Description

LJ-2698 is an orally active adenosine A3 receptor antagonist. LJ-2698 induces increased levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines in macrophages and significantly elevates the number of anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages in the lung. LJ-2698 prevents alveolar cavity enlargement, restores pulmonary function, inhibits matrix metalloproteinase activity and pulmonary cell apoptosis in the lung tissues of mice. LJ-2698 prevents renal injury, inhibits renal lipid accumulation, and increases PGC1α levels in renal tissues of mice with diabetic nephropathy. LJ-2698 is applicable to the research of emphysema and diabetic nephropathy[1][2].

In Vitro

LJ-2698 (0.1 μM, 72 h) restores the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines (Il4, Il10) and M2 macrophage markers (Arg1, Mrc1) in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages[1].

Real Time qPCR[1]

Cell Line: RAW 264.7 (murine macrophage)
Concentration: 0.1 μM
Incubation Time: 48 h (pretreatment); 24 h (co-incubation with LPS)
Result: Significantly ameliorated LPS-mediated downregulation of Il4 and Il10 anti-inflammatory cytokine mRNA expression.
Significantly restored LPS-mediated downregulation of Arg1 and Mrc1 M2 macrophage marker mRNA expression.
In Vivo

LJ-2698 (50 μg/kg; p.o.; 6 times per week for 5 consecutive weeks) significantly inhibits Elastase, Porcine pancreas (HY-P2974)-induced emphysema in FVB mice by restoring pulmonary function, reducing airspace enlargement, inhibiting matrix metalloproteinase activity and pulmonary cell apoptosis, and promoting M2 macrophage-mediated anti-inflammatory responses, with extremely low observed toxicity[1].
LJ-2698 (1.5-10 mg/kg; p.o.; once daily; for 12 weeks) improves diabetic nephropathy in db/db mice in a dose-dependent manner, and the 10 mg/kg dose exhibits the most stable and comprehensive renoprotective effects across all detected indicators[2].

Animal Model: FVB mice (8-week-old)[1]
Dosage: 50 μg/kg
Administration: p.o.; 6 times per week; 5 weeks
Result: Restored lung compliance and tissue elasticity to levels closer to control mice.
Markedly suppressed PPE-induced airspace enlargement and reduced the elevated PPE-induced mean linear intercept (MLI).
Suppressed PPE-mediated increases in matrix metalloproteinase gelatinase activity in lung tissue.
Significantly reduced the number of TUNEL-positive apoptotic cells in the lungs compared to PPE-only treated mice.
Restored PPE-induced downregulation of anti-inflammatory cytokine (Il4, Il10) and M2 macrophage marker (Arg1, Mrc1/CD206) mRNA expression in lung tissue.
Increased the number of CD206-positive M2 macrophages per field in lung tissue.
Caused no significant changes in body weight compared to control or PPE-only groups, indicating minimal toxicity.
Animal Model: C57BLKS/J-db/db (male, 8 weeks old)[2]
Dosage: 1.5 mg/kg; 5 mg/kg; 10 mg/kg
Administration: p.o.; daily; 12 weeks
Result: Significantly reduced elevated glomerular volume and fractional mesangial area across all three doses, with no significant differences between doses.
Significantly reduced increased urinary albumin excretion at 5 and 10 mg/kg doses; did not produce a significant reduction at 1.5 mg/kg dose.
Significantly prevented reduced nephrin mRNA levels and increased NGAL mRNA levels at 10 mg/kg dose.
Significantly inhibited increased TGF-β mRNA levels at 10 mg/kg dose; did not produce a significant reduction at 1.5 and 5 mg/kg doses.
Significantly reduced increased collagen IV and fibronectin mRNA levels at 5 and 10 mg/kg doses.
Significantly reduced elevated MCP-1 mRNA levels at 5 and 10 mg/kg doses; significantly inhibited increased ICAM-1 mRNA levels at 10 mg/kg dose, while 1.5 and 5 mg/kg doses did not.
Significantly decreased increased urinary LPO levels at 5 and 10 mg/kg doses.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
