    To evaluate this specific effect of NETosis in the Brd7-deficient context, we treated the mice injected with Brd7-KO cells with either Sivelestat (50 mg/kg) or DMSO starting at the 2-week timepoint, which marks the onset of lung metastatic outgrowth. FACS analysis of dissociated lungs isolated at the 4-week timepoint demonstrated a significant decrease in CTLA4 + CD8 + and PD1 + CD8 + T cells upon Sivelestat treatment.

    In Vitro

    Sivelestat (ONO-5046) does not inhibit trypsin, thrombin, plasmin, plasma kallikrein, pancreas kallikrein, chymotrypsin and cathepsin G even at 100 μM[1].
    Sivelestat (ONO-5046) exhibits IC50 values of 44 nM, 36 nM, 19 nM, 37 nM and 49 nM for human, rabbit, rat, hamster and mouse neutrophil elastase, respectively[1].

    MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    In Vivo

    Sivelestat (ONO-5046, 0.021-2.1 mg/kg, intratracheally) suppresses lung hemorrhage in hamster (ID50 = 82 pg/kg) by intratracheal administration and increase of skin capillary permeability in guinea pig (ID50 = 9.6 mg/kg) by intravenous administration, both of which are induced by human neutrophil elastase[1].
    Sivelestat (10 mg/kg, infusion via the tail vein) ameliorates lung injury after hemorrhagic shock in rats[2].
    Sivelestat (15, 60 mg/kg, ip) prevents ischemia–reperfusion injury in the rat bladder[3].

    In Vivo:

    Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

    For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
    To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    • Protocol 1

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.75 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

      Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
    • Protocol 2

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.75 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

      Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

    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.
