Coibamide A was re-isolated from material collected by hand using SCUBA from Coiba National Park, Panama, and apratoxin A was isolated from a laboratory culture of a Red Sea strain of Moorea producens [33 (link),60 (link)]. Rapamycin, thapsigargin, and tunicamycin were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Corp. (St. Louis, MO, USA). Oligomycin A was from Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc. (Santa Cruz, CA, USA) and Z-VAD-fmk from ApexBio (Houston, TX, USA). All compounds were reconstituted in 100% cell culture grade DMSO and stored at −20 °C until the day of treatment. The final concentration of DMSO was 0.1% for all studies. General laboratory reagents were from Sigma-Aldrich Corp. or VWR International (Radnor, PA, USA). Primary and secondary antibodies were commercial sources and used according to recommended protocols. Codes for primary antibodies from Cell Signaling Technology, Inc. (Danvers, MA, USA) were as follows: LC3A/B (#4108), ATG5 (D5F5U; #12994) as conjugated ATG5-ATG12, CHOP (#5554), BiP/GRP78 (#3177), acetyl-CoA carboxylase (#3676), GAPDH (#5174), alpha-tubulin (#2125), beta-actin (#4970S), caspase-3 (#9662S), and PARP-1 (#9532). Anti-SQSTM1/p62 (#ab91526) was from Abcam (Cambridge, MA, USA) and a second anti-ATG5 (N-term; #AP1812a) antibody was from Abgent, San Diego, CA, USA.

The recollection and isolation of natural product mandelalides from Algoa Bay, South Africa and total syntheses of mandelalides A and L have been described previously [4 (link),9 (link),60 (link)]. NMR data for mandelalides tested here are included in [4 (link)] (natural products) and 61 (synthetic products), and were acquired at the start of this study; integrity of all mandelalide compounds was also routinely confirmed by LC-MS. Oligomycin A was purchased from Santa Cruz Biotech (Dallas, TX, USA). Dorsomorphin was purchased from Abcam (Cambridge, UK). Paclitaxel and salinosporamide A (marizomib) were purchased from Sigma Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). Erlotinib was purchased from Enzo Life Sciences (Farmingdale, NY, USA). All chemicals were reconstituted in 100% DMSO, aliquoted and stored in amber borosilicate glass vials at −20 °C for use in biological studies. Cell culture-grade DMSO was used as the vehicle for all treatments, and final concentrations of DMSO for in vitro experiments never exceeded 0.1%. Primary and secondary antibodies were from Cell Signaling Technology, Inc. (Danvers, MA, USA). Specific codes were as follows: AMPK (#5831), pAMPKα T172 (#50081), ACC (#3676), pACC S79 (#11818) and GAPDH (#5174). General laboratory reagents were from VWR International (Radnor, PA, USA).

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Ischemic Neuronal Rescue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HBO should be applied within 3–6 h when the ischemic neuronal tissues can still be saved16 (link). Due to possible toxicity of oxygen, the duration of HBO sessions should ranges from 60 to 90 minutes and the oxygen pressure should not exceed 3 ATA, whereby the most used pressure range from 1.5 to 3 ATA16 (link). In our study rats were exposed to HBO at 2 ATA for 60 min in a research hyperbaric chamber (1300B; Sechrist) at the onset of reperfusion. Compression and decompression were maintained at a rate of 5 psi/min. NAD+(Sigma-Aldrich), ATP synthase inhibitor Oligomycin A (Olig A, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), or NAMPT inhibitor FK866 (Tocris Bioscience) was administrated 30 min before HBO treatment. The vehicle group was given 5% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, Sigma-Aldrich). Based on previous reports indicating that NAD+ administered intraperitoneally at a dosage from 50 mg/kg to 200 mg/kg have beneficial cytoprotective effects, we used 100 mg/kg, which turn out to be effective in our model17 (link), 18 (link). 10 mg/kg of FK866, NAMPT inhibitor, was administrated intraperitoneally as previously described19 (link); Sirt1 siRNAs was administrated intralateroventricularlly20 (link) and Olig A was administrated 1 mg/ml i.p21 (link).

Preparation and Characterization of BDQ Inhibitor

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The growth of the yeast, the purification of the enzyme, and the preparation of the nanodiscs were described earlier15 . TMC207-fumarate was a provided by Janssen Pharmaceutica and from the NIH AIDS Reagent Program. BDQ was dissolved in methanol and aliquoted into microcentrifuge tubes and the methanol was removed under vacuum. The dried BDQ sample was stored desiccated under nitrogen or argon, in a sealed bag at 4 °C. The sample was dissolved either in methanol (ATPase experiments) or DMSO (ATP synthesis experiments) and added to the sample for assay. Any remaining sample was discarded. Oligomycin A (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA) was dissolved in methanol at a concentration of 1–10 mg/ml and stored at −20 °C. For the inhibition assays, the samples were incubated for 5 min with the inhibitor in the reaction buffer at the stated assay temperature just prior to starting the reaction with substrate.

All synthetic mandelalide compounds were reconstituted in cell culture grade DMSO (100 %) and stored at −20 °C until the day of treatment; final concentrations of DMSO never exceeded 0.1%. 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) was from Sigma-Aldrich Corp. (St. Louis, MO) and oligomycin A from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc. (Dallas, TX). General cell culture supplies were from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, MA) or Sigma-Aldrich.

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.
