    In Vitro

    Norepinephrine (NE) is generally considered to be a β1-subtype selective adrenergic agonist over β2-adrenoceptor. Norepinephrine(NE) also has direct activity at the β2-adrenoceptor in higher concentrations[1].
    Adipocytes from the inguinal fat pad (iWA) or the interscapular fat pad (BA) are isolated from neonatal wild-type C57BL/6J mice and cultured. To examine the effect of activating AT2 upon β-adrenergic signaling, cAMP production is first assessed in response to Norepinephrine (NE, 10 μM) with or without CGP (10 nM) co-treatment.
    Norepinephrine (NE) increases cAMP as expected in iWA, and CGP does not alter this effect
    Norepinephrine (NE) is also known to induce lipolysis, and liberated fatty acids are required to functionally activate UCP1 protein and to stimulate heat production. CREB phosphorylation at Ser133 is increased after Norepinephrine (NE) treatment and significantly attenuated with CGP co-treatment in mouse iWA[3].

    Induction of cardiomyopathy[5][6]
    Background
    Norepinephrine is a potent growth factor for cardiomyocytes, and long-term infusion of sub-hypertensive doses of Norepinephrine in animals can cause an increase in myocardial mass and left ventricular wall thickness. Norepinephrine activates the raf-1 kinase/MAP kinase cascade through α1 and β-adrenergic stimulation, and the signaling pathways from these two receptors work synergistically to induce cardiomyocyte hypertrophy.
    Specific Mmodeling Methods
    Rat: Spragues-Dawley rats • adult (6 months old) • Male &bull.
    Administration: Each rat was continuously injected with 100 μg/kg/h or 200 μg/kg/h through an osmotic minipump.
    Note
    Modeling Indicators
    Molecular changes: Significantly increased Dnmt activity and the expressions of Dnmt1, 3a, and 3b in the left ventricle.
    Significantly increased the mRNA expressions of fetal genes ANP, BNP, and βMHC in the left ventricle.
    Significantly increased ROS production in the left ventricle and increased global genomic DNA methylation and gene-specific CpG methylation at the Egr-1 binding site of the left ventricular PKCε promoter region in a concentration-dependent manner.
    Increased lactate dehydrogenase release in a concentration-dependent manner.
    Significantly reduced the left ventricular developed pressure and dP/dtmax, inducing the upregulation of myotrophin and downregulation of four-and-a-half LIM domains protein 2 (FHL2).
    Phenotype observations: Increased the myocardial infarction area and sustained the elevation of blood pressure.
    Induced cardiac hypertrophy and reduced cardiac contractility.
    Increased the left ventricular weight.

    Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

    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.

    Cell Assay
    [2]

    Subcutaneous preadipocytes derived from a 38-year old non-diabetic female donor are immortalized with TERT and HPV E6/E7. For the current studies, a stable diploid clone (referred to as clone B) with consistent differentiation capacity is isolated by ring cloning. Cells are grown in preadipocyte PGM2 media. Once cells are confluent, differentiation is induced by incubation in differentiation media consisting of dexamethasone, IBMX, indomethacin, and additional insulin. Cells are differentiated for 10 days. Prior to treatment, media is replaced with PGM2 media for one day and then switched to serum-free media overnight for treatments. Adipocytes are treated for 6 hours with vehicle, Norepinephrine (NE, 10 μM), CGP (10 nM), or Norepinephrine (NE) and CGP[2].

    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.
