Human Endogenous Metabolite

 

In Vitro

MicMicroglial cell cultures under hyperoxia are supplemented or not with an effective dose of Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) (100 μM). Exposure of microglial cells to hyperoxia-induced oxidative stress for 24 h reveals a robust increase in TSP-1 mRNA expression and protein compare to normoxia (21% O2). Tetrahydrobiopterin supplementation significantly prevents hyperoxia-induced microglial activation by diminishing Iba-1 and TSP-1 expression? and prevents microvascular injury in choroidal explants[1].

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

In Vivo

To assess the levels of Tetrahydrobiopterin in the retina, three to five pools of retinas are collected from WT and hph-1mice at postnatal age 7, 14, and 22 and evaluated by LC-MS/MS. LC-MS/MS analysis confirm a significant decrease by approximately 90% in the concentration levels of Tetrahydrobiopterin in retinal tissue from hph-1 mice (0.0009±0.0006; p<0.0001, 0.01±0.001; p<0.0001 and 2.45±0.40; p<0.005) compare to the WT group (0.014±0.001, 0.092±0.01, and 23.13±6.44) at P7, P14, and P22, respectively[1].

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 (10.36 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 (10.36 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.

Microglia cell line (SIM-A9) is used and cultured. Briefly, microglial cells (800, 000 cells per well) are cultured in 6-well plates with DMEM/F12 (1:1) supplementing with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 5% of horse serum (HS), and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. After 24 h, the cells are starved with DMEM/F12 (1:1) free of FBS and HS for 6 h. Then, microglial cells cultures in presence or absence of 100 μM of Tetrahydrobiopterin are exposed to hyperoxia (75% oxygen and 25% nitrogen) in a modular incubator chamber and maintained in a humidified CO2 incubator at 37 °C for 24 h. Microglial cells in matching controls are incubated at 37 °C in an incubator with 95% air and 5% CO2 and collected at the same time point. Cell lysates are quickly processed for RNA. The conditioning media is stored at -80 and later used in choroidal explant assay[1].

Administraciòn de animales
[1]

Mice pups are exposed with their mothers in a 75% oxygen environment from postnatal day 7 to P9 using oxycycler to induce retinal vaso-obliteration (VO). Animals are anesthetized and injected intravitreally at P7 with 100 μM of Tetrahydrobiopterin or vehicle (sterile PBS 1×) using a syringe equipped with 50-gauge glass capillary. At P9, mice pups are sacrificed and retinas are dissected and stained overnight at 4 °C with fluorescein-labeled Griffonia Simplicifolia Lectin 1 (GSL 1), isolectin B4 (1:100) with 1 mM CaCl2 in PBS. Quantification of VO is assessed using the computer software[1].

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.
