Description of Travoprost

Travoprost is a synthetic ester prodrug of a prostaglandin F2α analogue that inhibits IKir6.2/Sur2a ion channel with an IC50 value of 3μM [1]. Travoprost is hydrolyzed into the active FP prostaglandin receptor agonist by the cornea and sclera, improving trabecular outflow facility[2].Travoprost has been widely used as an eye drop to reduce intraocular pressure in vivo experiments[3].

In vitro, Travoprost treatment at 20µg/ml for 20min significantly inhibited the viability of primary human limbal epithelial cells (LECs) and inhibited cell proliferation[4]. 35µg/ml Travoprost treatment for 72 hours significantly inhibited CD31 and CD54 expression in conjunctiva-derived epithelial cells[5]. Aniridia limbal stromal cells (AN-LSCs) were treated with 0.313μg/ml Travoprost for 20 minutes, resulting in an increase in the MMP-9 protein level of the cells, and an elevation in the mRNA levels of PTGFR and JNK[6].

Protocol of Travoprost

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Human limbal epithelial cells (LECs)

Preparation Method

Human limbal epithelial cells (LECs) were seeded into individual wells of six-well culture plates, and 2.5ml of KGM3 medium was added to each well. After the cells reached complete confluence, the cells were digested using trypsin-EDTA and subsequently reseeded into 96-well plates. LECs were cultured at 37°C, 95% humidity, and 5% CO2 under standard culture conditions. The cells were treated with various concentrations of Travoprost (0.078, 0.156, 0.313, 0.625, 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40μg/ml) for 20min and analyzed for viability.

Reaction Conditions

0.078, 0.156, 0.313, 0.625, 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40μg/ml; 20min

Applications

Travoprost treatment decreased the cell viability of LECs in a dose-dependent manner.
