Antimycin A, equine heart ferric Cyt C, HSA, iodoacetamide, and Na2S nonahydrate (99.99%) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Sodium disulfide (Na2S2) was from Dojindo Molecular Technologies, and monobromobimane FluoroPure grade was from Molecular Probes (Grand Island, NY). GYY4137, AP39, and MeRho-Az were synthesized in house as described previously.35 (link),36 ,49 2-(Methylsulfonyl)-1,3-benzothiazole was from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, and CN-Cy3 was synthesized as reported previously.33 (link) Murine procaspase 9 was from Enzo Life Science. The siRNA for Cyt C was purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology. For the anaerobic experiments, buffers were purged with argon. To maintain high purity, Na2S solutions were made in an argon box by dissolving solid Na2S·9H2O into argon-purged water, as recommended.2 (link),19 (link)

Synovial Tissue Macrophage Modulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Synovial tissues were obtained from 10 OA patients (4 females and 6 males; median age was 73.3 [77.5–69.5] years old) and 10 OA-DB patients (2 females and 8 males; median age was 74.6 [83.4–65.8] years old) who underwent joint replacement surgery and gave informed consent. This study was reviewed and approved by the Local Ethics Committee. Samples were subsequently embedded in paraffin for obtaining 4 µm-thick histological section. For in vitro experiments, we used the immortalized cell line of monocytes TPH-1 that was maintained in Roswell Park Memorial Institute Medium (RPMI)-1640 (ThermoFisher, Madrid, Spain) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 2 mM l-glutamine, 100 mg/mL streptomycin, and 100 U/mL penicillin (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland). TPH-1 were differentiated into macrophages after treatment with phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA; 500 nM) (Sigma-Aldrich, St Lois, USA) for 3 h [8 (link)]. Thereafter, macrophages were incubated in RPMI-1640 2% FBS with 1 g/l glucose (normal glucose, NG) or 4.5 g/l (high glucose, HG) and stimulated with bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS; 1 ug/ml) (Sigma-Aldrich, San Luis, MO, USA), a classical inductor of M1-like macrophages [14 (link), 29 ], in the presence or absence of a slow-releasing H2S donor, GYY-4137 (500 µM) (SantaCruz Biotechnology, Heidelberg, Germany), based on previous research [46 , 66 (link)].

Redox Modulators for Cell Culture

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DMEM-Ham's F-12 (1:1) was purchased from GIBCO (Grand Island, NY), and the synthetic arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) containing peptide was purchased from American Peptide Company (Sunnyvale, CA). Reagents were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO) with the exception of GYY4137 and Glyburide (glibenclamide) which were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Dallas, TX). All reagents (Na2S+9H2O, GYY4137, glibenclamide, pinacidil, cromakalim, diazoxide, and proparglyglycine) were reconstituted in either sterile distilled water or DMSO, frozen in aliquots, and diluted appropriately in serum-free media on the day of use.

Chondrocyte H2S Response Under Glucose Stress

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Articular chondrocytes were seeded on 6-well plates (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) for RNA and protein isolation; 12-well plates (BD Biosciences) for flow cytometry; and 96-well plates (BD Biosciences) for the IL-6 immunoenzymatic assay. After seeding, cells were cultured in DMEM with 1 g/L glucose (5.5 mM) (Gibco) and 10% FBS for at least one week. Then, quiescence was induced by culturing the cells in DMEM with 1 g/L glucose and 0.5% FBS for 48 h. Afterwards, experiments were performed in DMEM without FBS and with high glucose (4.5 g/L, HG) or low glucose (1 g/L, NG). IL-1β (5 ng/mL) (407615; Sigma-Aldrich Química S.A.) was employed to induce an inflammatory response, and the effect of the H2S donors NaSH (500 µM) (161527; Sigma-Aldrich) and GYY-4137 (500 µM) (sc-224013; SantaCruz Biotechnology, Heidelberg, Germany) in these two different environments (HG vs. NG) was evaluated.

Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM), fetal bovine serum (FBS) and Penicillin/streptomycin (P/S, 100units/ml and 100 μg/ml, respectively) were from Gibco (Gibco, Madrid, Spain). Culture flasks, well plates and other disposable culture plastic were purchased from BD (BD Bioscience, Madrid, Spain). Sodium hydrosulfide (NaSH) and human recombinant IL-1β were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Sigma-Aldrich Química S.A, Madrid Spain). GYY4137 (morpholin-4-ium 4 methoxyphenyl(morpholino phosphinodithioate)) was purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Heidelberg, Germany. Antibodies and conditions used for IHC are in Table 1. The GAGs quantification assay (Blyscan) was from Scharlab S.L. (Barcelona, Spain). Reagents for tissue histology were from either Merck or Sigma-Aldrich, except for alcian blue (AB) (Applichem, VWR International Eurolab S.L. Barcelona, Spain) and DePex (Gurr ® , VWR International Eurolab S.L. Barcelona, Spain). Those for immunohistochemistry (IHC) were from Dako (Dako, Barcelona, Spain).

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.
