Colitis Induction and Rottlerin Treatment in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
WT mice (male, ten weeks old) were randomly allocated to three groups (the normal group, the vehicle group, which received only DSS (dextran sulfate sodium), and the treatment group, which received DSS + rottlerin) with 10 mice per group. DSS was dissolved in drinking water, the colitis was induced by DSS (MP Biomedicals, Cat #: 160110) for 2 (which was not certified by peer review) is the author/funder. All rights reserved.

circulations. For the first circulation, DSS was administered for 4 days, and then normal drinking water was given for another 10 days; based on previous reports [19] , the oral administration of rottlerin (100 mg/kg, Sigma Aldrich, Cat #: R5648) began after the administration of DSS in the first circulation [20] . rottlerin was dissolved as a suspension in 0.9% NaCl (Sigma Aldrich, Cat #: 793566) and orally administered once daily until the end of the second circulation (the steps of the second circulation were the same as those of the first).
After 4 weeks, the mice were humanely sacrificed and the entire colon of each mouse was collected.

Subcellular Localization of Au-shRNA Nanocarriers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HepG2 cells were plated (1 × 106 cells per well) on a laser confocal culture dish, and the cells were first pretreated with various endocytosis inhibitors for about 1 h, then, gold salt and shRNA were added sequentially and incubated with the cells for 6 h. The concentrations of the inhibitors was as follows: 37 mg/mL methyl-β-cyclodextrin, 10 μg/mL chlorpromazine, 10 mg/mL rottlerin, 200 μg/mL genistein, and 5 μg/mL filipin III (Sigma-Aldrich, MO, USA). After 6 h of co-incubation, the HepG2 cells were washed three times with PBS and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 30 min. The cell nucleus was stained with DAPI (Beyotime, Shanghai, China). Finally, a confocal microscope was used to image the sample with 488 nm (Leica, Wetzlar, Germany).
To observe the subcellular localization of Au–shRNA NCs, gold salt and the shRNA were co-incubated with HepG2 cells at 37 °C for 12 h. The specific experimental process was the same as that above-mentioned. Endosomes and lysosomes were labeled by Lysotracker Red for 30 min and washed with PBS (three times), followed by nuclei staining with DAPI for 3 min. The images were obtained by confocal microscopy (Leica, Wetzlar, Germany).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The human PaCa cell lines employed were obtained from American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA, USA). PANC-1 and MIAPaCa-2 cells were cultured in DMEM/F12 supplemented with 10% FBS. All media contain penicillin and streptomycin (100 units/ml). Cells were maintained at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2/95% air, and were used between passages 4 and 15. Rottlerin was purchased from (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), dissolved in DMSO and directly added to the cell cultures at indicated concentrations (μM). Control cells were treated with DMSO alone.

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.
