Stock solutions of specific PFKFB3 inhibitor 1-(4-Pyridinyl)-3-(2-quinolinyl)-2-propen-1-one (PFK15) were made up to 30 mM in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, both Sigma). PFK15 was further diluted in DMEM for experimentation. For calcium imaging experiments, PFK15 stock solutions were diluted directly in HEPES-buffered physiological saline solution (HEPES-PSS: 138 mM NaCl, 4.7 mM KCl,10 mM HEPES, 5.5 mM glucose, 1.28 mM CaCl2, 0.56 mM MgCl2, pH 7.4). Calcium-free HEPES-PSS (0Ca-HEPES-PSS: 138 mM NaCl, 4.7 mM KCl,10 mM HEPES, 5.5 mM glucose, 1.28 mM CaCl2, 0.56 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA pH 7.4) and high calcium HEPES-PSS (138 mM NaCl, 4.7 mM KCl,10 mM HEPES, 5.5 mM glucose, 20 mM CaCl2, 0.56 mM MgCl2, pH 7.4) were used for clearance assays. All drugs used in the metabolic inhibitor cocktail: iodoacetate 2 mM, (IAA), bromopyruvate 200 μM (BrPy), oligomycin 10 μM (OM) and carbonyl cyanide 3-chlorophenylhydrazone 4 μM (CCCP) were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich and stock solutions dissolved in milliQ water (IAA) or DMSO.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
THP-1 cells were cultured in RPMI1640 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (Capricorn Scientific, Auf der Lette, Germany), penicillin (100 U/ml, Thermo Fisher Scientific), and streptomycin (100 µg/ml, Thermo Fisher Scientific). PBMCs were isolated using Ficoll-Paque Plus (GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL, USA). THP-1 cells (1×106/ml) were stimulated with 100 ng/ml lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA) in the presence or absence of various concentrations of bromopyruvate (Sigma-Aldrich) or butyrate (Sigma-Aldrich). PBMCs (1×106/ml) were stimulated with 100 ng/ml LPS in the presence or absence of 80 µM of bromopyruvate or 10 mM of butyrate.

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.
