Doxycycline, an antibiotic, is an orally active and broad-spectrum metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitor[1]. Doxycycline shows antibacterial activity and anti-cancer cell proliferation activity[1][2][3][4][5].
In Vitro:Doxycycline (0.01-10 μg/mL, 4 d) affects growth of glioma cells only under high concentrations[2].
Doxycycline (0.01-10 μg/mL, 24 h) decreases MT-CO1 protein content with concentrations of 1 μg/mL and higher in SVG cells[2].
Doxycycline (100 ng/mL, 1 μg/mL; 24 h) reduces proliferation of human cell lines[4].
Doxycycline (0-250 μM, 72 h) inhibits cell viability of breast cancer cells [5].
In Vivo:Note:
Please do not refer to only one article to determine the experimental conditions. It is recommended to determine the optimal experimental conditions (animal strain, age, dosage, frequency and cycle, detection time and indicators, etc.) through preliminary experiments before the formal experiment.
Doxycycline (oral gavage; 200 or 800 mg/kg; once daily; 3 months) reduces MMP-9 activity in untreated HT mice in a dose-dependent manner[3].
Doxycycline and Tetracycline (HY-A0107), act systemically after absorption from the upper gastrointestinal tract. The main advantage of Doxycycline over Tetracycline is its longer activity, and it can be taken twice or once a day. The peak concentration of both agents is similar, but in the case of Doxycycline the time to peak concentration is shorter, and half life is significantly longer[6].
Doxycycline (Dox) is often used as an inducer in molecular biology studies to induce gene expression. In cells or model animals that have constructed tetracycline induced expression systems (Tet-On/Tet-Off systems), the expression of target genes can be precisely controlled by adding or removing Dox[7][8].
Dose reference for Dox induction[7][8]:
(1) Model animal: male Sprague-Dawley rats
Tet regulatory system: 20-3000 ppm of Dox is supplied in diet.
(2) Model animal: Cags mice
Tet regulatory system: 625 ppm of Dox is supplied in diet.
Induction of Modeling ON-OFF System (Gene expression regulation)[6][7][8]
Background
Doxycycline is often used as an inducer in molecular biology research to induce gene expression. In cells or model animals that have constructed a Tetracycline (Tet; HY-A0107) inducible expression (Tet-ON/Tet-OFF) system, the expression of the target gene can be precisely controlled by adding or removing Doxycycline. Doxycycline can act as an inhibitor of transcriptional activation in the Tetracycline (Tc)-controlled transactivation (tTA) system, and as an inducer of transcriptional activation in the "reverse tTA' system. Doxycycline and Tetracycline both act systemically after being absorbed by the upper gastrointestinal tract. In comparison, the main advantage of Doxycycline is that it has a longer activity and can be taken twice or once a day. Although the peak concentrations of the two are similar, Doxycycline takes a shorter time to reach peak concentration and has a significantly longer half-life.
Specific Modeling Methods
Rat[8]: Sprague-Dawley rats • male • adult middle-aged (12-month-old)
Administration: (for GDNF as targeted gene) 3g/kg (dietary with regular food) • po • once daily for 6 days
Note
(1) Recommend use the recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV)-based bicistronic tetracycline (tet)-OFF construct was used for dynamic control of GDNF (target gene) expression during long-term expression[7].
(2) 3 g/kg dietary DOX produced DOX serum levels equivalent to 1mg/ml DOX in drinking water.
Modeling Indicators
Molecular changes: The expression level of the target gene decreases.
Phenotype changes: The positively correlated phenotype corresponding to the target gene is alleviated.
