In Vitro |
Tectorigenin is a plant isoflavonoid originally isolated from the dried flower of Pueraria thomsonii Benth. Palmitic acid (PA)-stimulated ROS production is abolished by treatment with Tectorigenin for HUVECs in a dose-dependent manner (0.1, 1, 10 μM). Treatment with Tectorigenin attenuates enhanced IKKβ phosphorylation and effectively blocks NF-κB activation by inhibition of p65 phosphorylation at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 10 μM. Tectorigenin treatment also effectively inhibits PA-augmented TNF-α and IL-6 production in a concentration dependent manner[1]. The number of viable HepG2 cells treated by Tectorigenin decreases in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. When HepG2 cells are treated with Tectorigenin at 5, 10 and 20 mg/L for 24 h, the viability rate is 91%, 79% and 62%, respectively[2].

Cell Assay |
Cell viability is assessed by MTT method. Briefly, cells are seeded in 96-well plate at a density of 1×104 cells/well. After 24 h incubation, Tectorigenin at different concentrations is added to the cells while only DMSO (solvent) is added as a negative control. After growing for 12, 24 and 48 h, cells are incubated with MTT (0.5 mg/mL) for 4 h at 37°C. During this incubation period, water-insoluble formazan crystals are formed, which are dissolved by the addition of 100 μL/well DMSO. The optical densities at 570 nm are measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay plate reader. Wells containing culture medium and MTT but no cells act as blanks[2].
