THP (Tetrastigma hemsleyanum polysaccharides, THP) or 4-CMTB (10 mg/kg, i.p., 5 days) improved the Disease Activity Index induced by DSS. However, GLPG0974 (1 mg/kg, i.g., 5 days) reversed the Disease Activity Index increase induced by Tetrastigma hemsleyanum polysaccharides in the IBD mouse model.

THP(Tetrastigma hemsleyanum polysaccharides, THP) or 4-CMTB (10 mg/kg, i.p., 5 days) reduced the expression of these pro-inflammatory mediators (IL-6, IL-1β, TNFα, and MCP-1) in the colon. Conversely, mice administered THP + GLPG0974 (1 mg/kg, i.g., 5 days) displayed an upregulation of colonic cytokine mRNA.

THP (Tetrastigma hemsleyanum polysaccharides, THP)or 4-CMTB (10 mg/kg, i.p., 5 days) reduced the abnormal spleen index induced by DSS and improved the pathological changes in the spleens of mice following DSS treatment. Conversely, in the THP + GLPG0974 group, the abnormal spleen index and spleen inflammation persisted, indicating that GLPG0974 reversed the therapeutic effect of THP.

Immunohistochemical staining images of Ki67 showed that THP (Tetrastigma hemsleyanum polysaccharides, THP) or 4-CMTB (10 mg/kg, i.p., 5 days) regulated the growth and apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cells induced by DSS in mice. However, mice in the THP + GLPG0974 group exhibited persistent damage to intestinal epithelial cells.

THP (Tetrastigma hemsleyanum polysaccharides, THP) or 4-CMTB alleviated the aberrant proliferation of CD3+ cells induced by DSS in mice. However, mice in the THP + GLPG0974 group still exhibited elevated levels of CD3+ cells.

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: 5 mg/mL (10.31 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic
This protocol yields a suspended solution of 5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.
