Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After allowing the neurites to freely extend for 48 hours, the DRG neurons were pretreated with capsazepine (a TRPV1 antagonist, 10 μM) (Sigma-Aldrich) for 30 minutes. Thereafter, the neurons were treated and cultured for 24 hours as follows: (1) formaldehyde group (n = 5), DRG neurons were exposed to formaldehyde (Sigma-Aldrich) 10 μM; (2) menthol group (n = 5), DRG neurons were exposed to menthol (Sigma-Aldrich) 300 μM; (3) PD98059 + formaldehyde group (n = 5), PD98059 (an ERK1/2 inhibitor, 10 μM) (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA) was added 30 minutes before formaldehyde (10 μM) exposure; (4) PD98059 + menthol group (n = 5), PD98059 (10 μM) was added 30 minutes prior to menthol (300 μM) exposure; (5) control group (n = 5), DRG neurons treated only with the TRPV1 receptor antagonist capsazepine (10 μM). Because TRPA1 and TRPV1 channels interact in neurons (Ruparel et al., 2011), capsazepine, a TRPV1 antagonist, was used to block the effects of TRPV1.

3 × 105 hMSCs were seeded onto 8 mm discs of CG-GAG and MC-GAG scaffolds in proliferation media. 24 h after seeding, media was switched to osteogenic differentiation media consisting of 10 mM β-glycerophosphate, 50 μg/mL ascorbic acid, and 0.1 μM dexamethasone. For inhibitor studies, scaffolds were treated or untreated with dorsomorphin homologue 1 (DMH1; Sigma-Aldrich) or PD98059 (Cell Signaling Technologies, Beverly, MA) separately, all at a concentration of 50 μM. Fresh DMH1 and PD98059 were added to each media change every 3 days.

Neurosphere cultures were prepared from newborn rat cortex and grown in serum-free medium containing EGF and bFGF (both 20 ng/ml), For the differentiation assay, neurospheres were dissociated and plated on poly-lysine coated coverslips in the absence or presence of hUC-MSCs-CM for 3 d before analyses.47 (link)To verify whether the ERK-CREB pathway is involved in the regulation of hUC-MSCs-CM (without any other additional factors) on NSCs, NSCs was pretreated with DMEM/F12 (Gibco) for 12 h. Next, NSCs was pretreated with 20 μM of PD98059 (#9900, Cell Signaling Technology) for 1 h in PD98059 group. Then, the three groups were severally treated with DMEM/F12, hUC-MSCs-CM and 20 μM of PD98059 in hUC-MSCs-CM for 6 h to evaluate the phosphorylation of ERK and CREB, and 3 days to proliferation observation.

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.
