TAPI-0 is a protein inhibitor that selectively targets and inhibits the activity of the TACE (Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha Converting Enzyme) enzyme. TACE plays a crucial role in the proteolytic cleavage and release of various membrane-bound proteins, including the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha. By inhibiting TACE, TAPI-0 can modulate the levels of these important signaling molecules.

Investigating ADAM17 Variants in APP-Expressing SH-SY5Y Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
SH-SY5Y cells stably expressing human APP695 carrying the Swedish double mutation (in pcDNA3.1, selection with 0.3 mg/ml hygromycin) were kindly provided by Tobias Hartmann and Marcus Grimm (Saarland University). SH-SY5Y cells were stably transfected with expression constructs for ADAM17 variants (in pcDNA3.1, selection with 500 μg/ml geneticin). Cells were grown in DMEM with selection antibiotics and 10% fetal calf serum (FCS). For rescue experiments, cells were supplied with media containing 100 nM TAPI-0 (SantaCruz) or equal volume of DMSO as control. Medium was changed every second day, cells were checked for mycoplasma contamination.

BIM, bovine serum albumin (BSA), BQ-788, 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI), ET-1, Ficoll® PM 400 (Ficoll), LPS from Escherichia coli 0111:B4, TAK-242, and WP9QY were purchased from Merck (Darmstadt, Germany). H398 and TNF-α were obtained from Enzo Life Science (Farmingdale, NY, USA) and FUJIFILM Wako Chemicals (Tokyo, Japan), respectively. TAPI-0 and anti-TLR4 antibodies were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA, USA). BQ-123 and PA were obtained from MedChemExpress (Monmouth Junction, NJ, USA) and AG Scientific (San Diego, CA, USA), respectively. L-NMMA was purchased from Dojindo (Kumamoto, Japan). NBD-CSA was synthesized following our previous report by Tajima et al. [7 (link)]. All other reagents were commercially obtained.

Characterization of Antigen-Specific CD8+ T Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Antigen-specific CD8+ T cells were identified and viable cells sorted using surface-trapped TNF-α staining (23 (link)). PBMC, isolated CD8β+ T cells, or CD8+ T cell transductants were incubated with peptide-pulsed antigen-presenting cells, the co-stimulatory molecules CD28 and CD49d (BD Biosciences), anti-TNF (clone: MAb11, PE, BD Biosciences) and TAPI-0 (5uM final concentration, Santa Cruz Biotechnology). Cells were incubated at 37°C for 8 hours. After incubation, cells were stained anti-CD3 (clone: SP34–2, Pacific Blue, BD Biosciences), anti-CD8 (clone: SK1, TruRed, BD Biosciences), anti-CD4 (clone: L200, PE-Cy7, BD Biosciences), anti-CD14 (clone: M5E2, APC, Biolegend), anti-CD69 (FN50, FITC, BioLegend), anti-CD16 (clone: 3G8, APC, Biolegend), and anti-CD20 (clone: 2H7, APC, Biolegend) and LIVE/DEAD Fixable Near Infra-Red Dead Cell Stain (Life Technologies) was used to assess cell viability. Antigen-specific cells were defined as TNF+/CD69+ CD8+ T cell responses 2x the magnitude of the no peptide control, with the no peptide control responses below 0.5%. Viable antigen-specific cells were sorted using a FACSAria Fusion (BD Biosciences), and analysis was conducted with FlowJo software (Tree Star).

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.
