Example 7

In vivo Tumor Models: For subcutaneous tumor models, U87 tumor cells (5×106 cells; 100 μL PBS) were injected subcutaneously on the back of female BALB/c nude mice (aged 6-8 weeks; Charles River Laboratories) and grown to approximately 150 mm3. Tumor dimensions were measured periodically using a caliper (by the same experienced researcher), with tumor volumes calculated by the equation: volume=(π/6)×a×b×c, where a, b, and c represent three orthogonal axes of the tumor. For orthotopic brain tumor models, 2×105 U87 cells were implanted 0.5 mm anterior and 2 mm to the right of the bregma in the brains of 6-8 week-old nude mice, held in place using a stereotactic unit. The cells, suspended in 4 μL PBS, were injected at a depth of 3 mm over 5 min with an AS blunt-ended Hamilton syringe, which was subsequently held in place for a further 5 min. Animals were anaesthetized with an i.p. injection of 150 mg/kg ketamine, 15 mg/kg xylazine. Mice were subsequently imaged by MRI and PET 32-35 days post intracranial injection and GBM39 tumor-bearing mice were imaged between 44-50 days after implantation. For blocking studies, mice were imaged with [11C]DASA-23 at baseline and then 24 hours later with a second tail-vein injection of [11C]DASA-23, 1 hour after i.p. injection of TEPP-46 [50 mg/kg in 40% w/v (2-hydroxypropyl)-β-cyclodextrin in water; about 3 μmol; Cayman Chemical].

Splenocytes were isolated and cultured in IL-15 (15 ng/ml; PeproTech) at 37°C for 6 days. On day 4, the cells were supplemented with IL-15 (15 ng/ml) and cultured for an additional 2 d. On day 6, cultured NK cells were magnetically purified (NK cell Isolation Kit II, Miltenyi) and stimulated for 18 hr with IL-2 (20 ng/ml; National Cancer Institute Preclinical Repository) and/or IL-12 (10 ng/ml; Miltenyi Biotec) cytokines. Low-dose IL-15 (6.66 ng/ml) was added as a survival factor to unstimulated cultures. Experiments were carried out in the presence or absence of TEPP-46 (Cayman Chemical or EMD Millipore), rapamycin (20 nM; Fisher), N-acetyl-cysteine (7.5 mM; EMD Millipore) or dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) (75 μM, Sigma Aldrich). Splenocytes were cultured in RPMI medium containing 10% FBS, 2 mM glutamine (Thermo Fisher), 50 μM 2-ME (Sigma-Aldrich), and 1% Penicillin/Streptomycin (Thermo Fisher).

Eight-week-old male C3H mice were purchased (Orient Bio Co., Seongnam-si, Republic of Korea). All animal experiments and procedures were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) of the Yonsei Laboratory Animal Research Center (IACUC-202102-1214-01, IACUC-202104-1243-01, and IACUC-202202-1417-01). Mice were housed under an automated environmental managing system in micro-ventilated cages (Threeshine Inc., Seoul, Republic of Korea). Mice were maintained under temperature-controlled (24 °C), humidity-controlled (40–70%) and light-controlled (standard 12 h light/dark cycle) conditions and provided with food and water. The mice were raised with a chow diet and bedding (Central Lab Animal Inc., Seoul, Republic of Korea). Considering the animal use alternatives (3Rs), we performed preliminary experiments to determine the optimal concentration of TEPP-46 (Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI, USA) and KY19382 [23 (link)] on wound healing in mice. Then, we performed minimal animal experiments under optimal conditions.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
TEPP-46 was purchased from Cayman Chemical, USA. 10 μM TEPP-46 was used to treat zebrafish larvae from 4 dpf for for 96 hours. In all experimental groups, the survival rates at the end of experiment were always above 90%. After 96 hours treatment, images were taken and liver sizes were measured based on 2D images by using ImageJ (1.49j) as previously described [28 (link), 29 (link)]. The average liver sizes were calculated and summarized by using Graphpad Prism 6. Proliferation assay was performed by immunohistochemical staining on cryosections with anti-PCNA (Anaspec) as the primary antibody as previously described [7 (link)]. Images were taken for stained sections, and the number of total liver cells and proliferating cells were counted by using ImageJ (1.49j).

Primary mouse tracheal epithelial cells (MTE) were isolated from WT C57BL/6NJ mice (purchased from The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME) and cultured as previously described (15 (link), 16 (link)). WT MTE cells were grown on 12-well transwell inserts to confluency, followed by overnight starvation, and pre-treated with 100 μM TEPP46 (Cayman Chemicals) for 1 hour prior to stimulation with 10 ng/mL IL-1β (R&D Systems) for 24 hrs. In all cell experiments, MTE cells were treated at the apical and basolateral side. In HDM-treated MTE cell experiments, cells were washed 24 hours after IL-1β treatment, incubated with DMEM/F12 medium for 2 hours before stimulation with 50 μM HDM (GREER, Lenoir, NC, XPB70D3A2.5, lot 348718; volume: 2.5 mL/vial; endotoxin: 1140 EU/vial, Der p 1 levels: 144.9 mcg/vial; dry weight: 17 mg/vial; protein 2.92 mg/vial) for an additional 2 hours. Cells were harvested for protein or mRNA, and medium was collected for analysis of lactate and cytokine levels. To examine the contribution of phosphorylation of STAT3, MTE cells were treated with Stattic (17 (link)) (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) at the indicated concentrations for 1 hour prior to IL-1β treatment for 24 hrs.

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.
