Mouse microglial BV2 cells (Cell Resource Center of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences) were cultured in DMEM (Gibco; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) with 10% FBS (Beijing Aoqing Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin at 37˚C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2 and the medium was changed every 2 days. Cells were split with 0.125% trypsin when they reached 80% confluence and the passages 2-10 were used for carrying out experiments. For LPS treatment, the cells were treated with 100 ng/ml LPS (cat. no. L2630; Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA) for the indicated times. To perform the hypoxia exposure experiments, BV2 cells seeded in 60-mm dishes (8x105 cells/dish) were put in the cell culture chamber with 1 or 3% oxygen (O2) at 37˚C for the indicated times. For the FG-4592 (Selleck Chemicals) treatment, cells were treated with 10 µM FG-4592 for 6, 12 and 24 h at 37˚C. For the celecoxib (Selleck Chemicals) treatment, cells were pretreated with 10 and 20 µM celecoxib for 1 h at 37˚C.

Cyclooxygenase inhibition was determined using the COX Fluorescent Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit (Cayman Chemical) according to the manufacturer’s recommendation. SS (Sigma-Aldrich) (10 µM) served as a positive control for assessing the COX-1 and COX-2 inhibitory activity of ADT 061. Celecoxib (Selleck Chemicals) (100 nM) and indomethacin (Sigma-Aldrich) (100 nM) served as additional controls as COX-2 and COX-1 specific inhibitors, respectively. The protocol was modified to include a 20-minute incubation step prior to the addition of arachidonic acid. Fluorescent readings were obtained using a Biotek Synergy H4 plate reader.

PET/MR image acquisition and analysis were performed as previously described [9 (link)]. Tumor-bearing mice were anesthetized by isoflurane in O2 (4 %, 2 l/min induction; 1–2 %, 1 l/min maintenance) for lateral tail-vein catheterization then transferred to a nanoScan™ PET/MRI 3T scanner (Mediso). Mice bearing HT-29 or HCT-116 xenografts (n = 5) were injected through the tail-vein catheter with [11C]MC1 (4.39–13.35 MBq, 0.47–10.81 nmol/kg, 39–509 GBq/μmol). HT-29 xenograft mice were pre-treated with an intraperitoneal injection of 2 mg in 20 μl dimethylsulfoxide of unlabeled MC1 (n = 2) or the known COX-2 inhibitor, celecoxib (n = 3; Selleck Chemicals), 60 min prior to injection of [11C]MC1. Following the 60 min PET scans, mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation and tissue samples were collected, weighed, and transferred to γ-counting tubes for biodistribution analysis. Tissue radioactivity was measured with a γ-counter and expressed as %ID/g. Image analyses and extraction of time-activity curves (TACs) from regions of interest (ROIs) were performed in Amide v1.0.4.

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.
