Description of Geraniin

Geraniin, a TNF-α releasing inhibitor with an IC50 value of 43μM, exhibits numerous activities including anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and anti-hyperglycemic activities[1]. Geraniin can induce the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor Nrf2 and enhance glutathione (GSH) levels, thus reducing intracellular ROS levels in cells [2]. Geraniin has been widely used in cell and animal models to inhibit tumor growth and interfere with mitochondrial function[3].

In vitro, Geraniin treatment for 48 hours significantly inhibited the viability of OVCAR3 and SKOV3 cells with IC50 values of 34.5μM and 23.6μM, respectively[4]. Geraniin treatment at 36µM for 24h abrogated HT-29 cell growth and induced nuclear morphological changes and DNA fragmentation[5]. Treatment of T24 cells with 20µM Geraniin for 24 hours induced cell cycle arrest, decreased the proportion of T24 cells in S phase, promoted cell apoptosis, and regulated the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway[6].

In vivo, Geraniin (20mg/kg/day) administered daily by gavage for 14 days alleviated lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cognitive impairment, ameliorated LPS-induced nerve/synaptic damage, and reduced Aβ production in mice[7]. Daily gavage administration of Geraniin (8mg/kg/day) for 10 consecutive weeks could reduce the body weight of ApoE−/− mice on a high-fat diet, and lower the levels of serum triglycerides (TG) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)[8].

Protocol of Geraniin

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

OVCAR3 cells

Preparation Method

OVCAR3 cells were cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum at 37℃ in the presence of 5% CO2. OVCAR3 cells were seeded at a density of 5×103 cells/well in 96-well flat-bottom plates and cultured for 24 hours. Cells were treated with different concentrations of Geraniin (0, 5, 10, 20, 40, and 80µM), and the cell viability was detected after 48 hours.

Reaction Conditions

0, 5, 10, 20, 40, and 80µM; 48h

Applications

Geraniin treatment reduced the cell viability of OVCAR3 cells in a concentration-dependent manner.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Male ApoE−/− mice

Preparation Method

Male ApoE−/− mice (six weeks old) were housed in a Specific Pathogen-Free (SPF) experimental environment, with the temperature set at 24°C±1°C, relative humidity controlled between 40% and 50%, and exposed to a 12-h light–dark cycle. All mice were adaptively fed for one week. The ApoE−/− mice were randomly assigned to one of 2 groups (n=6 per group): (1) ApoE−/− mice model group; (2) Geraniin 8mg/kg/day (p.o.). All ApoE−/− mice were fed a high-fat diet (40% kcal fat) containing 0.5% cholesterol for 10 weeks. Mice were weighed weekly, and blood was collected for analysis.

Dosage form

8mg/kg/day for 10 weeks; p.o.

Applications

Geraniin treatment reduced the body weight of ApoE−/− mice on a high-fat diet, and decreased the levels of TG and LDL-C.
