  3. Regiafuran C

Regiafuran C is a compound with both TGF-βRI inhibitory and anti-fibrotic activities. Regiafuran C effectively inhibits renal fibrosis by binding to TGF-βRI and interfering with the TGF-β/Smad and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways. Regiafuran C also exhibits free radical scavenging activity, but shows no anti-inflammatory activity in PGE2 competitive enzyme immunoassays. The ability of Regiafuran C to specifically block the Smad3-TGF-βRII interaction and inhibit fibrotic processes allows its use in renal fibrosis research.

Description

Regiafuran C is a compound with both TGF-βRI inhibitory and anti-fibrotic activities. Regiafuran C effectively inhibits renal fibrosis by binding to TGF-βRI and interfering with the TGF-β/Smad and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways. Regiafuran C also exhibits free radical scavenging activity, but shows no anti-inflammatory activity in PGE2 competitive enzyme immunoassays. The ability of Regiafuran C to specifically block the Smad3-TGF-βRII interaction and inhibit fibrotic processes allows its use in renal fibrosis research[1][2].

In Vitro

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].

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.
