[Abstract]
MCF-7 cells are pretreated with the indicated chemical inhibitors for 30min, followed by 15 min treatment with RA (20 μM) + EPA (80 μM).Cell extracts are prepared and subjected to western blotting analysis.
Effect of LXA4 on astrocyte viability. Cell viability is measured by MTT reduction assay. Results are expressed as the percentage of MTT reduction normalized to the control group (100 %). The MTT reduction is reduced by OGDR, but is significantly increased by LXA4. The effect is not antagonized by Boc2, but partly reversed by U73122 and T0070907.

Description
U-73122 is a phospholipase C (PLC) and 5-LO (5-lipoxygenase) inhibitor with an IC50of 1-2.1 µM for PLC.
IC50 & Target
5-LOX
In Vitro
U-73122 potently inhibits receptor-coupled activation of PLC in membranes isolated from PMNs[1]. U-73122 inhibits N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine-induced aggregation of human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) and the associated production of IP3 and diacyglycerol[2]. U-73122 markedly inhibits inositol phosphate release elicited by either oxotremorine-M or guanosine-5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) than that induced by added Ca2+ in digitonin-permeabilized cells[3].

In Vivo
U73122 significantly attenuates TNF-α mRNA expression, has no effect on sham animals, but significantly increases heart work and rate of contraction and relaxation without affecting heart rate in endotoxemic mice[4]. U73122 (400 nM/μL) significantly reduces total lordosis durations, compared to vehicle infusions to the VTA, of oestradiol and progesterone-primed hamsters. VTA infusions of U73122 do not alter motor behaviour of hamsters in the activity monitor, but there is a significant effect of muscimol to decrease total number of beam breaks compared to hamsters administered SKF38393[5].

*Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month. When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.
For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day. The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Protocol 1
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.62 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μLDMSO stock solution (6.2 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Protocol 2
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.62 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μLDMSO stock solution (6.2 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly.
It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time. The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution.
If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation,
heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Protocol 1

Cell Assay
[2]
Agonist-induced production of IP3 in PMN is measured by use of the competitive radiobinding assy. PMN (2 x 106-107) in 0.2 mL of phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.4 [NaC1 (138 mM), Na2HPO4 (8.1 mM), KH2PO4 (1.5 mM), KCI (2.7 mM), CaCl2 (1.0 mM), MgC12 (1.0 mM) and glucose (0.1%, w/v)] are incubated in conical polypropylene tubes at 37°C in a shaking water bath. U-73122 or U-73343 is added (in 1 μL of DMSO) 3 min before the addition of agonist, FMLP (0.1 μM) plus cytochalasin B (5 μg/mL). FMLP and cytochalasin B are added in 1 μL each of DMSO and ethanol, respectively. Appropriate vehicle controls are included in each experiment. PMN incubation mixtures are quenched with the addition of 0.07 mL of ice-cold TCA (20%, w/v) and a portion (0.2 mL) of the TCA extract is processed for the measurement of IP3 by competitive radiobinding as described above for platelets.

Animal Administration
[5]
Hamsters are hormone-primed with 17β-oestradiol at h 0 and progesterone at h 45. At h 48, hamsters are pretested for motor behaviour, followed by sexual behaviour testing, and bilateral infusions of U73122 (400 nM/μL) or saline vehicle. Thirty minutes after infusions, hamsters are re-tested for sexual behaviour (post inhibitor infusion test) and, immediately after testing, infused bilaterally with SKF38393 (100 ng/μL), muscimol (100 ng/μL), or saline vehicle. Thirty minutes after the agonist or vehicle infusions, lordosis and motor behaviour of hamsters is reassessed (post agonist infusion test). All hamsters are assigned to one pretreatment condition, U73122 or vehicle, and are tested once a week for 3 weeks until all infusion conditions (SKF38393, muscimol or vehicle), are received. The order in which hamsters receive SKF38393, muscimol or vehicle infusions is counterbalanced across the group.

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.
