Description

CRX 527 is a TLR4 agonist. CRX 527 activates the MyD88-dependent, TRIF-dependent, and TRAF6/NF-κB signaling pathways downstream of TLR4, mimics lipid A, and regulates antigen processing and presentation by dendritic cells. CRX 527 stimulates innate immune responses and enhances vaccine efficacy. CRX 527 maintains the structural integrity of hematopoietic tissues, spleen and intestine, alleviates radiation-induced damage, preserves intestinal homeostasis, and inhibits apoptosis, inflammatory responses, oxidative stress and DNA damage. CRX 527 can be used in the research of acute radiation syndrome, melanoma, HPV-related tumors and intracerebral hemorrhage[1][2][3][4].

In Vitro

CRX 527 (1-100 ng/mL; 24 h) upregulates IL-2R expression on bovine peripheral blood γδ T cells in vitro, with the strongest response observed at 100 ng/mL[1].
CRX 527 (12 h) activates murine RAW264.7 and human THP-1 macrophages, and protects murine MODE-K and human HIEC intestinal epithelial cells against ionizing radiation-induced damage by reducing apoptosis, inflammatory responses and ROS production[2].
CRX 527 (2-12 h) activates the TLR4-MyD88 and TLR4-TRIF signaling pathways in murine RAW264.7 macrophages[2].
CRX 527 (0.04-500 nM; 24 h) retains TLR4 activation activity after conjugation with OVA CTL or OVA helper peptides, and induces IL-12p40 production in D1 dendritic cells, with potency comparable to that of free CRX-527[3].
Conjugation of CRX 527 (427-3500 nM; overnight) with OVA CTL peptide enhances MHC class I antigen presentation of the SIINFEKL epitope by D1 dendritic cells, and the intensity of B3Z reporter T cell activation induced by this conjugate is higher than that induced by free peptide or CRX-527-peptide mixture[3].
When conjugated with OVA helper peptides, CRX 527 (78.1-5000 nM; overnight) enhances the MHC class II antigen presentation of OVA helper T cell epitopes by D1 dendritic cells, and the intensity of OTIIZ reporter gene T cell activation it induces is higher than that induced by free peptides or CRX-527-peptide mixtures[3].
When conjugated to the OVA CTL peptide, CRX 527 (7.8-500 nM; 50 h) enhances the activation of naive OT-I CD8+ T cells co-cultured with peptide-pulsed D1 dendritic cells, as well as the production of multifunctional cytokines (IFNγ and TNFα), and exhibits greater potency than free peptide or the CRX-527-peptide mixture[3].
When conjugated with OVA helper peptide, CRX 527 (31-2000 nM; 50 h) enhances the activation of naive OT-II CD4+ T cells co-cultured with peptide-pulsed D1 dendritic cells, as well as the production of multifunctional cytokines (IFNγ and TNFα), and exhibits greater potency than free peptide or CRX-527-peptide mixture[3].
When conjugated with the EnvH peptide, CRX 527 (78.1-5000 nM; 50 h) enhances MHC class II antigen presentation of the EnvH epitope by D1 dendritic cells. Compared with free peptide or CRX-527-peptide mixture, it induces stronger activation of 3A12 reporter T cells and promotes TNFα production by naive MolH CD4+ T cells[3].

ELISA Assay[3]

Cell Line: mouse spleen-derived immature D1 DC cell line
Concentration: 0.04, 0.2, 1, 5, 20, 500 nM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Induced IL-12p40 production in D1 DCs in a concentration-dependent manner, with levels comparable to free CRX-527.
Induced ~7 ng/mL IL-12p40 at 500 nM when conjugated to OVA CTL peptide.
Induced ~7 ng/mL IL-12p40 at 500 nM when conjugated to OVA Help peptide.
Induced ~8 ng/mL IL-12p40 at 500 nM in free form.
In Vivo

CRX 527 (1 μg; i.t.; single dose) induces a more robust lung neutrophil recruitment than lipo-CRX, LPS, or MPL in healthy C57BL/6 mice, with no effect on blood neutrophil or macrophage percentages[1].
CRX-527 (0.5 mg/kg; i.p.; twice) confers 100% survival in C57BL/6 mice subjected to 7.5 Gy total body irradiation, while effectively alleviating ionizing radiation-induced hematopoietic system damage[2].
CRX-527 (0.5 mg/kg; i.p.; twice) activates hematopoietic mobilization and immune-favorable differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells in C57BL/6 mice, increasing LSK and GMP populations while reducing immunosuppressive MDSCs[2].
CRX-527 (0.5 mg/kg; i.p.; twice) increases bone marrow macrophage proportions and preserves peripheral blood white blood cell counts in C57BL/6 mice subjected to 5Gy total body irradiation, activating macrophage-mediated immune defense[2].
CRX-527 (0.5 mg/kg; i.p.; twice) confers 80% survival in C57BL/6 mice subjected to 9 Gy local abdominal irradiation, while protecting intestinal homeostasis, stem cell regeneration, and barrier function from ionizing radiation damage[2].
CRX-527 (0.5 mg/kg; i.p.; twice) does not protect against ionizing radiation-induced hematopoietic or intestinal injury in TLR4 knockout mice, indicating its radioprotective effects are mediated via TLR4 activation[2].
Prophylactic vaccination with CRX 527 (2 nmol; i.d.; twice (day 0, day 14))-peptide conjugates, particularly the combined CTL + T-helper conjugate, induces robust tumor-specific CD8 T cell responses and confers ~90% long-term survival in mice challenged with B16OVA melanoma[3].

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.
