Klotho Modulates Fibroblast Migration via TRPC6 Signaling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A wound-healing assay was used to analyze the migration of human atrial fibroblasts treated with or without Klotho in different concentrations (10 pM and 100 pM, 48 h, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) 6 h after a cell monolayer in a six-well plate was craped with a P200 pipette tip. To explore the role of TRPC6 and intracellular signaling underlying the effects of Klotho in fibroblasts activity, we evaluated the migration in control, Klotho 100 pM-treated, BI-749327 1 μM (selective TRPC6 inhibitor, MedChemExpress, Monmouth Junction, NJ, USA)-treated, combined Klotho and BI-749327-treated, U73122 1 μM (phospholipase C inhibitor, Abcam, Cambridge, UK)-treated and combined Klotho and U73122-treated human atrial fibroblasts for 48 h. Each gap area was assessed using the ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, USA). The net migration areas after 6 h were subtracted from that at the time of the initial scratches.

Culturing and Treating Cardiac Fibroblasts

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human atrial fibroblasts were purchased from Lonza Research Laboratory (Walkersville, MD, USA). As described previously [22 (link)], cells were seeded on uncoated culture discs as monolayers and cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Loughborough, UK) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (Hyclone, Logan, UT, USA) and 100 U/mL penicillin–streptomycin (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Loughborough, Gibco, UK) in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 at 37 °C. Cells used in this study were from passages 4–6 to avoid possible variations in cellular function. Cardiac fibroblasts treated without and with recombinant mouse FGF-23 (1, 5 or 25 ng/mL; R&D Systems, Abingdon, UK) in the presence and absence of an FGF receptor 1 antagonist (PD166866, 1 μM; Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA), a free Ca2+ chelator (EGTA, 1 mM; Sigma), or a PLC inhibitor (U73122, 1 μM; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) for 48 h were harvested for further analysis.

Plates were coated with DPBS or FHR-1 (5 μg mL−1), and 1 × 105 monocytes were added in CM containing 10% NHS with or without addition of the PLC inhibitor U73122 (10 μM, Abcam) or the NF-κB inhibitor BAY11-785 (30 μM, Sigma-Aldrich). After incubation for 20 h at 37 °C in an atmosphere containing 5% CO2, the cells were washed twice with DPBS, followed by the addition of Factor VIIa substrate (0,3 mg mL−1, Sigma-Aldrich) in DPS containing 20% NHS and Mg2+/Ca2+ (Biowest). After 5 min, absorbance was measured at 405 nm. For EMR2 blocking, an anti-EMR2 antibody (10 μg mL−1, AF4894, R&D Systems) was added, and the cells were incubated for 5 h at 37 °C. The cells were washed twice, followed by the addition of Factor VIIa substrate (0.2 mg mL−1, Sigma-Aldrich) in DPBS containing 10% NHS and Mg2+/Ca2+ (Biowest). After 85 min, absorbance was measured at 405 nm.

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.
