Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
TGF-β signaling was inhibited in live embryos by introducing the indicated concentration of SB505124 (Selleckchem, solubilized in DMSO) directly into their growth media at 52 hpf. For inhibition of Ctsk, embryos were also treated with the indicated concentration of Odanacatib (Selleckchem, solubilized in DMSO) at 52 hpf. Embryos were treated for 1–2 days. In all cases, WT control embryos were treated with an equivalent amount of DMSO (0.1%). For all treatment experiments, embryos were staged and synchronized by age within the first hours after fertilization and again before 24 hpf.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the treatment of KYSE30 and KYSE450 cells, recombinant TGFβ1 (R&D, Minneapolis, MN, USA) was used at a final concentration of 10 ng·mL−1 unless otherwise specified. TNFα (PeproTech, Suzhou, China) was used at a final concentration of 10 ng·mL−1. Treatment periods were 24 h unless otherwise specified. We used 10 μm SB505124 and 10 μm JSH‐23 (Selleck, Houston, TX, USA) to inhibit TGFβ signaling and NF‐κB signaling, respectively. These inhibitors were administered to the cells 30 min before any other treatments. In addition, 5 µm MK‐2206 2HCI (Selleck) was used to inhibit Akt phosphorylation selectively for 24 h. CAF were treated with 10 ng·mL−1 recombinant CXCL1 (PeproTech) for 24 h. SB225002 (Selleck) was added 1 h prior to inhibiting CXCL1/CXCR2.

Osteoclast Differentiation from Mouse Bone Marrow

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Bone marrow cells derived from WT mice or CX3CR1-EGFP/TRAP-tdTomato mice were cultured with 10 ng/mL M-CSF (R&D Systems) in α-MEM containing 10% fetal calf serum for 3 days. Then bone marrow macrophages were cultured for 3 days in the presence of 50 ng/mL RANKL (PeproTech) and 10 ng/mL M-CSF to induce differentiation into osteoclasts58 (link). Human/mouse recombinant activin A (R&D Systems), mouse recombinant SFRP2 (R&D Systems), and mouse recombinant IGF2 (R&D Systems) were added at the concentrations indicated in Figure legends. Nuclei were stained with DAPI (D523; Dojindo Molecular Technologies, Kumamoto, Japan). To evaluate the inhibition of activin A-mediated osteoclast differentiation, the ALK4 inhibitor SB505124 (#S2186; Selleck Chemicals, Houston, TX, USA) was added at a concentration of 10 μM; 0.005% DMSO was used as vehicle control.

The 1205Lu, WM9, WM793, WM164, WM983A and 451Lu melanoma cells lines and FF2504, FF2507 and FF2447 human primary skin fibroblasts were a gift from Dr. Meenhard Herlyn (The Wistar Institute, Philadelphia, PA). WM9-GFP was from Dr. Peter Forsyth (Moffitt Cancer Center, Tampa, FL). The identities of all cell lines were confirmed by Biosynthesis Inc (Lewisville, Tx) through STR validation analysis. Cell lines were maintained in 5% FBS/RPMI-1640. Conditioned media was prepared by adding fresh media to 1205Lu cells for 48 hrs in the presence of vehicle or 3 μM vemurafenib. Then the media was collected and diluted 1:1 with fresh media, matching the concentrations of drugs/vehicle. SB505124 was obtained from Selleck Chemicals (Houston, TX).

A total of seven cell lines, including six ESCC cell lines (KYSE30, KYSE70, KYSE150, KYSE180, KYSE450, and KYSE510) and the immortalized normal human esophageal epithelial cell line Het-1a, were used in this study. The cell lines were cultured as described previously [17 (link)]. We confirmed cell line identities by matching the short-tandem repeat (STR) profile of each line to the registered information in the DSMZ online STR database. TNF-α and IL-1β were purchased from Peprotech (USA) and used at a concentration of 10 ng/ml, and TGF-β1 was purchased from R&D (USA) and used at a concentration of 5 ng/ml. The treatment time was 24 h unless otherwise specified. To inhibit TGF-β and NF-κB signaling, we added 10 μM JSH-23 (Selleck, USA) or 5 μM SB505124 (Selleck, USA) to the cell culture media 30 min prior to the specified treatments.
Full-length NKILA cDNA was compounded by Generay (Shanghai, China) and ligated into a pCDH-CMV-MCS-EF1-GFP + Puro (CD513B-1) vector. Non-targeting control shRNA and two shRNAs against NKILA (sh1 and sh2, respectively) were obtained from OBiO (Shanghai, China). The transfection and lentivirus packaging were performed as described previously [17 (link)].

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.
