The IOMM-Lee high-grade meningioma cell line was obtained from ATCC (CRL-3370). Cells were grown in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 units/mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin. Cpd22® (Merck Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA) was dissolved in DMSO to prepare the drug solution. Cells were cultured in a CO2 incubator under standard conditions of 5% CO2, 95% humidity, and 37 °C temperature. Once the cells reached the desired confluency (70–80%), the cells were cleared by trypsinization and transferred to new culture vessels for maintenance.

Meningioma Primary Cell Inhibition Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The primary cells were procured from the Tissue Bank, Imperial College London. The primary cells were seeded from surgically resected tissues of meningioma patients. The cells were passaged prior to freezing in liquid Nitrogen for long term storage. The cells were taken out and revived in DMEM-F12 media. However, owing to the slow growth (doubling time was nearly 50 h) the cells were moved to Waymouth media supplemented with 20% FBS. For the inhibition assay cells were passaged in 6 well plates in triplicates and treated with 2.5 μM of ILK inhibitor namely Cpd22, Merck Millipore. The cells were seeded in two batches “Untreated” (No drug) and “Treated” (With Drug). The treatment was carried out for 24 h. Post-treatment the cells were pelleted down and further taken forward for RNA extraction.

Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Isolated Hearts

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All hearts were subjected to a 20-min stabilization period, 30-min regional ischemia, and 30-min reperfusion. The hearts were randomly divided into individual groups, a sham group, I/R group, and I/R with reagent treatment group. In the sham group, the suture was not tightened and hearts were perfused constantly with KHS for 80 min without any treatment. In the I/R group, the hearts were stabilized for 20 min, then the LAD was occluded for 30 min to induce regional ischemia, followed by 30-min reperfusion with KHS. The reagents included ILK agonist L-α-phosphatidyl-D-myo-inositol 3,4,5-triphosphate,dioctanoyl (LPTP) (10−7 M) (Sigma, St. Louis, MO), ILK inhibitor Cpd22 (6 × 10−7 M) (Millipore, St Charles, MO), and the Akt inhibitor MK2206 (7 × 10−8 M) (Selleckchem, Houston, TX). Reagents were dissolved in KHS and infused before inducing ischemia. When an inhibitor and agonist were infused into the same isolated heart, the inhibitor was introduced 10 min before the agonist.

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.
