NRK-52E cells (ATCC, Manassas, VA) were cultured and prepared as previously described17 (link). Cells were treated with human recombinant prorenin (Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI) at 0, 10, 20, 40, 80, and 100 pmol/L for 24 h or 100 pmol/L for 0, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h after preincubation with the Ang II type 1 receptor blocker losartan (10 μmol/L) (Sigma, San Francisco, CA,) or the Ang II type 2 receptor blocker PD123319 (10 μmol/L) (Sigma, San Francisco, CA) for 1 h.
The cells were treated with bafilomycin A1 (1 nmol/L, Sigma-Aldrich), losartan (10 μmol/L), and PD123319 (10 μmol/L) for 1 h before prorenin (100 pmol/L) incubation for 48 h to evaluate the effects of the V-ATPase inhibitor bafilomycin A1 on prorenin-induced FN and α-SMA expression in NRK52E cells. Cells were harvested and used in MTT (3-(4, 5-dimethyl (thiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) cell viability, immunoblotting, real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and immunofluorescence assays.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Experiment was conducted with five groups (n=8 for each group).
Group 1 was control rats received saline. Group 2 was MCT-induced PH rats. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 200–220 g received a single subcutaneous injection of 50 mg/kg MCT (Sigma-Aldrich Co., St Louis, MO) to induce PH. Group 3 was MCT-induced PH rats pretreated with Ang-(1-9) (Bachem, Switzerland). Ang-(1-9) was infused 3 days before MCT injection for 24 days at a dose of 576 µg/kg/day via a mini-osmotic pumps (Alzet 2004, Cupertino, CA) implanted subcutaneously between the scapulars [10 (link)]. Three days after the start of Ang-(1-9) infusion, MCT was injected. Groups 4 and 5 were MCT-induced PH rats pretreated with Ang-(1-9) in the presence of AT2R or Mas R antagonist. Either PD 123,319 (576 µg/kg/day; Sigma-Aldrich Co.) [3 (link)] or A779 (576 µg/kg/day; Bachem) [10 (link)] was infused via miniosmotic pumps 2 days before the start of Ang-(1-9) infusion, and Ang-(1-9) was then co-administered 2 days later. Three days after the start of Ang-(1-9) infusion, MCT was injected. All rats were sacrificed 21 days after MCT injection.

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.
