3-Oxocholic Acid is a 3-oxo bile acid metabolite with bile acid metabolic activity. 3-Oxocholic Acid regulates bile acid synthesis and transport-related genes and acts on FXR and TGR5 to maintain bile acid homeostasis. 3-Oxocholic Acid reduces Th17-mediated intestinal inflammation through regulation of immune pathways such as RORγt. 3-Oxocholic Acid can be used in studies of cholestasis, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, and inflammatory bowel disease[1-4].
In vitro, 20µM 3-Oxocholic Acid was applied to mouse CD4+ T cells for 3 days. 3-Oxocholic Acid inhibited IL-17a production by the cells. 10µM 3-Oxocholic Acid was applied to HEK293 cells for 16 hours. 3-Oxocholic Acid decreased Gal4-DBD-RORγt reporter gene luciferase activity[5].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
|
Cell lines |
HEK293 cells (human embryonic kidney cell line) |
|
Preparation Method |
HEK293 cells were maintained in antibiotic-free Dulbecco's minimal essential medium (DMEM) containing 1% fetal calf serum (FCS) at 37°C, 5% CO2. HEK293 cells were transfected with a DNA mixture containing firefly luciferase reporter plasmid, Renilla luciferase plasmid, and Gal4-DNA binding domain-RORγ plasmid. 3-Oxocholic Acid (10μM) was added 24 hours after transfection. Luciferase activity was measured 16 hours after 3-Oxocholic Acid addition. |

Reaction Conditions |
10μM; 16h |
|
Applications |
3-Oxocholic Acid did not significantly reduce RORγt reporter activity in HEK293 cells. |
