Pi3k inhibitor wortmannin

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in France, United States

Wortmannin is a PI3K (Phosphoinositide 3-kinase) inhibitor, a small molecule compound that targets and inhibits the activity of the PI3K enzyme. PI3K is an important signaling protein involved in various cellular processes. Wortmannin can be used as a tool compound in research applications to study the role of PI3K in biological systems.

Cocultures were initiated by seeding ASCs in 96-well plates. MNCs were coseeded 18-24 h later, for 24-48 h, in the presence or absence of phytohemagglutinin (PHA) (5 mg/mL, Sigma-Aldrich), or anti-CD3/CD28 monoclonal antibodies (5 mg/mL; ImmunoTools, Friesoythe, Germany). Neutralizing anti-IL-6-receptor antibodies (Tocilizumab, Chugai PHArma France, Paris, France); anti-IL-1b monoclonal antibodies (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN); caspase inhibitor Z-YVAD-fluoromethylketone (Z-YVAD-fmk; MBL-International, Nanterre, France); PI3K inhibitor Wortmannin (Sigma-Aldrich); STAT3 Inhibitor-VI, S3I-201 (sc-204304; Santa Cruz Biotechnology); or anti-intracellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 monoclonals (Beckman Coulter, Villepinte, France) were added to cocultures as indicated in the figure legends. Caspase-1 activity was measured using a caspase-1 colorimetric assay kit (BioVision, Milpitas, CA) following the manufacturer's instructions.

Modulating miR-126 to Prevent Endothelial Damage

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
According to the damage H/R model of endothelial cells, this experiment was divided into 8 groups: the control group, the H/R group (exposed to H/R), the miR-126 mimic group (miR-126 mimic+ H/R), the mimic-negative control (NC) group (mimic-NC + H/R), the miR-126 inhibitor group (miR-126 inhibitor + H/R), the inhibitor-NC group (inhibitor-NC + H/R), wortmannin group (PI3K inhibitor + H/R) and the miR-126 mimic + wortmannin group (miR-126 mimic, PI3K inhibitor + H/R). The oligonucleotide sequences was shown in Table 1 and synthesized by the Shanghai GenePharma Co., Ltd. (Shanghai, China). The transfected mixtures were configured according to the instructions of the Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen Inc., Carlsbad, California, USA) kit. The control and H/R groups were administered only culture medium without serum and double antibody. The wortmannin group and miR-126 mimic +wortmannin group both were administered50nmol/L of PI3K inhibitor wortmannin (Sigma-Aldrich Chemical Company, St Louis, Missouri, USA). The other groups were treated with liposome (Invitrogen Inc., Carlsbad, California, USA) encapsulated oligonucleotide medium (final concentration of 20µmol/L).

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.
