U2-OS Cells were inoculated in a 96-well (5×103 cells/well) and were incubated for 24 h, and then transfected with 200 ng TOP-Flash/FOP-Flash (Millipore, MA, USA), and 20 ng pRL-TK vector expressing Renilla luciferase (Promega, WI USA) following the recommended protocol using Lipofectamine 3000 (Thermo Scientific, MA, USA) for another 24 h. Subsequently, the assays were divided into four groups: resveratrol (0, 6 or 12 μg/ml resveratrol for 24 h), CHIR-99021 (inhibitor of GSK-3α/β, Selleck, TX, USA) + resveratrol (the cells were pretreated with 10 μm CHIR-99021 for 24 h to activate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway); lentivirus infection (shCx43, NTC and Blank), and lentivirus infection + XAV939 [(inhibitor of β-catenin, Selleck, TX, USA), the cells were treated with 10 μm XAV939 for 24 h to suppress the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway]. The OD values of the TOP flash and the FOP flash were detected by a dual-luciferase reporter assay system (Promega, WI, USA) from cell lysates, and the TOP/FOP ratio reflected the activity of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Chronic cystitis was induced by systemic intraperitoneal injection of 150 mg/kg of cyclophosphamide (CYP) for 4 consecutive days, based on a previous report [17 (link)]. CYP was dissolved in 0.9% NaCl. Control mice received 0.9% NaCl at the same time. Mice in the model + lenti-NC and model + lenti-Serpina3n groups were intravenously administered with lentiviral particles of lenti-NC and lenti-Serpina3n (5 × 107 pfu per mouse; cat no. MR206624L2V, Origene, Beijing, China) for 3 days prior to cystitis induction, respectively. The model + OE-Serpina3n + XAV-939 group received intraperitoneal injection of XAV-939 (2.5 mg/kg, Selleck Chem, Shanghai, China), an inhibitor of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, once daily for three times with an interval of 6 h of lentivirus vectors.

P2 tdTomato + cells were seeded at a density of 2000 cells per well into 24-well culture plates and left undisturbed for the first 2 days. Then, the growth medium was changed every other day with or without Wnt inhibitor (XAV939) supplementation (1.0 µM, S1180, Selleck, Houston, TX, United States). XAV939 was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) according to manufacturer’s recommendations and used in in vitro experiments, and the control group was treated with the same DMSO concentration. After 7 days, the culture plates were stained with a mixture of 0.1% toluidine blue and 2% paraformaldehyde. Colonies with >1 mm diameter were counted as a single colony cluster.

Embryo were obtained by natural mating and cultured in 0.1x MBS to desired stages as described previously30 (link). For in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry, embryos were fixed at desired stages and processed as described63 . MO 13-3, the antisense MO for ADAM13, was synthesized by Gene Tools, and the sequence was reported previously30 (link). For MO injections, 8-cell stage snai2:eGFP embryos were injected in a single dorsal-animal blastomere with 1.5 ng MO 13-3 using a PLI-100A microinjector (Harvard Apparatus), and Alexa Fluor 555 dextran (Invitrogen) was co-injected as a lineage tracer. For Wnt inhibitor treatment, embryos were cultured in XAV939 or IWR1-endo (both were from Selleckchem) from stage ~28 to ~35. Snai2-eGFP or Wnt reporter transgenic tadpoles were washed three times and subsequently cultured in 0.1x MBS until stage ~44 or ~47 (Fig. 6); wild-type tadpoles were immediately fixed and processed for in situ hybridization for snai2 or sox9 (Fig. 7A,B). For inhibition of Wnt target gene expression, 2-cell stage wild-type embryos were injected in one blastomere with 50 pg mRNA encoding EnR-LefΔN-GR755A, and cultured to stage ~28, when 10 mM DEX (Sigma-Aldrich D4902) or DMSO was added. Embryos were further cultured to stage ~35, fixed, and processed for in situ hybridization for snai2 or sox9.

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.
