Tauroursodeoxycholate (TUDCA) is a cytoprotective agent in a variety of cells including hepatocytes as well as an inducer of apoptosis in cancer cells[1]. Tauroursodeoxycholate, as an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress inhibitor, is effective in protecting the hepatocytes and restoring glucose homeostasis by reducing the endoplasmic reticulum stress[2].
In vitro, 200 µM TUDCA suppressed viability of hVSMCs (vascular smooth muscle cells) by inhibition of ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinase) phosphorylation, through induction of MKP-1 (MAPK phosphatase-1) via PKCα (protein kinase Cα). And TUDCA inhibited both the proliferation and migration of PDGF-stimulated hVSMCs[1]. In vitro, 25 µM Tauroursodeoxycholate (TUDC) increases plasma membrane multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2). And TUDC and cAMP increase Rab11 activity[3].
In vivo, TUDCA prevents the MPTP (1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine)-dependent decrease of dopaminergic fibers and ATP levels, mitochondrial dysfunction and neuroinflammation. TUDCA administration (50 mg/kg), the mice also displayed reduction in foot dragging and an overall improvement in gait[4]. Mice were treated with TUDCA 0.5 mg/g every 3 days, for a total of 7 injections, which showed an increase in neuromuscular junction innervation in the mutated mice[5]. TUDCA treatment (100 mg, 3 times/day) also reduces neurological impairment in rats with acute cerebral infarction[6].

Cell lines |
Hepatocytes and HuH‐NTCP cells |
|
Preparation Method |
Hepatocytes and HuH‐NTCP cells were treated with DMSO (Con), 100 µmol/L CPT‐cAMP (cAMP) for 15 min, 10 µmol/L TLC for 25 min, 100 µmol/L CPT‐cAMP + 10 µmol/L TLC for 25 min, or 25 µmol/L TUDC for 15 min or 10 µmol/L TLC for 25 min or 25 µmol/L TUDC + 10 µmol/L TLC for 25 min. |
|
Reaction Conditions |
25 µmol/L; 25 min |
|
Applications |
Cyclic AMP and TUDC inhibit TLC‐induced increases in plasma membrane PKC ε in rat hepatocytes. Cyclic AMP and TUDC inhibit TLC‐induced increases in plasma membrane PKC ε in HuH‐NTCP cells. |

Animal models |
TNBS(2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid)-induced ulcerative colitis in mice |
|
Preparation Method |
After the induction of colitis for 24h, the mice were administrated orally with tauroursodeoxycholate (20, 40 and 60mg/kg) and sulfasalazine (500mg/kg) by gavage for 7 consecutive days. The inhibition effects were evaluated by the body of weight change, survival rate, macroscopical and histological evaluations. |
|
Dosage form |
20, 40 and 60mg/kg; p.o. |
|
Applications |
Treatment with different doses of tauroursodeoxycholate (20, 40 and 60mg/kg) significantly improved the body weight change, decreased the macroscopic and histopathological scores. Compared with the model group, the accumulation of MPO activity, the colonic tissue levels of IL-1β, IFN-γ and TNF-α were significantly reduced in the tauroursodeoxycholate treated groups. Moreover, tauroursodeoxycholate assuaged the symptoms of colitis. |
