Biological Activity
Regiafuran C (10-40 μM; 24 h) shows no cytotoxicity against human renal proximal tubular HK-2 cells, but dose-dependently reduces the expressions of fibronectin, type I collagen, N-cadherin and vimentin in human renal proximal tubular HK-2 cells stimulated by TGF-β1[1].
Regiafuran C (10-40 μM; 24 h) inhibits the activation of the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway in TGF-β1-stimulated human renal proximal tubular HK-2 cells in a dose-dependent manner, and reduces the levels of Wnt1, Wnt3a, GSK-3β, β-catenin, MMP7, MMP9, TGF-βRII, TGF-β1, p-Smad3, p-Smad2 and Smad4[1].
Regiafuran C (40 μM; 24 h) significantly reduces the mRNA expression levels of fibronectin, type I collagen, N-cadherin and vimentin in TGF-β1-induced human renal proximal tubular HK-2 cells[1].
Regiafuran C (40 μM; 24 h) reduces the protein levels of fibronectin, type I collagen, N-cadherin, and vimentin in TGF-β1-stimulated human renal proximal tubular HK-2 cells, as determined by immunofluorescence staining[1].
Regiafuran C (40 μM; 24 h) blocks the interaction between Smad3 and TGF-βRII in TGF-β1-stimulated human renal proximal tubular HK-2 cells[1].
