| Targets |
Edratide targets immune pathways involved in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It downregulates pathogenic cytokines, apoptosis, and IFN-alpha gene expression. It upregulates immunosuppressive molecules and Tregs in peripheral blood. Edratide reduces the rates of apoptosis and downregulates caspase-8 and caspase-3, while upregulating Bcl-xL. Its mechanism of action involves modulation of the immune response to restore immune tolerance.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro studies demonstrate that Edratide reduces the rates of apoptosis and downregulates caspase-8 and caspase-3, while upregulating Bcl-xL. It downregulates pathogenic cytokines, apoptosis, and IFN-alpha gene expression. Its in vitro activity is assessed in immune cells (e.g., peripheral blood mononuclear cells) from SLE patients or healthy donors. Cytokine production is measured by ELISA or multiplex assays. Apoptosis is assessed by flow cytometry or caspase activity assays. Gene expression is measured by qPCR.
|
| ln Vivo |
Edratide (20-50 µg; subcutaneous injection; once weekly for 10 weeks) exhibits therapeutic effects on SLE by modulating gene expression [2]. Edratide (50 μg/mouse; subcutaneous injection; 10 times a week) can lower the apoptotic rate of SLE mice, downregulate caspase-8 and caspase-3, and upregulate Bcl-xL [3].
In vivo studies have confirmed the data from animal models, showing that Edratide downregulates pathogenic cytokines, apoptosis, and IFN-alpha gene expression, and upregulates immunosuppressive molecules and Tregs in peripheral blood. In a study, Edratide (20-50 microg; s.c.; once a week for 10 weeks) exerted beneficial effects on SLE through regulation of gene expression. The compound has shown potential for the treatment of SLE. |
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro assays for Edratide involve measuring its effects on immune cells. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from SLE patients or healthy donors are treated with the compound. Cytokine production (e.g., IFN-alpha, IL-6, TNF-alpha) is measured by ELISA or multiplex assays. Apoptosis is assessed by flow cytometry using Annexin V/PI staining or by measuring caspase-8 and caspase-3 activity. Bcl-xL expression is measured by Western blotting or qPCR. Treg cell populations are analyzed by flow cytometry using FoxP3 staining.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular assays for Edratide are conducted using immune cells such as PBMCs or purified T cells. Cells are treated with varying concentrations of the compound for 24-72 hours. Cytokine production is measured in culture supernatants by ELISA. Apoptosis is assessed by flow cytometry using Annexin V/PI staining. Caspase-8 and caspase-3 activity is measured using fluorogenic substrates. Bcl-xL expression is assessed by Western blotting or qPCR. Treg cell populations are analyzed by flow cytometry.

Animal/Disease Models: 7-8 months old BWF1 female mice with SLE [3] Doses: 50 μg/mouse Route of Administration: Sc; 10-week Experimental Results: diminished apoptosis, downregulation of caspase-8 and caspase-3, Bcl-xL is upregulated. In vivo animal studies with Edratide have been conducted in animal models of SLE. In a study, Edratide (20-50 microg; s.c.; once a week for 10 weeks) exerted beneficial effects on SLE through regulation of gene expression. Animal models of SLE (e.g., MRL/lpr mice, NZB/W F1 mice) are used. Animals are treated with the compound via subcutaneous injection. Disease progression is monitored by measuring proteinuria, anti-dsDNA antibody levels, and survival. Cytokine and gene expression are assessed in tissues. |
