| General tips | We do not recommend long-term storage for the solution, please use it up soon. |
| Cell experiment [1]: | |
|
Cell lines |
Peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) or peripheral CD4+ and CD8+ T cell subsets |
|
Preparation method |
The solubility of this compound in DMSO is > 15.4 mg/mL. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37 °C for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while. Stock solution can be stored below - 20 °C for several months. |
|
Reacting condition |
10-3 ~ 10-12 M; 72, 96 and 120 hrs |
|
Applications |
Prednisone arrested PBL in the G1 phase of cell cycle, and inhibited IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) expression as well as IL-2 secretion. In phytohaemaglutinin (PHA)-activated human PBL, Prednisone significantly increased apoptosis. Moreover, Prednisone exhibited stronger apoptotic effect on CD8+ T lymphocytes than on CD4+ T lymphocytes. All these effects were shown in dose- and time-dependent manners. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
|
Animal models |
Male Wistar rats |
|
Dosage form |
5 mg/kg/d; p.o.; for 90 days |
|
Applications |
In Wistar rats, Prednisone significantly delayed learning and memory retention by 20%. Compared with the control group, the neuronal degeneration index in the Prednisone treatment group was 2 times higher in the prefrontal cortex, and about 10 times higher in the CA1 hippocampus. In addition, Prednisone substantially increased the number and cytoplasmic transformation of astrocytes, as well as isolectin-B4-labeled microglia cells in the prefrontal cortex. |
|
Other notes |
Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal. |
