Cell Synchronization and Treatment Protocols

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HeLa and HEK293T cells, from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Rockville, Maryland), were routinely maintained in advanced DMEM (Invitrogen) supplemented with 10% (vol/vol) FBS (Hyclone) and penicillin-streptomycin (100 IU/ml and 100 mg/ml, respectively, GIBCO). For cell synchronization, aliquots of HeLa cells were treated with 2 mM thymidine for 16 h, which allows cells to stay in G1/S. An alternative protocol is treating cells with 100 ng/ml nocodazole for 18 h to synchronize the cells in prometaphase. For cell treatment, MG132 (Sigma) was used at 20 μM for 2 h, while the GSK3β inhibitor SB415286 (Sigma) was used at 30 μM for 15 min. For in vitro kinase assay, SB415286 was used at 30 μM.

Efficient Fucoxanthin Extraction from Sargassum

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fucoxanthin was extracted from Sargussum horneri using a series of steps, including solvent extraction, ethanol precipitation and low-temperature concentration. Briefly, fucoxanthin isolation was conducted at 30°C for 2 h with ethanol to sample ratio of 4:1 (v/w). Then the fucoxanthin-containing solution was concentrated at 25°C. Lipid and chlorophylls were precipitated when the ethanol content reached 63% in the concentrated solution. Fucoxanthin was purified by precipitation when the ethanol content reached 40% in the solution. The purity of fucoxanthin was more than 90% by HPLC, and purified fucoxanthin was stored at −20°C prior to further analysis. H2O2 was purchased from Calbiochem (San Diego, CA, USA). SB415286 was purchased from Sigma Chemicals (St Louis, MO, USA). U0126, Wortmannin and LY294002 were supplied from LC Laboratories (Woburn, MA, USA).

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.
