Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The effluent of the medium was analyzed for a panel of intercellular cell adhesion molecule (ICAM-1) and human beta defensin-2 (HBD2) using custom ELISA assay kits (Abbkine, Wuhan, Hubei, CN). Analyte concentrations were determined according to the manufacturer’s instructions using enzyme-labeled instrument coupled with Origin software (OriginLab, Northampton, MA, USA). For inflammation stimulation experiments, healthy epithelia were treated with LPS (10 μg mL−1) or TNF-α (10 ng mL−1) for 24 h, and amounts of secreted ICAM-1 and HBD2 were measured 24 h after treatment. For periodontitis drug studies in chips containing cocultures of human gingival epithelium and endothelium, the endothelial cells were treated with 25 mM NF-κB inhibitor PDTC (Ammonium pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) or blank medium under for 4 h before LPS (10 μg mL−1) or TNF-α (10 ng mL−1) was delivered into the epithelium channel for 24 h. The vascular effluents and epithelium effluents were then collected for ICAM-1 and HBD2 analysis.

The reagents lipopolysaccharide (LPS, E. coli serotype O55:B5), indomethacin (IND), and ammonium pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate (PDTC), obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA), were all of analytical grade and dissolved in phosphate buffer saline as a stock. The S. orientalis L. samples were purchased from a local herbal store (Yuanshan Company, Kaohsiung, Taiwan). The sample's original was identified and its DNA polymorphism had been reported [17 ]. In this study, the samples were freeze-dried and then ground into powder. The dried powder (9.3 kg) was extracted with a 5-fold volume of 95% ethanol by stirring at room temperature for 1 day. This step was repeated three times. The extracted solutions were collected and filtered through filter paper (Whatman number 1; Whatman Paper Ltd., Maidstone, Kent, UK). The SOE was acquired by removing solvent via a rotary evaporator and dried in a freeze dryer. The dry weight of this extract was 489 g, and the yield was 5.3%. The SOE was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO; the final DMSO concentration never exceeded 0.1% in medium) for cell culture test and was dissolved in sunflower oil for tube feeding in the mice experiment.

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.
