Description of Cholesteryl Myristate

Cholesterol myristate is a natural steroid present in traditional Chinese medicine. Cholesterol myristate binds to several ion channels such as the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, GABAA receptor, and the inward-rectifier potassium ion channel.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) transfected by the Id1 promoter reporter construct, cholesterol myristate increases the activity of Id1 promoter. Cholesterol myristate inhibits the apoptosis of MSCs induced by serum-free. Cholesterol myristate increases the expression of Id1 and its target gene bcl-x/l in MSCs treated with serum-free. Moreover, noggin, a BMP antagonist, reduces the anti-apoptotic effects of cholesterol myristate[1]. Cholesterol myristate inhibits the apoptosis of PC12 cells induced in serum-free condition. Cholesterol myristate significantly increases the expression of BMP4, BMPRIA, p-Smad1/5/8, Id1 and its antiapoptotic target gene Bcl-xL in PC12 cells treated in serum-free condition[1].

Protocol of Cholesteryl Myristate

Cell experiment:

MSCs are cultured with or without serum in 96-well plates and treated with cholesterol myristate in various concentrations (0, 30 and 300 μg/mL) for 3 days. Each sample is repeated in five independent wells and is incubated for 72 h. After incubation, 20 μL MTT (5 mg/mL) is added and the culture is incubated for a further 4 h. The culture medium is discarded and replaced with 150 μL DMSO. The absorbance at 490nm is measured[1].

Calculation results:

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
