Description | Butaprost is a selective prostaglandin E receptor (EP2) agonist with a Ki of 2.4 μM for murine EP2 receptor. Butaprost is less activity against murine EP1, EP3 and EP4 receptors. Butaprost effectively mitigates renal fibrogenesis[1][2][3]. |

In Vitro | Butaprost (1-100 nM; 0.5-24 hours) induces about a five-fold upregulation of Nur77 mRNA expression in hEP2-HEK293/EBNA cells in a dose- and time-dependent. Butaprost upregulated Nur77 gene expression through the PKC pathway[1]. Butaprost (50 μM; 24 hours) reduces TGF-β-induced fibronectin (FN) expression, Smad2 phosphorylation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition in Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cells[2]. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Line: HEK 293/EBNA cells stably expressing the human EP2 receptor (hEP2-HEK 293/EBNA cells) Concentration: 1 nM, 10 nM, 100 nM Incubation Time: 0.5 hours, 1 hours, 6 hours, 24 hours Result: Induced about a five-fold upregulation of Nur77 mRNA expression in hEP2-HEK293/EBNA cells. |
In Vivo | Butaprost (1-4 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; twice daily; for 7 days) treatment attenuates the development of fibrosis in mice that underwent unilateral ureteral obstruction surgery, as illustrated by a reduction in the gene and protein expression of α-smooth muscle actin, fibronectin and collagen 1A1[2]. Animal Model: Male C57BL/6 mice (8 weeks of age; 21 g) bearing unilateral ureteral obstruction surgery[2] Dosage: 1 mg/kg, 2 mg/kg, 4 mg/kg Administration: Intraperitoneal injection; twice daily; for 7 days Result: Attenuated the development of fibrosis in mice that underwent unilateral ureteral obstruction surgery. |
