Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The 3T3-L1 fibroblasts were seeded on coated Poly-L-lysine (PLL) (Sigma-Aldrich) dishes and differentiated. Mature 3T3-L1 adipocytes were washed twice with warm Krebs–Ringer–phosphate–HEPES (KRPH) buffer (20 mmol/L HEPES, 5 mmol/L KH2PO4, 1 mmol/L CaCl2, 136 mmol/L NaCl, and 4.7 mmol/L KCl set at pH 7.4 with NaOH) containing either 1 or 0 mmol/L Mg2+. Cells were incubated without or with 10 nmol/L human insulin (Sigma-Aldrich) and 0 or 1 mmol/L Mg2+ for 0, 10, 20 or 30 minutes at 37°C in radioactive buffer containing 5 mmol/L 2-deoxyglucose (2DG) (Sigma-Aldrich) and 1 μCi 3H-2DG (PerkinElmer, Hoogvliet Rotterdam, the Netherlands). The incubation was stopped by washing with cold KRPH buffer and cells were lysed with 0.05% (w/v) SDS (MP Biomedicals) in dH2O. Cell lysates were added to Opti-Fluor O scintillation liquid (PerkinElmer) and counted using the Hidex 600 SL. Radioactive counts were corrected for the background count in each of the incubation buffers. The assay was repeated without the addition of 3H-2DG to correct for protein concentrations using the bicinchoninic acid (BCA) assay (Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to the manufacturer’s protocol.

Reverse Zymography for Low-Molecular-Weight Peptides

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Reverse zymography [63 (link)] was performed using SDS-PAGE with a Tris-tricine buffer system for low molecular weight peptides [64 (link)]. An 18% polyacrylamide gel (Fisher Scientific) was co-polymerized with 0.1% (w/v) gelatin, 0.75 M Tris-HCl (pH 8.4) (Fisher Scientific) and 0.1% (w/v) SDS (MP Biomedicals) and run at a constant current of 75 V. Due to the very low molecular weight of the SFTI peptide (approx. 1.5 kDa), the 10 × 8 × 0.075 cm gel was only run ~½ of the gel length and immediately washed with 2.5% Triton X-100 (Sigma Aldrich) to remove SDS, washed with water and then digested with trypsin-containing buffer ((4.5 mg/ml trypsin in 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.6, 200 mM NaCl (Fisher Scientific), 10 mM CaCl2, 0.02% (w/v) Brij-35 (Fisher Scientific)) for 3 h and then stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue R250 (Protea Biosciences; Morgantown, WV).

Cultivation and Stress Response Assays for F. graminearum

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The wild-type strain PH-1, ectopic transformant, and Δgil1 mutant strains of F. graminearum were routinely cultured on potato dextrose agar (PDA), complete medium (CM), or 5× YEG plates at 25 °C as described [42 (link),43 (link)]. Protoplast preparation and PEG (polyethylene glycerol)-mediated transformation of F. graminearum were performed as described [5 (link),42 (link)]. To test response against various stresses, vegetative growth was assayed on CM plates with 0.7 M NaCl NaCl (Guangdong Guanghua Sci-Tech Co., Ltd., Shantou, China), 0.01% (w/v) SDS (MP Biomedicals, LLC, Solon, OH, USA), or 300 μg/mL Congo Red (SIGMA-ALDRICH Co., St. Louis, MO, USA) [13 (link),21 (link)].

Tau and MAP2 Aggregation Kinetics

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Seeds (1% monomer molar equivalents of htau40 and 10% monomer equivalents of K18) were mixed with 10 μM K18 or htau40 monomer, 20 μM heparin, 0.5 to 1 mM TCEP and assembly buffer, and allowed to incubate quiescently at 37 °C for either 6 h (K18) or 21 h (htau40). Experiments probing the blockage of htau40 elongation included 10 μM 3R or 4R MAP2. Experiments probing the inhibition of K18 elongation included varying concentrations of 3R MAP2 (12.5 nM-25 μM) and 4R MAP2 (12.5 nM-15 μM) as specified in the result section. After incubation, the samples were centrifuged for 30 min at 130,000g. The pellets were separated from supernatants, volumes adjusted with sample buffer (62.5 mM TRIS pH 6.5 (Sigma), 4% SDS (J.T. Baker), 10% sucrose (MP Biomedicals), 5% 2-Mercaptoethanol, 1.5 mM Bromophenol Blue (Sigma)), and then boiled for 5 min. Equal amounts of samples were analyzed by SDS-PAGE (14–16%) and Coomassie staining. Band intensities were quantified by Image J. IC50 values were computed by applying the four-parameter nonlinear regression model in GraphPad Prism 9.

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.
