Lacrimal Gland Explant Culture Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Lacrimal gland explant cultures were prepared as previously described (28 (link)). Briefly, the whole eye, together with the adjacent ectoderm and mesenchyme, was dissected from E13.5 mouse embryos carrying Le-Cre. The explants were cultured on a membrane filter (HAWP01300, 0.45-μm pore, Millipore) and covered by Matrigel/DMEM/F12 mixture in the presence or absence of growth factors. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) or EGF (final concentration, 100 ng/ml) were first diluted in DMEM/F12 before mixed with Matrigel in 2:1 ratio. Ten microliter of the mixture was added on top of each explant. In each experiment, one side of embryo was treated with BSA and the other side with EGF. For inhibitor study, IGF inhibitor Picropodophyllin (10 μM; #S7668, Selleckchem), PI3K inhibitor LY294002 (1 mM) and mTOR inhibitor Torin (0.5 μM) were added to the media. After 2 days of incubation at 37°C with 5% CO2, the explants were examined for GFP-expressing lacrimal gland buds.

GH-IGF1 Signaling in Lung Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
GH (#86900, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), IGF1 (#I8779 Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), and picropodophyllin (IGF1-R inhibitor; #S7668 Selleckchem, München, Germany) were used to analyze the role of GH–IGF1 signaling in MLE-12 and pLFs. First, 0.5–1.0 × 106 cells were seeded per 10 cm dish in serum-rich medium (2% FBS for MLE-12, 10% for pLF) and incubated under normal growth conditions for 24 h (5% CO2 at 37 °C). Prior to stimulation with GH and IGF1, cells were starved for 12 h using serum-reduced medium (0.2% FBS for MLE-12, 1% for pLF). Subsequently, cells were stimulated with GH (100 nmol/L or 200 nmol/L) diluted in 10 mmol sodium bicarbonate, IGF1 (10 ng/mL or 100 ng/mL) diluted in dH2O, and IGF1-R inhibitor (20 nM/mL) diluted in ethanol. Controls were treated with the respective vehicle. Six independent experiments were performed; for mRNA or protein isolation, cells were collected 24 h after stimulation.

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.
