Flutamide Treatment of HepG2 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HepG2 cells were obtained from Shanghai Cell Line Bank (Shanghai, China) and routinely cultured in MEM supplemented with 10% FBS, 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin. Cell cultures were grown at 37°C in humidified incubators containing an atmosphere of 5% CO2. All cells used in our experiments were up to passage 20. Cells were treated with flutamide (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) for 24 h at various concentrations as indicated. In some experiments, cells were pretreated with or without 20 μM tin protoporphyrin (Snpp, Sigma-Aldrich) or 10 μM cobalt protoporphyrin (Copp, Sigma-Aldrich) for 1 h followed by treatment with 50 μM flutamide.

Angiotensinogen Overexpression Impacts IRPTC Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The IRPTC cell line11 (link),18 (link) and an IRPTC stable clone that has been stably transfected with the control plasmid pRC/RSV (designated as ‘pRSV-IRPTC’) or with a plasmid pRC/RSV containing the rat angiotensinogen cDNA (designated as ‘pRSV/rAgt-IRPTC’)13 (link),19 (link) were employed for our in vitro studies. We have previously reported that as compared to naive IRPTC and pRSV-IRPTC, pRSV/rAgt-IRPTC express significantly high amounts of rat angiotensinogen mRNA and protein as well as significantly higher amounts of Ang II secreted into the culture medium.13 (link),19 (link) All in vitro studies were performed in the normal 150 nM NaCl final concentration with an osmolarity of 415 mOsm/kg in normal glucose (5 mM D-glucose) DMEM as reported by Bouley et al.12 (link)Nuclear protein and cytosolic protein extracts were prepared using the NE-PER nuclear and cytoplasmic extraction kit (Thermo Scientific, Burlington, ON, Canada).18 (link) Cobalt protoporphyrin (CoPP, an activator of HO-1 expression) was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Canada (Oakville, ON, Canada).

Fetal bovine serum (FBS) was purchased from Hyclone (Thermo, Melbourne, Australia). RPMI1640 medium (no phenol red), penicillin and streptomycin were purchased from Invitrogen (Grand Island, NY, USA). Recombinant GM-CSF and IL-4 were from Peprotech (Rocky Hill, NJ). Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) derived from Escherichia coli 026:B6 was from Sigma (St. Louis, MO). FITC-CD80, PE-CD86, FITC-MHCII or respective isotypes were from eBioscience (San Diego, CA, USA). Rabbit anti-mouse heme oxygenase 1(HO-1), rabbit anti-mouse β-actin and goat anti-rabbit IgG-horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were from Bioworld (St. Louis Park, MN, USA). Micro BCA protein assay kit was from Pierce (Rockford, IL). Cobalt protoporphyrin (CoPP), an inducer of HO-1 [38 (link)], and tin protoporphyrin IX (SnPP), an inhibitor of HO-1 activity [38 (link)], were from Sigma. Synthetic BP5 was purchased from Biotech Bioscience and Technology Co., Ltd (Shanghai, China). The purity of the synthetic peptide was > 98% by RP-HPLC. The sequence of the synthetic peptide was examined by electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS). It was also tested the LPS contamination using the E-Toxate Limulus LPS detection kit (Sigma), which is sensitive to 0.05 to 0.1 endotoxin units/ml. Only uncontaminated preparations were used.

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.
