The Fructus Alpiniae zerumbet (FAZ) was collected from Zhenfeng County, Guizhou Province, China. Streptozocin (STZ) was purchased from Sigma (St Louis, MO, USA). RGZ, GW9662 and KN93 were obtained from Sigma (St Louis, MO, USA) and Selleckchem (Shanghai, China), respectively. Commercial kits, measuring insulin, VEGF and blood glucose, were obtained from Elabscience Co. Ltd. (Shanghai, China), Xin Bo Sheng (ERC103, China), Yuanye company (Shanghai, China), respectively. The primary anti-bodies used in this study including anti-GFAP, anti-Phospho-CREB, anti-CREB, anti-Phospho-CaMK II, and anti-CaMK II were supplied by Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA, USA); anti-PPAR-γ, anti-VEGF and anti-β-actin were purchased from Proteintech (Chicago, USA). All reagents used for qRT-PCR were obtained from Takara Bio. (Dalian, China). PPAR-γ siRNA and CREB siRNA were supplied by GenePharma (Shanghai, China).

Manipulating HUVEC Signaling Pathways

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HUVECs were purchased from ScienCell (Santiago, MN, United States; Lot Number 28433), and cultured in endothelial cell medium (ECM, ScienCell) supplemented with 1% endothelial cell growth supplement (ECGS, ScienCell) and 5% FBS. The culture surfaces were pre-coated by fibronectin (ScienCell) which was diluted in PBS (1:100). Cells from the fourth to sixth generations were used for the experiments. At 80%–90% confluence, HUVECs were transfected with control, Gsα, or CREB siRNA (GenePharma, Shanghai, China) using Lipofectamine RNAiMAX Transfection Reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific). According to the manufacturer’s instructions, the culture medium was replaced with Opti-MEM (Gibco) and the RNA-lipid complexes were added to cells followed by incubating for 6 h at 37°C and replacing with normal medium. After 48 h, cells were collected for analysis. For the virus-mediated gene transduction, HUVECs were infected with adenovirus-expressing Gsα or lentivirus-expressing CREB (Vigenebio, Jinan, China) for 48 h followed by analysis. H89 and forskolin were purchased from Abcam.

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.
