To compensate for the reduced BH4 level in cancer cells and M2-type macrophages, 20 or 100 μM L-sepiapterin (BH4 precursor, Sigma-Aldrich or Santa Cruz Biotech. (Santa Cruz, CA, USA)) was used. For iNOS inhibition, iNOS inhibitor (1400 W) was obtained from Cayman Chemical (Ann Arbor, MI, USA) and used at 50 and 100 μM for 2 days [40 (link)]. For inhibition of STAT3, 2.5 μM Stattic (Tocris Biosci., Minneapolis, MN, USA) was used. For inhibition of SMAD3, 25 μM SIS3 (Sigma-Aldrich) was used.

Xenopus Craniofacial Development Assays

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Peptides (Thermo Scientific) were designed according to predicted sequences including 9 amino acid (AA) Xenopus Bradykinin (xBdk) (SYKGLSPFR) and 8AA Des-Arg xBdk (SYKGLSPF), and diluted to 0.1 mg/ml or 0.2mg/ml. Affi-gel blue agarose beads (50–100 mesh, Bio-Rad) loaded with peptides were prepared according to Carmona-Fontaine, Thesis, 2011 . For rescues, beads resuspended in 0.1mg/ml peptide solution were implanted in the presumptive mouth region at stage 22 and scored at stage 40. For NC assays, beads resuspended in 0.2mg/ml peptide solution were implanted in side of head or presumptive mouth at stage 20–22. Embryos were fixed at tailbud (st. 26) for in situ hybridization analysis. For peptide-rescue assays, partial LOF morphants were employed to maximize viability.
NO donor, S-Nitroso-N-acetyl-DL-penicillamine (SNAP) (Sigma) was diluted to 100 mM in a 50% DMSO solution. For early rescues, 1nl of SNAP was coinjected with 17ng of morpholino into one-cell stage embryos. For late rescues (st. 20), 2–3nl of SNAP was injected into the presumptive mouth region. The nNOS inhibitor, TRIM (Sigma- T7313), was diluted to 1M concentration in DMSO, and applied to late neurula (st. 20) embryos. Embryos were collected at tailbud (st. 26) for sox9 in situ hybridization and at swimming tadpole (st. 40) for craniofacial morphology.

Cerebral Blood Flow Modulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CBF recordings were started after arterial pressure and blood gases were stable. To test functional hyperemia, the CBF response evoked by gently stroking the whiskers with a cotton-tipped applicator for 60 s was recorded. To test endothelium-dependent vasodilatation, acetylcholine (10 µM, Sigma), the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 (3 µM; Sigma) or bradykinin (50 µM; Sigma) was topically superfused for 3–5 min and the evoked CBF increases recorded. To test smooth muscle function, the CBF responses to adenosine (400 µM, Sigma) or to the NO donor S-Nitroso-N-acetyl-DL-penicillamine (SNAP; 50 µM, Sigma) were examined [25 (link), 31 (link), 37 (link)]. All pharmacological agents were dissolved in a modified Ringer’s solution [36 (link)]. The increase in CBF produced by hypercapnia was tested by introducing 5% CO2 in the ventilator to increase arterial pCO2 up to 50–60 mmHg. Once a stable increase in CBF was obtained for 3–5 min, pCO2 was returned to normocapnia.

Utilization of S-Nitrosothiol Compounds in Cardiomyocyte and Single-Channel Studies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
S-Nitroso-N-acetyl-DL-penicillamine (SNAP; Sigma, n3398) was used as NO donor in the cardiomyocyte experiments. SNAP was solved in DMSO; the drug-free control bath solutions contained the same amount of DMSO as the experimental solutions. Another S-nitrosothiol compound the S-nitroso-l-glutathione (GSNO, Cayman Chemical, 82,240) was used in the single-channel experiments [27 (link)]. Stock solution was made by using DMSO. Since many studies have suggested important role for cell enzymes in GSNO metabolism/NO liberation (γ-glutamyltranspeptidase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, reviewed in [4 (link)]) for our cell-free experimental system, sodium nitroprusside dihydrate (SNP, Sigma 71,778) was used as NO donor.

CBF recordings were started after arterial pressure and blood gases were in a steady state. CBF responses to whisker stimulation were recorded while gently stroking the whiskers with a cotton-tipped applicator for 60 sec. All pharmacological agents were dissolved in a modified Ringer’s solution. To test endothelium-dependent responses, the endothelial nitric oxide (eNOS)-dependent vasodilator acetylcholine (10 μM, Sigma), the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 (3 μM; Sigma) or bradykinin (50 μM; Sigma) was topically superfused for 3–5 min and the evoked CBF increases recorded. To test smooth muscle reactivity, CBF response to adenosine (400 μM, Sigma) or the NO donor S-Nitroso-N-acetyl-DL-penicillamine (SNAP; 50 μM, Sigma) were examined24 (link), 25 (link), 42 . The increase in CBF produced by hypercapnia was tested by introducing 5% CO2 in the ventilator to increase arterial pCO2 up to 50–60 mmHg. Once a stable increase in CBF was obtained for 3–5 min, pCO2 was returned to normocapnia.

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.
