AGE
LR-90 (0, 25, 50, 100, and 200 μM) inhibits RAGE, MCP-1, COX-2, IP-10 and NOX2 mRNA expression in THP-1 cells in a dose-dependent manner, after pretreatment 1 h befor S100b stimulatation for 4 hours.
LR-90 (0, 25, 50, 100, and 200 μM) dose-dependently and significantly blocks THP-1 cells adherence to endothelial cells after pretreatment 1 h befor S100b stimulatation for 24 hours.
LR-90 (0, 25, 50, 100, and 200 μM, for 24 hours) shows no effect on the cell viability of THP-1 cells.
Cell Viability Assay
| Cell Line: | THP-1 cells |
| Concentration: | 0, 25, 50, 100, and 200 μM |
| Incubation Time: | 24 hours |
| Result: | Showed no cytotoxicity to THP-1 cells. |
RT-PCR
| Cell Line: | THP-1 cells |
| Concentration: | 0, 25, 50, 100, and 200 μM |
| Incubation Time: | One hour before S100b addition for 4 hours |
| Result: | Dose-dependently inhibited mRNA expression of RAGE, MCP-1, COX-2, IP-10, and NOX2 stimulated with S100b. |
LR-90 (50 mg/L, p.o. for 27 weeks) significantly reduces plasma lipids, modestly affects hyperglycaemia in ZDF rats.
LR-90 (50 mg/L) decreases renal AGE, AGER and lipid peroxidation.
| Animal Model: | Male ZDF rats (13 to 40 weeks) |
| Dosage: | 50 mg/L |
| Administration: | P.O. for 27 weeks |
| Result: | Significantly reduced plasma triacylglycerol and cholesterol by ∼55% and ∼30%, respectively. Modestly affected hyperglycaemia and blood pressure. Lowered the body weight. |
