Ginsenoside Rg5
Based on 5 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Ginsenoside Rg5 is the main component of Red ginseng and IGF-1R agonist. Ginsenoside Rg5 compets for the binding site of IGF-1R and blocks the binding of IGF-1 to IGF-1R (IC50 about 90 nM). Ginsenoside Rg5 also inhibits the mRNA expression of COX-2 via suppression of the DNA binding activities of NF-κB p65.

In Vitro
Ginsenoside Rg5 plays a novel role as an IGF-1R agonist. Ginsenoside Rg5 has angiogenic activity, which is inhibited by IGF-1R knockdown. To investigate the possible interaction of Ginsenoside Rg5 with IGF-1R, a docking analysis is performed. Docking results show that Ginsenoside Rg5 binds strongly at two sites, A and B, with Kd values of 20 and 27 nM, respectively, to the cysteine-rich domain of IGF-1R. Pretreatment with Rg5 blocks the binding of radiolabeled IGF-1 to HUVECs with an IC50 value of ~90 μM, which is greater than an IC50 value of ~1.4 nM for unlabeled IGF-1[1]. The results from MTT assay show that MCF-7 cell proliferation is inhibited by Ginsenoside Rg5 treatment for 24, 48 and 72 h in a dose-dependent manner. Ginsenoside Rg5 at different concentrations (0, 25, 50 and 100 μM), induce cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase through regulation of cell cycle-related proteins in MCF-7 cells[3].

RT-PCR
Reverse transcription technology uses RNA as a template to synthesize DNA. RT-PCR is simple, specific and sensitive, and can be used to detect gene expression levels and expression differences in cells; detect RNA virus content; clone cDNA sequences of specific genes.

Protocol for Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay (EMSA)
Electrophoretic mobility shift assay detects protein-nucleic acid binding by incubating a labeled DNA or RNA probe with purified protein or cell extract, then separating free probe from slower-migrating protein-probe complexes on a native gel. For cancer cells, primary neurons, mouse tumor samples, intestinal organoids, inflammatory macrophages, or drug-treated samples, EMSA can measure transcription-factor DNA binding or RNA-binding protein activity in extracts, but it does not directly measure transcription, protein expression, or chromatin occupancy in intact cells. Specificity is judged by competition with unlabeled wild-type probe, failure of mutated or unrelated competitors to compete, and antibody supershift or disruption when the binding protein identity must be confirmed.
-
RNA extraction experimental
By lysing cells, releasing RNA, and removing impurities such as proteins and DNA, high-purity RNA products are finally obtained. The commonly used traditional method is the guanidine isothiocyanate/phenol/chloroform method (Trizol), which is suitable for a variety of animal materials including animal tissues, microorganisms, cultured cells, etc., and most plant materials.

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay
Cytotoxicity assays are usually based on the assessment of cell membrane damage, which can also be indirectly detected by measuring cell viability. Detection methods include MTT assay, CKK-8 assay, LDH assay and ATP assay, etc.

Research Protocol for Inflammation-related Diseases
The NLRP3 inflammasome is a cytosolic innate immune signaling platform that integrates priming signals and danger-signal activation to promote caspase-1 activation, maturation of IL-1β and IL-18, and gasdermin D-mediated pyroptotic cell death. The core experimental logic is to determine whether inflammatory disease phenotypes are driven by increased NLRP3 expression, ASC-containing inflammasome assembly, caspase-1 cleavage, GSDMD cleavage, and extracellular release of IL-1β/IL-18 rather than by nonspecific cell injury alone. The pathway is strongly linked to inflammation-related disease phenotypes because monosodium urate crystals activate NALP3/NLRP3 inflammasome signaling in gout-like crystal inflammation, cholesterol crystals activate NLRP3 inflammasomes in atherogenesis models, and DSS-induced intestinal inflammation has been reported to involve NLRP3 inflammasome activity. However, experimental colitis studies also show context-dependent protective effects of NLRP3 inflammasome co

Real Time qPCR (Q-PCR)
Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) quantifies an amplifiable nucleic-acid target by monitoring fluorescence during PCR cycling rather than measuring product only after amplification. The increase in fluorescence tracks accumulation of PCR product, and the quantification cycle (Cq; historically also Ct/CP) is related to the initial amount of target: samples containing more starting target generally reach the defined fluorescence threshold in fewer cycles.
