Quinoyl-valyl-O-methylaspartyl-(2,6-difluoro-phenoxy)-methyl ketone or Q-VD-OPh, everolimus, propidium iodide (PI), cycloheximide (CHX) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Saint-Quentin Fallavier, France), LY294002 from Biomol (Hamburg, Germany), bortezomib from Selleckchem (Houston, TX), MG-132 from Calbiochem (Gibbstown, NJ), DZNep from Cayman Chemical, (Ann Arbor, MI). Drugs were dissolved in ethanol (EtOH) or DMSO to obtain stock solutions (10–50 mM) and were diluted in serum-free culture medium before use. For control experiments using drugs, ethanol (EtOH) or dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) were added as vehicles at the same concentration. For in vivo experiments, DZNep was dissolved in 10% D-mannitol (Sigma-Aldrich), then diluted at the appropriate concentration in PBS to reach 0.1% D-mannitol for i.p mice injections.
The following antibodies (Abs) were used in the study: anti-β-actin (sc-47778), anti-caspase 3 (sc-7148), and anti-caspase 8 (sc-7890) from Santa Cruz Biotechnologies (Santa Cruz, CA); anti-caspase 9 (#9508), anti-poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase or PARP (#9542) and anti-EZH2 (#3147) from Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA); anti-B-cell lymphoma 2 or BCL2 (110887) from Dako (Courtaboeuf, France), anti-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphodeshydrogenase (GAPDH, #4300) from Applied Biosystems/Ambion (Austin, TX) and anti-H3K27me3 (mAb6002) from Abcam (Paris, France).

Blastocyst-derived rat TS cells15 (link) were cultured in basal culture medium (RPMI 1640 (Cellgro), 20% fetal bovine serum (Sigma-Aldrich), 100 µM 2-mercaptoethanol (M7522; Sigma-Aldrich), 1 mM sodium pyruvate (ThermoFisher, 11 360–070), 50 µM penicillin (15140122; ThermoFisher), and 50 U/mL streptomycin (15140122; ThermoFisher)) supplemented with 70% rat embryonic fibroblast-conditioned medium, fibroblast growth factor 4 (25 ng/mL; Sigma-Aldrich), and heparin (1 µg/mL; Sigma-Aldrich). To model hyperglycemia, 25 mM glucose (Sigma-Aldrich) was added to the culture medium. D-mannitol (Sigma-Aldrich) was added to the culture medium to control for osmolality. Rat TS cells were exposed to ambient or low oxygen (0.5% or 1.5% O2) tensions and 5% CO2 at 37°C in an NAPCO 8000 incubator (ThermoFisher) for 24 hours and then harvested for immunocytochemical or biochemical analyses.

Antioxidant Effects on Biofilm Electrocidal

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Biofilms were grown on discs in the presence and absence of antioxidants. Standard phosphate flow buffer or buffer supplemented with antioxidant was used. Catalase from bovine liver (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) was reconstituted in potassium phosphate buffer. The free radical scavengers D-mannitol (Sigma) and Tempol (Sigma) were reconstituted in water. Catalase was placed into the flow buffer at a final concentration of either 200 or 500 U/ml. D-mannitol was placed into the flow buffer at a final concentration of 20 or 50 mM and Tempol was placed into the flow buffer at a concentration of 1 mM. Additionally, biofilms were grown on a set of discs in TSB supplemented with 500 U/ml of catalase, 20 mM of mannitol, or 5 or 10 mM of Tempol. The discs were exposed to 20 or 200 μA DC or no current for 24 hours using a 3% phosphate buffer with or without antioxidant. The LRF from samples supplemented with antioxidants was subtracted from the LRF from samples with no antioxidant supplementation; a positive number indicates protection against the electricidal effect with a >0.5 change in the LRF considered protective.

HEL proteins were desalted into conjugation buffer (0.35 M D-mannitol [Sigma] and 0.01 M sodium chloride [Sigma]) using PD-10 columns (Amersham) as described previously (38 (link), 70 (link)). For conjugation, SRBCs were washed three times in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and once in conjugation buffer as described previously (38 (link)). SRBCs were then resuspended in a final volume of 1 mL conjugation buffer containing 10 µg/mL. The solution was mixed on a platform rocker on ice for 10 min. One hundred microliters of 100 mg/mL N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N-ethylcarbodimide hydrochloride (Sigma) was then added and the solution was mixed for a further 30 min on ice. SRBCs were then washed four times in PBS. Confirmation of successful conjugation was performed by flow-cytometric analysis of SRBCs using Alexa Fluor 647-conjugated Hy9 antibody. A total of 2 × 108 conjugated or unconjugated SRBCs were i.v. injected into each chimeric mouse.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
