Analytical-grade chemicals were used for the experiments. Acetylcholine (ACh) [15 (link)], Norepinephrine (NE), and Potassium chloride (KCL) were purchased from BDH, Poole, England. Atorvastatin raw material was purchased from Polyfine Pharmaceutical Private Ltd., Peshawar, Pakistan. Fluvastatin of Novartis Pharma was purchased from the local market of Peshawar. Amlodipine raw material was obtained from Feroz-sons laboratories Pvt Ltd., Nowshera, Pakistan.
Less soluble raw materials in Krebs solution were suspended in 0.01% carboxy methyl cellulose (CM) using distilled water. To rule out any possible effects of CMC, a negative control in distilled water was conducted. Freshly prepared solutions and suspensions were used on the same day of the experiments.

Hydrogel Synthesis and Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
3-Acrylamidopropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (APTMACl, Sigma Aldrich, 75 wt%) and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulphonic acid (AAMPSA, 98%, Alfa Aesar) were used as cationic monomer and anionic monomer, respectively. N,N′-Methylenebisacrylamide (MBA, 99%, Sigma Aldrich) was used as a cross-linker, and ammonium persulfate (APS 98%, Sigma Aldrich) was used as an initiator. These chemicals were directly used for synthesizing hydrogels. Congo red (CR, Sigma Aldrich) and crystal violet (CV, Sigma Aldrich) as sources of organic dyes were used as-received. Milli-Q distilled water was used throughout the experimental work. NaNO3 (Merck), NaOH (BDH), HCl (Sigma), and KCl (BDH) were used as reagents during the research work.

Analytical reagent grade anhydrous calcium nitrate (Ca(NO3)2, urea (NH2)2CO, sodium dihydrogen phosphate dihydrate (NaH2PO4.2H2O), NaOH, NaCl, KCl, CaCl2.2H2O, and Na2S.9H2O were purchased from BDH and Scharlau. Benzoyl peroxide (C14H10O4), Methyl-methacrylate-MMA (C5H8O2) and polymethyl-methacrylate-PMMA (C5H8O2)n were purchased from Scharlau. All the stock solutions were filtered through a micropore membrane to remove the insoluble impurities.

RT-LAMP reaction was performed in a total volume of 20 μL containing the following components: 8 U Bst 2.0 (NEB), 7.5 U RTx (NEB) and 1 × colorimetric buffer mix [1.6 μM FIP/BIP primers, 0.4 μM LF/LB primers, 0.2 μM F3/B3 primers Gene N-A24 (link), 10 mM (NH4)2SO4 (Merck), 50 mM KCl (BDH), 8 mM MgSO4 (BDH), 0.1% Tween 20, 0.2 mM Phenol Red (Sigma), 1.4 mM each dNTP (NZYTech)]. For the in-house-made assay, we used the same colorimetric buffer mix, 0.5 μL of MashUP RT (6.8 mg/mL) and 1 μL of Bst LF (7.6 mg/mL) 50 × diluted. WarmStart colorimetric LAMP 2 × master mix (M1800S, NEB) was also used with the above final primer concentration.
When the complexometric indicator MX-Zn was used, samples were assembled as described above, but without Phenol Red. After 30 min, 2 μL of 5 mM Murexide and 1 μL of 50 mM of ZnCl2 were added to the reaction, in a post-LAMP workspace. All reactions were performed in a thermocycler at 65 °C and pictures were taken at the indicated time points. Figures depicting the readout of the RT-LAMP assays are representative of three independent experiments.

Mitochondrial Metabolism and Cell Death Assays

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mitochondrial metabolism assays were performed using 20 μg of isolated mitochondria were re-suspended in Locke's buffer (154 mM NaCl, 5.6 mM KCl (BDH), 2.3 mM CaCl2 (Fischer), 1 mM MgCl2, 3.6 mM NaHCO3, 5 mM Glucose and 5 mM HEPES pH 7.5 (BDH) and plated into 1 well of a black 96 well plate (CLS3904). 40 μM resazurin was then added to each sample to make a final concentration of 20 μM and plates were then incubated at 37 o C with 5% CO2. Absorbance was then read at 595nm every 30 minutes for 4 h and compared to that of 20 μM resazurin blank controls (FluoStar Galaxy).
Cell death curves were performed on 50,000 HeLa cells expressing GFP, pre-treated with and without 1 μM of the BCL-2 inhibitor Navitoclax for 16h. Cells were treated with 0, 0.02, 0.08, 0.32, 1.28 or 2.56 J of UV, left for 24 h, 20 μM of resazurin added and plates incubated at 37 o C with 5% CO2 for 1h. Absorbance was read at 595nm and compared to 20 μM resazurin control.

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.
