COA Handling Instructions

Chicoric acid (Cichoric acid), an orally active dicaffeyltartaric acid, induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Chicoric acid inhibits cell viability and induces mitochondria-dependent apoptosis in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes through ROS-mediated PI3K/Akt and MAPK signaling pathways. Chicoric acid increases glucose uptake, improves insulin resistance, and attenuates glucosamine-induced inflammation. Chicoric acid has antidiabetic properties and antioxidant, anti-inflammatory effects.

Description

Chicoric acid (Cichoric acid), an orally active dicaffeyltartaric acid, induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Chicoric acid inhibits cell viability and induces mitochondria-dependent apoptosis in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes through ROS-mediated PI3K/Akt and MAPK signaling pathways. Chicoric acid increases glucose uptake, improves insulin resistance, and attenuates glucosamine-induced inflammation. Chicoric acid has antidiabetic properties and antioxidant, anti-inflammatory effects[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Chicoric acid (Cichoric acid; 10-200 μM; for 24, 48, and 72 h) causes a dose- and time-dependent decrease in cell viability[1].
Chicoric acid (100 μM; 48 h) induces apoptosis through caspase-3-dependent pathway[1].
Chicoric acid (100 μM; 48 h) decreases the protein level of p-Akt[1].
Chicoric acid (25, 50, 100 µM; for 24 hours) dramatically improves glucose uptake in a dose-dependent manner, and Chicoric acid further enhances insulin-induced (100 nM; 30 min) glucose uptake by 57.7% in HepG2 cells[2].
Chicoric acid (100 µM; for 24 hours) restores glucosamine-induced impairment of GLUT2 translocation through activating PI3K/Akt pathway in HepG2 cells[2].
Chicoric acid (100 µM) has no effects on HepG2 cell viability[2].

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: 3T3-L1 preadipocytes
Concentration: 10-200 μM
Incubation Time: 24, 48, and 72 hours
Result: Had no effect on the viability of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes with 10-50 μM for 24 h, but significantly decreased cell viability with 100 μM and 200 μM.

Apoptosis Analysis[1]

Cell Line: 3T3-L1 preadipocytes
Concentration: 100 μM
Incubation Time: 48 hours
Result: Demonstrated typical characteristics of apoptosis such as cell shrinkage, chromatin condensation, and the increased permeability of cell membranes after DAPI and AO/EB staining.

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: 3T3-L1 preadipocytes
Concentration: 100 μM
Incubation Time: 48 hours
Result: Decreased the protein level of p-Akt in a dose- and time-dependent manner.
The protein level of total Akt was not affected
In Vivo

Chicoric acid (Cichoric acid; 60 mg/kg/day; drinking water for 4 weeks) inhibits pancreas apoptosis and adjusts islet function in diabetic mice, leading to an increase in insulin generation and secretion in C57BL/6J mice with Streptozotocin (STZ; 50 mg/kg; ip; for consecutive 5 days)[3].

Animal Model: C57BL/6J mice with STZ (50 mg/kg; ip; for consecutive 5 days)[3]
Dosage: 60 mg/kg
Administration: Drinking water; daily; for 4 weeks
Result: Inhibited pancreas apoptosis and adjusted islet function in diabetic mice, leading to an increase in insulin generation and secretion.
Regulated mitochondrial biogenesis, glycogen synthesis, and inhibited inflammation via activating antioxidant responses.
Showed a remarkable increase in body weight starting at week 7.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
