CFs were divided into 7 groups after incubated (37°C, 5% CO2) in a serum-free DMEM medium for 48 h:

Group 1: Normal group (NG), CFs were cultured with DMEM medium with normal glucose (glucose concentration at 5.5 mM) and treated with the same volume of solvent instead of drug.

Group 2: Normal glucose group + Alda-1 (NG + Alda-1), Alda-1 at 20 μM (the specific agonist of ALDH2, Sigma-Aldrich Co., St. Louis, MO, USA) [14 (link)] was added into DMEM medium with normal glucose and cultured for 48 h.

Group 3: High glucose groups (HG), CFs were cultured in DMEM medium with high glucose (glucose concentration at 30 mM) to induce injury for 48 h.

Group 4: HG + Alda-1 group (HG + Alda-1), for observing whether activation of ALDH2 can attenuate HG-induced CF injury, 20 μM Alda-1 was added into DMEM medium with 30 mM glucose and cultured for 48 h.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Approximately 0.5 g of dry soybean seeds was ground, mixed with 10 mL of 80% methanol in distilled water followed by sonication for 20 min, and subsequently incubated at 80°C for 14 hours. The mixture was filtered through a 0.45-μm filter and transferred to 5-mL HPLC vials. Aliquots of this filtrate (20 μL) were utilized for HPLC analysis.
For HPLC, a Phenomenex C18 column (Shimadzu LC-20A, Japan, 250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5.0 μm) and binary gradient elution were used with solvent A (methanol, chromatography purity) and solvent B (distilled water). The ratio of solvent A was 15%–45% at 0–20 min, 45%–60% at 20–30 min, 60%–80% at 30–35 min, 80%–90% at 35–40 min, and 90%–15% at 40–45 min at a flow rate of 1 mL·min−1. The temperature of the column was maintained at 40°C and the detector wavelength was set at 254 nm. Isoflavones were identified by comparison with authentic standards of daidzein, genistein, daidzin, genistin and glycitin (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA), and quantification of the isoflavones was carried out by reference to an external standard.

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.
