Delphinidin chloride was purchased from Extrasynthèse (Genay, France) and was used at 10−2 g/L. This concentration has been described to induce the maximal relaxing effect on ex vivo rat aorta13 (link), to prevent angiogenesis through an inhibition of migration and proliferation16 (link), 17 (link) and to inhibit endothelial apoptosis51 (link). Delphinidin was diluted in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) from Sigma Aldrich (St Louis, MO). The final concentration of DMSO in experiments never exceeded 0.1%.

Human cell lines PC3, DU145, and LNCaP were obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Rockville, MD). LAPC4 were a kind gift from Prof. A. Cato (Institute of Toxicology and Genetics, Karlsruher Institut für Technologie, Germany).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Porcine alveolar macrophage (PAM) cells were freshly harvested from swine lungs according to the OIE Manual’s instructions [27 ]. PAM cells were used for the propagation of the highly virulent ASFV_HU_2018 isolate of the African swine fever virus (Accession Number: MN715134.1). PAM cells were grown in RPMI 1640-containing L-glutamine (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland) medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Euro Clone, Pero, Italy), 1% Na-pyruvate (Lonza), 1% non-essential amino acid solution (Lonza), and 1% antibiotic-antimycotic solution (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) at 37 °C in 5% CO2 in air gas phase. The infectious titer of serially diluted viral stock was calculated using an immunofluorescence (IF) assay as described earlier [22 (link)]. PAMs were cultivated in 6-well plates at a density of 3.3 × 105 cells and infected at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 10 plaque-forming units per cell at 4 h after cell seeding. The supernatant was replaced with a fresh medium after 1 h post-infection (hpi). Infected PAM cells were harvested at 4, 8, 12, and 20 hpi, whereas mock-infected cells were harvested at 20 hpi IF assay was used for monitoring the efficiency of infection in an infected control well fixed at 20 hpi.

Endothelial Cell Culture and Pharmacological Modulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human umbilical vein ECs (HUVECs) and ECs from healthy donor and patients were cultured in EGM‐2 (EBM‐2 + SingleQuots™ Kit) and 2% foetal bovine serum (FBS) (Lonza). HUVECs and ECs were used between P2 and P6 passages. HEK293T (ATCC) were grown in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) with 4.5 g/l glucose, 2 mM l‐glutamine, without Na pyruvate (Lonza), 10% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Pen/Strep). Reagents and doses were as follows: LysoTracker (Thermo Fisher), bafilomycin A1 (Sigma, 200 nM), torin‐1 (CST, 10 μM), BAY11‐7082 (Abcam, 300 nM), TYRPHOSTIN AG1288 (Abcam, 300 nM), SB202190 (Tocris, 300 nM), cycloheximide (Sigma, 2 μM) and MG132 (Sigma, 2 μM).

C57BL/6 mice were purchased from Charles River (Charles River ITALY). BMDMs were derived from the bone marrow cells collected from five-week old female mice, as already reported [39 (link)]. Subsequently, BMDMs were differentiated during 5 days in RPMI1640 (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland), supplemented with 10% FBS (Hyclone, San Angelo, TX, USA), 1% Glutamine (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland), 1% Na pyruvate (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland), 1% NEAA (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland), 0.5% 2-ME (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Milan,, Italy), and 30 ng/mL macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF; Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany).

Protocol for ASFV Propagation in PAM Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Pulmonary macrophage (PAM) cells were harvested freshly from swine lungs according to the OIE Manual's instructions [45] . PAM cells were used for the propagation of the highly virulent ASFV_HU_2018 isolate of African swine fever virus (ID Number: MN715134). PAM cells were grown in RPMI 1640 containing L-glutamine (Lonza) medium supplemented with 10% foetal bovine serum (Euro Clone), 1% Na-pyruvate (Lonza), 1% non-essential amino acid solution (Lonza), and 1% antibiotic-antimycotic solution (Thermo Fisher Scientific) at 37°C in 5% CO 2 in air gas phase. The infectious titre of serially diluted viral stock was calculated using an immunofluorescence (IF) assay as described earlier [31] (link). PAMs were cultivated in 6-well plates at a density of 3.3×10 5 cells and infected at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 10 plaque-forming unit per cell at 4 h after cell seeding. Supernatant was replaced with fresh medium after 1 h post-infection (p.i.). Infected PAM cells were harvested at 4, 8, 12, and 20 h p.i., whereas cock-infected cells were harvested at 20 h p.i. IF assay was used for monitoring the efficiency of infection in an infected control well fixed at 20 h p.i. Infection efficiency remained at approximately 20% despite the high viral titre (MOI = 10) applied for the infection. This result is in agreement with other's observations.

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.
