Description

THX-B is a potent and non-peptidic p75NTR (neurotrophin receptor p75) antagonist. THX-B can be used in the research of diabetic kidney disease, neurodegenerative and inflammatory disorders[1][2][3].

In Vitro

THX-B (10 μM, 4 days) decreases proliferation of myoblasts[1].
THX-B (10 μM, 1 h) inhibits NGF-induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2 in C2C12 myoblasts[1].
THX-B (20 μM, 24 h) decreases photoreceptor cell death and reactive gliosis in cultured rd10 retinas[2].

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

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: C2C12 myoblasts
Concentration: 10 μM
Incubation Time: Pre-treated for 1 hour
Result: Inhibited βNGF-induced ERK2 phosphorylation by 67%.
Inhibited proNGF-induced ERK2 phosphorylation by 90%.

Immunofluorescence[1]

Cell Line: Cultured P22 rd10 retinas.
Concentration: 20 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Attenuated the thickening and enlargement of processes of astrocytes and Müller glia cells.
In Vivo

THX-B (50 μg in 125 μL PBS, i.p. weekly for 4 weeks) improves bladder function in a mouse model of diabetic voiding dysfunction[3].
THX-B (2 μL of 2 μg/μL, IVT injection, a single dose) elicits a neuroprotective effect on photoreceptor cells in P17 rd10 mice[2].
THX-B (40 μg in 20 μL, IVT injection) resolves the inflammatory, vascular, and neurodegenerative phases of the retinal pathology[4].

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

Animal Model: Mouse model of diabetic voiding dysfunction
Dosage: 50 μg in 125 μL PBS
Administration: Intraperitoneal injection (i.p.)
Result: Prevented bladder weight increase, which was 18% (95% CI 3%, 32%) and 37% (95% CI 14%, 60%) lower after 2 and 4 weeks of treatment.
Animal Model: P17 rd10 mice[1]
Dosage: 2 μL of 2 μg/μL, single dose
Administration: Intravitreal (IVT) injected in one eye
Result: Increased the number of photoreceptor rows as well as the ONL/INL ratio.
Decreased the total number of microglial cells in the treated retinas, as well as some of the inflammatory signs, such as GFAP, α2M and the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β and TNFα.

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.
