Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
L57 (EC50-determining concentrations; 1 h) acetate selectively binds to recombinant human LRP1(CL4)-Fc with an EC50 of 45 nM in a plate ELISA assay[1].
Fluorescein-labeled L57 (3-30 μM; 4 h, 1 min) exhibits rapid, concentration-dependent, LRP1-mediated uptake in primary rat BMVECs and astrocytes, with significantly higher uptake efficiency than the reference peptide at matching concentrations, and shows limited uptake in LRP1-deficient PEA 10 cells[2].
Fluorescein-labeled L57 (3-30 μM; 4 h) shows excellent biocompatibility with no cytotoxicity observed in primary rat BMVECs or LRP1-deficient PEA 10 cells at concentrations up to 30 μM after 4 h of incubation[2].

Cell Line:Primary rat brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMVECs), LRP1-deficient PEA 10 mouse embryonic fibroblasts
-
Concentration:3 μM, 10 μM, 30 μM
-
Incubation Time:4 h
-
Result:Resulted in high cell viability in both BMVECs and PEA 10 cells, with metabolic activity comparable to vehicle control conditions at all tested concentrations.
In Vivo
L57 (i.v.; single dose) acetate results in modest brain delivery in male C57BL/6J mice, with a % input value of 0.042[1].
L57 acetate demonstrates significant blood-brain barrier permeability and high LRP1 binding affinity in healthy mice, supporting its potential as a CNS drug delivery vector[2].

Protocols

Transepithelial/transendothelial electrical resistance assay
TEER measures electrical resistance across epithelial or endothelial monolayers cultured on permeable supports, and the readout reflects ionic conductance through the cell barrier, especially the paracellular pathway regulated by junctional integrity. TEER can be measured without destroying the monolayer and is commonly used before or during transport, permeability, barrier-disruption, and barrier-maturation experiments. TEER values are influenced by biological maturation and technical conditions; reported factors include temperature, medium formulation, passage number, electrode geometry, membrane properties, and junctional length during early monolayer maturation. Therefore, TEER should be interpreted with blank-insert subtraction, area normalization, repeated readings, and, when possible, orthogonal barrier readouts such as FITC-dextran flux or tight-junction staining.
