A stock solution of CA was prepared in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at 10 mM and stored at -20 °C until use. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) was from Dojindo Molecular Technologies (Kumamoto, Japan). CFDA-SE Cell Proliferation Assay and Tracking Kit was purchased from Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology (Jiangshu, China). VEGF, sodium heparin, Hochest 33258, and PTK787 were from Sigma (St. Louis, MO). Growth factor reduced Matrigel; Annexin V-FITC/PI Apoptosis Detection Kit was from BD Biosciences (San Jose, CA, USA). Specific rabbit polyclonal antibodies to endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), phospho-eNOS (Ser1177), AKT, phospho-AKT (Ser473), p38, phospho-p38 (Thr180/Tyr182), c-Raf, phospho-c-Raf (Ser338), Erk1/2, phospho-Erk1/2 (Thr202/Tyr204) and β-actin (as a loading control), U0126 (a MEK inhibitor), and LY294002 (a PI3K inhibitor) were from Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA, USA). A hemoglobin human ELISA kit and monoclonal antibodies against VEGF and CD31 were from Abcam (Cambridge, UK). A human VEGF ELISA Kit was from eBioscience (San Diego, CA). All of the other chemicals were from Invitrogen (Carlsbad, CA) or otherwise indicated.

Matrigel Plug Assay for Angiogenesis

Effect of CA on VEGF-stimulated angiogenesis in vivo was determined by Matrigel plug implantation assay which was based on the method of Wake et al. [28] . Briefly, the 5week-old male Kunming mice (25-28 g) were subcutaneously injected with 0.5 mL of liquid Matrigel (BD Bioscience) mixture containing 100 ng/mL VEGF and 100 units/mL heparin. Then the mice were treated daily for 2 weeks with intraperitoneal injections of either vehicle (4% tween-80 in saline) or CA (100 mg/kg in the vehicle). After the 15th day, the mice were euthanized, and the Matrigel plugs were excised and photographed. Then a portion of Matrigel plugs was homogenized in PBS (pH 7.4) and centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 10 min. The concentration of Hb in the supernatant was measured at 450 nm directly using a hemoglobin human ELISA kit (Abcam).

Red Blood Cell ATP Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The squeezed RBCs samples are centrifuged at 3,000 × g for 10 min, at 4°C. Supernatants are aspirated to measure the free hemoglobin concentration (CFHB) using Human Hemoglobin ELISA Kit (Abcam Co.). The CFHB total is 45%*CFHB /2% and 45% is normal hematocrit. To measure ATP in RBCs, the squeezed RBCs sample pellets are collected by centrifugation of 3,000 × g for 10 min 4°C and then assayed to determine the cellular ATP concentration (CATP total) using a Luminescent ATP detection assay kit (Abcam Co.). And the CATP Average is CATP total /N, and N is the number of RBCs counted by the cell count plate (Vic-Science Co). The ATP levels are calculated by total ATP concentration (CATP total) of RBCs samples and numbers of normal erythrocytes, echinocytes, spherocytes in N = 0, 5,000, 15,000 and 20,000. Ax + By + Cz = CATP total, where A, B, and C are the number of normal erythrocytes, echinocytes, and spherocytes, respectively, CATP total is the total ATP concentration of the RBCs, and x, y, and z are the average ATP levels of the normal erythrocyte, echinocyte, and spherocyte. In order to count number of RBCs samples, samples are applied to the edge of the chamber of cell count plate (Vic-Science Co.) between the coverslip and the V-shaped groove in the chamber. RBCs are allowed to be drawn into the chamber by capillary action. Stand for 2 min and then count the number of RBCs.

Quantifying Total Alpha-Synuclein in Plasma

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total plasma alpha-synuclein levels were assessed using the U-PLEX Plus Human alpha-synuclein kit (Mesoscale Discovery, Cat. No. K151WKP-2) as previously described21 (link) using 1:8 dilution of the plasma samples. An 8-point calibration curve and 3 quality controls provided in the kit were included in each assay plate. The calibrator curve range was 0–10,500 pg/mL and was used to interpolate concentrations of total alpha-synuclein from plasma samples and quality controls. As plasma hemoglobin (Hgb) levels are important to include as a covariate in the analysis of total alpha synuclein in plasma samples21 (link), Hgb levels were also measured using a Human Hemoglobin ELISA Kit (Abcam; cat# ab157707) at a 1:1000 dilution of plasma, as per the manufacturer instructions. Hgb concentrations were interpolated from a 6-point calibration curve ranging from 0 to 200 ng/mL using a 4-parameter logistic curve fit. Inter-assay CV% for total alpha-synuclein and Hgb were < 15% and < 10% respectively.

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.
