1,2-dioctanoylglycerol (diC8)

12/01/2005 - "Using isolated adult rat ventricular myocytes, we found that addition of 1,2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycerol (DOG), to activate PKC under conditions that reduced myocyte death associated with simulated ischemia and reperfusion, also reduced SR Ca2+. Cell death was 57.9 +/- 2.9% and 47.3 +/- 1.8% in untreated and DOG-treated myocytes, respectively (P < 0.05). "
03/09/1998 - "The aim of this study was to investigate whether treatment with the protein kinase C (PKC) agonist 1,2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycerol (1,2DOG) can protect isolated adult Wistar rat cardiomyocytes against simulated ischemia and reoxygenation. "
07/01/1998 - "Since diacylglycerol is the endogenous activator of PKC and as such might be expected cardioprotective, we have investigated whether: (i) the diacylglycerol analog 1,2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycerol (DOG) can protect against injury during ischemia and reperfusion; (ii) any effect is mediated via PKC activation; and (iii) the outcome is influenced by the time of administration. "
08/18/2000 - "Before 20 minutes of global ischemia, Langendorff-perfused rat hearts were perfused for 20 minutes (control); preconditioned with 4 cycles of 5-minute ischemia and 5-minute reflow (PC); treated with either wortmannin (WM) or LY 294002 (LY), each of which is a PI3-kinase inhibitor, for 5 minutes before and throughout PC; treated with 1,2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycerol (DOG), an activator of PKC for 10 minutes (DOG); treated identically to the DOG group except with WM added 10 minutes before and during perfusion with DOG; or treated with either WM or LY for 25 minutes. "

08/15/1989 - "Their ability to compete with 3H-labelled phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate [( 3H]PDBu) for specific binding sites in intact A549 human-derived lung carcinoma cells and in a cytosolic cell extract was compared with that of diC8 and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). "
02/15/2010 - "In this study, we demonstrate that protein kinase C (PKC) activators, including phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA), 1,2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycerol (DOG), and platelet-derived growth factor alpha are potent inducers of angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) expression in several normal lung cell types and carcinoma cell lines. "
01/15/1989 - "Phorbol esters such as 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) inhibit the growth of A549 human lung carcinoma cells at non-toxic concentrations, whereas 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol and 1,2-dioctanoylglycerol, synthetic analogues of the physiological ligands of protein kinase C (PKC), do not. "

03/01/1989 - "The present study compared the role of two protein kinase C (PK-C) activating agents, the phorbol ester phorbol-12-acetate-13-myristate (PMA) and the membrane-permeating diacylglycerol dioctanoyl-sn-glycerol (DiC8) in the activation of EL4/6.1 thymoma cells. "

03/01/1990 - "Treatment of M5076 tumor cells with the phorbol estes 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) and phorbol 12,13 dibutyrate (PdBu) inhibited cellular proliferation, whereas 1,2-dioctanoyl-glycerol (DiC8) and 1-oleoyl2-acetyl-glycerol (OAG) did not affect cell growth. "
03/01/1987 - "The tumor-promoting phorbol ester 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) and dioctanoylglycerol (diC8) both directly activate protein kinase C and in this report were shown to stimulate 32Pi incorporation into PC but not into Pl. "
07/15/1992 - "This enhancement absolutely requires the presence of a membrane-permeant diacylglycerol, 1,2-dioctanoylglycerol, or a tumor-promoting phorbol ester, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. "
07/01/1991 - "The tumor-promoting phorbol ester, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), and diacylglycerol analogs, 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol (OAG) and 1,2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycerol (DOG), also stimulated LH release; however, only PMA (and not cLHRH or DOG) promoted an accumulation of cAMP. "
02/10/1985 - "The cell-permeable diacylglycerol, sn-1,2-dioctanoylglycerol (DiC8), is shown to mimic the effect of tumor promoting phorbol diesters on epidermal growth factor (EGF) binding and action in intact cells. "

02/10/1985 - "This result indicates that DiC8 will mimic the long-term effects of PMA to regulate mitogenesis and raises the possibility that it may be active in two stage carcinogenesis. "
