Mouse MA10 Leydig tumor cells were a kind gift of Dr. Mario Ascoli (University of Iowa). Rolipram was purchased from Tocris Bioscience (Bristol, UK). PF-04957325 was a kind gift of Pfizer Inc. (Groton, CT). Isotope labeled amino acids for SILAC were obtained from Cambridge Isotope Labs (Andover, MA) or Sigma-Isotec (St Louis, MO). Custom RPMI medium (−Lys/−Arg) was obtained from Caisson Labs (North Logan, UT). Dialyzed FBS and PHOS-Select Iron affinity gel were from Sigma (St. Louis, MO). C18 reverse phase material for nano-LC columns (3 µm Reprosil-C18.aq) was obtained from Dr. Maisch (Ammerbuch, DE). Protease and phosphatase inhibitor cocktails as well as the Pierce 660 nm protein assay were purchased from Thermo Scientific (Rockford, IL).

Porcine COC Progesterone Secretion Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
As previously described, a commercial immunoassay (ALPCO Diagnostics, Salem, NH, product number 11-PROHU-E01) was used27 (link) to measure the progesterone secreted by porcine COCs cultured in North Carolina State University-23 (NCSU-23) medium47 (link) without bovine serum albumin containing 25 µM of 2-mercaptoethanol, 0.1 mg/ml of cysteine, 10% (v/v) filtered porcine follicular fluid, and 0.01 µg/ml of recombinant human FSH (GONAL-f, Serono, Mississauga, ON, Canada)47 (link). This was done in the presence or absence of the PDE8 inhibitor (PF-04957325, donated by Pfizer under a Material Transfer Agreement). The concentration of PF-04957325 (300 nM) corresponded to the cell based IC9023 (link). For each experimental condition, 10 COCs were incubated for 48 h in an equal volume (125 µL) of medium in 96-well assay plates. Maturation medium and COCs were recovered from three independent experiments and kept at −80 °C until use. The progesterone in the maturation medium was assayed in triplicate according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The sensitivity of the assay was 0.1 ng/mL.

Characterization of VCAM-1, ICAM-1, and PDE8A-Raf-1 Interactions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Recombinant mouse VCAM-1/CD106 Fc chimera (643-VM), recombinant mouse ICAM-1/CD54 Fc chimera (796-IC) were purchased from R&D systems, Minneapolis, MN. Protein A was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (P7837). The primary antibodies for phospho-p44/42 MAPK (Thr202/Tyr204) (9101; 1:1000), p44/42 MAPK (9102; 1:1000), Phospho-Raf-1 (pSer259) (9421; 1:1000) and Raf-1 (9422; 1:1000) were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology. An additional Raf-1 antibody was purchased from BD Biosciences (610152; 1:2000). Anti-GAPDH (ab75834; 1:100,000) and anti-PDE8A antibodies (1:1000) were purchased from Abcam and Scottish Biomedical, respectively. The anti-CD3 antibody was purchased from Biolegend (100331). The secondary antibodies goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP (65-6120, 1:4000), chicken anti-rabbit IgG-HRP (sc-2963, 1:5000) and goat anti-mouse IgG-HRP (sc-2005, 1:5000) were purchased from Invitrogen and Santa Cruz Biotechnology. The PDE8A-Raf-1 disruptor peptide (PDE8A: R454-T465; RRLSGNEYVLST) and scrambled control peptide (SYTVRLLGERNS) were synthesized as described [19] . The PDE8 selective inhibitor PF-04957325 was synthesized by Pfizer Inc., Groton, CT [6] .

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.
