Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate sodium
Based on 4 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA sulfate; Prasterone sulfate) sodium salt is a neurosteroid and the main secretion product of the adrenal gland. Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate sodium salt has both non-competitive antagonist activity of GABAA receptor and agonist activity of σ1 receptor. Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate sodium salt can partially penetrate the blood-brain barrier, inhibit GABAA receptor-mediated chloride influx, enhance NMDA receptor activity through σ1 receptors, exert anti-inflammatory, anti-glucocorticoid and antidepressant effects, and increase convulsive sensitivity. Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate sodium salt participates in neuroprotection, neurite growth regulation and catecholamine secretion regulation, and can be used in the study of depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Alzheimer's disease, etc. Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate sodium salt may also be a biomarker for cardiovascular disease mortality, and its concentration is independently and negatively correlated with mortality.

Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate sodium salt (0.1 nM-10 μM; 2-24 h) increases neuronal survival in embryonic rat cortical cell hypoxia assay, with significant effects at 10 μM[1].
Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate sodium salt (0.1-10 μM) protects neurons in rat cerebellar granule cell oxygen-glucose deprivation assay in a dose-dependent manner, with almost complete protection at 10 μM[1].
Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate sodium salt (DHEAS) (1 μM-1 mM; 48 h) inhibits TNF-α-induced VCAM-1, IL-8, and ICAM-1 expression in human aortic endothelial cell inflammation assay, and inhibits NF-κB activity via activation of PPARα[5].
Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate sodium salt (DHEAS) (10-7-10-5 M; 96 h) inhibits LIF-induced proliferation of juvenile bovine chromaffin cells and enhances EGF-induced proliferation of adult bovine chromaffin cells in a proliferation assay[6].

-
Concentration:10-7-10-5 M
-
Incubation Time:96 hours
-
Result:Did not affect basal proliferation but inhibited LIF-induced proliferation by 30% at 10-5 M.

Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) (converted from 2 mg/kg Dehydroepiandrosterone intraperitoneally; once daily; 13 days) can shorten the immobility time in the forced swim test in the male FSL rat model of depression, but when used in combination with electroconvulsive shock (ECS), it offsets the antidepressant effect of ECS[8].
Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) (10 mg/kg; subcutaneous injection; once daily; 4 weeks) sodium salt enhances the seizure sensitivity of Laka mice in the pentylenetetrazol-induced seizure model, as shown by a decrease in the half effective dose of seizure (ED50 from 67.6 mg/kg to 48.6 mg/kg) and a shortens seizure latency, an effect that is reversed by Progesterone (HY-N0437) or Dizocilpine (HY-15084B)[9].
Chronic treatment with Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate sodium salt for 4 weeks significantly reduces the body weight of mice in the pentylenetetrazol-induced seizure model[9].

Animal Model:Albino Guinea Pig Noise-Induced Cochlear Injury Model (250-350 g): 2 kHz pure tone (120-125 dB SPL for 10 min) induced cochlear injury[7]
-
Dosage:1 mg/kg Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate
-
Administration:Intravenous injection, single dose immediately before acoustic overexposure
-
Result:Significantly improved cochlear function 1 week after acoustic exposure, reducing CAP threshold shifts and increasing DPOAE amplitude compared to control groups. The protective effect was observed at 1 mg/kg but not at 0.1 mg/kg, with no significant effect immediately after exposure.
-
Animal Model:Flinder Sensitive Line (FSL) Rat Model of Depression (male, 200-220 g, 6-8 weeks old): forced swim test (FST) assay[8]
-
Dosage:2 mg/kg Dehydroepiandrosterone (converted to Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate)
-
Administration:Intraperitoneal injection, daily for 13 days
-
Result:Chronic Dehydroepiandrosterone administration (converted to Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate) alone reduced immobility time in FST, mimicking antidepressant effects. However, combined treatment with electroconvulsive shock (ECS) abolished this effect, with immobility time significantly increased compared to DHEA or ECS alone, indicating DHEAS may antagonize ECS efficacy.
-
Animal Model:Mouse Pentylenetetrazol-Induced Seizure Model (20-25 g): Pentylenetetrazol-induced tonic convulsions[9]
-
Dosage:10 mg/kg Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate
-
Administration:Subcutaneous injection, daily for 4 weeks
-
Result:Chronic treatment shifted pentylenetetrazol dose-response curves leftward, reducing ED50 for convulsions and shortening latency to seizure onset, indicating enhanced seizure sensitivity. This proconvulsant effect was prevented by co-treatment with progesterone or dizocilpine, linking it to GABAA receptor antagonism and NMDA receptor activation.

CCK8 assay was conducted to determine the viability of LNCap and 22RV1 cells treated with Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) (0, 2.5, 5, and 10 μM) for 48 h in a normal cultivation environment and an androgen-deprived environment. The results showed that DHEAS had no significant effect on cell proliferation in the FBS group.

A CCK8 assay was conducted to determine the viability of LNCap and 22RV1 cells treated with Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS, 2.5-10 μM) for 2, 4, and 6 days in an androgen-deprived environment. DHEAS promoted the proliferation of LNCap and 22RV1 cells in the androgen deprivation environment. When treated with 10 μM DHEAS, the proliferation rate of LNCap and 22RV1 cells was higher than that recorded in the blank control group. The proliferation rate of LNCap and 22RV1 cells increased by 21.8% and 20.8%, respectively, on day 6.

Transwell migration assay was performed to assess the migration ability of 22RV1 cells, and the cells were treated with 18β-GA (40 μM) and ENZ (40 μM) for 48 h. The results of the Transwell migration experiments suggested that Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS, 10 μM; 48 h) increased the migration of 22RV1 cells compared to the rate of cell migration recorded in the control group, but the combined treatment using 18β-GA and ENZ significantly inhibited cell mobility.
