Handling Instructions Technical Support

Caerulomycin A is an orally active immunomodulator and antimicrobial agent. Caerulomycin A targets Smad3, STAT1 and GATA-3. Caerulomycin A downregulates GATA-3 expression, inhibits Th2 cell differentiation and Th2 cytokine production, reduces IgE levels, and alleviates pulmonary inflammatory responses and eosinophil infiltration. Caerulomycin A ameliorates collagen-induced arthritis symptoms, reduces joint inflammation and synovitis, and decreases the levels of proinflammatory cytokines in joints. Caerulomycin A inhibits the growth of some filamentous fungi, yeasts and specific bacteria. Caerulomycin A can be used in research related to arthritis and asthma.

In Vitro

Caerulomycin A (0-0.31 μM; 5 days, 72 h) dose-dependently induces CD4+Foxp3+ Treg generation in non-polarizing conditions, synergistically enhances TGF-β-mediated Treg generation, suppresses Th1 and Th17 cell differentiation and cytokine secretion, reduces CD44 expression, and increases mitochondrial membrane potential in mouse naïve CD4+ T cells[1].
Caerulomycin A (0.04-0.15 μM; 48 h, 4 days) dose-dependently suppresses CD4+ effector T cell activation and alloreactive T cell proliferation in mouse cell cultures via generated Tregs (with or without TGF-β)[1].
Caerulomycin A (0.04-0.31 μM; 24 h pre-incubation) dose-dependently suppresses IFN-γ/IL-6-mediated STAT1 signaling by enhancing SOCS1 expression, reduces STAT1 target gene and protein expression, and enhances TGF-β-mediated Smad3 signaling in mouse CD4+ T cells[1].
Caerulomycin A (0.04-0.15 μM; 5 days) dose-dependently rescues mouse CD4+Foxp3+ Treg generation from IFN-γ-mediated suppression, and this Treg generation is strictly dependent on Smad3 activity[1].
Caerulomycin A (0.08-0.31 μM; 6 days) inhibits IL-4 expression in terminally differentiated mouse Th2 CD4+ T cells, with a concentration-dependent reduction in IL-4+ cell percentage over 6 days[2].
Caerulomycin A (0.08-0.31 μM; 6 days) concentration-dependently inhibits the differentiation of mouse naïve CD4+ T cells to Th2 cells, reducing both IL-4 expression (with significant inhibition at 0.31 μM) and GATA-3 expression in IL-4+ CD4+ T cells after 6 days of culture[2].
Caerulomycin A (5-100 μg/mL; up to 96 h) inhibits growth of diverse yeasts, filamentous fungi, uredospores, and bacteria in an agar dilution assay, with complete inhibition ranging from 5 μg/mL (for Candida albicans, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Isaria cretacea, Rhizopus nigricans at 24 h) to 100 μg/mL (for Escherichia coli and Puccinia graminis var. tritici race 15B uredospore germination at all time points) when incubated at 28°C for up to 96 hours[3].
Caerulomycin A (50 μg/mL; 7-day fermentation) inhibits growth of Candida albicans in a disc diffusion assay, produced via a 7-day fermentation of Streptomyces caeruleus PRL 1687 in starch-Czapelt medium[3].

In Vivo

Caerulomycin A (1-10 mg/kg; daily; 50 days) dose-dependently ameliorates collagen-induced arthritis in male DBA/1 mice by expanding CD4+Foxp3+ Tregs and suppressing proinflammatory cytokines, with the 10 mg/kg daily dose yielding the greatest reduction in disease severity, inflammation, and proinflammatory mediators[1].
Caerulomycin A (1-10 mg/kg; p.o.; daily; 12 days) dose-dependently attenuates asthma symptoms in OVA-induced BALB/c mice, with the 10 mg/kg oral daily dose achieving significant suppression of lung inflammation, eosinophil infiltration, Th2 cytokine production, and IgE levels[2].

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

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (10.91 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

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.
