Cells were superfused normally with a solution containing (mM): 88 NaCl, 5 KCl, 5.5 glucose, 1 CaCl2, 10 HEPES and 100 mannitol, adjusted to pH 7.4 with NaOH (300 mosm kg−1 H2O). The HTS was adjusted to 200 mosm Kg−1 H2O by omitting mannitol. 4-αPDD was acquired from Sigma (St Louis, MO, USA). Fluo-4AM and Fura-2AM were acquired from Molecular Probes, Inc (Eugene, OR, UK). Stock solutions of phorbol esters were initially prepared in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) at a concentration of 1 mM, and then stored at –20 °C. The final DMSO concentration in the experimental bath solution containing phorbol esters never exceeded 0.5%. Insulin and SGK1 inhibitors GSK 650394 were acquired from Tocris Bioscience (Ellisville, MO, USA), and used them as the manufacturer's recommendation.

Lysosomal and proteasomal degradation experiments utilized MG132 (Selleckchem, Houston, TX, USA cat. S2619) and Bafilomycin (Cayman Chemical Company, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA cat. 11038). PC3 cells stably expressing FLAG-PTOV1 constructs or HEK-293T cells transiently transfected with GFP-PTOV1 constructs were treated (2 days after transfection) with either 10 μM MG132, 100 nM Bafilomycin, or a similar volume of vehicle control (DMSO) for 2 hours prior to harvest.
PTOV1 degradation rates were assessed using cycloheximide (CHX, Cayman Chemical Company, cat 14126). PC3 cells stably expressing FLAG-PTOV1 WT or S36A were treated with 50 μg/ml CHX or an equal volume of vehicle control (DMSO). Alternatively, HEK-293T cells were transiently transfected with FLAG-PTOV1 S36A or FLAG-NES-PTOV1 S36A and treated with 50 μg/ml CHX two days post-transfection. Cells were harvested at the indicated timepoints and lysed in RIPA lysis buffer.

PC12 Cell Culture and SGK1 Inhibition

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The rat adrenal phaeochromocytoma PC12 cell line was purchased from the Bioresource Collection and Research Center, Hsinchu, Taiwan (BCRC#60048). PC12 cells were maintained in DMEM media using 10% horse serum, 5% fetal bovine serum, 4.5 g/mL glucose, penicillin, and streptomycin. Prior to the experiments, the PC12 cell line was cultured until it reached 60–80% confluency on culture dishes coated with collagen type IV (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA; #C5533). Additionally, our research did not involve the differentiation of PC12 cells [18 (link),19 (link)]. For SGK1 inhibition, the SGK1 inhibitor GSK650394 (Tocris Bioscience, Bristol, UK; #890842-28-1) was used. Following overnight incubation, the medium was replaced with a growth medium containing GSK650394 (100 μM) for the indicated times. The mRNA expression and protein levels of SGK1 and selected DEGs were analyzed using real-time PCR and Western blotting.

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.
