Beschreibung (Description)

Ecdysterone is a naturally occurring ecdysone that controls molting (feathering) and metamorphosis in arthropods[1]. Ecdysterone can promote protein synthesis in skeletal muscle cells[2]. Ecdysterone can be used as a sports nutrition supplement and in metabolic disease research[3, 4].

In vitro, Ecdysterone (0-500μM) treatment of MCF7, MDA-MB-231, and MDA-MB-468 cells for 96h inhibited colony formation, cell proliferation, and induced cell death in the three cell lines[5]. Ecdysterone (1, 50, 100μM) pretreatment of PC12 cells for 24h reversed the cytotoxic effects induced by β-amyloid peptide fragment 25-35 (Aβ25-35) in a dose-dependent manner[6].

In vivo, subcutaneous injection of Ecdysterone (0.6, 0.8, 1mg/kg) in osteoarthritis (OA) rats for 4 weeks significantly improved the pathological state of cartilage tissue, inhibited inflammation in cartilage tissue, and upregulated the expression levels of autophagy markers LC3II/LC3I in cartilage tissue[7].

Protokoll (Protocol)

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

MCF7, MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468 cells

Preparation Method

1000 cells were planted per well on a 6-well plate, in triplicates. 24h later, the cells were treated with 0, 100, 150, 250, 350 or 500μM Ecdysterone for 96h. After treatment, fresh media was added, and cells were grown for 10 days. After the indicated time, cells were fixed with acetic acid/methanol (1:7, v/v) and stained with 0.5% crystal violet.

Reaction Conditions

0, 100, 150, 250, 350, 500μM; 96h

Applications

Photographs of plates with colonies clearly showed that not only the number of colonies, but also their size, was significantly reduced upon treatment with Ecdysterone.

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Osteoarthritis (OA) rats

Preparation Method

The OA rats were treated with 30mg/kg 3-methyladenine, 1mg/kg rapamycin, 0.6mg/kg Ecdysterone, 0.8mg/kg Ecdysterone and 1mg/kg Ecdysterone, respectively, with model rats without dosing as control. The administration route for 3-methyladenine and rapamycin was intraperitoneal injection and that for Ecdysterone was subcutaneous injection. The dosing frequency for all the 5 groups was twice a week for 4 weeks.

Dosage form

0.6, 0.8, 1mg/kg; twice a week for 4 weeks; s.c.

Applications

OA was alleviated by Ecdysterone on rats. The expression ratio of LC3II/LC3I was promoted greatly by Ecdysterone.

Allgemeine Hinweise
Wählen Sie anhand der Löslichkeitsdaten des Produkts ein geeignetes Lösungsmittel. Aliquotieren Sie die Stammlösung nach der Herstellung, um wiederholte Gefrier-Auftau-Zyklen zu vermeiden.
Verwenden Sie Stammlösungen bei Lagerung bei -80°C innerhalb von 6 Monaten bzw. bei -20°C innerhalb von 1 Monat.
Zur Verbesserung der Löslichkeit das Röhrchen auf 37°C erwärmen und für eine angemessene Dauer beschallen.
