Description of Pam2CSK4

Pam2CSK4 is a potent agonist of TLR2/TLR6, with an EC50 value of 0.015ng/ml[1]. Pam2CSK4 can activate the platelet nuclear factor-κB and Bruton's tyrosine kinase signaling pathway to promote platelet-endothelial cell interaction[2]. Pam2CSK4 has been widely used as an adjuvant for the development of novel vaccines that can significantly improve the titer of antigen-specific neutralizing antibodies and the persistence of humoral immunity[3].

In vitro, Pam2CSK4 treatment (100ng/ml) of nucleus pulposus (NP) cells isolated from nondegenerative intervertebral discs for 48 hours significantly increased the secretion of several proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines such as IL-6, IL-8, CXCL1, GRO, and CCL2[4]. Treatment of RAW264.7 cells with 100ng/ml Pam2CSK4 for 6 hours significantly promoted the expression of iNOS and stimulated the production of NO[5]. Treatment of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBM) with 100ng/ml Pam2CSK4 for 24 hours synergistically enhanced IgG-mediated TNFα production and significantly upregulated Fcγ receptor (FcγR) expression[6].

In vivo, Pam2CSK4 administration via intraperitoneal injection at a dose of 250μg/kg/day for 8 days significantly promoted weight gain and colon length increase during colitis onset and alleviated colitis damage in mice[7].

Protocol of Pam2CSK4

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Caco-2 cells

Preparation Method

Caco-2 cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 100U/ml penicillin, and 100μg/ml streptomycin in a humidified incubator at 37℃ with 5% CO2. Caco-2 cells (4×105cells/ml) were seeded in 96-well culture plates and cultured until complete confluence. Cells were cultured in serum-free DMEM medium for 18h and then treated with 0.1µg/ml Pam2CSK4 for 24h. Cell culture supernatants were collected and IL-8 production was measured.

Reaction Conditions

0.1µg/ml; 24h

Applications

Pam2CSK4 treatment significantly enhanced IL-8 levels in Caco-2 cells.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

BALB/c mice

Preparation Method

BALB/c mice were raised in a standard environment and had free access to food and water. 3% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS), with a molecular weight of 36,000-50,000Da, was added to the drinking water of the mice for 7 days. At the same time, from the first day of DSS administration, Pam2CSK4 was intraperitoneally injected for 8 consecutive days at a dose of 250μg/kg/day. The mouse samples were collected for analysis.

Dosage form

250μg/kg/day for 8 days; i.p.

Applications

Pam2CSK4 treatment promoted weight gain and colon length increase during colitis onset and alleviated colitis damage in mice.
