Description of Tetracycline

Tetracycline (TC) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic with oral activity. It is effective against a variety of bacteria, including gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, chlamydia, mycoplasma, and Rickettsia. It is used in the study of infections and can induce gene expression in the corresponding system[1-4].

Tetracycline (6.25-250 μM) was dose-dependent on NO synthetase activity and nitrite formation in J774 cells[5].

Tetracycline treatment delays the onset and slows the progression of diabetes in human amylin/islet amyloid polypeptide (hA/hIAPP) transgenic mice. Chronic oral administration of tetracycline (0.03 mg/ml in drinking water) from weaning enhances glycemic control and extends lifespan in hemizygous mice [6]. In a dog model of acute ischemia, 4mg/kg tetracycline injected 30 min prior to the occlusion improved the functional recovery from stunning of myocardium caused by ischemia[7]. Tetracycline injection at single doses of 1.5, 10, and 20 mg/kg significantly protected mice from a lethal intraperitoneal injection of LPS[8].

Protocol of Tetracycline

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

J774 macrophage

Preparation Method

Cells were cultured in medium stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (1 μg/ml) and treated with varying doses of tetracycline.

Reaction Conditions

6.25-250 μM; 6h

Applications

Tetracycline reduced lipopolysaccharide-stimulated inducible NO synthase activity and nitrite formation in a dose-dependent manner.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Adult mongrel dogs (acute ischemia model)

Preparation Method

Saline or tetracycline (4 mg/kg in saline) was administered intravenously at a volume of 0.5 mL/kg, 30 minutes before the ligation. The ligature around the coronary artery was tightened for 20 minutes and then released to allow reperfusion.

Dosage form

4 mg/kg; i.p

Applications

Tetracycline, injected 30 minutes before the occlusion, enhanced the functional recovery of the myocardium from stunning caused by ischemia.
