cells were placed in a 96 well-plate at a concentration of 5×105 cells per well and were treated with different concentrations of CALP1 TFA (0, 1, 10, 100µM) and 30ng/ml DNP-HAS (FcεRI clustering) for 30min, and then the Effect of CALP1 TFA on the degranulation of BMMCs was analyzed. |
Reaction Conditions | 0, 1, 10, 100µM; 30min |
Applications | CALP1 TFA treatment significantly reduced FcεRI-induced degranulation in BMMCs. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Guinea pigs |
Preparation Method | Specified-pathogen-free guinea pigs (300-400g) were housed in a specialized animal care facility, in a room with constant temperature (25°C), humidity control, and a 12/12h light/dark cycle with free access to food and water. Thirty minutes before ovalbumin challenge, guinea pigs received the control solution (0.1ml; positive control), CALP1 TFA (1mg/ml; 0.1ml), or CALP2 (3mg/ml; 0.1ml) intratracheally. Therefore, the guinea pigs were anaesthetized with halothane and placed in a supine position on a table. The jaws were kept apart by two elastic bands, and a needle with a bulbous tip was inserted just behind the glottis. Thereafter, 0.1ml of the solution was gently injected into the trachea, the bands were removed, and the chest was gently massaged. Broncho-alveolar lavage cells were obtained from pigs for analysis. |
Dosage form | 1mg/ml (1ml) for once; intratracheal injection |
Applications | CALP1 TFA treatment significantly reduced the influx of alveolar macrophages into the lungs of ovalbumin-challenged guinea pigs 6h after challenge. |
