Description 3-Oxo-5β-cholanoic acid (Dehydrolithocholic acid), a bile acid metabolite, inhibits the diferentiation of TH17 cells by directly binding to the key transcription factor RORγt (Kd=1.13 μM)[1].
Related Catalog
In Vitro Treatment with 3-Oxo-5β-cholanoic acid significantly reduced the activity of the RORγt reporter. These data suggest that 3-Oxo-5β-cholanoic acid probably inhibits TH17 cell differentiation by physically interacting with RORγt, and inhibiting its transcriptional activity[1].
In Vivo 3-Oxo-5β-cholanoic acid (Dehydrolithocholic acid) (0.3% (w/w); p.o.; for 1 week) significantly reduces the percentage of ileal TH17 cells[1]. Animal Model: B6 Jax mice (with a faecal slurry containing SFB)[1] Dosage: 0.3% (w/w) Administration: Gavaged; for 1 week Result: Significantly reduced the percentage of ileal TH17 cells.
