For the ELISA analysis in bladder tissue, concentrations of TNF-α, IL-1β, and cAMP were measured by reacting with enzyme immunoassay kit (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) according to the manufacturer’s manual. For TNF-α and IL-1β measurement in the bladder tissue, standard or lysed sample was added to each well, and plates were incubated at room temperature for 2.5 hours. The prepared TNF-α and IL-1β biotin antibodies were added to each well and incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. Then, HRP-streptavidin solution was added and incubated at room temperature for 45 minutes. TMB one-step development solution was reacted at room temperature for 30 minutes in the dark on a shaker. Immediately, stop solution was added to each well and calculated at 450 nm wavelength with Multiskan Go Microplate Readers (Thermo Fisher Scientific). For cAMP calculation, prepared standard and diluted samples were added to wells. Then, prepared alkaline phosphatase-conjugate was added to wells. Subsequently, cAMP complete antibody was reacted at room temperature on a shaker for 2 hours (500 rpm). pNpp substrate solution was added to wells and incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. Then, stop solution was added and read at 405 nm wavelength with Multiskan Go Microplate Readers (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

MTT assay was conducted as described by Mosmann (1983 (link)) with slight modifications. Confluent PBECs in 96-well plate were incubated with embelin prepared in the culture medium at concentrations ranging from 10 to 100 μg/mL, for 1 h at 37°C. After 1 h, embelin solution was discarded and the PBECs were incubated with 100 μL MTT solution (1 mg/mL) prepared in DMEM without Phenol Red for 4 h at 37°C. Untreated cells were used as control to represent total viable cells. The cells were also treated with 1% (v/v) methanol in culture medium as vehicle control. After 4 h, the MTT solution was removed and replaced with 100 μL of propan-2-ol to dissolve formazan crystals formed. Absorbance was measured at 560 nm and 690 nm using Multiskan Go Microplate Reader (Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, USA). The experiment was conducted in triplicate, in three independent experiments.

The assay procedure was previously described.28 (link) Briefly, SH-SY5Y cells were treated with chemicals in a 6-well plate under the culture condition described above. The known selective p38α/β inhibitor SB202190 at 0.05 μM was used as a reference control. After 72 h, the harvested cells were washed with PBS and lysed with cell extraction buffer containing 10 mM Tris, pH 7.4, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM NaF, 20 mM Na4P2O7, 2 mM Na3VO4, 1% Triton X-100, 10% glycerol, 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, 1 mM PMSF and a protease inhibitor cocktail (Sigma-Aldrich). Total protein concentrations were determined with the Bradford assay (Bio-Rad). The phosphorylated human tau at pS396 site (a specific site of p38 kinase found in AD)19 (link) in the cell lysate was quantified with the human Tau (Phospho) [pS396] ELISA kit according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Invitrogen, Camarillo, CA). Absorbance at 450 nm was read with a Multiskan Go microplate reader (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA). Samples were analyzed in duplicate in six independent experiments (n = 6).

α-arbutin-loaded BMO-PUL NPs suspensions in DMEM (50 μL; 0.1–4 mg/mL) were cultured (37 °C) with confluent HaCaT cells for 24 h (seeding 5 × 103). The medium was then substituted with MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) reagent (100 μL; 10% w/v) and incubated for another 3 h before being substituted by DMSO (100 μL). Initially, the MTT reagent was prepared by dissolving 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide in a serum-free DMEM media (1 mg/mL). The plate was then analysed on a Multiskan GO microplate reader (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA; measuring at 570 nm).

The cell viability was determined by the Cell Counting Kit-8 (Apexbio, United States) according to the manufacturer’s instruction and read by the Multiskan GO microplate reader (ThermoFisher, United States ) at 450 nm.

Colorimetric Assays for Mycoplasma Doubling Time

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Colorimetric assays used to measure M. florum doubling time were based on growth assays previously developed for spiroplasmas (Konai et al, 1996). Briefly, ATCC 1161 medium was inoculated with an exponential‐phase M. florum preculture to obtain an initial concentration of ~ 1 × 105 CFU/ml. The inoculated medium was then diluted using twofold serial dilutions to obtain a total of four dilutions (1:1, 1:2, 1:4, and 1:8). Each dilution was transferred in triplicate into a 96‐well microplate, and the plate was incubated with shaking at the desired temperature (30, 32, 34, 36 or 38°C) in a Multiskan GO microplate reader (Thermo Scientific). Bacterial growth was monitored by measuring the OD560 nm every 10 min for ~ 16 h. The metabolic activity of M. florum was previously shown to result in the acidification of the ATCC 1161 growth medium, causing changes in the absorbance of phenol red at 560 nm that correlate with the number CFUs (Matteau et al, 2015). To calculate doubling times, linear regressions (R2 > 0.999) were traced on the linear portion of the OD560 nm curves, and the amount of time separating each dilution curve was calculated according to the linear regression equations.

According to the criteria identified by Dominici et al. (2006) (link), cells were characterized by testing their plastic adherence, the immunophenotype and the multipotency.
For immunophenotyping, 2.5×105 cells were stained for 45 min with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated antibodies (Becton-Dickinson) against: HLA-DR, CD14, CD19, CD34, CD45, CD73, CD90, and CD105.
For differentiation assay, cells were induced toward osteocytes and adipocytes using STEMPRO® Osteogenesis and Adipogenesis Kits (GIBCO, Invitrogen), respectively (Orciani et al., 2013 (link)). Osteogenic differentiation was assessed by Alizarin Red staining after 10 days of induction; adipogenic differentiation was tested by Oil Red staining after 15 days of induction. Cells cultured in MSCGM alone were used as negative controls. For the quantification, Alizarin Red was detached by incubating with 10% cetylpyridinium chloride for 30 min at RT, then optical density was measured and quantified through a plate reader (Multiskan GO microplate reader, Thermo Fisher Scientific).

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.
