Description

Cholesterol myristate is a natural steroid present in traditional Chinese medicine. Cholesterol myristate binds to several ion channels such as the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, GABAA receptor, and the inward-rectifier potassium ion channel.

IC50 & Target

nAChR, GABAA receptor, Potassium Channel[3]

In Vitro

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) transfected by the Id1 promoter reporter construct, cholesterol myristate increases the activity of Id1 promoter. Cholesterol myristate inhibits the apoptosis of MSCs induced by serum-free. Cholesterol myristate increases the expression of Id1 and its target gene bcl-x/l in MSCs treated with serum-free. Moreover, noggin, a BMP antagonist, reduces the anti-apoptotic effects of cholesterol myristate[1]. Cholesterol myristate inhibits the apoptosis of PC12 cells induced in serum-free condition. Cholesterol myristate significantly increases the expression of BMP4, BMPRIA, p-Smad1/5/8, Id1 and its antiapoptotic target gene Bcl-xL in PC12 cells treated in serum-free condition[1].

Cell Assay
[1]

MSCs are cultured with or without serum in 96-well plates and treated with cholesterol myristate in various concentrations (0, 30 and 300 μg/mL) for 3 days. Each sample is repeated in five independent wells and is incubated for 72 h. After incubation, 20 μL MTT (5 mg/mL) is added and the culture is incubated for a further 4 h. The culture medium is discarded and replaced with 150 μL DMSO. The absorbance at 490nm is measured[1].

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.
