Sodium palmitate is a common saturated fatty acid produced during the process of fatty acid synthesis. In the field of life science research, sodium palmitate is primarily used for studying cell metabolism, lipid research, and as a nutritional supplement in cell culture. Sodium palmitate can enhance lipogenesis and lipid droplet formation in various cell lines, and it is used to establish cell models of lipid droplet accumulation.
In vitro, Sodium palmitate (0.1, 0.25, or 0.5 mM; 12-72 h) can increase the mRNA levels of Notch1, -2, and -4 in LX2, Huh7, and MIHA liver cell lines[1]. Sodium palmitate can induce the expression of Glucose Regulated Protein 78 (GRP 78) and CCAAT/Enhancer Binding Protein Homologous Protein (CHOP) in mouse granule cells[2]. Moreover, treating LO2 cells with 100 µmol/l sodium palmitate for 48 hours significantly inhibits cell viability, and this concentration and incubation time can be used as a model of lipotoxicity in experiments[3].

Cell experiment [1]: |
|
Cell lines |
LX2, Huh7 and MIHA liver cell lines |
Preparation method |
PA was dissolved in DMEM containing 1% BSA and filtered through a 0.22-µm filter, then added to the cells and incubated at 37°C to 80% confluency in DMEM with 10% FBS. The concentrations of PA used were 0.1, 0.25 or 0.5 mM, and the incubation times were 12–72 h. |
Reaction Conditions |
0.1, 0.25, 0.5 mM;12-72 h |
Applications |
Sodium palmitate can increase the mRNA levels of Notch1, -2, and -4 in LX2, Huh7, and MIHA liver cell lines. |
Cell experiment [2]: |
|
Cell lines |
LO2 cells |
Preparation method |
cells were treated with sodium palmitate at 25, 50, 75, 100, 125 or 150 µmol/L and incubated for 12, 24 or 48 h. Following incubation, CCK-8 reagent was added into each well and the cells were incubated in humidified environment with 5% CO2 at 37°C for 2 h. |
Reaction Conditions |
25, 50, 75, 100, 125 or 150 µmol/L; 12, 24 or 48 h |
Applications |
Treating LO2 cells with greater than 100 µmol/l sodium palmitate for 48 h significantly inhibited cell viability and can be used as a lipotoxicity model in experiments. |
