Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
LLC-PK1 cells (ATCC) were maintained in minimum essential medium (MEM) supplemented with 3% FBS. Mouse renal PTCs were developed as previously described (54 (link)). Cells were maintained at 33°C in DMEM/F-12 containing 2.5% FBS and IFN-γ and then transferred to 37°C for differentiation before use (54 (link)). The HEK293T (ATCC) cells were maintained in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS. Cells were treated with AA (2.5–5 μg/mL; Sigma-Aldrich, A5512), PAC (10 μM; Sigma-Aldrich, T7402), or respective vehicles in complete medium for 48 hours. Primary PTCs were isolated from WT mice or CG1-KO mice as described previously (55 (link)). In brief, kidney cortex was minced, digested with collagenase (Worthington Biochemical Corporation) and trypsin inhibitor (Worthington Biochemical Corporation), and centrifuged in 32% Percoll medium to purify PTCs. Primary PTCs were then plated in collagen-coated dishes and maintained in DMEM/F-12 medium supplemented with insulin, transferrin, selenium, 0.05 μM hydrocortisone, and 50 μM vitamin C. To avoid changes in PTC phenotype due to repeated passages, these cells were plated as soon as they became confluent for experiments. Primary PTCs were treated with AA at a concentration of 5 to 10 μg/mL for the times indicated.

Screening for PTHR1 Agonists Using Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To identify small-molecule agonists of PTHR1, we used a cell-based high-throughput screening method employing LLC-PK1 cells (ATCC) expressing hPTHR1 (HKRK-B7 cells) and using urokinase-type plasminogen activator expression as a readout40 (link). The hit compounds found from our compound library were then evaluated for their ability to increase cAMP in HKRK-B7 cells. Parental LLC-PK1 cells, which express porcine calcitonin receptors but not hPTHR1, were used as a negative control. The hit compounds were optimized for potency and other properties such as solubility and metabolic stability to identify a lead compound possessing in vitro and in vivo activities similar to that of hPTH(1–34). This compound was further optimized to improve oral bioavailability to yield a clinical candidate compound, PCO371.

PDCoV isolates NT1_1215 (accession number KX361345) and PEDV isolate P1915-NPF-071511A (accession number KX981900) were used in the study. These two viruses were isolated from two pig herds experiencing PDCoV and PEDV outbreaks.
LLC-PK1 cells (ATCC CL-101) and Vero C1008 cells (ATCC CRL-1586) were used to propagate PDCoV and PEDV, respectively. Vero C1008 and LLC-PK1 cells were maintained using growth medium (Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM; Gibco, USA) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS; Gibco, USA) for virus propagation. At 80% confluency, growth medium was discarded, and the cells were washed twice with 1X PBS (1X phosphate-buffered saline; 0.1 M, pH 7.2) followed by maintenance medium (DMEM (Gibco, USA) supplemented with 8 µg/ml trypsin/EDTA (Gibco, USA)). Each virus was added into each cell line and incubated at 37 °C with 5% CO2 for 60 min. After incubation, the inoculated cells were washed twice with 1X PBS. A maintenance medium was added to the inoculated cells, and the cells were incubated at 37 °C with 5% CO2 until a cytopathic effect (CPE) was observed.

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.
