Neoeriocitrin (2-20 μg/mL; 72 h) can dose dependently regulate MC3T3-E1 cell proliferation [1].
Neoeriocitrin (2-20 μg/mL; 5 days) can dose dependently increase ALP activity in MC3T3-E1 cells [1].
Neoeriocitrin (2 μg/mL; 4-8 days) can upregulate the expression of osteogenic marker genes Runx2, COL I, and OCN in MC3T3-E1 cells [1].
Neoeriocitrin (2 μg/mL; 5 days) can partially reverse the inhibitory effect of PD98059 on ALP activity in MC3T3-E1 cells [1].
Neoeriocitrin (2 μg/mL; 4-8 days) can partially reverse the downregulation of COL I and OCN mRNA expression induced by PD98059 in MC3T3-E1 cells [1].
Neoeriocitrin (2.5-200 μM; 1-14 days) can significantly and continuously promote the proliferation of human dental pulp stem cells [2].
Neoeriocitrin (2.5-10 μM; 7-21 days) has the strongest promoting effect on osteogenic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells, which can be verified by increased expression levels of osteogenic genes and proteins, enhanced alkaline phosphatase activity, and increased mineralization degree [2].
Neoeriocitrin (100 μM; 1 h) can directly bind to Beclin1 in human dental pulp stem cells, as confirmed by the increased thermal stability of Beclin1 in thermal proteomic analysis [2].
Neoeriocitrin (2.5-10 μM; 48 h) can induce autophagy in human dental pulp stem cells. This conclusion is validated by the following indicators: decreased P62 levels, increased LC3-II/I ratio, enhanced autophagosome formation, and increased number of autophagosomes detected by transmission electron microscopy [2].
The process of inducing autophagy and osteogenic differentiation in human dental pulp stem cells by Neoeriocitrin (5 μM) requires Beclin1 as a key mediator, as knocking down Beclin1 weakens this effect, while overexpression of Beclin1 enhances the effect of Neoeriocitrin [2].
Neoeriocitrin (5 μM; 3-12 h) stabilizes Beclin1 protein in human dental pulp stem cells by inhibiting ubiquitin mediated proteasomal degradation, thereby prolonging the half-life of Beclin1 [2].
Neoeriocitrin (6×104 μM; Pre incubation for 2 hours and co incubation with A β 25-35 for 22 hours can protect PC12 cells damaged by A β 25-35 by reducing cell apoptosis, upregulating ER β expression, inhibiting P38 protein phosphorylation, and improving cholinergic system function.
