Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ARPE-19 cells were obtained from the Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. ARPE-19 cells were grown in DMEM/F12 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. For FK866 (Sigma-Aldrich; St Louis, MO, USA) treatment, ARPE-19 cells were serum starved overnight and treated with different doses (0.01–10 μmol/L) of FK866 as described previously.[15 (link)] Cells were collected at different time intervals (24, 48, and 72 h) after FK866 treatment and total RNA was extracted for the evaluation of hub gene expression.

In total, 18 male APP/PS1 transgenic mice (age: 24 weeks; weight: 26±3 g) and 6 male C57BL/6 mice (age: 24 weeks; weight: 27±2 g) were used in the present study. The APP/PS1 mouse strain is a double-transgenic hemizygote that expresses a chimeric mouse/human amyloid precursor protein and mutant human presenilin-1. These transgenic mice were used as they develop behavioral and pathology features of AD similar to patients and have been used in previous AD studies worldwide (17 (link)–19 (link)). Separately, C57BL/6 mice were used as age-matched controls. The APP/PS1 transgenic mice were purchased from the Model Animal Research Center of Nanjing University, while C57BL/6 mice were obtained from the Experimental Animal Center of Shanghai Academy. The NAD+ group were intraperitoneally injected with NAD+ (30 mg/kg, Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA) at 20 weeks of age and once every other day for 4 weeks. The FK866 (NAMPT inhibitor) group were intraperitoneally injected with FK866 (1 mg/kg, Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA) at 20 weeks of age and once every other day for 4 weeks. The mice were housed in a controlled specific-pathogen-free environment (22±3°C; 60% relative humidity; 12-h light/dark cycle) with ad libitum access to water and food.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To determine the optimal concentration of FK866 without inducing robust cellular toxicity, 3,000 cells were seeded in 96-well plates and incubated in a humidified incubator at 37 °C for 24 h. Thereafter, the cells were treated with different concentrations of FK866 (0–100 nM; Sigma-Aldrich) for 72 h before the addition of CCK8 solution (10 μL/well). After incubation at 37 °C for 1 h, the absorbance at 450 nm was measured with a microplate reader. Subsequently, senescent LP MSCs were cultured in the presence or absence of different exogenous NAD intermediates, including 100 μM nicotinamide (NAM), 100 μM nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), 100 μM NAD, and 5 μM of Sirt1 activator resveratrol (RSV) for 48 h. For FK866-induced cellular senescence, young EP cells were pre-treated with complete medium containing 10 nM FK866 or Vehicle (DMSO) for 24 h, and then the cells following FK866 treatment were respectively exposed to 100 μM NAM, 100 μM NMN, 100 μM NAD, and 5 μM RSV for 48 h. Afterward, cells were collected for SA-β-gal assay, NAD+ and NAD+/NADH measurement, Sirt1 activity assay, and protein expression studies.

Femur Fracture Model in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
8-Week-old mice were anesthetized by isoflurane inhalation anesthesia. The right femur was then shaved and scrubbed with betadine. All instruments and pin implants were sterilized before use. A 1 cm surgical incision was made over the anterolateral distal femur to expose the mid-point femur. A mid-shaft transverse fracture was made using a sharp scalpel. A 24-gauge stainless-steel pin was passed into the intramedullary canal to stabilize the fracture with the keen flexed. Radiographs were taken immediately after surgery and before sacrifice to confirm pin placement and fracture pattern. Animals were given buprenorphine (0.05 mg/kg) to alleviate any surgical pain. Sutures were checked daily for 3 days and removed on day 7.
Mice were randomly allocated into either vehicle (DMSO) or FK866 group and received intraperitoneal (IP) injections of FK866 (10 mg/kg, Sigma-Aldrich, USA) or vehicle in pyrogen-free saline every 12 h from the first postoperative day. On day 21, mice were euthanized and prepared for analysis.

Chemosensitivity Screening of FK866

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were screened for their chemosensitivity to FK866 (Sigma-Aldrich, France). They were grown in SFDM without nicotinamide for 72 h. Five thousand cells per well were plated in 96-well plates in SFDM medium without nicotinamide. Twenty-four hours later the media was supplemented with increasing concentrations of FK866 and incubated for an additional 72 h period. Each experiment was done in triplicate and repeated at least two times. These cells were treated for 72 h with increasing concentrations of FK866 ranging from 0 to 1000 nM (in a progression by a factor4). FK866 was next tested at a given concentration in association with increasing concentrations of gemcitabine, oxaliplatin or 5FU (0 to 1000 μM).

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.
