Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Synthetic peptides, i.e. T9 (32–320 μM) and P5 (0.001–100 μM), were tested using the in vitro PCSK9-LDLR binding assay (CycLex Co., Nagano, Japan) following the manufacture instructions as reported above. The absorbance at 450 nm was measured using the Synergy H1 fluorescent plate reader (Biotek, Bad Friedrichshall, Germany). In particular, for the in vitro screening of the synthetic PCSK9-LDLR inhibitors, T9 and P5, at different concentrations, were added to the appropriate amount of His-tagged PCSK9 in the wells that had been coated with recombinant LDLR-AB domain in a similar fashion as described above, followed by evaluation of inhibitory effect on PCSK9-LDLR interaction by measuring the amount of His-tagged PCSK9 on the wells which is correlated to the absorbance signals at 450 nm, which were measured using the Synergy H1 fluorescent plate reader (Biotek, Bad Friedrichshall, Germany).

Caco-2 cells (1.5 × 105/well) were seeded on 24-well plates. The next day, cells were treated for 24 h with HHs (5 and 18 h) at 0.5–2.5 mg/mL or vehicle (H2O) and incubated at 37 °C under a 5% CO2 atmosphere. After incubation, cells were stimulated with H2O2 (1.0 mM) or vehicle for 1 h; then, the cell culture media were collected and centrifuged at 13,000× g for 15 min to remove insoluble material. NO determination was carried out by Griess test.

Total RNA was used for the cDNA library construction using TruSeq® Stranded mRNA LT kit (Illumina, San Diego, USA) and epMotion 5075t robot (Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany). Library construction produced single-indexed libraries with a median insert size of ∼300 bp which was validated on an Agilent 2200 TapeStation instrument using D1000 ScreenTapes (Santa Clara, CA, USA). All libraries were quantified in triplicate using SynergyH1 fluorescent plate reader (BioTek, Vermont, USA). The pooled denatured cDNA libraries were loaded on a cBot for cluster generation followed by 2 × 108 bp paired-end sequencing using HiSeq Rapid kits with V2 chemistry on an HiSeq 2500 sequencer (Illumina, San Diego, USA). All the sequence files were uploaded into the NCBI-Sequence Read Archive (SRA) and Bio project ID: PRJNA517543 and used for data analysis.

The in vitro assessment of DPP-IV-inhibitory activity was performed following the manufacturer instructions (DPP-IV inhibitor screening assay kit–Cayman Chemical) and previously reported methods (47 (link), 48 (link)). The experiments were carried out in triplicate in a half–area 96 well solid plate (white). Each reaction (50 μL) was prepared adding the reagents in the following order in a microcentrifuge tube: 1 X assay buffer [20 mM Tris–HCl, pH 8.0, containing 100 mM NaCl, and 1 mM EDTA] (30 μL), CH and CH (F3) at final concentration range of 0.01–2.0 mg/mL (10 μL) or vehicle (10 μL of distilled H2O) and finally the DPP-IV enzyme (10 μL). Subsequently, the samples were mixed and 50 μL of each reaction were transferred in each well of the plate. The reactions were started by adding 50 μL of substrate solution to each well and incubated at 37°C for 30 min. Fluorescence signals were measured using the Synergy H1 fluorescent plate reader from Biotek (excitation and emission wavelengths 360 and 465 nm, 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.
