Product Data:
Biological target: ITE is a potent endogenous agonist of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), binding directly to AHR, with a Ki of 3 nM. ITE also has immunosuppressive activity.
In vitro activity: While NICD1 was barely detectable in MCF7 and MDA-MB-436, ITE significantly reduced NICD1 protein levels in MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-157 cells (Fig. 3B). Thus, these data indicate for the first time that in TNBC cells, ITE reduces JAG1 expression and NICD1 signaling. Reference: J Am Heart Assoc. 2021 Jul 6;10(13):e020502. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32032581/
In vivo activity: An increased number of Tregs in the infarcted myocardium was observed in ITE‐treated mice compared with control mice at 5 days after MI (Figure 2D). Collectively, the results show that ITE treatment increases the Foxp3+ Treg populations in the lymph nodes, spleen, and infarcted myocardium.
