Wild-type female C57BL/6 mice (6 weeks old) were obtained from the Laboratory Animal Center of Southern Medical University. Mice were randomly divided into four groups (n = 4/group) as follows: (1) intraperitoneal saline + DMSO, (2) intraperitoneal saline + SB216763 (20 mg/kg) (Selleck, Houston, TX, USA) dissolved in DMSO, (3) intraperitoneal saline + SB3CT (20 mg/kg) (Selleck, Houston, TX, USA) dissolved in DMSO, and (4) intraperitoneal saline + SB3CT (20 mg/kg) + SB216763 (20 mg/kg) dissolved in DMSO. To establish a pulmonary tuberculosis model, mice were injected H37Rv intraperitoneally with 1 × 106 CFU/mouse on day 0. SB216763-treated mice were administered with saline + SB216763 dissolved in DMSO intravenously at day 0 and then intraperitoneally twice a week until day 28. SB3CT-treated mice were intraperitoneally injected with saline + SB3CT dissolved in DMSO daily until day 28. The control group was injected with saline + DMSO as vehicle control. The mice were sacrificed on days 7 and 28, and lung and spleen tissues were grinded for CFU assay. The supernatant of lung and spleen tissue grinding was used to detect the expression of MMP-9 by ELISA assay.

HCC cells were seeded in complete medium as described in Section 2.4.1. On the 2nd and 3rd days after seeding, cells were treated with 0.1μM MMP-2 inhibitor (SB-3CT; Selleckchem, Houston, TX, USA). Simultaneously with the second SB-3CT treatment, scratching was performed, and cells were grown in medium enriched with only 1% FBS to minimize cell proliferation (protocol 9, Figure S1). Images were acquired as in Section 2.4.4.

CRISPR-Engineered Fibrosis Mouse Model

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Animal maintenance and intervention were approved by the Animal Care Committee of Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. The genetic background of transgenic mice was 129. The animal model constructed by CRISPR/Cas9 technology was Col4a3 C1615Y transgenic mice. This missense mutation corresponds to amino acid number 1616 in humans and was first found in an FSGS family receiving renal biopsy in our department. Protein sequence alignment verified the corresponding mutation to C1615Y in model mice. There were 4 mice in each group. Mice were bred with standard rodent chow food. Male mice were used in the experiments, and the weight difference was less than 10%. All mice received treatment at 8 weeks. MMP-2 inhibitor, SB-3CT (Selleckchem, USA) was administrated intraperitoneally for 6 days before sacrifice at the dosage of 50 mg/kg; NOX4 inhibitor, GKT137831 (Selleckchem, USA) was administrated gavage for 28 days before sacrifice at the dosage of 60 mg/kg. All animal experiments were approved by the Ethics Committee of Ruijin Hospital.

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.
