growth medium for 2 days before treatment. On the third day, the cells
were washed with PBS and then starved overnight (O/N) in DMEM without
FBS and antibiotics. After starvation, they were treated with 4.0
μg/mL PCSK9, 4.0 μg/mL PCSK9 + diimidazole analogues,
and vehicle (H2O) for 2 h with at 37 °C under a 5%
CO2 atmosphere. At the end of the treatment, the culture
medium was replaced with 50 μL/well LDL-DyLight 550 working
solution (Cayman Chemical Company, Ann Arbor, MI, USA) prepared in
DMEM without FBS and antibiotics. The cells were additionally incubated
for 2 h at 37 °C, and then the culture medium was aspirated and
replaced with PBS (100 μL/well). The degree of LDL uptake was
measured using a Synergy H1 fluorescent plate reader (Winooski, VT,
USA) (excitation and emission wavelengths of 540 and 570 nm, respectively).
Fluorescent LDL uptake was finally assessed following optimized protocol.14 (link)

The third day, they were treated with either 4 μg/mL PCSK9, or 4 μg/mL PCSK9 with either tEGF-A (0.5-50 µM), TEX-S2_03 (0.05-5 µM), or TEX-S3_01 (0.05-50 µM), or vehicle (H2O) for 2 h with at 37 °C under 5% CO2 atmosphere. At the end of the treatments, the culture medium was replaced with LDL-DyLight™ 550 working solution (Cayman Chemical Company). The cells were additionally incubated for 2 h at 37 °C and then the culture medium was aspirated and replaced with PBS. The degree of LDL uptake was measured using the Synergy H1 fluorescent plate reader (excitation and emission wavelengths 540 and 570 nm, respectively). Data were the average ± s.d. of three independent experiments, each performed with three replicates, using GraphPad Prism. Statistical analyses were carried out by student ttest. P-values < 0.05 were considered to be significant.

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.
