Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To measure MYOD mRNA half-life at day 0 (following transfection of 54-1 cells with siControl #1 or siUPF1 #1), actinomycin D (ActD, Sigma, 2.5μg/mL) was added to cells to inhibit transcription. After 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 and12 hours of ActD treatment, cells were collected with TRIzol (Invitrogen), RNA was extracted, and qPCR was carried out with primers specific to mature MYOD mRNA. To inhibit the 26S proteasome, MG132 (10μM) was added to MB135-Tet-UPF1WT cells 12 hours post-Dox induction. After 8 hours of MG132 treatment, identical numbers of cells were collected in RIPA buffer (Cell Signaling) supplemented with protease inhibitor tablets (Fisher Scientific), protein was extracted, and immunoblots for MYOD were performed. To measure MYOD protein levels in MB135-Tet-UPF1WT or MB135-Tet-UPF1S124A/N138A/T139A cells that were or were not treated with Dox to induce transgenic UPF1 expression, cycloheximide (CHX, 100μg/mL) was added to cells 12 hours post-Dox induction to inhibit translation. After 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours of CHX treatment, identical numbers of cells were collected in RIPA buffer (Cell Signaling) supplemented with protease inhibitor tablets (Fisher Scientific), protein was extracted, and immunoblots for MYOD were performed.

Biomechanical Analysis of Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Axial biomechanics are reflective of physiological loading and were used to evaluate NP pressurization, AF tension, and IVD laxity. Creep is known to be sensitive to alterations in short and long-time viscoelastic behaviors. Axial and creep testing used an ElectroForce 3200 instrument (TA Instruments, New Castle, DE). Samples were hydrated in PBS with protease inhibitor tablets (ThermoScientific, Rockford, IL). Motion segments underwent 20 cycles ±8N of tension-compression at 1Hz followed by 60 minutes of compressive creep at −8N and 30 minutes of unloaded rehydration. Compressive stiffness, tensile stiffness, axial range of motion, and axial hysteresis were calculated from the 20th cycle in MATLAB (Figure 3B). Three independent reviewers manually calculated neutral zone (NZ) length and stiffness. Samples with undetectable NZ were excluded from NZ stiffness analysis. Creep was analyzed with MATLAB code measuring total displacement and applying a 5-parameter viscoelastic solid model to calculate elastic response (Se), fast response (τ1 and S1), and slow response (τ2 and S2) time constant and stiffness parameters, respectively (39 (link)) (Figure 3C).

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.
