Relaxin H3 (human) TFA
Relaxin H3 (human) TFA is a relaxin peptide with anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, anti-pyroptotic, anti-migratory, protective and anti-fibrotic activities. Relaxin H3 (human) TFA acts on RXFP1 to generate cAMP and reduce the levels of ATP and ROS. Relaxin H3 (human) TFA inhibits renal inflammatory pyroptosis (pyroptosis), NLRP3 inflammasome activation, caspase-1 activation, IL-1β/IL-18 secretion, collagen synthesis, TGF-β1 signaling pathway, Smad2 phosphorylation, myofibroblast differentiation, TIMP expression, and HRMEC migration. Relaxin H3 (human) TFA activates AMPK, upregulates MFN2 expression, improves mitochondrial quality control and membrane potential, inhibits apoptosis (apoptosis) and pyroptosis, restores retinal ultrastructure, and reverses excessive left ventricular collagen expression. Relaxin H3 (human) TFA can be used in studies related to kidney stones, nephrocalcinosis, diabetic cardiomyopathy, fibrotic cardiomyopathy, and diabetic retinopathy.

Relaxin H3 (human) (20 ng/mL; 2 h pretreatment) TFA protects human proximal tubular HK2 cells from Ca2+Ox crystal-induced pyroptosis and inflammatory injury by reducing ROS production, decreasing ATP levels, and inhibiting activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome-GSDMD axis via the RXFP1-cAMP pathway[1].
Pretreatment with human Relaxin H3 (20 ng/mL for 2 h) TFA reduces the adhesion and internalization of Ca2+Ox crystals in human proximal tubular HK2 cells, and counteracts Ca2+Ox-induced acidification of the culture medium[1].
Relaxin H3 (human) TFA (100 ng/mL; 30 min pre-incubation, 48 h exposure/treatment) inhibits high glucose-induced collagen synthesis, NLRP3 inflammasome activation, ROS production and P2X7R expression in neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts[2].
Relaxin H3 (human) (10-500 ng/mL; 72 h) TFA potently inhibits TGF-β1-stimulated collagen deposition in primary neonatal rat ventricular fibroblasts when applied at concentrations of 100 ng/mL and 250 ng/mL for 72 h[3].
Relaxin H3 (human) (100 ng/mL; 72 h) TFA inhibits transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)-induced Smad2 phosphorylation by 40% and completely blocks TGF-β1-induced differentiation of primary neonatal rat ventricular fibroblasts into myofibroblasts (α-SMA expression)[3].
Relaxin H3 (human) (100 ng/mL; 72 h) TFA significantly inhibits the expression of TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 in primary neonatal rat ventricular fibroblasts stimulated with transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), with an inhibition rate of 50%-55%[3].
Relaxin H3 (human) (100 ng/mL; 30 min pre-incubation followed by 48 h treatment, or continuous 48 h treatment) TFA attenuates AGE-BSA-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation, apoptosis, pyroptosis and cell migration in human retinal microvascular endothelial cells by inhibiting the P2X7R-mediated signaling pathway[4].
Relaxin H3 (human) (100 ng/mL) TFA enhances the viability of H9C2 rat cardiomyocytes, reduces cell apoptosis, and ameliorates high glucose- and palmitic acid-induced mitochondrial dysfunction by regulating apoptosis-related proteins, mitochondrial fusion/fission/mitophagy proteins, ROS levels, membrane potential, and ATP production[5].
Relaxin H3 (human) (100 ng/mL) TFA alleviates apoptosis and mitochondrial dysfunction in MFN2-knockdown H9C2 rat cardiomyocytes induced by high glucose and palmitic acid by reversing the abnormal expression of apoptosis and mitochondrial quality control proteins, reducing ROS, restoring membrane potential, and increasing ATP levels[5].
Relaxin H3 (human) (100 ng/mL) TFA exerts a protective effect against high glucose- and palmitic acid-induced apoptosis and mitochondrial dysfunction in H9C2 rat cardiomyocytes by activating the AMPK pathway[5].

Human Relaxin H3 (0.2-2 µg/kg/d; daily administration for 14 consecutive days) TFA dose-dependently improves retinal ultrastructure, alleviates NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated inflammatory responses, and inhibits apoptosis in streptozotocin (HY-13753)-induced diabetic rats, with the protective effect of the 2 µg/kg/d dose being stronger than that of the 0.2 µg/kg/d dose[4].
Relaxin H3 (human) (2 μg/kg/d; intraperitoneal injection; daily administration for 2 consecutive weeks) TFA improves metabolic disorders, cardiac structure and function, and mitochondrial quality control, reduces cardiomyocyte apoptosis, and significantly decreases the levels of LVIDd, LVIDs, pro-apoptotic proteins, and fission/mitophagy proteins in Sprague-Dawley rats with diabetic cardiomyopathy by activating the AMPK pathway[5].
