Tunicamycin Mixture es una mezcla de antibióticos nucleósidos homólogos que inhibe la N-glycosylación y bloquea la fosfotransferasa de GlcNAc (GPT)[1]. Tunicamycin Mixture puede inducir estrés del retículo endoplásmico celular (ER) y conducir al bloqueo de la síntesis de DNA y a la detención de la fase G1 [2]. Tunicamycin Mixture inhibe las bacterias Gram-positivas, las levaduras, los hongos y los virus y tiene actividadanticancerígena[3].
In vitro, el pretratamiento de las células RAW264.7 con Tunicamycin Mixture (0.5μg/ml) durante 2h significativamente la producción de nitrito inducida por LPS y debilitó la expresión de iNOS y COX-2 mRNA y proteína de COX-2 [4]. Tunicamycin Mixture (1-20μg/ml) trató las células PC-3 de cáncer de próstata durante 24-96h, la viabilidad celular reducida dependiente de la dosis, bloqueó la formación de N-glycosylation en proteínas y el estrés del endoplasmic reticulum inducido [5] .
In vivo, Tunicamycin Mixture tratada con ratones (1mg/kg) a través de inyección intraperitoneal aumentó significativamente la acumulación de triglicéridos hepáticos, inhibió la secreción de lipoproteína hepática y redujo los niveles de glucosa en sangre y el contenido de glucógeno hepático[6]. La administración de Tunicamycin mixture (2μg) a través de la administración intratraqueal en un modelo de asma neutrófila( ratones OVALPS-OVA) aumentó los niveles de expresión de proteínas de los marcadores de estrés del retículo endoplasmático y las citoquinas inflamatorias, lo que llevó a un fenotipo de asma más grave en los ratones[7].

Líneas celulares | Células RAW264.7 |
Método de preparación | Las células RAW264.7 fueron pretratadas con 0.5μg/ml de Tunicamycin Mixture durante 2h y luego se incubaron con LPS durante 18h. |
Condiciones de reacción | 0.5μg/ml; 2 h |
Áreas de aplicación | Tunicamycin Mixture redujo significativamente la producción/liberación de nitrito inducida por LPS y atentó iNOS y COX-2 mRNA y la expresión de proteínas. |
| Experimentos con animales [2]: | |
Modelos animales | C57BL/6 ratones macho |
Método de preparación | Los ratones se dividieron aleatoriamente en 2 grupos de acuerdo con un peso corporal promedio similar y el nivel de glucosa en sangre. Un grupo fue inyectado por vía intraperitoneal con 1mg/kg de Tunicamycin Mixture o vehículo. El peso corporal y el nivel de glucosa en sangre en estado alimentado se midieron 24 horas después de la inyección. Más tarde, los ratones fueron sacrificados con dióxido de carbono, seguido de dislocación cervical. |
Forma de dosificación | 1mg/kg;i.p. |
Áreas de aplicación | El tratamiento de Tunicamycin Mixture durante 24 horas significativamente la acumulación de triglicéridos hepáticos, inhibió la secreción de lipoproteínas hepáticas y redujo los niveles de azúcar en la sangre y el contenido de glucógeno hepático. |
