Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Utricles were divided into five groups as follows: control, neomycin (2 mM, Sigma Chemical Co.), neomycin+astaxanthin (1 µM), neomycin+astaxanthin (10 µM), and neomycin+astaxanthin (1–100 µM). In the control group, only the vehicle was added to the medium. In the neomycin group, neomycin was added to the culture at a concentration of 2.0 mM. In the neomycin+astaxanthin groups, in addition to 2 mM neomycin, astaxanthin was added at 1 µM, 10 µM, and 100 µM, respectively. The utricles were incubated for 1 h before exposure to neomycin.
All free-floating utricles were incubated for 24 h at 37 °C in 24-well tissue culture plates in a 5% CO2 and 95% air environment. After all culture protocols, utricles were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for 1 h at room temperature. Otoconia from the fixed utricles were gently removed using a stream of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) applied through a syringe and a 28G needle. After the samples were rinsed with PBS, they were subsequently used in assays.

The PLD1 shRNA vectors were generated by ligation of vector pCMV-RFP. To establish shRFP, shPLD1-a, and shPLD1-b stable cell lines, xenografted DLD1, HCT116, and SW480 cells were transfected using control or two types of shRNA for PLD1 for 72 h under sphere cultured conditions, and then cells were selected with 500 µg/ml neomycin (Sigma-Aldrich) for 14 d. To avoid clonal variation, the stable cell lines were established from the mixed population of multiple neomycin-resistant clones. RFP-positive cells were sorted by using flow cytometry (FACS). shPLD1-a plus shE2F1, anti-EV, or anti–miR-4496 stable cell lines were established by transduction of their lentiviruses with 6 µg/ml polybrene (Sigma-Aldrich) and 500 µg/ml neomycin/4 µg/ml puromycin double selection.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Stable cell lines were cultured under standard conditions in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM) high glucose (Sigma-Aldrich), supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and 1% neomycin (Sigma-Aldrich) for HEK 293 cells, and in DMEM/F12 (Sigma-Aldrich) with 15% FBS and 1% neomycin for SH-SY5Ys. Cells were trypsinized when confluent and plated according to the required cell number. To generate cell lines stably expressing KIF1C, we expressed plasmids containing the HA-tagged wild-type (WT) or mutant (mt) (c.305G > C; p.G102A [Caballero Oteyza et al. 2014 (link)]) KIF1C open reading frame in a pSF-CMV-UB-NEO/G418 ASCI (Sigma-Aldrich) backbone and cultured cells under neomycin selection conditions. Control cell lines were generated with a plasmid expressing WT HA-tagged KIF5A, a gene mutated in Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia Type SPG10, and a plasmid only expressing the HA-tag.
To induce neuronal differentiation of SH-SY5Y cells, the medium of 60% confluent cells was switched to DMEM/F12 with reduced serum concentration (5% FBS), 1% neomycin and addition of 10 µM retinoic acid (RA) (StemCell Technologies). At day 6 the cells were washed twice with warm PBS (Sigma-Aldrich) and the media was changed to serum-free DMEM/F12 with 1% neomycin and 25 ng/mL BDNF (PeproTech). The cells were used from day 12 to day 18 after differentiation.

Modeling Ototoxicity, Noise, and LPS-Induced Hair Cell Injury

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To construct the ototoxic drug-induced HC injury model in the neonatal stage, cochlear epithelia samples were obtained for explant culture from P2 transgenic mice that had received tamoxifen (Sigma, T5648-5G) administration at P 0–1. The tissues were treated with 1 mM neomycin (Sigma) for 6 h and then harvested after an additional 24 h in the absence of neomycin.
To construct the noise-induced HC injury model, the hearing function of P30 mice that had received tamoxifen administration at P21–P22 were examined by ABR test 24 h before noise exposure. The mice were then exposed to broadband noise at 116 dB for 2 h. Hearing function was evaluated again by ABR test 7 days after noise exposure, and the mice were killed and cochlear samples were harvested for morphological analysis.
To construct the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced HC injury model, mice were given 10 μl LPS (Sigma-Aldrich, L2880) at 1, 2, or 4 mg/kg by tympanum injection and killed 3 days later.

Antibiotic-induced Gut Microbiome Modulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A group of wild-type C3H/HeOuJ background mice were treated with antibiotic containing water ad libitum or control group was given standard drinking water. Antibiotic treatment consisted of neomycin and polymyxin B (final concentrations: 0.6 mg/mL for neomycin and 120 units/mL for polymyxin B, both from Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, United States) given in drinking water for 8 weeks as described earlier (Prakash et al., 2015 (link)). This combination of antibiotics was chosen specifically for the ability of both to remain within the gut and not be absorbed into circulation; by using this combination to target the gut microbiome, we could focus primarily on its effects without disruption of other microbiomal niches. Supplementary Figure S6 demonstrates the effects of this combination on the richness, evenness, and diversity of the microbiome after 7 weeks of treatment.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The titers of infectious ASFV in serum and clarified spleen suspensions kept in the insect incubator at 27 °C and in the Thermomixer in the laboratory 27 °C were determined by end-point titration in PPAM as described above.
The presence of infectious virus in six selected T. molitor homogenate samples from study T2 containing ASFV DNA (with Cq values from 29.8 to 32.8) was determined using PPAM. The cells were maintained in MEM with 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and seeded in 24 well NUNC 24-well plates (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Larval homogenate (100 µL) was mixed with 100 µL MEM with 10% FBS, streptomycin (Sigma-Aldrich), neomycin (Sigma-Aldrich), amphotericin (Sigma-Aldrich) and benzylpenicillin (Sigma-Aldrich) and inoculated onto 1 mL cells (1,600,000 cells/mL). The inoculum was removed after one hour incubation at 37 °C (in 5% CO2) and the cells were washed twice using 1x PBS. Following washing, 1 mL MEM containing 5% FBS, streptomycin, neomycin, amphotericin (Sigma-Aldrich) and benzylpenicillin was added to the cells.
After three days of incubation at 37 °C (in 5% CO2), the cells were harvested by freezing and 100 µL of the 1st passage material was inoculated onto 1 mL fresh PPAM. After three days of incubation, virus-infected cells were identified using the IPMA as described above (Section 2.1.1).
