| Targets |
Metabolite of Taurolithocholic Acid; The primary targets of Taurolithocholic acid 3-sulfate disodium include the GPR39 receptor and the CD95 death receptor. As a GPR39 agonist, it stimulates GPR39 receptors to initiate intracellular calcium signaling in M39-20 and hGPR39-2 cells, with EC₅₀ values of 71.6 and 69.4 μM (in the absence of Zn²⁺) and 9 and 9.6 μM (in the presence of Zn²⁺), independent of Zn²⁺ binding sites H17 and H19. Furthermore, this compound induces oxidative stress and EGFR tyrosine phosphorylation, triggering CD95 tyrosine phosphorylation, CD95 membrane targeting, and death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) formation, mediating hepatocyte apoptosis. The compound also promotes CD95 trafficking to the plasma membrane via sustained activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK).

| ln Vitro |
In cell-free and cellular systems, Taurolithocholic acid 3-sulfate disodium exhibits multiple biological activities. In cultured rat hepatocytes, 100 μM of this compound induces activation of caspase-8, caspase-9, and caspase-3, leading to hepatocyte apoptosis as evidenced by PARP cleavage, Annexin-V staining positivity, and TUNEL reaction positivity. The apoptotic effects induced by this compound can be abolished by tauroursodeoxycholate (TUDC), and this protective effect is independent of PI3K/PKB, p38MAPK, and Erk-2 pathways. At the molecular mechanism level, TLCS leads to sustained JNK activation and CD95 trafficking to the plasma membrane, and inhibition of JNK1 or protein kinase C prevents TLCS-induced CD95 membrane trafficking and blunts the apoptotic response. Additionally, this compound has been used to assess the electrophysiological effects of bile acids on pancreatic acinar cells.

| ln Vivo |
In vivo activity of Taurolithocholic acid 3-sulfate disodium is primarily studied using animal models. In cholestasis-related research, this compound, as a representative hydrophobic bile acid, induces intrahepatic cholestasis and hepatocyte apoptosis. Both isolated perfused rat liver models and in vivo bile duct-ligated rat liver models have confirmed that this compound induces CD95-dependent hepatocyte apoptosis involving oxidative stress, EGFR activation, and JNK signaling pathways. Studies demonstrate that the apoptotic potency of this compound correlates with its ability to induce sustained JNK activation. In gallbladder disease research, this compound serves as a GPR39 agonist and can be used to explore the mechanisms of bile acid signaling pathways in gallbladder disease.

| Enzyme Assay |
Binding of Taurolithocholic acid 3-sulfate disodium to the GPR39 receptor can be assessed using cell-based calcium flux assays. A typical protocol: GPR39-expressing cells (e.g., M39-20 cells or hGPR39-2 cells) are seeded in 96-well plates and loaded with a calcium-sensitive dye (e.g., Fluo-4 AM). Varying concentrations of TLCS (0.1-100 μM) are added in the presence or absence of Zn²⁺ (10 μM), and the increase in fluorescence intensity resulting from changes in intracellular calcium concentration is monitored using a fluorescence plate reader to calculate EC₅₀ values. For EGFR phosphorylation detection, cultured rat hepatocytes can be treated with TLCS, and EGFR tyrosine phosphorylation levels are detected by immunoprecipitation and Western blotting.

| Cell Assay |
Taurolithocholic acid 3-sulfate disodium is widely used in cellular assays to study the mechanisms of bile acid-induced hepatocyte apoptosis. A typical protocol: Isolated 24-hour cultured rat hepatocytes are treated with 100 μM TLCS and collected at various time points (0-24 hours). Apoptosis is assessed by PARP cleavage detection via Western blotting; apoptotic cell proportion is quantified by Annexin-V staining and TUNEL reaction using flow cytometry or fluorescence microscopy; activation of the apoptotic pathway is assessed by measuring caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9 activities. For signaling pathway studies, cells can be pretreated with JNK inhibitors (e.g., SP600125) or PKC inhibitors to examine their effects on TLCS-induced CD95 membrane trafficking and apoptosis. Additionally, this compound has been used to investigate the mechanisms underlying the inhibition of bile acid-induced apoptosis by cyclic AMP in rat hepatocytes.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo studies of Taurolithocholic acid 3-sulfate disodium primarily employ rat cholestasis and apoptosis models. A typical protocol: Male Wistar rats (200-250 g) undergo common bile duct cannulation, TLCS is administered via intravenous or biliary routes (dose to be determined based on experimental objectives), bile and blood samples are collected, and liver function indicators (ALT, AST, ALP) and bile flow are measured. In isolated perfused rat liver models, perfusion solution containing TLCS is used to assess bile secretion and hepatocyte injury. For apoptosis studies, animals are euthanized, liver tissues are collected, apoptotic cells are detected by TUNEL staining, and activation of CD95, caspase-8, and caspase-3 is detected by Western blotting. Bile duct-ligated rat models can also be used to study the mechanisms of bile acid-induced hepatocyte apoptosis.
