Example 5

a) Effects of IGF1 on Metabolic Activity

FIG. 16A and FIG. 16B report the effects of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) on glucose utilization in C2C12 cells treated in 2% horse serum. Cells were plated in DMEM plus 4.5 g/L of glucose and 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) at Day −2 (d-2). At Day 0 (d0) media was refreshed with DMEM plus 1 g/L glucose and 2% horse serum. At Day 5 (d5) various treatments were added with glucose utilization determined at Day 6 (d6). FIG. 16A reports the dose-response relationship between recombinant human IGF-1 treatment (x-axis) and glucose utilization, revealing an EC50 of 17.43 ng/mL. Recombinant human IGF1 was purchased from R&D Systems (Cat. 291-G1). FIG. 16B reports the dose-response relationship between PPF1 treatment and glucose utilization, revealing an EC50 of 2.9 mg/ml containing 0.87 ng/mL IGF1. IGF-1 is known to have an impact on metabolism of myotubes, and its presence in PPF1 has been calculated as approximately 14.88 ng/mL. However, the data presented here reveals that PPF1 has 20× more efficacy than IGF-1 alone, thus the presence of IGF-1 alone cannot explain the enhanced efficacy observed with PPF1. Thus, other factors must necessarily be involved in the effects of PPF1.

Promastigote-Induced Foot Lesion Measurement

Stationary-phase promastigotes (1 × 106) that had been preincubated with or without 50 ng/mL of recombinant human IGF-I (R&D Systems, USA) for 5 min and then washed were injected into the footpads of BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice. In the opposite footpad, we injected RPMI 1640 medium as a control. For six weeks, we measured the thickness of the foot to indicate the growth of the lesions using a micrometer (Mitsutoyo, Japan), and the difference between the infected and noninfected footpads in millimeters was considered the lesion size.

Quantifying IGF Receptor Signaling in Lung Cancer Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A panel of human lung cancer derived cell lines (ATCC, Table 1) were assessed by ELISA for the presence of PAPP-A in the culture medium. Human alveolar adenocarcinoma cells (A549, ATCC) [50 (link)] were selected and thereafter maintained in DMEM containing 10% FBS, 2 mM glutamine, penicillin and streptomycin. The cells were allowed to reach confluence in a 96-well plate, washed three times and switched to DMEM containing antibiotics and 0.1% bovine serum albumin for 16 hours to allow PAPP-A secretion and accumulation in the medium. Varying doses of an irrelevant control IgG2a antibody (BioXCell) or PAPP-A mAb 1/41 were added 1 h prior to the addition of recombinant human IGF-I (50 ng/ml, R&D Systems), or IGF-I and human recombinant IGFBP-4 (50/500 ng/ml, R&D Systems) pre-incubated for 30 minutes to allow the IGF/IGFBP-4 complex to form. Fifteen minutes after IGF stimulation, conditioned media were collected and cells fixed and permeabilized for In-Cell Western analysis (LI-COR). An anti-phospho-AKT antibody (Novus Biologicals) was used to assess IGF receptor signaling using the LI-COR Odyssey system. Levels of PAPP-A were determined by ELISA (AL-101, Ansh Labs).

Immortalized, ASE cell lines were maintained as previously described [9] (link). For in vivo studies, A. stephensi Liston (Indian wild-type strain) were reared and maintained at 27°C and 75% humidity. All mosquito rearing and feeding protocols were approved and in accordance with regulatory guidelines and standards set by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of the University of California, Davis. For most experimental treatments, laboratory-reared 3–5 day old female mosquitoes were maintained on water for 24–48 h and then allowed to feed for 30 min on reconstituted human blood meals (healthy male adult, blood type O+) provided through a Hemotek Insect Feeding System (Discovery Workshops, Accrington, UK). Reconstituted blood meals contained washed human red blood cells (RBCs) and saline (10 mM, NaHCO3, 15 mM NaCl, pH 7.0) as 50% RBCs and 50% saline with or without Recombinant human IGF1. Human RBCs were purchased from Interstate Blood Bank (Memphis, TN, USA). Recombinant human IGF1 was purchased from R&D Systems (Minneapolis, MN, USA).

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.
