Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Murine myoblast C2C12 according to [29 (link)] were cultured on conventional Petri dishes (BD Falcon) at 37°C and 5% CO2 in DMEM GlutaMAX (Gibco) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated foetal bovine serum (FBS, EuroClone), penicillin (100 IU/mL, Gibco), and streptomycin (100 mg/mL, Gibco). All the experiments were conducted for 10 days starting from a cellular confluence of 50%, to obtain a high degree of differentiation, and cells were divided into two experimental groups: the control group cultured in growth medium and the treated group cultured in growth medium with the addition of TMPyP4 (Sigma-Aldrich) to a final concentration of 12 μM. Medium was changed every day as well as fresh addition of TMPyP4.

Cell proliferation assay was performed in 96 well plate by incubating HEK293T cells (seeding density = 1 × 104 cells/well) in the presence of multiple doses of TMPyP4 (Sigma) or Pyridostatin (Sigma). After 24 h, cells were exposed to MTT (3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol 2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) (Sigma) reagent for 1 h. The medium was replaced with 100 μl dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and optical density measured at 570 nm (Additional file 1, Figure S1).

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.
