Human keratinocyte HaCaT cells were obtained from the Cell Lines Service (Eppelheim, Germany). Human primary neonatal keratinocyte HEKn cells were purchased from ThermoFisher Scientific Korea (Seoul, Korea). HaCaT cells were maintained in DMEM medium (1.8 mM CaCl2) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (HyClone, Logan, UT, USA) and HEKn cells were cultured in EpiLife medium supplemented with Human Keratinocyte Growth Supplement (HKGS) (ThermoFisher Scientific Korea). Agerarin was isolated as described previously [15 (link)]. 2,4-Dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) was obtained from Sigma–Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). TNFα and IFNγ were obtained from Prospec-Tany Technogene Ltd. (Ness-Ziona, Israel). The hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stain kit and toluidine blue dye were obtained from Sigma–Aldrich. The Firefly Luciferase Assay System was from Promega (Madison, WI, USA). Antibodies against phospho-JAK1 (Y1034/1035), JAK1, phospho-JAK2 (Y1007/1008), JAK2, phospho-STAT3 (Y705), and STAT3 were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology (Beverly, MA, USA).Antibodies against FLG and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) were obtained from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Dallas, TX, USA). Anti-FLG antibody for immunofluorescent staining was from BioLegend (San Diego, CA, USA).

Ultrastructural Analysis of Utricles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Temporal bones were dissected, and a small hole in the temporal bone was generated adjacent to the oval window. Fixative (2% paraformaldehyde/3% glutaraldehyde in 0.1 M sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.4) was injected into the hole, and temporal bones were immersion-fixed overnight at 4°C. Utricles were removed, and the otoconial membrane and otoconia were dissected away. Utricles were post-fixed in 1% osmium tetroxide and embedded in Eponate 12 Kit with DMP-30 (Ted Pella Inc., Redding, CA). Semi-thin sections (2 µm) were mounted onto gel-coated slides and stained with toluidine blue dye [Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO)]. Sections were imaged using a Zeiss Axioplan microscope (Zeiss, Jena, Germany).

Toluidine Blue Staining of IL-1β and Genistein Treated Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary NPCs were treated with different concentrations of IL-1β and/or Genistein for the indicated time. Cells were then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for 15-20 min and stained with toluidine blue dye (Sigma-Aldrich, MO, USA) for 2-4 h. The remaining dye was washed off with 95 % ethanol, then cells were rinsed with PBS, sealed, and observed by microscopy.

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.
