Equilenin
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Equilenin is a B-ring unsaturated estrogen discovered in pregnant mare urine and is one of the major components of Premarin, a drug commonly used for estrogen replacement therapy. Equilenin binds to estrogen receptors in the body and exerts effects similar to endogenous estrogens. Equilenin weakly binds to and activates the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) to induce CYP1A1 expression. Equilenin exhibits high affinity for sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG/SBP) and is metabolized by CYP1A1/1B1 to 4-hydroxy and 17β-dihydro derivatives. Equilenin is used in breast cancer-related research.

Biological Activity
제품 설명
In Vitro
Equilenin (10-300 μM; 1 h) directly binds to AhR in C57BL mice, and at high concentrations inhibits specific [3H]B (a) P binding by approximately 50%[1].
Equilenin binds to SBP with an equilibrium association constant of approximately 6 × 107 M-1, which is strong enough to competitively displace the natural steroid DHT from the binding site[2].
Equilenin (1-30 μM; 24 h) induces CYP1A1 mRNA expression in HepG2 cells in a concentration-dependent manner[1].
Equilenin (1-30 μM; 24 h) activates transcription through the xenobiotic response element (XRE) in HepG2 cells[1].

Cell Line:HepG2 cells
-
Concentration:1, 1, 3, 10 or 30 μM
-
Incubation Time:24 h
-
Result:Induced CYP1A1 mRNA in a concentration-dependent manner, reaching an approximate 15-fold induction at 30 μM compared to control.
In Vivo
Equilenin (1-20 mg/kg/day; i.p.; intraperitoneal injection; 3 consecutive days) significantly induces CYP1A activity and protein expression in the liver of DBA2 mice at high doses[1].
Equilenin (1-10 mg/L; immersion; 2 h) causes significant developmental toxicity and teratogenicity in developing medaka embryos, including malformations, mortality, and delayed hatching, accompanied by alterations in multiple gene expression pathways[4].

Protocol
-
RNA extraction experimental
By lysing cells, releasing RNA, and removing impurities such as proteins and DNA, high-purity RNA products are finally obtained. The commonly used traditional method is the guanidine isothiocyanate/phenol/chloroform method (Trizol), which is suitable for a variety of animal materials including animal tissues, microorganisms, cultured cells, etc., and most plant materials.

Research Protocol for Endocrine Diseases
Endocrine diseases often arise from disrupted hormone production, hormone signaling, or target-tissue responsiveness; for diabetes-focused endocrine disease models, insulin signaling regulates glucose uptake, hepatic glucose output, lipid metabolism, and β-cell compensation. Type 2 diabetes develops through interacting defects in insulin resistance, β-cell dysfunction, adipose inflammation, hepatic glucose overproduction, altered incretin signaling, and ectopic lipid metabolism. A major unresolved question is whether endocrine dysfunction is driven primarily by target-tissue insulin resistance, intrinsic β-cell failure, immune/inflammatory stress, or combined multi-organ failure that differs by disease stage.

Breast Cancer Modeling
Breast cancer is a heterogeneous cancer, and it has been distinguished into four subtypes: luminal A, luminal B, HER2-positive and basal-like. Molecular mutations, epigenetic alterations, hormone exposure and immune microenvironment are related to the progression of breast cancer.
