Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human cervical cancer cell lines (Ca Ski, HeLa, SiHa, ME-180, and MS751) were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA, USA). The cell lines were maintained in complete media (RPMI 1640 for Ca Ski; DMEM for HeLa; MEM for SiHa and MS751; McCoy’s 5A for ME-180) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 0.1% gentamicin sulfate (Gemini Bio-Products, Calabasas, CA, USA) in 5% CO2 at 37°C. The SPHK inhibitors SKI-II (2-(p-hydroxyanilino)-4-(p-chlorophenyl) thiazole; Calbiochem, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) and FTY720 (Fingolimod; Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI, USA) were resuspended in dimethyl sulfoxide at a concentration of 100 μg/mL. Cells were seeded at 3 × 103 cells/well in a 96-well microplate in culture media with 10% FBS. Cells were treated with SPHK inhibitors as described in previous reports [32 (link), 33 (link)].

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Intracerebroventricular injection was performed as previously described (22 (link)). Briefly, mice were anesthetized with isoflurane, a small incision was made in the scalp, and an injection was achieved at a point 1 mm lateral and 1 mm caudal to bregma, at a depth of 2 mm. The volume for all intracerebroventricular injections was 1 μL in a 10-μL syringe (Hamilton). The syringe was left in place for 1 min to allow for infusate diffusion. The proper injection site was verified in pilot experiments by administration and localization of Evans Blue dye. Intracerebroventricular administration of okadaic acid (OA, 20 ng; Abcam) and FTY720 (fingolimod, 2.5 µg; Cayman) was performed twice a week (23 (link),24 (link)).
Ovariectomies were performed in 10-week-old mice, as described previously (25 (link)). For peripheral estrogen treatment, pellets releasing vehicle or 17β-estradiol (E2) (0.25 mg, 60-day release pellets; Innovative Research of America) were implanted 1 week after ovariectomy. The β3-adrenergic receptor agonist CL316243 (0.5 mg/kg; Tocris) was administered daily via i.p. route (26 (link)).

Modulating CD4+ T Cell Response

Naive CD4+ T cells were purified from the MLN and spleen of OT-II and OT-II.Il27ra−/− mice using the EasySep Mouse Naive CD4+ T cell isolation Kit (Stem Cell Technologies), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. OT-II cells (1 × 106 cells/mouse) were injected i.v. into C57/BL6 recipients, and recipients were immunized 24 h later by i.p. injection of OVA (0.5 mg, Grade V; Sigma-Aldrich), anti-CD40 (25 μg), and LPS (20 μg). 1 and 3 d after immunization, recipients were injected i.p. with FTY720 (fingolimod, 20 μg; Cayman) to prevent lymphocyte egress from the MLN. Mice were sacrificed 4 d after immunization and MLN isolated for analysis. For antibody treatment studies, anti-mouse IL-27p28 or mouse IgG2a isotype control antibody were injected i.p. (250 μg) at immunization and 2 d after immunization.

Synthesis and Neutralization of IL-10

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
TASP0277308 was synthesized as previously reported [19 ]. Fingolimod (FTY720) was purchased from Cayman Chemical (Ann Arbor, MI, USA). Sheep anti-rat IL-10 IgG antibody was a generous gift from Dr. Linda Watkins at the University of Colorado Boulder. The rat IL-10 neutralizing antibodies were raised in sheep at the National Institute of Biological Standards and Control (South Mimms, Hertfordshire, UK) and purified by Avigen (Alameda, CA, USA) and have been shown to specifically block IL-10 signaling when intrathecally administered [34 (link); 53 (link)]. Control sheep serum IgG was obtained from Sigma Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA).

Six-to eight-week-old male BALB/cAJcl mice were purchased from Nihon-Clea (Tokyo, Japan) and maintained in a specific pathogen-free area at Osaka University.
The overall experimental scheme is shown in Figure 2 Tumor rechallenge was conducted for those mice who got cured in the HT þ C4 group by subcutaneously inoculating 1 Â 10 5 4T1 cells into both sides of the legs.
To analyze lung metastasis, we harvested the lungs from mice in the C4 (N ¼ 7) and HT þ C4 (N ¼ 9) groups on day 13 and counted the number of metastatic nodules using a stereoscopic microscope (SZX12; Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) (Figure 2(B)).
Fingolimod (FTY720) (Cayman CHEMICAL, MI, USA), an immunosuppressive agent derived from ISP-1 (myriocin), prevents lymphocyte egress into the peripheral blood [27, 28] . We intraperitoneally administered approximately 5 mg FTY720 dissolved in saline (50 mg/ml) into the mice in the combination therapy group (HT þ C4 þ FTY720 group) every 2 days from day 0 to day 18. Tumor volumes and survival rates were compared between the

Fingolimod Modulation of Neurodegeneration

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Both 3-month-old mice and 12-month-old mice were treated daily with fingolimod (FTY720) (Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA), a sphingosine analog and an S1P receptor modulator for 2 weeks. Before injection, the animals were weighed to assess the correct doses. FTY720 dissolved in 0.9% NaCl, was administered intraperitoneally in a dose of 1 mg/kg b.w., which was selected based on our previous studies [36] . Controls (ACSF + STZ, APP -and APP + ) received the appropriate vehicle. In case of STZ-mice, the administration of the drug started on the same day as injection of STZ. One day after the last treatment, animals were sacrificed by decapitation to isolate brain tissue.

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.
