AICAR
Based on 216 publication(s) in Google Scholar
AICAR (Acadesine) is an adenosine analog and a AMPK activator. AICAR is also an autophagy, YAP and mitophagy inhibitor. AICAR regulates the glucose and lipid metabolism, and inhibits proinflammatory cytokines and iNOS production. AICAR inhibits autophagy through a mechanism independent of AMPK activity.

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation by AST blunts dysfunction of lipid metabolism and resistance in HepG2 cells. Representative bands of SREBP-1c nuclear protein and cytoplasmic proteins are visualized in the immunoblotting assay.
AICAR purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Front Pharmacol. 2018 Apr 16:9:345. [Abstract]
AMP-activated protein kinase activation by AST inhibits the expression of sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c) and SREBP-1c related genes. AST promotes AMPKa1 mRNA expression, AMPKa2 mRNA expression, and suppresses the expression of SREBP-1c, and its downstream genes FAS, ACC1, and also AMPK downstream gene SCD1.

Protocol
HepG2 cells (5×105 cells) are plated in 6-well culture plate dishes and then are incubated in the serum-free media for 12 h before transfection. One microgram of plasmid is transfected with FuGENE6 Transfection Reagent. After 5 h of transfection, the culture media are removed and then media supplemented with or without AICAR (0.1-1.0 mM) are added to each well. The stimulation media are changed every 24 h[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Mice[2]
Fourteen-week-old lean (Lepob/+ or Lepob/+) and ob/ob (Lepob/Lepob) male mice are uesd. After the 14-day experimental treatment (24 h after AICAR injection, including a 12-h fast), the plantar flexor complex muscle is cleanly (tendon-to-tendon) excised from an anesthetized mouse. The muscle is quickly weighed and then processed for histology or frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C. The anesthetized mice are killed by transection of the diaphragm and removal of the entire heart, after blood collection via needle puncture directly into the heart. AICAR or saline (control) is injected subcutaneously into the lateral distal portion of the back. AICAR is administered at 0.5 mg/g per day one time for 14 days. Saline (control) is injected in volumes identical to those used for AICAR treatment in a manner identical to that of AICAR treatment. Body weight is measured prior to death.
Rats[3]
Male 5-week-old ZDF rats are either subcutaneously injected with a single dose of AICAR (0.5 mg/g body wt) or underwent a single bout of treadmill running (60 min, speed of 25 m/min at a 5% incline). Untreated ZDF rats serve as controls (n=5 in each group). One hour after the subcutaneous AICAR injection or immediately after treadmill running, rats are killed by cervical dislocation. To avoid any effect of muscle spasm and hypoxia, red and white gastrocnemius muscles are removed within seconds and immediately freeze clamped for later determination of AMPK activity.
