Ecdysone

Research use only, not for human use.

Ecdysone is a major steroid hormone in insects and herbs. Ecdysone triggers mineralocorticoid receptor activation and induces cellular apoptosis. Ecdysone signaling through Ecdysone receptor isoform B1 is required cell autonomously for the muscle death.

Ecdysone is a major steroid hormone in insects and herbs. Ecdysone triggers mineralocorticoid receptor activation and induces cellular apoptosis. Ecdysone signaling through Ecdysone receptor isoform B1 is required cell autonomously for the muscle death.(In Vitro):Ecdysone (10, 100 nM) induced the expression of a-smooth muscle actin (SMA). Ecdysone elevated the expression of cleaved caspase 3 in a dose dependent manner. Ecdysone (10, 100 nM) suppressed cell motility and scratch wound closure to a comparable extent. Ecdysone (100 nM) induced a branched spindle mesenchymal-like cell shape. Ecdysone (100 nM) caused renal tubular inner medullary collecting duct cells apoptosis.(In Vivo):In male C57BL/6 mice, Ecdysone (6 μg/g/day; s.c.) significantly impaired renal function, and BUN levels were statistically significantly increased, amplifying the renal expression of α-SMA. Ecdysone also displayed MR-dependent nephrotic effects.
