Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
EGFR siRNA (5′-GAUGGAGUCAGCAAGUGUATT-3′; 5′-UACACUUGCUGACUCCAUCTT-3′) and negative control (NC) siRNA (5′-UUCUCCGAACGUGUCACGUTT-3′; 5′-ACGUGACACGUUCGGAGAATT-3′) were designed and synthesized by Genepharma (Shanghai, China). The DRGs from three- to four-week-old SD rats were harvested and cultured for examining the knockdown efficiency of EGFR siRNA. All harvested DRGs were then digested with 0.25% trypsin solution without EDTA (Beyotime Biotechnology, Shanghai, China). Following trituration and centrifugation, dissociated cells were resuspended and cultured in cold Neurobasal™-A Medium (Gibco/ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) with 10% fetal bovine serum (JR Scientific, Woodland, CA), B-27™ Supplement (1×) (Gibco/ThermoFisher Scientific), 100 units per ml penicillin, and 100 µg per ml streptomycin (Beyotime Biotechnology) in a six-well plate precoated with 50 µg per ml poly-D-lysine (Beyotime Biotechnology). The cultured cells were incubated in an incubator with 95% O2, 5% CO2, and at 37° 7. After 24 h incubation, EGFR siRNA (250 pmol) or equivalent NC siRNA was delivered by Lipo6000 transfection reagent (Beyotime Biotechnology) into cultured cells in six well plates. Two days later, the cultured cells were harvested into radio immunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) lysis buffer for western blotting.

The internalization assay was performed as previously reported43 (link). Briefly, HEK293 cells were transfected with plasmids encoding eGFP-tagged wild-type or mutant SSTR2. The transfected cells were plated on poly-D-lysine (Beyotime) coated coverslips in 24-well plates and grew overnight. The cells were washed with PBS, and then octreotide or paltusotine was added at the final concentration of 1–100 μM. After incubation for 30 min at 37 °C, the cells were fixed and permeabilized with methanol (−20 °C) for 5–10 min. Finally, the coverslips were mounted onto glass slides with the antifade mounting medium containing DAPI (Beyotime Biotechnology, P0131-5 ml).

ADSCs after five passages were exposed to a DCEF of 300 mV/mm in our laboratory-made equipment described in detail previously [12 (link), 13 (link)]. In brief, cells were seeded at 3 × 104/cm2 on a 100 mm petri dish, which was treated before seeding with poly-D-lysine (Beyotime, China) for 5 min and then left to dry for at least 30 min. Then, the cells were put back into the incubator for at least 6 h to achieve attachment. Coverslips were attached using high-vacuum silicone grease (Dow Corning, USA) to form a small chamber with silicone grease separating the petri dish into two reservoirs. Fresh medium was added into the petri dish, and the two separated reservoirs were allowed to connect. The petri dish was returned to the incubator for at least 12 h to allow for cell recovery. The medium was changed, and HEPES buffer (Solarbio, China) was added to reach 25 mM to maintain pH stability. Then, 2% agarose (Sigma, USA) salt bridges were placed on both sides of the petri dish, while the other side of salt bridges put in Steinberg's solution, connected with silver wires (Alfa Aesar, USA) to a direct current power supply (Maisheng, China). The voltage of the chamber was measured and adjusted every hour to reach the set chamber EF strength.

The 120–160 g Wistar rats were killed by cervical dislocation and the ganglia was enzymatically dissociated to obtain the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neuron cells. The operation procedures were investigated and approved by the Animal Ethics Committee of China Pharmaceutical University (SYXK(SU)2016-0011). Normal feeding occurred for at least three days for the animals to adapt to the environment, and we ensured that the mice had a free water supply during the experiment. As described in the literature [23 (link),35 (link)], the ganglia were rinsed in ice-cold Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and incubated in HBSS buffer containing 1.5 mg/mL type 2 collagenase (Sigma-Aldrich Inc., Milwaukee, WA, USA) at 37 °C for 30 min. Then, Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium (DMED) (Gibco, Carlsbad, CA, USA), supplemented with 1% penicillin/streptomycin and 10% fetal calf fetal (Biological Industries, Kibbutz Beit Haemek, Israel) was used to rinse the ganglia three times and triturated with Pasteur pipettes. The DRG neuron cells were plated on a poly-D-lysine (Beyotime, Shanghai, China)/laminin (Sigma-Aldrich, Milwaukee, USA)-coated plate (Thermo Fisher, Massachusetts, MA, USA), incubated at 37 °C in 5% CO2 at a relative humidity of 95%. All cells were used within 48 h.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
L46 DRG specimens were collected from different groups. In accordance with the experimental procedure of Batti et al. (2013) (link) and the improvement methods from the authors’ laboratory (Tan et al., 2020 (link)), the animals were sacrificed using 4% sevoflurane, with immediate stripping of L46 DRG. Then, samples were cut with eye scissors, subjected to enzyme digestion, and centrifuged. After the clear liquid was removed, the specimens were placed on a 12-well plate that had been precoated with poly-D-lysine (Beyotime) for fixing cells. Then, N-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-6-methoxyquinolinium bromide (MQAE) buffer was added and incubated at 37°C for 30 min, and the specimens were cleaned with a buffer. A fluorescence microscope was used to record the fluorescence intensity. When the concentration of Cl in the cell increased, the fluorescence intensity of MQAE was proportionally reduced.

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.
