Quercetin (purity: ≥98%) was purchased from Sigma Chemical Co. (St. Louis, MO), and it was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) for the next experiments. Fetal bovine serum (FBS) and Dulbecco modified Eagle medium (DMEM) were obtained from GIBCO BRL Co. (Gaithersburg, MD, USA). Rabbit antihuman TLR4 antibody was obtained from AMS Biotechnology (Abington, UK), whereas pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC; an NF-κB inhibitor) was purchased from Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology (Nantong, China). The antibodies to TLR4, NF-κB p65, mitochondrial membrane potential-2 (MMP-2), and MMP-9 were obtained from Cell Signaling Technology (Beverly, MA, USA). The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits for tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were purchased from KeyGEN Biotech. Co., LTD. (Nanjing, China). Growth factor-reduced Matrigel was purchased from Becton Dickinson (BD Biosciences, San Jose, USA). 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) was purchased from Sigma Chemical Co.(St. Louis, MO, USA). All other materials were from commercial sources.

ATX (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA, 98% pure) was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO); the DMSO content in every group was 0.1%. Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), a NF-кB inhibitor, was purchased from Beyotime (Jiangsu, China) and used at a concentration of 10 μmol/L. Bumetanide, a NKCC1-specific inhibitor, was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA) and used at a concentration of 50 μmol/L [22 (link)]. Anti-NKCC1, anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and anti-NF-кB/p65 antibodies were purchased from Millipore (Billerica, MA, USA) and Santa Cruz Biotechnology, respectively. Anti-pro caspase 3 antibody was purchased from Abcam (Cambridge, MA, USA). Antibodies against Bcl-2, Bax, cleaved caspase-3, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, β-actin, β-tubulin, and Histone H3 were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA, USA).

Inhibition of NF-κB in Stretched Myoblasts

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Two selective and irreversible NF-κB inhibitors: BAY11-7082 (BAY; Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Jiangsu, China) and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC; Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology) were used in the present study. In order to determine the effects of NF-κB inhibition on the stretched myoblasts, C2C12 cells that underwent 0.125 Hz cyclic strain (10% deformation) for 2 h per day for 4 consecutive days were simultaneously treated with 2.5 µM BAY, 5 µM BAY or 10 µM PDTC. The effects of NF-κB inhibition on stretched C2C12 myoblasts were subsequently detected according to the aforementioned CCK-8 method and FCM analysis at corresponding time points.

Bilateral kidneys were placed in DMEM/F12 culture medium, the envelope was removed, the kidney cortex was separated on ice, and the tissue was collected on a 200 mesh sieve, centrifuged at 1,500 r/min for 5 min, resuspended in 2 mL of complete medium and then inoculated into culture flasks, incubated at 37°C, 5% CO 2 incubator for 5 h [18] . Cell morphology was observed microscopically. Podocytes were identified by immunofluorescent staining for podocalyxin and WT-1. Podocytes were inoculated in culture dishes for 24 h in serum-free culture. Si-PL2R (AAG GCA GTT CTG GAT TGG ATT TAA T) was transfected to the primary podocytes for 24-48 h. Recombinant PLA2G12B protein at the concentration of 100 ng/mL was applied and incubated with podocytes. Subsequently, 10 μmol/L NF-κB inhibitor pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate (Beyotime, S1808) was added. Each group of cells was collected.

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.
