3-Oxo deoxycholic acid
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
3-Oxo deoxycholic acid is a secondary bile acid and a metabolic intermediate of Deoxycholic acid (HY-N0593) under the action of gut microbiota. 3-Oxo deoxycholic acid enhances the intestinal barrier by upregulating tight junction proteins, and maintains bile acid homeostasis and reduces toxicity via the gut bacterial enzyme system. 3-Oxo deoxycholic acid can be used in research on colonic barrier dysfunction and colonic inflammation.

In Vitro
3-Oxo deoxycholic acid (10-500 μM; 24 h) maintained cell viability without obvious toxicity at concentrations of 10-100 μM in human colon adenocarcinoma cells Caco-2, whereas at high concentrations (>100 μM) it inhibited cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner and caused cell death[5].
3-Oxo deoxycholic acid (100 μM; 24 h) upregulates the mRNA and protein expression levels of the tight junction proteins ZO-1, Occludin, and Claudin-1 in human colon adenocarcinoma cells Caco-2[5].
3-Oxo deoxycholic acid (100 μM; pretreatment for 24 h, followed by exposure to 2.5% DSS for 6 h) increased baseline transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) and significantly inhibited DSS (HY-116282C)-induced decrease in transepithelial electrical resistance in differentiated monolayers of human colon adenocarcinoma Caco-2 cells, protecting the intestinal barrier from permeability damage[5].
3-Oxo-deoxycholic acid (50 μM; 12 h) was reduced to deoxycholic acid (DCA) in the presence of NADPH in a reaction system using recombinant 3α-HSDH (CDD59474) expressed and purified from Escherichia coli[6].
3-Oxo-deoxycholic acid (50 μM; 12 h) was reduced in a recombinant 3β-HSDH (CDD59473) enzyme reaction system expressed and purified in Escherichia coli in the presence of NADPH to generate iso-deoxycholic acid (iso-DCA) and trace amounts of DCA[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.

Research Protocol for Microbiome Analysis
Microbiome analysis characterizes microbial communities in biological or environmental samples by measuring community composition, diversity, taxonomic structure, functional potential, and associations with host or environmental phenotypes. 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing is commonly used for bacterial and archaeal taxonomic profiling, while shotgun metagenomics provides higher taxonomic resolution and direct functional information, including microbial genes, pathways, viruses, fungi, and antimicrobial-resistance genes when sequencing depth and host-DNA contamination are adequately controlled. Microbiome results are strongly affected by sample collection, storage, DNA extraction, contamination, sequencing method, reference database, and bioinformatic pipeline; therefore, standardized protocols, negative controls, mock communities, and transparent analysis workflows are required. Unresolved issues include low-biomass contamination, compositional-data bias, inconsistent species-level c

Research Protocol for Inflammation-related Diseases
The NLRP3 inflammasome is a cytosolic innate immune signaling platform that integrates priming signals and danger-signal activation to promote caspase-1 activation, maturation of IL-1β and IL-18, and gasdermin D-mediated pyroptotic cell death. The core experimental logic is to determine whether inflammatory disease phenotypes are driven by increased NLRP3 expression, ASC-containing inflammasome assembly, caspase-1 cleavage, GSDMD cleavage, and extracellular release of IL-1β/IL-18 rather than by nonspecific cell injury alone. The pathway is strongly linked to inflammation-related disease phenotypes because monosodium urate crystals activate NALP3/NLRP3 inflammasome signaling in gout-like crystal inflammation, cholesterol crystals activate NLRP3 inflammasomes in atherogenesis models, and DSS-induced intestinal inflammation has been reported to involve NLRP3 inflammasome activity. However, experimental colitis studies also show context-dependent protective effects of NLRP3 inflammasome co
