Cilostazol [OPC-13013, 6-[4-(1-cyclohexyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl) butoxy]-3,4-dihydro-2-(1H)-quinolinone] was donated by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. (Tokushima, Japan) and dissolved in DMSO to prepare a 10 mM stock solution. Recombinant SIRT1, resveratrol, and bafilomycin A1 (Sigma-Aldrich) were dissolved in DMSO. Sirtinol (Calbiochem) was dissolved in DMSO (vehicle < 0.1% v/v on final volume). Aβ1–42 peptide (appearance, white powder; HPLC purity, >95%) was purchased from AnaSpec (catalog No.24236, run No. 77828; AnaSpec, Fremont, CA), dissolved in 1% NH4OH (basic buffer) as a stock solution at 1 mM and stored at -20°C. When diluted, the stock solution of Aβ1–42 was clear, seedless, and showed no sign of aggregation. KT5720 (a PKA inhibitor) was purchased from Enzo Life Sciences, and MTT, 3-methyladenine, bafilomycin A1, and tetracycline were from Sigma-Aldrich. TIMP-1 (Calbiochem) was dissolved in phosphate-buffered saline.

Treatments with the PKA signaling inhibitors H-89 (EMD Millipore) and KT5720 from (Enzo Life Sciences) were performed through injections beneath the gluteus superficialis and biceps femoris muscles. Animals were injected on 4 consecutive days from P3 to P6 with 10 μl of inhibitor solution (10 μM H-89 DMSO, 1 μM KT5720, 0.1% DMSO diluted PBS) per day. Untreated nerves were injected with 10 μl of 0.1% DMSO diluted in PBS. Sciatic nerves were sampled at P7.

266-6 cells, a murine pancreatic acinar cell line, were maintained in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagles Medium (DMEM; Hyclone; Logan, UT, USA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Hyclone). Culture plates were coated with 0.1% pig skin gelatin (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for 30 to 60 min prior to use. AR42J cells, a rat pancreatic acinar cell line, were maintained in F-12K Medium (Kaighn’s Modification of Ham’s F-12 Medium containing 2 mM L-glutamine and 1500 mg/L sodium bicarbonate; ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) supplemented with 20% FBS. HEK293T cells were maintained in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS. Primary pancreatic acinar cells were prepared from C57BL/6 mice as described previously [23 (link)]. To examine the role of β-AR and cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) pathway, cells were treated with the following reagents: 1 μM isoproterenol (an agonist of β1-, β2- and β3-AR; Sigma), 10 μM propranolol, 10 nM acebutolol (β1-selective antagonist; Sigma), 10 nM ICI-118,551 (β2-selective antagonist; Sigma), 10 nM Rp-cAMPs (an inhibitor of PKA activation; Enzo Life Sciences; Farmingdale, NY, USA), 5 μM KT5720 (a specific inhibitor of PKA; Enzo Life Sciences) and 20 μM H89 (an inhibitor of PKA; Sigma).

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.
