Elaidic acid is an orally active trans fatty acid. Elaidic acid enhances the stemness of colorectal cancer cells by activating the Wnt/ERK1/2 pathway, thereby promoting cell proliferation, invasion and metastasis, and inhibiting apoptosis. Elaidic acid also inhibits the growth of Lactobacillus and alters the cell surface hydrophobicity of Lactobacillus. Elaidic acid reduces basal 2-deoxyglucose uptake in muscle cells and adipocytes. Elaidic acid can be used in research on colorectal cancer, insulin and other related areas.

Description

Elaidic acid is an orally active trans fatty acid. Elaidic acid enhances the stemness of colorectal cancer cells by activating the Wnt/ERK1/2 pathway, thereby promoting cell proliferation, invasion and metastasis, and inhibiting apoptosis. Elaidic acid also inhibits the growth of Lactobacillus and alters the cell surface hydrophobicity of Lactobacillus. Elaidic acid reduces basal 2-deoxyglucose uptake in muscle cells and adipocytes. Elaidic acid can be used in research on colorectal cancer, insulin and other related areas[1][2][3].

IC50 & Target[3]

IL-15

 

In Vitro

Elaidic acid (0-35 μM; 24-48 h) dose-dependently promotes the growth, reduces the apoptosis and enhances the invasive ability of CT26 and HT29 colorectal cancer cells[1].
Elaidic acid (35 μM; 1 week) enhances the sphere-forming capacity of CT26 colorectal cancer cells under concurrent treatment, pre-treatment, and hypoxic conditions[1].
Elaidic acid upregulates the expression of stem cell markers (nucleostemin, CD133, Oct4) and dedifferentiation marker (c-Myc), while downregulates the expression of differentiation markers (MUC1, MUC2, CDX2) in CT26 colorectal cancer spheres[1].
Elaidic acid (0-500 mg/L; 0-24 h) inhibits the growth of L. rhamnosus, L. paracasei, L. zeae, <L. acidophilus and L. plantarum, but exerts no effect on the growth of L. casei[2].
Elaidic acid (200 mg/L; 0-24 h) reduces the cell surface hydrophobicity of L. paracasei and L. casei[2].
Elaidic acid (20-500 μM; 24 h) dose-dependently upregulates the mRNA level of TNF-α, decreases the mRNA level of IL-15, and does not enhance insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in differentiated C2C12 myotubes[3].

In Vivo

Elaidic acid (10 mg/mouse; i.p.) promotes the growth and metastasis of CRC tumors in BALB/c mice and upregulates the expression of tumor differentiation markers[1].
Elaidic acid (0-0.2 mg/kg; i.g.; every 7 days; 4 weeks) increases the number of liver CRC metastatic foci and CD133-positive cells in BALB/c mice[1].

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    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 1.35 mg/mL (4.78 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.35 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (13.5 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, 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.
