Description

Treprostinil (UT-15) is a potent DP1 and EP2 agonist with EC50 values of 0.6±0.1 and 6.2±1.2 nM, respectively.

IC50 & Target[1]

IP Receptor

1.9 nM (EC50)

TP Receptor

919 nM (EC50)

IP Receptor

32.1 nM (Ki)

FP Receptor

4680 nM (Ki)

In Vitro

Treprostinil has high affinity for the DP1, EP2 and IP receptors (Ki=4.4, 3.6 and 32 nM, respectively), low affinity for EP1 and EP4 receptors and even lower affinity for EP3, FP and TP receptors. Activation of IP, DP1 and EP2 receptors, as with treprostinil, can all result in vasodilatation of human pulmonary arteries[1].Treprostinil inhibits viability of cultured endothelial colony forming cells. Endothelial colony forming cells proliferation is stimulated by conditioned media from Treprostinil pretreated mesenchymal stem cells[5].

In Vivo

Inhaled treprostinil sodium, a prostacyclin analog, is the most recent agent to receive FDA approval for the treatment of a fatal orphan disease: pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)[2]. Treprostinil preserves the sinusoidal endothelial cell lining and reduces platelet deposition early post-transplantation compared to placebo. Hepatic tissue blood flow is significantly compromised in the placebo group, whereas treprostinil maintains blood flow similar to normal levels[3].Treprostinil treatment significantly increases the vessel-forming ability of endothelial colony forming cells combined with mesenchymal stem cells in Matrigel implanted in nude mice. Silencing VEGF-A gene in mesenchymal stem cells also blocks the pro-angiogenic effect of Treprostinil[4]. Treprostinil is most efficacious in raising intracellular cAMP levels in murine and human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells[5]. Treatment with Treprostinil significantly reduces the recruitment of cells compared to normoxic mice. Treprostinil also reduces right ventricular systolic pressure and slightly reduces the vascular remodelling but fails to reverse the right ventricular hypertrophy[6].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (5.33 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (5.33 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Cell Assay
[5]

Human or murine hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells are incubated in the presence of vehicle or the combination of 10 μM Treprostinil and 30 μM forskolin at 37°C for 1 hour and 24 hours. After washing with phosphate-buffered saline at 4°C, cells are stained for externalized phosphatidylserine with the apoptosis kit[5].

Animal Administration
[3][6]

Rats[3]

Male Lewis rats weighing 200-300 g are used in the study. Donor animals receive treprostinil or placebo 24 h before hepatectomy and the corresponding recipient animal receive the similar treatment until the time of sacrifice. The surgeon is blinded to treatment. Recipients are sacrificed at 1, 3, 6, 24 and 48 h post-transplantation to examine the early events after IRI. Treprostinil (100 ng/kg/min) or placebo is administered subcutaneously via an Alzet implantable osmotic pump. This dose is selected to achieve a steady-state plasma concentration in the range of 5-20 ng/mL[3].

Mice[6]

Bone marrow transplanted (BMT) mice are divided into five different groups with each group consisting of 6 to 10 mice. One group of mice is exposed to hypoxia (10% inspired oxygen fraction) in a normobaric chamber whereas the second group (control BMT) of animals are placed in a normoxic chamber with a normal oxygen environment (21% inspired O2 fraction) for 28 days. Sham group mice receive saline treatment whereas two other groups of mice receive Treprostinil infusions of different dose levels (14 ng/kg and 70 ng/kg per minitue) and are exposed to hypoxia for 4 weeks. For comparison, human infusion rates in PAH therapy vary from 10 to 60 ng/kg per min[6].

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.
