Rat PMVECs were purchased from BeNa Culture Collection Co., Ltd. (category number BNCC338210; Peking, China). Cells were cultured in endothelial culture medium (number 1001, Sciencell) containing 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 1% endothelial cell growth supplement (number 1052, Sciencell) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin solution (number 0503) in 5% CO2 at 37°C. Cells (P2–P4) cultured in ECM medium containing no FBS for 24 were divided into four groups: (i) normal control, cultured in low-serum RPMI 1640 medium containing 2% FBS; (ii) AngII group, cells cultured in low-serum RPMI 1640 medium containing 2% FBS and AngII (1 μM, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, USA); (iii) AngII + IL-22 group, cells cultured in low-serum RPMI 1640 medium containing 2% FBS, AngII (1 μM, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, USA), and IL-22 (20 ng/ml, CYT-173, ProSpec); and (iv) AngII + IL-22 + AG490 group, cultured in low-serum RPMI 1640 medium containing 2% FBS, AngII (1 μM, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, USA), IL-22 (20 ng/ml), and AG490 (10 μM, sc-202046, Santa Cruz). After culturing for 72 hrs, the cells were subject to apoptosis analysis and determination of STAT3 expression, respectively.

Rat PMVECs Cultured and Treated

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Rat PMVECs purchased from Bena Culture Collection (category No. BNCC338210, Suzhou, China) were cultured using the standard method as previously described15 (link). Briefly, cells were cultured in endothelial culture medium (No. 1001, Sciencell) containing 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS, No. 0025), 1% endothelial cell growth supplement (No. 1052) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin solution (No. 0503) in 5% CO2 at 37 °C. PMVECs (P2-4) were expanded in monolayers in cell culture bottle. The culture medium was changed to a serum-free solution for 24 h prior to usage. The cells were divided into four groups, including (i) control group; (ii) AngII group, treated by 1 μM AngII (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, USA); (iii) AngII+IL-22 group, treated by 1 μM AngII and 20 ng/mL IL-22 (CYT-173, ProSpec, CA, USA); and (iv) AngII+IL-22+AG490 group, treated by AngII (1 μM)+ IL-22 (20 ng/mL) and AG490 (10 µM, sc-202046, Santa Cruz, CA, USA). The cells were incubated for 48 h before cellular apoptosis assay.

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.
