Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The human tubular epithelial cell line HK-2 and the human myeloid leukemia mononuclear cell line THP-1 were obtained from the Cell Bank of the Type Culture Collection (Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai, China) and maintained in Roswell Park Memorial Institute 1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Gibco, Australia) at 37 °C under a 5% CO2 atmosphere.
For treatment with human serum albumin (HSA), HK-2 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium containing 2% FBS for 24 h and then stimulated with 20 mg/ml HSA for 48 h. For lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation, THP-1 cells were induced to macrophages using 100 nM phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) (S1819; Beyotime, China) for 48 h and treated with 100 ng/ml LPS (S1732; Beyotime) for another 24 h. For investigations with the prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor FG-4592, macrophages were treated with 5 mM FG-4592 (SC1135; Beyotime) for 24 h.
HK-2 cells and macrophages were transfected using Lipofectamine 3000 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, USA). To knock down Rab27a, HK-2 cells were transfected with 50 nM Rab27a siRNA (RiboBio, Guangzhou, China). For HIF-1α knockdown, macrophages were transfected with 50 nM HIF-1α siRNA (RiboBio, Guangzhou, China). Transwell co-culture systems were applied for co-culture with HK-2 cells and macrophages (Corning, MA, USA).

Transfection was achieved using Lipofectamine 2000 Transfection Reagent (Invitrogen, 11668-019) following the manufacturer’s protocol. Cells were transfected with plasmids encoding mCherry-GFP-LC3 (22418) and GFP-LC3 (22405) from Addgene, Cambridge, MA, USA. Human pcDNA3.1(+)-NDRG1 plasmid constructed by Gene-Chem Co. Ltd (Shanghai, China). Human NDRG1 siRNA, HIF-1α siRNA and nontarget siRNA were purchased from Ribobio (Guangzhou, China). Cells were cultured in six-well plates and transfected with plasmids for 24 h. After the designated treatments, live cell images were obtained using a fluorescence microscope (Leica, Wetzlar, Germany). Protein knockdown or overexpression efficiency was assessed by immunoblotting.

Chondrocyte culture medium was supplemented with different concentrations of cobalt chloride (0, 50, 10, 150 and 200 µM; Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) for the indicated times. When the growth plate chondrocytes had reached ~50% confluence, the original culture medium was discarded, and OPTIMEM medium containing YAP small interfering (si)RNA (50 nM), HIF-1α siRNA (50 nM; Guangzhou Ribobio Co., Ltd., Guangzhou, Guangdong, China) or negative control (NC) siRNA, and Lipofectamine 2000® (Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.), was transfected in chondrocytes for 6 h. The sequences of YAP siRNA were as follows: GCCATGAACCAGAGGATCA. The sequences of HIF-1α siRNA were as follows: CTGATAACGTGAACAAATA, TCGACAAGCTTAAGAAAGA and GGACAATATAGACATT. Subsequent experiments were performed after 24 h. Endogenous YAP and HIF-1a protein knock-out efficiency was examined by western blot analysis.

HIF-1α Downregulation in HUVECs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To downregulate the expression of HIF-1α in HUVECs, we used siRNA for cell transfection, and Lipofectamine 2000 was used to improve the interference efficiency. In detail, we plated cells to 70% confluence at the time of transfection. Then, Lipofectamine 2000 Reagent (Invitrogen, California, USA) or HIF-1α siRNA (5'-GGAACATGATGGTTCACTT-3', RiboBio, Guangdong, China) was premixed and incubated with Opti-MEM (Gibco, MA, USA) for 10 min and incubated with both mixtures for 5 min (in 6-well plates, 5 μL of Lipofectamine 2000 Reagent, 5 μL of HIF-1α siRNA and 300 μL of Opti-MEM in each well). The medium on the plate was removed and washed with PBS twice. Finally, medium with no serum and a siRNA mixture were added for incubation. The medium was removed 6 h after transfection and replaced with fresh medium containing 10% serum.

Hypoxia-Induced Autophagy via HIF-1α

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were exposed to the HIF-1α inhibitor 2ME2 to determine the mechanisms of hypoxia-induced autophagy. BV2 cells were seeded in six-well plates and pretreated with 3 µM 2ME2 for 6 h prior to hypoxia exposure. These pretreated BV2 cells were exposed to hypoxia for 3, 6, 9, 12 and 24 h. Supernatants from cell cultures were collected and assayed for secreted cytokines, and cell pellets were used for RNA isolation and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analysis. For transfection with siRNA, cells were plated in six-well plates at 5×105 cells/well. Plated cells were grown in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS overnight, and transfected with 50 nM HIF-1α siRNA (5′-CTACTCAGGACACAGATTTAGACTTGGAG-3) or negative control siRNA (5′-CAGCAACCAGGTGACCGTG-3′) obtained from Guangzhou Ribobio Co. Ltd., Guangzhou, China, using the transfection reagent Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.) according to the manufacturer's protocol, 24 h prior to treatment with drugs.

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.
