Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
An oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGD/R) model was constructed as previously described (19 (link)). Having being washed twice, astrocytes were immersed in glucose-free DMEM and placed in an incubator with a premixed gas (1% O2, 95% N2 and 5% CO2) for 4 h. Then, cells were maintained in normal DMEM (including 5.6 mmol/l glucose) and transferred to a 5% CO2 incubator at 37 °C for 24 h. For the non-OGD/R group, cultures were incubated in normal DMEM and placed in 5% CO2 in air at 37°C for 28 h. Astrocytes were also treated with Ad-GFP, Ad-BMP9, Ad-BMP9 + extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) inhibitor PD098059 (20 µM; Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA), Ad-BMP9 + c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) inhibitor SP600125 (20 µm; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc., Danvers, MA, USA), Ad-BMP9 + p38 inhibitor SB203580 (20 µm; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.), PD098059 (20 µm), SP600125 (20 µm), and SB203580 (20 µm) for 24 h and then subjected to OGD/R treatment.

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.
