Sphingosine-1-phosphate, U46619, and Y-27632 were purchased from Cayman Chemical Company (Ann Arbor, MI, USA). Fasudil hydrochloride, albumin, and all other drugs and chemicals used in the present study were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). Stock solutions were made by dissolving the chemicals in 0.3 N sodium hydroxide (S1P), in 5% charcoal treated albumin (S1P), DMSO (U46619), distilled water (Y-27632, fasudil), or isotonic salt solution (PE, ACh).

Fasudil Hydrochloride Cytotoxicity Evaluation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After resuspending the cryovial contents in 1 mL of cell culture media, 50 μL of cell suspension was placed into each well of round bottom 96 well plates (Sarstedt). Fasudil hydrochloride (Sigma) solutions were then prepared at 2× the desired concentration in cell culture media and sterile filtered with a 0.22 μm syringe filter (Fisher Scientific). 50 μL was added to each well. The final fasudil concentration used varied from 40 μM to 1.25 μM. Cells were then incubated at 37 °C and 5% CO2 for 4 h (timepoint selected after performing optimisation experiments). The plate was subsequently centrifuged at 300g and the media was changed to regular cell culture media (see ESI). Cell health assessments (such as cell recovery) were performed 24 hours post-thaw. The minimum number of technical replicates per condition was 3.

Conditional Genetic Manipulation in Mice

All mouse experiments were reviewed and approved by the Yale University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) and the ethical committee of the CHU Sainte-Justine Research Centre. Alk5flox, Smad2flox, Smad3flox (kindly provided by M. Matzuk), Smad4flox, β-Cateninflox(ex3) and mT/mG reporter mice (Muzumdar et al., 2007 (link)) were crossed with Cdh5CreERT2 mice (kindly provided by R. Adams), R26CreERT2 (Ventura et al., 2007 (link)), or Mfsd2aCreERT2 (Pu et al., 2018 (link)) mice. To induce postnatal gene deletion, mice were injected intragastrically with 100μg of tamoxifen (TAM) (Sigma, T5648; 25 mg/ml in corn oil) for three consecutive days and analyzed as indicated. TAM-treated, Cre-negative littermates were used as controls. For lineage tracing studies using the Mfsd2aCreERT2 line the mice received 100μg of TAM 24 h prior to sacrifice. The ROCK inhibitor Fasudil-Hydrochloride (CDS021620, Sigma) was dissolved in sterile PBS and injected intraperitoneally (20ug/g). The cell-cycle inhibitors Palbociclib (PD 0332991 isethionate, PZ0199, Sigma) was dissolved in NaLactate and administered intragastrically daily (50μg/g), while Mitomycin C (AC226940020, Fisher Scientific) was dissolved in sterile H2O and administered intraperitoneally once at P7 (20ul/g).

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.
