Biological Activity
Description
IC50 & Target
IC50: 40 μM (FXR)[1]
In Vitro
T-βMCA sodium inhibits FXR reporter activity in the CRC cell line HT29 (EC50 ~10 μM)[3].
T-βMCA sodium dose-dependently increases WNT signaling in HT29 and HCT116 cells[3].
T-βMCA sodium induces proliferation and DNA damage in Lgr5+ cells[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
In Vivo
T-βMCA sodium treatment also significantly increases levels of serum cytokines, including IFN-γ, IL-6, and IL-17[3].

The expression of two FXR downstream markers, fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) and small heterodimer partner (SHP), were increased by CDCA. But this was abrogated by TβMCA (Tauro-β-muricholic acid sodium, 20 μM), UDCA, and 7-keto-LCA in both intestinal cell lines.

The contents of bile acids such as TCA, T-α-MCA, DCA, TDCA, CA, TCDCA, T-β-MCA, CDCA, and TUDCA were significantly altered when AS occurred (p < 0.01, vs. Ctrl group). However, XXT could only significantly reverse the changes of CDCA, DCA, T-β-MCA, TCA, and TCDCA (p < 0.01, vs. AS group).
