Modulation of PBMSC Proliferation and Survival by β-catenin and Oct4

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To determine the effect of β-catenin on the proliferation and survival of PBMSCs, we randomly divided the cells into the following four groups according to different intervention methods: the no intervention group (serving as the control group), the β-catenin overexpression group (oeβ-catenin), the β-catenin knockdown group (shβ-catenin), and the β-catenin overexpression+β-catenin knockdown group (oeβ-catenin plus shβ-catenin). To determine the effect of Oct4 on the proliferation and survival of PBMSCs, we divided the cells into the no intervention group, the Oct4 overexpression group (oeOct4), the Oct4 knockdown group (shOct4), and the Oct4 overexpression+Oct4 knockdown group (oeOct4 plus shOct4). To evaluate the effects of β-catenin and Oct4 on cell growth and apoptosis, we added oeβ-catenin+shOct4 and shβ-catenin+oeOct4. After transfection, all groups of PBMSCs were cultured for 70 days for subsequent experiments to analyze the growth and apoptosis of PBMSCs.
To investigate the mechanisms of β-catenin-mediated cytoprotective effects against apoptotic cell death, we performed β-catenin activation in PBMSCs using oeβ-catenin or a β-catenin agonist (SKL2001, MedChemexpress, Monmouth Junction, NJ, USA), and β-catenin inhibition was carried out by shβ-catenin or a β-catenin inhibitor (FH535, MedChemexpress).

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.
