9''-Methyl lithospermic acid
9''-Methyl lithospermic acid is a serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) activator. 9''-Methyl lithospermic acid increases the levels of SPT1 and SPT2 in human keratinocytes. 9''-Methyl lithospermic acid maintains epidermal permeability barrier function by promoting SPT expression.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
9''-Methyl lithospermic acid (Compound 2) (100 μg/mL) significantly increases SPT1 mRNA (to 139%) and SPT2 mRNA (to 139%) expression in normal human keratinocyte HaCaT cells[1].
9''-Methyl lithospermic acid (10-100 μg/mL; 9 h) dose-dependently increases SPT protein expression in normal human keratinocyte HaCaT cells[1].

Protocols

RNA extraction experimental
By lysing cells, releasing RNA, and removing impurities such as proteins and DNA, high-purity RNA products are finally obtained. The commonly used traditional method is the guanidine isothiocyanate/phenol/chloroform method (Trizol), which is suitable for a variety of animal materials including animal tissues, microorganisms, cultured cells, etc., and most plant materials.

Transepithelial/transendothelial electrical resistance assay
TEER measures electrical resistance across epithelial or endothelial monolayers cultured on permeable supports, and the readout reflects ionic conductance through the cell barrier, especially the paracellular pathway regulated by junctional integrity. TEER can be measured without destroying the monolayer and is commonly used before or during transport, permeability, barrier-disruption, and barrier-maturation experiments. TEER values are influenced by biological maturation and technical conditions; reported factors include temperature, medium formulation, passage number, electrode geometry, membrane properties, and junctional length during early monolayer maturation. Therefore, TEER should be interpreted with blank-insert subtraction, area normalization, repeated readings, and, when possible, orthogonal barrier readouts such as FITC-dextran flux or tight-junction staining.

Protocol for Sucrose Preference Test (SPT)
The Sucrose Preference Test is a rodent two-bottle choice assay used to estimate reward-related behavior by measuring preference for a sweet sucrose solution over water. Reduced sucrose preference is commonly interpreted as an anhedonia-like phenotype in stress-based depression models, but it can also be affected by thirst, hunger, body weight, learning, motivation, and general fluid intake.
