COA 取扱説明書 Technical Support

Homogentisic acid is an orally active, blood-brain barrier-permeable amyloidogenic compound that functions as both an amyloid component and a pigment precursor. Accumulation of homogentisic acid downregulates tight junction proteins (such as claudin-5, occludin, ZO-1) and impairs blood-brain barrier integrity. Homogentisic acid and its oxidation product benzoquinone acetic acid not only induce the aggregation and fibrosis of multiple proteins (such as Aβ1-42, α-synuclein, SAA, Transthyretin (TTR), atrial natriuretic peptide), but also trigger oxidative stress, damage to the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, and neurotoxicity, leading to ochronosis pigment deposition and synaptic dysfunction. At specific concentrations, homogentisic acid exerts no cytotoxicity or genotoxicity on human peripheral blood lymphocytes, and even counteracts the genotoxicity induced by Irinotecan (HY-16562). Homogentisic acid serves as an important tool molecule for investigating the mechanisms of diseases including ochronosis, secondary amyloidosis, Alzheimer's disease, and colorectal cancer.

体外実験

Homogentisic acid (0.165-0.33 mM; 37 °C; 2-6 d) induces time- and dose-dependent aggregation of Aβ1-42 peptide, α-Syn, and Ttr proteins. During days 2-6, homogentisic acid reduces the monomer level of Aβ1-42 and increases high molecular weight (HMW) aggregates; after days 7-14, homogentisic acid generates a unique 24 kDa product from α-Syn; and during days 1-5, homogentisic acid elevates oligomer levels[1].
Homogentisic acid (0.33 mM; 37 °C; 14 d+14 d) increases the abundance and maturity of SAA amyloid fibrils, forming thick filament bundles and slender protofibrils, and promotes further growth of pre-aggregated SAA fibrils upon re-stimulation; it also induces α-Syn protein to form protofibrillar aggregates, spherical oligomers, and curvilinear fibrils[1].
Homogentisic acid (0.165-0.66 mM; 37 °C; 7 d for α-Syn assay, 14 d for SAA assay) promotes the formation of benzoquinone acetic acid (BQA)-protein adducts in α-Syn after 7 days and in SAA after 14 days[1].
Homogentisic acid (0.01 μM) induces Aβ aggregation in HT22 neuronal cells, SY5Y neuronal cells, and primary neuron cultures without significant cytotoxicity[2].
Homogentisic acid (0.01-0.5 μM) downregulates tight junction proteins (claudin-5, occludin, ZO-1) in a dose-dependent manner, disrupts junctional structures, and directly impairs the integrity of the blood-brain barrier in primary brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs)[2].
Homogentisic acid (0.01 μM; 18 h) transcriptionally suppresses the expression of tight junction proteins (claudin-5, occludin, ZO-1) in HT22 and SY5Y neuronal cells[2].
Homogentisic acid (400 μM; pH 7.45) catalyzes the co-oxidation of ascorbic acid, producing H2O2 and synergistically increasing oxygen consumption[6].
Homogentisic acid (500 μM; 30-90 min) and Fe3+-EDTA generate hydroxyl radicals, and SOD promotes the production of such radicals, whereas catalase, thiourea and sodium formate inhibit their production. Fe3+-EDTA also depolymerizes hyaluronic acid, and hydroxyl radical scavengers and catalase inhibit this degradation process[6].
Homogentisic acid (0.046 mM; 3 w) induces intracellular ochronotic pigment deposition in primary human articular osteoblasts[8].
Homogentisic acid (0.046 mM; 2-4 w) reduces the level of free thiols in primary human articular osteoblasts, decreasing this level by 20% after 2 weeks of treatment and by 50% after 3 and 4 weeks of treatment[8].
Homogentisic acid (0.046 mM; 2-4 w) impairs the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in primary human articular osteoblasts; it increases β-catenin levels by 80% after 2 weeks, while it reduces β-catenin levels by 60% and 40% after 3 and 4 weeks, respectively, and simultaneously increases its phosphorylation levels by 100% and 50%, respectively[8].

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.
