Product Data
Biological target:
Phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (Phorbol dibutyrate) is a PKC activator and a potent skin tumor promoter.
In vitro activity:
This study determined the effects of PDBu (10(-7) M), the PKC activator, on PKCα and RhoA and ROCK II translocation in the human IAS SMCs. PDBu caused significant translocation of PKCα, RhoA, and ROCK II. PDBu-induced translocation of PKCα was attenuated by calphostin C and not by C3 exoenzyme and Y 27632. However, PDBu-induced translocation of RhoA was blocked by C3 exoenzyme, and that of ROCK II was attenuated by both C3 exoenzyme and Y 27632. Reference: Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol. 2011 Aug;301(2):G317-25. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21566015/
In vivo activity:
To explore the role of protein kinase C (PKC) in the augmented bronchial smooth muscle (BSM) contraction observed in the antigen-induced airway hyperresponsive (AHR) mice, the effects of a PKC activator, phorbol 12,13-dibutylate (PDBu), on BSM contraction were compared between the AHR and control mice. Actively sensitized mice were repeatedly challenged by antigen inhalation. In BSMs of control mice, PDBu caused a significant increase in tension when the tissues were precontracted with high K(+), although PDBu itself had no effect on basal tone. The PDBu-mediated contraction was markedly augmented in BSMs of the AHR mice. Reference: J Smooth Muscle Res. 2010;46(5):259-66. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21187674/
