    Default TB 500 - Thymosin beta-4

    Thymosin beta-4 is a protein originally discovered as an isolate from the mammalian thymus gland1. It is one of a family of thymosins, which are low-weight acidic molecules that can act as cytopoietics. This means that they can control the movement and/or differentiation of cells by neutralizing the ability of individual actin proteins (or monomers) to polymerize into filaments2. On the other hand, thymosins also aggregate the actin monomers, thus allowing or preventing the formation of subsequent filaments2. At a certain scale, this may promote or prevent the differentiation of a cell such as a pluripotent stem cell into another, such as an osteocyte or a neural cell. Therefore, molecules such as thymosins (of which thymosin beta-4 is the most common in mammals3) may play a significant role in postnatal development or the regeneration of some tissues. The influence of thymosin beta-4 over actin may also control cellular migration and angiogenesis4. It follows, therefore, that the protein also has potential as an agent of wound repair. Thymosin beta-4 is available as a synthetic, laboratory-grade peptide known as TB500*i. Its molecular weight is just over 4.9kDa, and it is supplied as a white solid i.

    TB500 also has anti-inflammatory properties. It has demonstrated the ability to attenuate the release of NO and prostaglandin E4 in cellular models of reactive oxygen species (ROS) exposure5. However, it may also upregulate pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNFalpha and several interleukins (e.g. IL-6 and -8) in periodontal cells5. As these molecules are also osteoclastogenic5, it implies an additional role for TB500 in the regulation of bone formation. The peptide also inhibited the activation of NFkappaB in murine macrophages in this study5. TB500 also concerns the release of acSDKP, an anti-inflammatory peptide fragment. This fragment is in fact a breakdown product of TB500, but this metabolism is regulated by a number of interesting factors6. The co-incubation of TB500 with homogenated rodent kidney tissue resulted in a significant increase in the release of acSDKP7. This is controlled by a complex regulatory mechanism which involves peptidases that only cleave molecules of specific fragments, necessitating the hydrolysis of TB500 by meprin-alpha before acSDKP may be cleaved from it7. TB500 may also be of interest to researchers studying the fibrosis of various organs8. One group has recently published results that indicate significant decreases of inflammation in a mouse model of pulmonary fibrosis9. acSDKP has been shown to decrease renal fibrosis in mice, in that treatment with the fragment resulted in the reduced deposition of fibronectin and collagen (i.e. major components of scar tissue) and the reduced migration of macrophages and myofibroblasts to a site of damage6. The up-regulation of thymosin beta-4 is also associated with the activation of hepatic stellate cells, which appear to co-localize to alpha-smooth muscle actin (a marker of chronic liver damage as observed in mouse models of the same)10.

    In general, TB500 is a peptide involved in complex regulatory and developmental processes in vivo. It appears to be a viable component of the control of tissue regeneration, cell differentiation and inflammation. Therefore, B500 may be applied to models of disorders such as abnormal fibrosis, osteolytic inflammation (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis) and various states of postnatal development.

    Yea I've had really good experiences with it. Now when my elbow starts to flare up I just take a shot or 2 and light rest and don't miss much or any time in the gym
