Hypoxia-Induced Astrocyte and Microglia Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The human microglia (HMC3) and astrocytes (SVGA) were seeded two days prior to stimulation to adhere at 5% CO2/37 °C. On the day of the experiment, the cells were washed once with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). The medium was renewed for the controls, and for the treatment group, changed to 1 mL of OGD medium, a DMEM-based glucose-free medium (Cat. A14430, DMEM no-glucose, Thermo Fisher Scientific), with 1% penicillin–streptomycin (10,000 U/mL; Thermo Fisher Scientific) and 3.97 mM L-glutamine (Carl Roth), supplemented or unsupplemented with 100 µM of resveratrol (Cat. R5010, Sigma-Aldrich/Merck, Taufkirchen, Germany) dissolved in polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG400, Caesar & Loretz GmbH, Hilden, Germany). The PEG400 did not have a significant effect on the cells used in this study (Table S1, Supporting Information). The cells were kept at 3% O2/5% CO2/37 °C for the times indicated for each experiment in an incubator (Memmert ICO150 with AtmoCONTROL, Schwabach, Germany). Afterward, the media and cells were collected for subsequent analysis.

Purification and Characterization of Fibrinogen

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All chemicals used were of analytical grade. Human fibrinogen was purchased from Sigma (Darmstadt, Germany) and further purified by dissolution in 50 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.3), followed by precipitation with a saturated ammonium sulfate solution (reaching a final concentration of 25%), centrifugation and redissolution in the same buffer. This buffered solution of fibrinogen was then used for all subsequent experiments. The purity of the obtained fibrinogen was determined using reducing SDS-PAGE on 10% gel. Resveratrol was purchased from Carl Roth (Karlsruhe, Germany). Stock solutions of Resveratrol were prepared by dissolution in 100% ethanol; the final concentration of ethanol was <2% in all experiments unless otherwise stated.

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.
