Tanaproget
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Tanaproget is an orally effective, selective nonsteroidal progesterone receptor (PR) agonist targeting human PR with an IC50 of 1.7 nM. Tanaproget promotes the interaction between PR receptors and coactivators (such as SRC-1), thereby inhibiting the secretion of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-3/MMP-7) and reducing endometrial tissue invasion and angiogenesis. Tanaproget can be used for contraception and endometriosis inhibition research.

Protocols

Mitochondrial membrane-potential fluorescent assay
Mitochondrial membrane potential fluorescent assays estimate ΔΨm in living cells using lipophilic cationic dyes such as TMRM, TMRE, rhodamine 123, and JC-1, which accumulate in mitochondria according to membrane polarization; loss of signal after FCCP or CCCP treatment is interpreted as mitochondrial depolarization. TMRM/TMRE and rhodamine 123 are commonly used for semi-quantitative live-cell microscopy or flow cytometry, while JC-1 can report a shift from red aggregate fluorescence to green monomer fluorescence during depolarization; interpretation requires controls because dye concentration, quenching mode, cell type, dye efflux, and mitochondrial mass can affect fluorescence independently of ΔΨm.

Human pluripotent stem cell endothelial-cell differentiation
Human pluripotent stem cell endothelial differentiation is based on stepwise developmental patterning: early activation of WNT/GSK3β inhibition promotes mesodermal or vascular progenitor entry, followed by endothelial specification using VEGF-related signaling, BMP4, FGF2, Notch modulation, or cAMP depending on the published protocol. Endothelial differentiation is read out by acquisition of CD31, CD34, VE-cadherin/CD144, KDR/VEGFR2, vWF, Tie2, NOS3, acetylated LDL uptake, tube/network formation, barrier function, and in vivo vessel-forming capacity where tested.

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay
Cytotoxicity assays are usually based on the assessment of cell membrane damage, which can also be indirectly detected by measuring cell viability. Detection methods include MTT assay, CKK-8 assay, LDH assay and ATP assay, etc.

Vascular/Branching Fractal Analysis
Vascular/branching fractal analysis quantifies the geometric complexity of vessel trees or vascular networks from segmented 2D images, commonly by converting vessels into binary and/or skeletonized maps and estimating fractal dimension using box-counting or related approaches. Fractal dimension is interpreted as an image-derived readout of vascular branching complexity, space filling, or density, and has been applied to retinal photographs, fluorescein angiography, OCT angiography, capillary perfusion maps, and in vitro Matrigel angiogenesis networks. The assay readout is generated from vessel-positive pixels after image preprocessing, vessel segmentation, binarization, and optional skeletonization; reported outputs include fractal dimension, vessel density, branchpoint density, endpoint density, vessel length density, tortuosity, and generation-based branching metrics when VESGEN-style analysis is used. The biological interpretation is limited to quantitative vascular patterning and s

Mitochondrial membrane-potential and mitochondrial mass staining
Mitochondrial membrane potential staining measures the electrochemical polarization across the mitochondrial inner membrane in live cells using lipophilic cationic fluorescent probes; early rhodamine-based work showed that selective mitochondrial dye accumulation is lost when the mitochondrial transmembrane potential is dissipated. JC-1 reports mitochondrial polarization by shifting from green monomer fluorescence to red J-aggregate fluorescence as dye concentration increases within energized mitochondria; therefore, the red/green fluorescence ratio is used as a relative readout of mitochondrial membrane potential. TMRE or TMRM staining provides a single-channel relative readout because these cationic rhodamine esters accumulate in polarized mitochondria, and lower fluorescence indicates reduced mitochondrial polarization when acquisition and dye-loading conditions are controlled. Mitochondrial mass staining is commonly performed with MitoTracker Green FM or related MitoTracker dyes as

Endothelial Tube Formation Assay
Endothelial tube formation assay evaluates the ability of endothelial cells to attach, migrate, align, and organize into capillary-like networks when cultured on gelled basement membrane extract or Matrigel; the readout is the morphology and quantity of tube-like networks, which reflects an in vitro endothelial morphogenesis step related to angiogenesis. Basement membrane extract/Matrigel provides laminin-rich extracellular matrix cues that support endothelial differentiation into capillary-like structures, but it can contain biologically active growth factors, so growth-factor-reduced matrix is preferred when testing defined angiogenic stimulators or inhibitors.

Cell invasion
Cell invasion is the ability of cells to migrate from one area to another via the extracellular matrix. Cell invasion is the response of normal and cancer cells to chemical and mechanical stimuli. Before migrating to a new region, the extracellular matrix is degraded by proteases within the cell. Cell invasion often occurs during wound repair, vascularization and inflammation, abnormal tissue invasion, and tumor cell metastasis.
-
Endothelial Cell Migration/Angiogenic Sprouting Assay
Endothelial cell migration and angiogenic sprouting assays are in vitro (and partially ex vivo-adapted) functional models that quantify the ability of endothelial cells to undergo coordinated migration, extracellular matrix invasion, and multicellular organization into capillary-like sprouts in response to pro-angiogenic stimuli such as VEGF, bFGF, or conditioned microenvironments. These assays are used to model early angiogenic events including tip-cell formation, directional migration, and lumen-like sprout extension, which collectively reflect angiogenic activation and vascular morphogenesis processes observed in vivo.
