Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA sulfate; Prasterone sulfate) sodium salt is a neurosteroid and the main secretion product of the adrenal gland. Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate sodium salt has both non-competitive antagonist activity of GABAA receptor and agonist activity of σ1 receptor. Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate sodium salt can partially penetrate the blood-brain barrier, inhibit GABAA receptor-mediated chloride influx, enhance NMDA receptor activity through σ1 receptors, exert anti-inflammatory, anti-glucocorticoid and antidepressant effects, and increase convulsive sensitivity. Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate sodium salt participates in neuroprotection, neurite growth regulation and catecholamine secretion regulation, and can be used in the study of depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Alzheimer's disease, etc. Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate sodium salt may also be a biomarker for cardiovascular disease mortality, and its concentration is independently and negatively correlated with mortality.

Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate sodium salt (0.1 nM-10 μM; 2-24 h) increases neuronal survival in embryonic rat cortical cell hypoxia assay, with significant effects at 10 μM[1]. Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate sodium salt (0.1-10 μM) protects neurons in rat cerebellar granule cell oxygen-glucose deprivation assay in a dose-dependent manner, with almost complete protection at 10 μM[1]. Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate sodium salt (DHEAS) (1 μM-1 mM; 48 h) inhibits TNF-α-induced VCAM-1, IL-8, and ICAM-1 expression in human aortic endothelial cell inflammation assay, and inhibits NF-κB activity via activation of PPARα[5]. Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate sodium salt (DHEAS) (10-7-10-5 M; 96 h) inhibits LIF-induced proliferation of juvenile bovine chromaffin cells and enhances EGF-induced proliferation of adult bovine chromaffin cells in a proliferation assay[6].

Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate sodium Related Antibodies
Did not affect basal proliferation but inhibited LIF-induced proliferation by 30% at 10-5 M. In adult cells, enhanced EGF-induced proliferation by 25% at 10-5 M, without effect at lower concentrations.
In Vivo
Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) (1 mg/kg; intravenous injection; single dose) sodium salt reduces the threshold shift of compound action potentials and the amplitude of distortion product otoacoustic emissions in the noise-induced cochlear injury model of albino guinea pigs, and has a protective effect on the cochlea[7]. Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) (converted from 2 mg/kg Dehydroepiandrosterone intraperitoneally; once daily; 13 days) can shorten the immobility time in the forced swim test in the male FSL rat model of depression, but when used in combination with electroconvulsive shock (ECS), it offsets the antidepressant effect of ECS[8].
Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) (10 mg/kg; subcutaneous injection; once daily; 4 weeks) sodium salt enhances the seizure sensitivity of Laka mice in the pentylenetetrazol-induced seizure model, as shown by a decrease in the half effective dose of seizure (ED50 from 67.6 mg/kg to 48.6 mg/kg) and a shortens seizure latency, an effect that is reversed by Progesterone (HY-N0437) or Dizocilpine (HY-15084B)[9]. Chronic treatment with Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate sodium salt for 4 weeks significantly reduces the body weight of mice in the pentylenetetrazol-induced seizure model[9].

Animal Model:
Albino Guinea Pig Noise-Induced Cochlear Injury Model (250-350 g): 2 kHz pure tone (120-125 dB SPL for 10 min) induced cochlear injury[7]
Dosage:
1 mg/kg Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate
Administration:
Intravenous injection, single dose immediately before acoustic overexposure
Result:
Significantly improved cochlear function 1 week after acoustic exposure, reducing CAP threshold shifts and increasing DPOAE amplitude compared to control groups. The protective effect was observed at 1 mg/kg but not at 0.1 mg/kg, with no significant effect immediately after exposure.
Animal Model:
Flinder Sensitive Line (FSL) Rat Model of Depression (male, 200-220 g, 6-8 weeks old): forced swim test (FST) assay[8]
Dosage:
2 mg/kg Dehydroepiandrosterone (converted to Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate)
Administration:
Intraperitoneal injection, daily for 13 days
Result:
Chronic Dehydroepiandrosterone administration (converted to Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate) alone reduced immobility time in FST, mimicking antidepressant effects. However, combined treatment with electroconvulsive shock (ECS) abolished this effect, with immobility time significantly increased compared to DHEA or ECS alone, indicating DHEAS may antagonize ECS efficacy.
Animal Model:
Mouse Pentylenetetrazol-Induced Seizure Model (20-25 g): Pentylenetetrazol-induced tonic convulsions[9]
Dosage:
10 mg/kg Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate
Administration:
Subcutaneous injection, daily for 4 weeks
Result:
Chronic treatment shifted pentylenetetrazol dose-response curves leftward, reducing ED50 for convulsions and shortening latency to seizure onset, indicating enhanced seizure sensitivity. This proconvulsant effect was prevented by co-treatment with progesterone or dizocilpine, linking it to GABAA receptor antagonism and NMDA receptor activation.

*Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (sealed storage, away from moisture). When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.

Note: If you choose water as the stock solution, please dilute it to the working solution,
then filter and sterilize it with a 0.22 μm filter before use.
For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day. The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μLDMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate sodium Related Classifications
Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
