Description

Tamibarotene is an orally active retinoic acid receptor α (RARα) agonist, showing high selectivity over RARγ.

IC50 & Target

RARα/β[1]

In Vitro

Tamibarotene (20, 40 μM) down-regulates expression of cell cycle gene in T-cell lymphoma cells. Tamibarotene (5 μM) increases RARE activity in RARA-overexpressing cells to a much greater degree than in RARAlow cells. Moreover, RARAwt overexpression augments the degree of CDK2, CDK4, and CDK6 inhibition caused by Tamibarotene treatment[1].
Tamibarotene directly reverses the profibrotic phenotype of transforming growth factor-β1-treated dermal fibroblasts, suppresses ICAM-1 expression in endothelial cells, and promots M1 macrophage differentiation in vitro[2].
Tamibarotene (4 μM) up-regulates apelin mRNA and protein levels dose-dependently in VSMCs. Upon Tamibarotene stimulation, the RARα (retinoic acid receptor α) is recruited to the apelin promoter by interacting with KLF5 and Sp1 prebound to the TCE site of the apelin promoter to form a transcriptional activation complex, subsequently leading to the up-regulation of apelin expression in VSMCs. KLF5 and Sp1 co-operatively mediate Tamibarotene-induced apelin expression through their direct binding to the TCE on the apelin promoter[4].

In Vivo

Tamibarotene (1 mg/kg/day) significantly attenuates dermal and hypodermal fibrosis in bleomycin (BLM)-treated mice and tight skin 1 mice, respectively. Consistently, Tamibarotene significantly suppresses the expression of various molecules related to tissue fibrosis, including transforming growth factor-β1, connective tissue growth factor, IL-4, IL-10, IL-13, IL-17A, tumor necrosis factor-α, IFN-γ, and monocyte chemotactic protein 1 in the lesional skin of BLM-treated mice. Furthermore, Tamibarotene decreases the proportion of effector T cells, while increasing that of naive T cells among CD4+ T cells in the draining lymph nodes of BLM-treated mice[2].
Tamibarotene (2.5 mg/kg, p.o.) does not result in any significant alteration of the AST, ALT, or ALP serum levels in periodontitis-challenged mice compared with that in untreated mice. Tamibarotene ameliorates alveolar bone resorption, significantly reduces the number of P. gingivalis-induced osteoclasts in mice. Tamibarotene measurably increases the percentage of CD4+ Foxp3+ Treg cells as compared to those in EPD mice. Tamibarotene is also effective in reducing the expression of CD4+ROR-γt+ (Th17) cells in P. gingivalis-infected gingival tissues and CLNs[3].
Tamibarotene (1 mg/kg, p.o.) increases apelin expression in balloon-injured arteries of rats, consistent with the results from the cultured VSMCs[4]. In aged SAMP8 mice, hippocampal ADAM10 levels improve after Tamibarotene (1 mg/kg/day) administration. Hes5 and Ki67 are restored and spatial working memory also improves after Tamibarotene administration[5].

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    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.11 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.11 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.

Cell Assay
[1]

The CellTiter Aqueous Non-Radioactive Cell Proliferation Assay Kit is used to assess cell growth. Briefly, 10,000 cells per well are seeded in a 96-well plate and cultured in RPMI containing 2% charcoal-stripped FBS and indicated retinoid concentrations for 72 hours. At the end of the treatment period, the MTS reagent is added, cells are incubated an additional 2-4 hours, and absorbance is measured at 490 nanometers.

Animal Administration
[3]

For the infection, mice are given sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim in an oral suspension at 10 mL of deionized water ad libitum for 10 days to reduce the native flora and to support colonization of P. gingivalis W83. Four days after the antibiotic therapy finishes, periodontal infection is established through oral inoculation using 1010 colony-forming units of P. gingivalis suspended in 100 μL 4% carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) for 7 days. The mice are euthanized 4 weeks after the first oral inoculation. Tamibarotene (2.5 mg/kg) is suspended in a 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose solution. The drug is orally gavaged into the esophagus daily in a volume of 0.1 mL/10 g body weight. Tamibarotene is administered 1 h before the induction of periodontitis and then given daily per the protocol until day 28. Control mice with periodontal disease receive the same volume of 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose solution. The body weight of each mouse is measured every 3 days.

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.
