2 dog

Manufactured by Merck Group

2-DOG is a laboratory reagent used in the study of cellular metabolism. It is a glucose analog that inhibits the enzyme hexokinase, which is involved in the first step of glycolysis. 2-DOG can be used to measure glucose uptake and metabolism in cells.

2-DOG Lifespan Assay in C. elegans

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For performing 2-DOG lifespan, NGM agar was supplemented with 2-DOG (Sigma-Aldrich, D8375) to a final concentration of 5 mM. Synchronized egg population (100–150) obtained by sodium hypochlorite treatment of gravid worms grown on E. coli OP50 was transferred to control RNAi plates without 2-DOG. At young adult (YA) stage, approximately 50 worms were transferred to the 2-DOG-containing or control plates, both overlaid with FUDR, in three technical replicates. Worms were then scored as live or dead every alternate day. Sick worms with ruptured vulva rupture were censored from the population.

2-DOG Life Span Assay in C. elegans

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Plates for performing 2-DOG life span were prepared from the same batch of NGM agar as the control plates except that the 2-DOG (Sigma-Aldrich, D8375) was added in the media to a final concentration of 5 mM from a sterile 0.5 M stock solution made in water. Synchronized egg population (100–150) obtained by sodium hypochlorite treatment of gravid worms grown on E. coli OP50, was exposed to control plates (without 2- DOG). At YA stage, approximately 50 worms were transferred to the plates containing 2-DOG and plates without 2-DOG, overlaid with FUDR, in three technical replicates. Worms were scored every alternate day as mentioned above.

Murine 3T3-L1 Adipocyte Differentiation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Murine 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes, obtained from Dr. Green’s laboratory (7 (link)), were grown, maintained and induced to differentiate using a standard protocol (8 (link)). Fully differentiated adipocytes were maintained in DMEM (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO) supplemented with 10% FBS (Sigma-Aldrich) until two days before experimentation when cells were fed with 10% calf serum (Sigma-Aldrich). Prior to treatments media was changed to low-glucose (5.5 mM) DMEM (Sigma-Aldrich) and 1% calf serum overnight. For 20 hr treatments, cells were treated with 2-DOG and LPS or TNF concurrently. For shorter treatments, cells were pretreated with 2-DOG (Sigma-Aldrich), thapsigargin (Sigma-Aldrich) or salubrinal (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) for 30 min and then treated with TNF (R&D Systems) for 1–4 hrs.

Glucose Uptake Assay in 3T3-F442A Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
3T3-F442A cells incubated in 24-well culture dishes were washed three times with serum free DMEM, then serum starved for 16–18 hours in 5 mM Glucose DMEM and 1% BSA. Cells were then washed two times with PBS and incubated in glucose free and pyruvate rich (1 mM) DMEM (Sigma D5030-10X1L) for 30 minutes at 37°C with 5% CO2. Cells were then treated with or without cytochalasin B (30μM final, in DMSO Sigma C6762-10mg). H3 2-Deoxy-D-Glucose (2-DOG) (NET 328A001 mL, Perkin Elmer) was diluted 1:40 in H1 (link) 2-DOG (Sigma D6134-5g) then added to cells at a final concentration of 10 mM 2-DOG. Insulin was then added at a final concentration of 100 nM and cells were incubated for 30 minutes at 37 °C with 5% CO2. Following incubations cells were washed three times with PBS, and suspended in 500 μL 1M NaOH by pipetting up and down. Cell lysates were then freeze thawed twice diluted in Ultima Gold scintillation fluid and analyzed using Beckman Coulter LS-6500 scintillation counter. Protein concentrations were assessed in parallel using BCA analysis. H3 Content was then normalized to H3 2-DOG standard curves and glucose uptake values were generated normalized to protein content.

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.
