Taurochenodeoxycholic acid (12-Deoxycholyltaurine) dramatically improves the apoptosis rate of NR8383 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. In the meantime, Taurochenodeoxycholic acid significantly augments PKC mRNA levels, activities and increases JNK, caspase-3 and caspase-8 mRNA expression levels, activities[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Taurochenodeoxycholic acid significantly normalizes the clinical inflammatory parameters, prevented indomethacin-induced increases in the biliary contents of secondary bile acids and hydrophobicity index, and tended to attenuate the intestinal inflammation[3].
Taurochenodeoxycholic acid significantly suppresses paw swelling and polyarthritis index, increases the loss body weight and index of thymus and spleen, and amends radiologic changes in AA rats. The overproduction and mRNA expression of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 are remarkably suppressed in serum and synovium tissue of all TCDCA-treated rats[4].
