Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RASFs were seeded into 24-well plates (density 2–4 × 104/well) Then cells were cultrued for 12, 24, 48 h in the presence of 0, 1, 10, 50 ng/ml of interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) respectively, or combined with 10μmol/l of PDTC (an inhibitor of nuclear transcription factor kappa B (NF-кB), Abcam, ab141406), PD98059 (an inhibitor of extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK-1/2), Abcam, ab120234), or Static (an inhibitor of signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT3), Abcam, ab120952), respectively. For the siRNA blocking assay, 0, 1, 10, 50 ng/ml of TNF-α with or without 100 nmol/l siRNA-E2F2 were added to seeded RASFs for 24 h (see below).

Murine Bone Marrow-Derived Macrophage Culture

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
BMDMs were obtained by in vitro differentiation of primary femur and tibia bone marrow cells using an established protocol(Davies and Gordon, 2005 ; Healy et al., 2020 ). In brief, femurs and tibias from the indicated mouse lines mice were dissected, cleaned, dis-infected in 70% ethanol, and washed with fully supplemented RPMI 1640 medium. Red blood cells were removed by ammonium-chloride potassium lysis buffer and subsequent centrifugation. Remaining BM cells were then cultured at a density of 3.5 × 106 cells/10 cm Petri dish in fully supplemented RPMI with 30% (vol/vol) L929 cell-conditioned medium. Cells were matured to phenotypic macrophages over 6–7 days as confirmed by >98% expression of F4/80 and CD68. Non-adherent cells were washed away with PBS while adherent cells were recovered by gentle pipetting in PBS with 1 mM EDTA. Polarization of BMDMs was carried out by incubation with LPS (100 ng/mL; Sigma-Aldrich L2630) and IFN-γ (50 ng/mL; BioLegend 575304) or with IL-4 (10 ng/mL; BioLegend 574304) and IL-13 (10 ng/mL; BioLegend cat.575904) up to 24 hours. In some experiments, BMDMs were treated with the STAT3 inhibitor, Stattic (Abcam, ab120952), or the NF-κB inhibitor, JSH23 (Abcam, ab144824).

CCL5 Regulation of HK-2 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HK-2 cells were purchased from the National Collection of Authenticated Cell Cultures (Shanghai, China) and cultured in DMEM-F12 supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum at 37°C with 5% CO2. To investigate the effect of CCL5, HK-2 cells were exposed to 0.5 or 1 μg/ml CCL5 (sc-4,637, Santa Cruz) for 24 h. To verify the effect of STAT3, STAT3 inhibitor stattic (10 μM, ab120952, Abcam) was applied. To verify the effect of DNMT1, DNMT1 inhibitor 5-Aza (10 μM) was applied. Cells were harvested for western blotting analysis.

Gastric Cancer Cell Line Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The GC cell lines MKN7, MKN45, MKN74, HGC27, and NUGC4 were purchased from the Riken Cell Bank. These cells were cultured in RPMI‐1640 (Nacalai Tesque) supplemented with 100 μg/mL of streptomycin, 100 U/mL of penicillin, and 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Cells were cultured at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator. The rabbit polyclonal anti‐ANO9 antibody used in the immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis and western blotting was purchased from Abcam (ab140087). The rabbit polyclonal anti‐PD‐L2 antibody used in the IHC analysis was purchased from ProteinTech (18251‐1‐1AP). The mouse monoclonal anti‐PD‐L1 antibody was purchased from Cell Signaling Technology (#13684), the mouse monoclonal anti‐CD8 antibody was purchased from Abcam (ab17147) and the mouse monoclonal anti‐β‐actin (ACTB) antibody was purchased from Sigma‐Aldrich. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP)‐conjugated anti‐rabbit and mouse secondary antibodies were obtained from Cell Signaling Technology. We obtained PE anti‐PD‐L1 antibody (#329706) and APC anti‐PD‐L2 antibody (#329608) from Biolegends and recombinant human PD‐1 (PE) from Abcam (ab246145). We purchased IFNα from EnoGene Biotechnology (E6L00101) and STAT3 inhibitor from Abcam (ab120952).

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.
