    P2Y12 Receptor

     

    In Vivo

    Clopidogrel, administered during the last three months, significantly decreases blood glucose, collagen and fibronectin expression compared to vehicle-treated diabetic mice. Clopidogrel markedly ameliorates hyperglycemia-induced renal fibrosis[1]. The combination therapy of clopidogrel and aspirin (dual-antiplatelet therapy) has been shown to be significantly beneficial compared to aspirin monotherapy and has also shown to decrease sub-acute stent thrombosis as well as recurrent ischemic events following ACS[2].

    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 (7.77 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 (7.77 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.

     If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.
    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.

    Animal Administration
    [1]

    Mice[1]
    13-week-old C57BL/6J male mice are used throughout the study. After 1 week of acclimation, 15 mice are injected I.P. with streptozotocin (STZ) at a dosage of 55 mg/kg body weight daily for five consecutive days. Additional 15 mice as controls (Ctrl) are injected with a vehicle solution (0.1 mol/L citrate acid buffer, pH 4.3-4.5). Seven days after the last STZ administration, hyperglycemic mice (3-hour fasting blood glucose ≥250 mg/dL) are considered T1D (DM). This time point is defined as a baseline. Three months after diabetes induction, five diabetic and five control mice are sacrificed and blood and kidneys harvested. The remaining animals are divided in four groups: Normal control with vehicle (Ctrl), Normal control with Clopidogrel (Ctrl+ Clo), T1D (DM) with vehicle, and DM with Clopidogrel treatment (DM+Clo) and are treated with 20 mg/kg b.w./day Clopidogrel or with vehicle administered in their drinking water for three additional months. At the end of experiment, mice are intraperitoneally anesthetized with Avertin (tribromoethanol, 350 mg/kg) and sacrificed to collect blood and kidneys for mRNA, protein, and histological analyses[1].

    • 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.
