PGE2 shows inhibition of IL 2 production in the mixture of irradiated and nonirradiated T lymphocytes. PGE2 (0.1-10 μM) dose-dependently inhibits the production of IL 2. PGE2 acts during the inductive phase of activation of suppressor cells. Preincubation of T lymphocytes with PGE2 induces cells that suppress IL 2 production and PHA proliferation[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Please do not refer to only one article to determine the experimental conditions. It is recommended to determine the optimal experimental conditions (animal strain, age, dosage, frequency and cycle, detection time and indicators, etc.) through preliminary experiments before the formal experiment.
Prostaglandin E2 can be used in animal modeling to construct a rat pain model.
PGE2 (0.3 μg/k, i.p.) significantly reduces the number of peritoneab macrophages undergoing phagocytosis of the methacrybate microbeads in rats[2]. PGE2 (0.1 mg/min, i.a.) increases renal blood flow. PGE2 produces a biphasic change in renal vascular resistance, vasodilatation starts at 0.01 mg/min and is maximal at about 3 mg/min, while at the highest dose used (20 mg/min) PGE2 induces renal vasoconstriction[3].

- 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 (14.19 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (14.19 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

The co-solvents required include: DMSO, . All of co-solvents are available by MedChemExpress (MCE). , Tween 80. All of co-solvents are available by MedChemExpress (MCE).
Working solution concentration: 0.22 mg/mL
Method for preparing stock solution: mg drug dissolved in μL DMSO. Stock solution concentration: mg/mL.
1. Take μL DMSO stock solution;
2. Add μL .
μL , mix evenly;
3. Then add μL Tween 80, mix evenly;
4. Then add μL
Please ensure that the stock solution in the first step is dissolved to a clear state, and add co-solvents in sequence. You can use ultrasonic heating (ultrasonic cleaner, recommended frequency 20-40 kHz), vortexing, etc. to assist dissolution.
Protocol
Lymphocytes in CM (1×106 cells/mL) are ditributed in microculture plates (100 μL) in triplicate in the presence of PGE-treated T cells or medium-treated T cells and stimulated with PHA-P at various mitogenic doses. After 72 hr, cultures are pulsed with 1 μCi [3H]thymidine per well (specific activity 5 Ci/mM) for 16 to 18 hr, collected with amicroprecipltator, dried, and counted in a liquid scintillation counter.
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Male Sprague Dawley rats (200-250 g) are used throughout the study. For 3 consecutive days rats in the experimental groups receive a daily intraperitoneal injection of either PGE2 (0.3 μg/kg body weight (BW)), the prostaglandin inhibitor mecbofenamate (10 mg/kg BW) or the prostaglandin precursor arachidonic acid (0.3 μg/ kg BW). To determine whether or not 0.3 μg/kg BW of a fatty acid produces nonspecific effects, the biologically inactive fatty acid 11, 14, 17-eicosatrienoic acid is also administered to a group of rats. Rats in the control group receive an equivalent volume (2.0 mL/kg BW) of the vehicle. On the third day, 3 mL of a suspension containing 1.2×106 fluorescent methacrylate microbeads/mL of PBS are injected intraperitoneally (ip) into each rat. Six hours later all animals are given ip a regular dose of their respective treatment. Peritoneal exudate cells are harvested 19-22 hr later.
