Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To silence Snail1 and β-catenin genes in RPTEC, a stable transfection assay was conducted with 3 µg Snail1 siRNA and β-catenin siRNA (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) injected into the cells by using a commercial lipofectamine 3000 mixture (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY). The Snail1 siRNA- or β-catenin siRNA-lipofectamine 3000 mixture was incubated with RPTEC for 24 h at 37°C. After the transfection, cells were treated with high glucose for 72 h in the absence and presence of 20 μM eucalyptol. Cells were lysed in a lysis buffer and Western blot analysis was conducted with anti-human Snail1, anti-human E-cadherin, anti-human GSK-3β and anti-human β-catenin.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MPCs were grown in culture in EBM2/20% FBS until confluent. On the day of transfection, cells were trypsinized and re-suspended with control or β-catenin siRNA (30 nM final concentration; Santa Cruz Biotechnologies, Santa Cruz, CA, sc-29209) and subjected to electroporation (1400v, 20 ms, 2 pulses) using Neon Transfection System (Life Technologies). For simultaneous knockdown of Wnt11 and β-catenin, cells were trypsizined and re-suspended in a mixture of both siRNA sets (30 nM each; Wnt11 siRNA sc-41120, Santa Cruz Biotechnologies) and transfected as before. Knockdown efficiency was determined at day 7 in normal growth media or adipogenesis media by real time RT-PCR and ELISA. GFP-RhoA Expression Vector Set (contains dominant negative and wild type; STA-452, Cell BioLabs, San Diego, CA), or GFP-Rac1 Expression Vector Set (contains dominant negative and wild type; STA-450, Cell BioLabs) were also used at 1 µg using the same electroporation protocol as for siRNA. Transfected cells were transferred to a 24-well plate containing EBM2 media without antibiotics. The following day the media was changed to adipogenic media (StemPro® Adipogenesis Differentiation media) with or without the addition of HG.

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.
