Angiotensin II-Induced Cell Injury Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ang II (Sigma Aldrich, MO) induced cell injury model was produced as previously reported [20 (link)–22 (link)]. In brief, confluent HbmECs were incubated with increasing concentrations of Ang II (10−9, 10−8, 10−7 and 10−6 M) for 24 h. After that, cells were collected for annexin V measurements. In order to determine the effective concentration of Ang-(1–7) (Bachem AG, CH) to suppress Ang II-induced pro-apoptotic activity, HbmECs were pre-treated with different concentrations of Ang-(1-7) (10−9, 10−8, 10−7 and 10−6 M) for 30 min before addition of Ang II (10−7 M) for 24 h. After that, HbmECs were collected for annexin V measurements. Upon completion of this study, we chose 10−7 M of Ang II and Ang-(1-7) for the subsequent experiments.

Ang-(1-7) Modulates CD34+ Cell Migration

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CD34+ cell migration toward 100 nM stromal cell-derived factor 1α (SDF-1α, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) or PBS for 4 h at 37°C was measured using the QCM Chemotaxis 5 μm Migration Chamber (Millipore, Billerica, MA) according to manufacturer instructions and as previously described18 (link). For determination of the effects of Ang-(1-7) on migration, freshly isolated CD34+ cells were pretreated with 100 nM Ang-(1-7) (Bachem, Bubendorf, Switzerland) for 1 h before following protocol above. This concentration of Ang-(1-7) was selected based on a preliminary dose-response experiment and previous experience with treatment of CD34+ cells with Ang-(1-7) in vitro16 (link).

Angiotensin II-Induced HBVSMC Responses

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HBVSMCs (Sciencell Research Laboratories, Carlsbad, CA, USA) were cultured in 75-mm2flasks in SMC medium, supplemented with 2% fetal bovine serum, 100 U/ml penicillin and streptomycin, and 100 U/ml cell growth supplement (Sciencell Research Laboratories) in a 37°C incubator with humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2/95% air. After reaching confluence, cells were randomly subjected to different treatments for 24 hrs (Figure 1): vehicle, Ang II, Ang II + Ang-(1-7), Ang II + A-779, Ang II + Ang-(1-7) + A-779. The concentration of Ang II (10−6 M, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) was chosen according to our previous study [15 (link)]. The dose of Ang-(1-7) (10−7 M, Bachem AG) was determined based on the concentration-response study (Figure 2A). A-779 (Mas receptor antagonist, 1 μM, BachemAG, Torrance, CA, USA) was pre-incubated with cells for 30 min [16 (link)].

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.
