Sodium mevalonate

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

Sodium mevalonate is an organic compound that is used as a precursor in the synthesis of various chemical compounds. It is a key intermediate in the mevalonate pathway, which is involved in the biosynthesis of important metabolites such as cholesterol, steroid hormones, and various isoprenoids. Sodium mevalonate is commonly used in research and laboratory settings as a building block for the production of these important biomolecules.

Cells were plated in 96-well plates at a density of 2.5 × 104 cells/well. After 18 h culture, cells were treated with or without 5, 10, or 20 μmol/L HMF with lipid depletion (LD) medium contained a 1:1 mixture of Ham's F-12 medium (GIBCO, USA) and DMEM supplemented with 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 μg/mL streptomycin sulfate, 5% lipoprotein-deficient serum (Kalen Biomedical, USA), 10 μmol/L compactin (Aladdin), and 50 μmol/L sodium mevalonate (Sigma, USA) for another 18 h. The luciferase activity was measured using luciferase assay kit (Promega, USA) and normalized by the concentration of total proteins using Enhanced BCA Protein Assay Reagent (Beyotime, China).

Human adrenocortical carcinoma (SW13) cells (kindly provided by Ali Mirazimi, National Veterinary Institute, Sweden) were maintained in Leibovitz-15 (L-15) medium supplemented with 5% fetal calf serum (FCS; L-15–5) and incubated at 37 °C without CO2. Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K1 and SRD-12B cells were a generous gift from J. L. Goldstein (Rawson et al., 1998 (link)). CHO-K1 cells were grown in DMEM nutrient mixture F12 Ham (GIBCO) supplemented with 10% FCS, 100 units/ml penicillin, and 0.1 mg/ml streptomycin. SRD-12B cells were maintained as CHO-K1 cells with the addition of 5 μg/ml cholesterin (Sigma-Aldrich), 1 mM sodium mevalonate (Sigma-Aldrich), and 20 μM sodium oleate (Sigma-Aldrich). Both cell lines were incubated at 37 °C and 5% CO2.
The NSDV isolate (Ganjam virus IG619; hereafter referred to as NSDV; GenBank accession number: KU925466, KU925465, KU925464) used in this study was grown on SW13 cells and has been described previously (Hartlaub et al., 2021 ). All work with live virus were performed under BSL3-conditions at the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut.

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.
