In vitro
In vitro

Treatment of hemin or AFC damped the expression of TFRC in CT26 cells, which can be significantly rescued by overexpression of OTUD1.[1]

Cell Research Cell lines CT26 cells
Concentrations 100 μM
Incubation Time 30 min
Method

Mock‐ and OTUD1‐expressing CT26 cells are treated with hemin (100 μM). Flow cytometric analyses the TFRC expression.

In Vivo
In vivo

Following the i.p. administration of Hemin (100 μM/kg), the HO-1 level in the renal cortex begins to increase gradually. The HO-1 level reaches its peak 24 h after Hemin preconditioning. HO-1 is expressed mainly in the renal tubules. The HO-2 level in the kidney does not change following Hemin preconditioning.

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
