Functional Studies - Betulinic acid, TGR5 agonist (AB120654)
ab32557 staining p38 (phospho T180 + Y182) in MALME-3M cells treated with betulinic acid (ab120654), by ICC/IF. Increase in expression of p38 (phospho T180 + Y182) correlates with increased concentration of betulinic acid, as described in literature.
The cells were incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes in media containing different concentrations of ab120654 (betulinic acid ) in DMSO, fixed with 4% formaldehyde for 10 minutes at room temperature and blocked with PBS containing 10% goat serum, 0.3 M glycine, 1% BSA and 0.1% tween for 2h at room temperature. Staining of the treated cells with ab32557 (1/200 dilution) was performed overnight at 4°C in PBS containing 1% BSA and 0.1% tween. A DyLight 488 goat anti-rabbit polyclonal antibody (ab96899) at 1/250 dilution was used as the secondary antibody. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI and are shown in blue.

Biological function summary
DNA polymerase beta contributes to the maintenance of genome integrity by filling in small gaps left after DNA repair. It works as part of a repair complex ensuring proper function and stability of genetic information. Interferon gamma plays a critical role in immune response regulation and cellular communication. LXRα is involved in lipid metabolism and serves as an important regulator for genes managing cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism. UBE2I/UBC9 is essential for protein post-translational modification influencing protein activity stability and localization.
Pathways
DNA polymerase beta is significantly integrated within the base excision repair pathway which is important for correcting DNA damage from oxidative stress alongside proteins like AP endonuclease. Interferon gamma is a major participant in the JAK-STAT signaling pathway interacting with proteins such as STAT1 to mediate immune responses. LXRα is part of the lipid metabolism pathway closely related to ATP-binding cassette transporters. UBE2I is implicated in sumoylation pathways affecting pathways for protein degradation and cellular response to stress.
