Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Urinary bladder tissues were incubated with phosphodiesterase inhibitors (IBMX 5 µM, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) for 30 min and treated with betulinic acid (5 µM) for another 1 h. Sample lysates were collected, and intracellular cAMP levels were measured using a cAMP Assay Kit (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA). Differences between treatment with betulinic acid or no treatment were indicated as the cAMP levels increased in each group.

CD4+ T cells from spleens and lymph nodes of naive mice were purified by magnetic separation (Miltenyi Biotec, Germany). T cells were activated by plate-bound anti-CD3 (clone 145-TC11, 5μg/ml; BioXcell) in RPMI medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 2mM L-glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin, 100μg/ml streptomycin, and 50μM 2-β-mercaptoethanol, Hepes and Na pyruvate. For Th17 differentiation, cells were cultured in the presence of recombinant mouse IL-1β (40ng/mL), IL-23 (20ng/ml), IL-6 (100ng/ml), TGFβ1 (10ng/ml); all cytokines from R&D Systems, MN. In all Th0 cell cultures anti-IFN-γ neutralizing antibodies (10μg/ml, BioXcell) were added. For Th1 cultures, IL-12 (PeproTech, NJ) was added at 10ng/ml. For Treg differentiation, T cells were cultured in the presence of recombinant mouse TGFβ1 (20ng/ml), recombinant human IL-2 (100U/mL) and anti-IFN-γ neutralizing antibodies (10μg/ml).
To assess cAMP production, 4 million CD4+ T cells isolated from WT or BACE1−/− mice were stimulated for 30 minutes with 10ug/ml Forskolin (EMD Millipore). cAMP levels in cell lysates were then analyzed using the cAMP Assay kit from Abcam, USA.

The intracellular cAMP levels in cultured human dermal fibroblasts were measured using cAMP assay kit (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) following the manufacturer’s protocols. Briefly, fibroblast cells were treated with adenosine and cordycepin for 2 min and harvested. Absorbance at 450 nm was measured using microplate reader (BioTek, Winooski, VT, USA). Background wavelength correction was done at 540 nm.

Quantifying Intracellular cAMP Levels

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The levels of cAMP were detected in the cells by using a cAMP Assay Kit (ab234585, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) in accordance with the manufacturer's protocol. Briefly, we first plated the cells overnight in growth medium at 5000 cells/well in a 96-well plate, aspirated off the cell growth medium when cultures reached 90% confluence, added 100 μl/well of cell lysis buffer, and incubated them at room temperature for 10 minutes. Then, the lysates were centrifuged for 10 minutes at 13,000 rpm and the clear supernatant extract was analyzed for cAMP levels following the manufacturer's protocol. Finally, the intracellular levels of cAMP were determined by measuring the absorbance at wave length of 405 nm using a Tecan Infinite M200 plate reader (Crailsheim, Germany).

Measuring cAMP and GLP-1 Receptor in H9c2 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
H9c2 cells (BCRC No. 60096) were cultured as previously described [22 (link)]. Briefly, the H9c2 cells were maintained in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM, pH 7.2; Gibco-BRL Life Technologies, Gaithersburg, MD, USA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. The cells were plated at 6000 cells/cm2 and allowed to proliferate in the medium. The medium was replaced on the second day. Then, the cells were used for the subsequent experiments because H9c2 cells show similar responses as the primary rat neonatal cardiomyocytes [22 (link)]. H9c2 cells were incubated with phosphodiesterase inhibitors (IBMX 5 µM) for 30 min, and then treated with myricetin at indicated concentration for another 1 h. Sample lysates were then collected and the intracellular cAMP levels were measured using cAMP Assay Kit (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA). Variations between treatment with myricetin or not were indicated as the increased cAMP in each. Additionally, changes in GLP-1 receptor expression were determined in these samples using the assay of mRNA levels in H9c2 cells as described below.

cAMP Quantification in Airway Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
One hundred thousand cells per well were seeded onto six-well plates. At about 90% confluency, HNEC, HTEC and HBEC3-KT cultures were incubated with 0.5 µg/ml CyaA, CyaA-AC or TUC buffer for 1 h. Then, the cells were detached and lysed. cAMP in cell lysates was quantified by a direct competitive ELISA according to the manufacturer’s instructions (cAMP Assay Kit; #ab65355; Abcam, Cambridge, UK). The ELISA assay kit utilises a recombinant protein G–coated 96-well plate to anchor cAMP polyclonal Abs onto the plate efficiently. The amount of cAMP-HRP bound to the plate was determined by reading the colorimetric HRP activity at OD450 nm. The measured cAMP values were normalised to the total protein content using the DC™ protein assay (Bio-Rad, Feldkirchen, Germany). We performed four independent experiments, each in duplicate.

Cell-secreted cytokines were measured from the cell culture supernatant using commercially available ELISA kits for mouse TNF-α, IL-1β/IL-1F2 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), IL-18 (MBL, Naka-Ku, Nagoya Aichi, Japan), and Caspase-1 (Novus Biologicals) according to the manufacturer’s protocols. BV2 cells were cultured in the presence of Aβ (2 µM), TDCA (400 ng/ml), or KH7 (4 μM) for 24 h. Cells were harvested and lysed with 0.1 M HCl to measure intracellular cAMP using a cAMP assay kit (Abcam) according to the manufacturer’s protocol.

LβT2 cells and primary rat adenohypophysis cells were transfected with the FOXP2 overexpression plasmid or vector. The intracellular cAMP level was detected by a cAMP Assay Kit (ab65355, Abcam, UK) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. The amount of cAMP was determined by measuring the absorbance at OD 450 nm, and the level of signal was compared to a standard curve for free cAMP to obtain the intracellular cAMP level.

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.
