    AGK2 purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Theranostics. 2021 Feb 25;11(9):4381-4402.  [Abstract]

    AGK2 (1 mg/kg/day) were injected intraperitoneally. The liver tissues were lysed and then immunoprecipitated by anti-Fndc5 antibody followed by immunoblotting with anti-Acetylated-lysine (anti-Ac) or anti-Ubiquitin to monitor the acetylation or ubiquitination of endogenous Fndc5 in mice treated with NR or NR plus AGK2. AGK2 treatment significantly abolished the decreased acetylation and ubiquitination of Fndc5 by NR.

    In Vitro

    AGK2 significantly inhibits cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. AGK2 also significantly inhibits cell growth in a dose-dependent manner without inducing cytotoxicity at low doses. Twelve days after AGK2 (5 μM) treatment, cells show a significantly reducing colony forming ability in soft agar to 46% of the control cells. Western blot analysis shows that the levels of CDK4 or CDK6 and cyclin D1 are decreased after AGK2 treatment in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, AGK2 inhibits the expression of p53 protein[2]. Treatment of microglial BV2 cells with 10 μM AGK2 leads to a significant increase in PAR signals. Treatment of microglial BV2 cells with 10 μM AGK2 also leads to a significant decrease in the intracellular ATP and significant increases in both late-stage apoptosis and necrosis of the cells[3].

    In Vivo

    AGK2 significantly reduces mortality and decreases levels of cytokines in blood (TNF-α: 298.3±24.6 vs 26.8±2.8 pg/mL, p=0.0034; IL-6: 633.4±82.8 vs 232.6±133.0 pg/mL, p=0.0344) and peritoneal fluid (IL-6: 704.8±67.7 vs 391.4±98.5 pg/mL, p=0.033) compare to vehicle control. AGK2 also suppresses the TNF-α and IL-6 production in the culturing splenocytes (TNF-α: 68.1±6.4 vs 23.9±2.8 pg/mL, p=0.0009; IL-6: 73.1±4.2 vs 49.6±3.0 pg/mL; p=0.0051)[4].

    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: ≥ 0.5 mg/mL (1.15 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (5.0 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: ≥ 0.5 mg/mL (1.15 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (5.0 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
    [2]

    Cells are exposed to different concentrations of AGK2 in 1 mL of 0.3% basal medium agar containing 10% FBS. The cultures are maintained at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 10-15 days, and the cell colonies are scored using an inverted microscope[2].

    MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    Animal Administration
    [4]

    Mice are intraperitoneally given either AGK2 (82 mg/kg) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or DMSO alone, and 2 h later subjects to CLP. Survival is monitored for 240 hours. AGK2-treating mice are grouped into (i) DMSO vehicle, and (ii) AGK2, with sham mice (operating but without any treatment) serving as controls. Peritoneal fluid and peripheral blood are examined at 24 and 48 hours for cytokine production[4].

    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.
