TAT-Gap19 TFA is a Cx mimetic peptide and a specific inhibitor of connexin 43 (Cx43) hemichannels (HCs)[1-2]. TAT-Gap19 TFA blocks Cx43 hemichannel activity by inhibiting glutamate-induced ATP release, and can cross the blood-brain barrier to reduce cerebral infarct volume and alleviate liver fibrosis. TAT-Gap19 TFA can be used for research related to cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and liver fibrosis[3-4].
In vitro, TAT-Gap19 TFA (400µM) treatment of gingival fibroblasts for 24 hours. TAT-Gap19 TFA significantly upregulated the expression of genes including various MMPs, TGF-β signaling molecules, Tenascin-C, and VEGF-A, while significantly downregulating the expression of pro-fibrotic molecules including various extracellular matrix proteins, myofibroblast, and cell contractility-related molecules[5]. Human coronary artery endothelial cells (TICAE) and human microvascular endothelial cells (TIME) were pretreated with TAT-Gap19 TFA (100µM) for 30 minutes, followed by X-ray irradiation (0.1 and 5Gy). TAT-Gap19 TFA significantly reduced radiation-induced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, cell death, the expression of pro-inflammatory factors/adhesion molecules, and premature cellular senescence, thereby alleviating radiation-induced endothelial cell damage[6].
In vivo, Balb/c mice with liver fibrosis induced by eight weeks of thioacetamide (TAA) administration were treated with TAT-Gap19 TFA (1mg/kg/day) via an osmotic pump implanted in the peritoneal cavity for two weeks. TAT-Gap19 TFA significantly reduced hepatic collagen deposition and the number of activated hepatic stellate cells (α-SMA-positive cells), increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and decreased lymphotactin production[7]. C57BL/6 mice with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) were treated with TAT-Gap19 TFA (1mg/kg/day, delivered continuously via an implanted osmotic pump for two weeks). TAT-Gap19 TFA significantly reduced liver steatosis score, lobular inflammation score, NAFLD activity score (NAS), hepatic triglyceride and cholesterol levels, and levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and TNF-α, while increasing SOD activity[8].

Applications | TAT-Gap19 TFA significantly reduced radiation-induced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, cell death (including apoptosis and necrosis), the expression of pro-inflammatory factors/adhesion molecules (including IL-1β, IL-8, VCAM-1, MCP-1, and Endothelin-1), and premature cellular senescence, thereby alleviating radiation-induced endothelial cell damage. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Male Balb/c mice |
Preparation Method | Liver fibrosis was induced in mice by intraperitoneal administration of thioacetamide (TAA) for eight weeks. Thereafter, mice were treated with TAT-Gap19 TFA via an osmotic pump implanted in the peritoneal cavity for two weeks. |
