    Representative image of H&E-stained liver sections, scale bar: 200 μm. I/R-induced centrilobular necrosis was indicated by the dotted line. The results indicated a significant decrease in hepatic necrotic areas in Tangeretin (TAN, 10-40 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) treated mice compared to the control group receiving nothing.

    Representative pictures of liver stained with Ly-6 G (neutrophils) and F4/80 (macrophages), scale bar, 100 μm. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed significant decrease in hepatic inflammation in Tangeretin (TAN, 10-40 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose)-treated mice, and the infiltration of Ly6G+ neutrophils and F4/80+ macrophages was significantly decreased in TAN-treated mice livers compared to untreated mice.

    Hepatocytes were treated with or without the treatment of Tangeretin (TAN) (25 μM) in the presence or absence of OGD/R-treatment for 6 h. At the end of experiment, Mitotracker (Green) and Lysotracker (Red) were co-stained, scale bars: 20 μm. The results showed that TAN treatment led to an enhanced colocalization of the mitochondrial probe Mitotracker with the lysosomal probe Lysotracker.

    In Vitro

    Tangeretin enhanced the radiosensitivity of GC cells as demonstrated by MTT and colony formation assays. Tangeretin also attenuated radiation-induced EMT, invasion and migration in GC cells, accompanied by a decrease in Notch-1, Jagged1/2, Hey-1 and Hes-1 expressions. Tangeretin triggered the upregulation of miR-410, a tumor-suppressive microRNA. Furthermore, re-expression of miR-410 prevented radiation-induced EMT and cell invasion[1].

    In Vivo

    In this study, we investigated the in vivo anti-RSV activity of tangeretin in 3-week-old male BALB/c mice. A plaque reduction assay and fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (FQ-PCR) showed that tangeretin inhibited RSV replication in the lung of mice[2].

    Cell Assay

    The effect of tangeretin on RAW264.7 cells was determined using a MTT assay as previously reported.(13) Briefly, RAW264.7 cells (1 × 104 cells/well) were seeded in a 96-well plate for 24 h and treated with different concentrations of tangeretin (6.3–50.0 μM) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (vehicle control, 0.01 and 0.1%) for 10 or 48 h. The absorbance was measured at 570 nm using an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) reader (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA), and cell viability (%) was calculated as follows: [(absorbance of the test group – absorbance of the blank control)/(absorbance of the control group – absorbance of the blank control)] × 100.

    Animal Administration

    Animal administration [2] The mice were maintained in an air-conditioned, pathogen-free room (temperature of 24 ± 2 °C, with a 12 h light/dark cycle from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm) with free access to food and water. Mice were randomly divided into five groups (n = 10) as follows: normal (control), RSV-challenged, and three treatment groups administered 25, 50, or 100 mg/kg/day tangeretin dissolved in saline. The control and RSV-challenged groups received equal volumes of saline. During the experiment, mice in the treatment groups were intragastrically administrated tangeretin for 3 days consecutively before RSV stimulation. Mice were lightly anesthetized with diethyl ether and intranasally challenged with RSV Long strain [6.7 × 106 plaque-forming units (PFU)] on day 4 after tangeretin treatment, while the control group was sham-infected with an equal volume of HEp-2 cell lysate, which was centrifuged under the same conditions as the viral suspensions. The mice were weighed during the experiment and sacrificed on day 5 post-infection after anesthetizing them with chloral hydrate (Figure 1B). The lung tissues were removed and weighed, and the lung index was calculated using the following formula: lung index = lung weight/body weight.

    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.
