Description

Hypoxanthine is a metabolite of the purine catabolism pathway[1]. Hypoxanthine can be used as rapid and sensitive bio-marker for acute cardiac ischemia at an early stage[2]. Hypoxanthine acts as a substrate for xanthine oxidase and is associated with ROS (reactive oxygen species), which contribute to vascular dysfunction and atherosclerosis[1].

Hypoxanthine (1.5, 2mM; 2h) induced ROS generation and increased cholesterol levels in HepG2 cells[1].

Hypoxanthine (200mg/kg; 8weeks; p.o.) significantly increased the cholesterol ester levels in Apoe KO mice[1]. Hypoxanthine (135mg/kg; 3d; i.v.) consistently increased the brain infarct volume in C57BL/6J mice underwent middle cerebral artery occlusion surgery[3].

Protocol

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Human HepG2 hepatic carcinoma cells

Preparation Method

HepG2 cells were seeded at a density of 1×104 cells/well in a black 96-well plate. Cells were incubated with a solution of 50μM DCFH-DA (2’,7’-dichlorofluorescein diacetate) in serum-free medium for 30min. This was followed by washing the cells twice with PBS. The cells were then incubated with Hypoxanthine for 2h. Intracellular ROS levels were determined using a fluorescence microscope.

Reaction Conditions

1.5, 2mM; 2h

Applications

Hypoxanthine induced ROS generation in HepG2 cells.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

C57BL/6J mice

Preparation Method

Adult C57BL/6J mice were received middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) surgery. Intravenous injection of Hypoxanthine (135mg/kg) was carried out from one day before MCAO to one day after MCAO. Infarct volume assessment by triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining.

Dosage form

135mg/kg; 3d; i.v.

Applications

Hypoxanthine consistently increased the brain infarct volume.
