  3. TGF-β1/Smad3-IN-2

TGF-β1/Smad3-IN-2 is an orally active antifibrotic agent. TGF-β1/Smad3-IN-2 has high affinity for VDR and can inhibit the TGFβ/SMAD3 signaling pathway. TGF-β1/Smad3-IN-2 inhibits hepatic stellate cell activation, reduces extracellular matrix deposition, and alleviates liver fibrosis in a bile duct ligation mouse model. TGF-β1/Smad3-IN-2 can be used for the research of liver fibrosis.

Description

TGF-β1/Smad3-IN-2 is an orally active antifibrotic agent. TGF-β1/Smad3-IN-2 has high affinity for VDR and can inhibit the TGFβ/SMAD3 signaling pathway. TGF-β1/Smad3-IN-2 inhibits hepatic stellate cell activation, reduces extracellular matrix deposition, and alleviates liver fibrosis in a bile duct ligation mouse model. TGF-β1/Smad3-IN-2 can be used for the research of liver fibrosis[1].

In Vitro

TGF-β1/Smad3-IN-2 (compound D13) (0.1 μM; 24 h) significantly downregulates the Collagen I (COL1A1) and α-SMA (ACTA2) markers in TGF-β1-induced human LX-2 hepatic stellate cells (HSCs)[1].
TGF-β1/Smad3-IN-2 exhibits extremely low cytotoxicity in human hepatic stellate cell line LX-2, with an IC50 > 50 μM[1].
TGF-β1/Smad3-IN-2 (0.1 μM; 48 h) induces 654 downregulated differentially expressed genes and 507 upregulated DEGs in TGF-β1-stimulated human hepatic stellate cell line LX-2, among which core fibrotic genes (COL1A1, COL1A2, COL3A1) are significantly downregulated, with significant enrichment in the TGF-β signaling pathway, ECM-receptor interaction pathway and Hippo signaling pathway[1].
TGF-β1/Smad3-IN-2 promotes the direct interaction between VDR and SMAD3 proteins in human hepatic stellate cell line LX-2[1].

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: LX-2 human hepatic stellate cells (HSCs)
Concentration: 0.1 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Reduced α-SMA and collagen I protein levels to near baseline.
In Vivo

TGF-β1/Smad3-IN-2 (100 μg/kg; oral gavage; once daily; for 2 consecutive weeks) exhibits antifibrotic efficacy in a mouse model of bile duct ligation-induced hepatic fibrosis[1].

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

Animal Model: C57BL/6 (male, 8 weeks old, liver fibrosis induced by common bile duct ligation)[1]
Dosage: 100 μg/kg
Administration: oral gavage; once daily; 2 weeks
Result: Markedly ameliorated hepatic inflammation and reduced collagen accumulation in liver tissue, with efficacy comparable to calcipotriol.
Significantly downregulated hepatic expression of pro-fibrotic genes Ctgf, Fn, and Timp-1.
Significantly reduced serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and total bile acids (TBA).
Did not induce significant changes in serum calcium levels.

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.
