Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DNA transfection was performed using the FuGENE HD Transfection Reagent (Roche) according to the manufacturer’s instructions; each transfection was normalized using corresponding vector plasmids. At 24 h posttransfection, the cells were harvested and treated with TNF-α (10 ng/ml; Sigma), LPS (1 µg/ml; Sigma), or MG-132 (20 µmol/liter; Alexis). For treatment with Geldanamycin (GA), the cells were incubated with 10 µM Geldanamycin (Sigma) or with 0.1% DMSO vehicle for the indicated times. For the luciferase assay, cells were cotransfected with plasmids indicated in the figures, luciferase reporter vectors, and the Renilla luciferase reporter, pTK-Renilla-Luc (Promega, Madison, WI), which served as an internal control for transfection efficiency. Luciferase activity was measured by the Dual-luciferase assay system (Promega) according to the protocol recommended by the manufacturer. The luciferase assay was performed in triplicate, and the results are shown as means ± standard error (SE).

The rats were randomized into eight groups (n = 20 per group). (1) Sham group: rats underwent thoracotomy, passing the ligature through the heart but without tying it (150 min). (2) I/R group: 30 min of ischemia and followed by 2 h of reperfusion. (3) IPostC group: 30 s of ischemia altered with 30 s of reperfusion, repeated for three cycles, and followed by reperfusion for 2 h. (4) MP group: I/R followed by morphine administration (0.3 mg/kg [18 (link)] IV bolus; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) 10 min before the beginning of reperfusion and then reperfused for 2 h. (5) MP + GA group: administration of the HSP90 inhibitor geldanamycin (GA, 1 mg/kg [19 (link)] IP; Sigma-Aldrich). (6) MP + GSK group: administration of the Akt inhibitor GSK-690693 (GSK, 20 mg/kg [20 (link)] IP; Med Chem Express, NJ, USA). (7) MP + PMX group: administration of the C5a inhibitor-PMX 205 (PMX, 1 mg/kg/day [21 (link)], administration for 28 days via drinking water; Med Chem Express, NJ, USA).

Chloroplast Transporter Activity Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Intact chloroplasts from 10 g of 12-day-old PsbO11–85GFP seedlings were isolated and resuspended in HMS buffer containing 10 μM chymostatin (BioShop) to inhibit serine proteases. Chloroplasts (0.2 mg ml–1 chlorophyll) were incubated at 25 °C under 120 μmol m−2 s−1 white light or in the dark (wrapped by aluminum foil) for 12–60 min. Transport in the dark was induced by adding 5 mM Mg-ATP (BioShop) to intact chloroplasts. Reactions were stopped using HMS buffer containing EDTA to a final concentration of 10 mM. Alternatively, transport assays were conducted in the presence of 10 mM sodium azide, 10 μM geldanamycin (Sigma, G3381), 10 μM 3-(3,4-dichloro-phenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (DCMU; Sigma-Aldrich), or 12 μM 2,5-dibromo-6-isopropyl-3-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone (DBMIB; Sigma-Aldrich). DCMU and DBMIB were prepared as 1000-fold concentrated stocks in 95% ethanol prior to dilution in H2O just prior to use.

bes1-2 (Lachowiec et al., 2013 (link)), bzr1-2 (GABI_857E04), beh3-1 (SALK_017577), and beh4-1 (SAIL_750_F08) are in the Col-0 background. beh1-1 (SAIL_40_D04) and beh2-1 (SAIL_76_B06) are in the Col-3 background.
For hypocotyl length assays, seeds were sterilized for 10 min in 70% ethanol, 0.01% Triton X-100, followed by 5 min of 95% ethanol. After sterilization, seeds were suspended in 0.1% agarose and spotted on plates containing 0.5× Murashige Minimal Organics Medium and 0.8% bactoagar. Seeds on plates were then stratified in the dark at 4°C for 3 days and then transferred to an incubator cycling between 22°C for 16 h and 20°C for 8 h to imitate long days. Plate position was changed every 24 h to minimize position effect for light grown seedlings. Racks of plates containing dark-grown seedlings were wrapped in foil. For HSP90-inhibitor assays, 1 μM geldanamycin (Sigma) was added to the medium. An equivalent volume of the solvent DMSO was used for a control.

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.
