Deoxycholic acid

Catalog No. T2965   CAS 83-44-3
Synonyms: Cholorebic, Deoxycholate, Desoxycholic acid, Cholanoic Acid, Cholerebic

Deoxycholic acid (Cholanoic Acid) is a bile acid formed by bacterial action from cholate. It is usually conjugated with glycine or taurine. Deoxycholic acid acts as a detergent to solubilize fats for intestinal absorption, is reabsorbed itself, and is used as a choleretic and detergent.

Deoxycholic acid, CAS 83-44-3
Description Deoxycholic acid (Cholanoic Acid) is a bile acid formed by bacterial action from cholate. It is usually conjugated with glycine or taurine. Deoxycholic acid acts as a detergent to solubilize fats for intestinal absorption, is reabsorbed itself, and is used as a choleretic and detergent.
In vitro Deoxycholic acid inhibits miR-21 expression in primary rat hepatocytes in a dose-dependent manner, and increases miR-21 pro-apoptotic target programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4) and apoptosis. Deoxycholic acid decreases NF-κB activity, shown to represent an upstream mechanism leading to modulation of the miR-21/PDCD4 pathway[1].
In vivo miR-21 expression is down-regulated upon short exposures to Deoxycholic acid, as is the downstream pathway, with concomitant PIDD processing and activation of caspase-2, which contributes to DCA-induced liver damage[1].
Cell Research Primary rat hepatocytes were isolated from male rats (100 to 150 g) by collagenase perfusion. After isolation, hepatocytes were resuspended in complete Williams E medium and plated on BD Primaria™ culture dishes at 5 × 104 cells/cm2. Cells are kept at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 for 4-6 h to allow attachment. Plates are then washed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) 1× in order to remove dead cells and incubated in Williams E medium supplemented with 25 to 200 μM DCA or no addition (control) for 24 h. Primary rat hepatocytes are processed for total RNA and protein isolation, cell viability, cytotoxicity and caspase activity assays and Hoechst staining. (Only for Reference)
