Description

Taurocholic acid (N-Choloyltaurine) has marked bioactive effects such as an inhibitory potential against hepatic artery ligation induced biliary damage by upregulation of VEGF-A expression. Taurocholic acid has immunoregulation effect[1].

In Vitro

Taurocholic acid (100 μM, 24 h) decreases the proportion of CD3+CD8+ T and NK cells in isolated PBMCs from HBeAg-positive CHB patients[2].
Taurocholic acid (100 μM, 24 h) decreases IFN-α stimulated cytokine and cytotoxic granule levels (IFN-γ, TNF-α, granzyme B) in CD3+CD8+ T and NK cells[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Taurocholic acid (oral gavage, 100 mg/kg, 2 weeks) promotes HBV replication by reducing the percentage of NK and CD3+CD8+ T cells in C57BL/6 mice with tail vein injection with rAAV8-1.3HBV[2].
Taurocholic acid (1% in diet, 1 week) prevents hepatic artery ligation (HAL)-induced cholangiocyte damage in rats by upregulation of VEGF-A expression[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: C57BL/6 mice[2]
Dosage: 100-mg/kg
Administration: oral gavage, for 2 weeks after tail vein injection with rAAV8-1.3HBV for 6 weeks
Result: Reduced the percentage of NK and CD3+CD8+ T cells.
Increases serum HBsAg, HBeAg, and HBV DNA levels.

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 (4.85 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 (4.85 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.

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.
