Human umbilical vein ECs (HUVECs) were isolated as described previously [10 (link), 26 (link)]. HUVECs from 3 to 4 cords were pooled for experiments, and passage 2–3 HUVECs were used for all experiments. HUVEC culture medium included M199 media (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) supplemented with 10 % fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Invitrogen), 30 µg/ml endothelial cell growth factor supplement (ECGF) (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA), 100 µg/ml heparin sodium (Sigma, St Louis, MO), 1 % sodium bicarbonate (Invitrogen), 1 % Glutamax™-1 (Invitrogen), 1 % penicillin/streptomycin (Invitrogen), 0.25 % fungizone (Invitrogen), and 0.25 % gentamicin (Invitrogen). Cells were cultured at 37 °C with 5 % CO2 and humidity. In some experiments, cells were treated with VEGF-A 165 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) or chemically defined lipid mixture 1 (Sigma). For induction of apoptosis, HUVECs were cultured in medium containing 5 % FBS and no ECGF, or treated with TNFα (40 ng/ml) for 24 h. PPARδ agonist GW0742 and PPARδ inhibitor GSK0660 were purchased from Cayman Chemicals (Ann Arbor, MI) and R&D Systems, respectively.

Macrophage Inflammasome Activation by Palmitic Acid

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Recombinant mouse Il-4 (rIl-4, 10 ng/ml, Peprotech, Rocky Hill, NJ, USA), GW501516, GW0742 (0.1 μM for both, Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI, USA), GW1929 (1 μM, Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA), or vehicle (DMSO for Ppar agonists) were incubated with macrophages overnight in 10% FBS, DMEM. PA (Sigma) was prepared as previously described [26] (link) and added to cells at final concentrations of 300 μM in 0.45% BSA, 2% double stripped FBS, DMEM for 16 h. For PA-induced inflammasome activation, lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 10 ng/ml, Sigma) was pre-incubated with macrophages for 3 h in 10% FBS, DMEM before the addition of PA.

The investigation conforms with the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals published by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH Publication No. 85-23, revised 1996). The local Committee approved animal experiments for Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (Regierungspräsidium Darmstadt, Gen. Nr. B 2/Anz. 75). Ventricular cardiomyocytes from 3-day-old (P3), 8-day-old (P8) and 12-week-old (adult) Sprague-Dawley rats were isolated and cultured as described55 (link),56 (link). Cells were initially cultured for 48-72 h in the presence of 20 μM cytosine-𝒟-arabinofuranoside and 5% horse serum before stimulation to prevent non-myocyte proliferation. Cardiomyocytes were subsequently treated in the presence of serum (0.2% FCS: neonatal, 5% FCS: adult) with DMSO as a negative control, 1 μM Carbacyclin if not stated otherwise (Enzo Life Science) or 100 nM GW0742 (Cayman Chemical). Postnatal cardiomyocytes were stimulated once; adult cardiomyocytes daily while the medium was exchanged every 3 days. As positive control 50 μg/ml FGF1 + 5 μM SB203580 (p38i) were used. Signaling pathway inhibitors were added 1 h before stimulation: 20 μM PHT-427 (Selleckchem), 100 nM GSK3787 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), 15 μM FH535 (Tocris Bioscience), 10 μM LY294002 (Sigma), 20 μM PD98059 (Cell Signaling).

Quinine, GW0742, and ATRA were from Cayman Chemical. Topical PY-60 was formulated (1.5 or 0.15 weight percent) as a gel (propylene glycol: 26%, Labrasol ALF: 17.5%, PEG 400: 46.5%, Povidone K-90: 8.5%) at Aragen Life Sciences. The methods to synthesize the batch of PY-60 used for the gel formulation used in this work is provided in the SI Appendix.

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.
