Stimulating IP3 Release in Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To stimulate IP3 release and thus IP3R, cells were treated with bradykinin (fibroblasts) or carbachol (SH-SY5Y). Prior to stimulation, cells underwent serum starvation. For this, cells were first washed in PBS (Sigma) and then cultured for 4 hours in DMEM (fibroblasts; Thermo Fisher Scientific) or DMEM/F12 (SH-SY5Y; Thermo Fisher Scientific) without FBS. Afterwards cells were treated with 300 nm bradykinin (fibroblasts; B3259, Sigma, powder dissolved in ddH2O) or 1 mm carbachol (SH-SY5Y; C4382, Sigma, dissolved in ddH2O) in the respective culture medium for t = 0, 30, 60 min (fibroblasts) or t = 0, 2, 4 h (SH-SY5Y). After treatment, cells were washed in PBS and scraped in adioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) buffer (Sigma) including protease inhibitor (cOMPLETE Mini, Roche Applied Sciences) (fibroblasts) or PBS (SH-SY5Y). Immunoblots were then performed as described above.

Bradykinin-induced Collagen Gel Contraction

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tensin1 knockdown was performed as above and then cells were detached and embedded in collagen gels as described previously32 (link). Bradykinin was then added to appropriate wells to a final concentration of 1 nM (B3259, Sigma-Aldrich). Photographs were taken at 0, 4, 18, 24 and 48 hours. The surface area was measured at each time point using ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health; http://rsbweb.nih.gov/ij/).

Modulating MSC Adhesion to Hydrogels

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Lysophosphatidic acid (Enzo Life Sciences #BML-LP100), bradykinin (Sigma #B3259), nocodazole (Sigma #M1404), cytochalasin D (Sigma #C2618), and Rac inhibitor (Millipore #553502) were included in culture media at concentrations of 20 μM, 10 nM, 0.5 μM, 0.5 μM, and 50 μM respectively. Drugs were stored at 100x in DMSO at −20°C until use. To reduce MSC adhesion to the hydrogel substrate surface by blocking RGD peptide-binding integrins, 0.02, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 mM free RGD peptide was included in the culture media throughout the duration of the timelapse.

Ion Mobility Peak Width Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Samples included a mixture of hexakis-(fluooalkyloxy)phosphazines (TuneMix, Agilent Technologies), bradykinin (B3259, ≥ 98%, Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Quentin-Fallavier, France), bovine ubiquitin (U6253, ≥ 98% , Sigma-Aldrich), equine cytochrome c (C7752, assay ≥ 95%, Sigma-Aldrich), bovine serum albumin (A0281, ≥ 99%, Sigma-Aldrich), deoxyribonucleic acids (RPcartridge-gold purity, Eurogentec, Seraing, Belgium) and an artificial foldamer NO2-QX7-O-X7Q-NO2 (provided by I. Huc, University of Bordeaux). 20 TuneMix was used as received. The foldamer was sprayed from 95/5 (v:v) CHCl3/MeOH. Native proteins were prepared in aqueous ammonium acetate (50-200 mM), and 0.5% sulfolane was added to ubiquitin to promote the formation of 7+ ions. The polythymine mixture was sprayed from RNAse free water. The higherorder nucleic acid structures (duplexes and quadruplexes) were sprayed from aqueous ammonium acetate (100 or 150 mM). The present article focuses on the data treatment, and the samples were selected mainly to illustrate different behaviors in terms of ion mobility peak width. More detail on sample preparation can be found in the supporting information.

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.
