The human renal proximal tubular epithelial cell line HK-2 was cultured in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium: Nutrient Mixture F-12 (DMEM/F12, Fujifilm Wako Chemical Co., Osaka, Japan) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Biosera, Inc., Nuaille, France) and 1% penicillin–streptomycin, as previously described [34 ]. Cells were treated with 0–50 µmol/L cisplatin in low-glucose DMEM containing 0.1 mg/mL human serum albumin for 6 h. The medium was then replaced with fresh medium with or without 0.1–0.2 μmol/L CDDO-Me (Sigma-Aldrich Co., St. Louis, MO, USA). The cells were treated with 5 or 50 µmol/L of the caspase inhibitor, Ac-DEVD-CHO (Selleckchem, Houston, TX, USA), for 60 min before adding CDDO-Me to the medium. Cells were cultured for 24–72 h, and proteins or mRNA were extracted at the indicated points.

Purified monocytes were re-suspended in RPMI media(See above) and plated the same as PBMCs. PBMCs and monocytes were treated with CDDO-Me(bardoxolone methyl)(Sigma-Aldrich, SMB00376), Vehicle (0.00005% DMSO), Compound 7 [21 (link)], or Vehicle (0.001% DMSO) for 1 hour before stimulation with 5 ng/mL of Lipopolysaccheride (LPS) (Sigma-Aldrich, L2630) or IL-6 (50 ng/mL, Peprotech, 200–06). At indicated times post-stimulation, plates were centrifuged at 500 x g for 5 minutes and supernatants were collected. Cell pellets were subjected to protein or RNA analysis (See below).

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.
