Description of CRF, bovine

CRF, bovine is an important neuropeptide consisting of 41 amino acids[1], it is produced by the hypothalamus and is transported to the pituitary, where it triggers the release of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)[2]. CRF, bovine plays a significant role in social behavior and is commonly utilized in research of various psychiatric disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and substance/alcohol abuse[3][4].

CRF, bovine (0.1µM; 3h) treatment can rapidly stimulated cyclic AMP production, increasing it 4- to 6-fold in 3min and reaching a peak of 10- to 15-fold at 30min in rat anterior pituitary cells[5]. In RAW 264.7 cells, treatment with CRF, bovine at 10nM for 4 hours enhanced the NF-κB-mediated luciferase expression[6].

CRF, bovine play important roles in sociability, intracerebroventricular administration of CRF, bovine (5µg/2µL; 30min) significantly decreased the number of entries and the time of interaction with the unknown male mice[7]. CRF (100ng; icv) consistently decreased immobility in the tail suspension test (TST) and the forced swim test (FST) in unshocked mice[8].

Protocol of CRF, bovine

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Rat anterior pituitary cells

Preparation Method

Rat anterior pituitary cells were treated with 0.1µM CRF, bovine for 3h. Then the cyclic AMP content was measured. For cyclic AMP measurement, cells were incubated for 30min with 1mM methylisobutylxanthine. Cell suspensions were boiled in equal volumes of PBS for 10min, then cooled and centrifuged at 1500g for 20min, the cyclic AMP content of the supernatant was measured by radioimmunoassay.

Reaction Conditions

0.1µM; 3h

Applications

CRF, bovine treatment can rapidly stimulated cyclic AMP production in rat anterior pituitary cells.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Male CFLP mice

Preparation Method

The mice were implanted with a stainless steel Luer cannula aimed at the right lateral cerebral ventricle, the mice were allowed for 5 days to recover after the surgery then treated with CRF, bovine. Thirty minutes after ICV injection of the CRF, bovine mice were investigated in a social interaction test arena.

Dosage form

5µg/2µL; 30min; icv.

Applications

CRF, bovine decreased the number of entries and the time of interaction with the unknown male.
