Chondrogenic Cell Culture and Treatment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The tissues in Pfirrmann classification grades 2 were washed with cold phosphate-buffered saline solution (PBS). Then the samples were cut into 0.3x0.3 cm2 pieces and incubated with 0.25% type I collagenase at 37.5˚C overnight for digesting. Cell pellets were filtrated with a strainer and re-suspended in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) (containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin, Gibco; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). For cell treatment 50 and 100 µM H2O2 was used to induce ROS; siRNA transfection was used to silence ATF4 and CHOP gene expression; 20 µM Z-LEHD-FMK (ZLF, a cell-permeable, irreversible caspase-9 inhibitor; purchased from Selleck) was used to inhibit the expression of caspase-9.

Cell Cycle Analysis with Ros Scavengers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The cell cycle was analyzed as described previously [62 (link)]. Ros scavengers used were: α-tocopherol (100 µM, Vit. E) or Ferrostatin-1 (1 µM). The commercial inhibitors used were: Z-IETD-FMZ (50 µM: Selleckchem, Houston, TX, USA), Z-LEHD-FMK (50 µM: Selleckchem, Houston, TX, USA) and Oxythiamine chloride hydrochloride (OT, 1 and 10 mM: Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Heidelberg, Germany). The cells were seeded in culture plates and pre-treated with commercial inhibitors for 1.5 h before they were exposed to HCA for different times. Caspase-3/7 activity was measured using the Caspase-Glo® 3/7 assay according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Promega, Madison, WI, USA).

UVB Irradiation of Cells and Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mouse dorsal fur was removed via shaving and depilation with Veet (Reckitt Benckiser, UK). Mice were placed in restrainers with facial protection and treated once ±250mJ/cm2 UVB light using the UV-2 ultraviolet irradiation system (Tyler Research). UVB light was provided by cascade-phosphor ultraviolet generators that emit 310nm UVB radiation.
For irradiation of cultured cells at approximately 80% confluence, growth medium was replaced with PBS and cells were treated with 0-50mJ/cm2 UVB light as indicated in specific experiments. PBS was removed immediately following irradiation and replaced with growth medium. Cells were incubated at 37°C for the indicated times.
Inhibitors of cell death (Ac-YVAD-cmk, Sigma Aldrich SML0429; Necrostatin-1, Cayman Chemical 11658; GSK’872, Tocris Bioscience 64-921-0; Z-IETD-FMK, Selleckchem S7314; Z-LEHD-FMK, Selleckchem S7313; Z-VAD-FMK, Selleckchem S7023; UAMC-3203, Selleckchem S8972) were added 30 minutes prior to IFN treatment and again immediately following UVB exposure.
For neutralizing antibody experiments, N/TERTs were treated with isotype control (R&D MAB002, MAB0041) or neutralizing antibodies targeting TRAIL (100ng/ml; R&D MAB375), TNF-α (5µg/ml; R&D MAB210) or FasL (1µg/ml; R&D MAB126) immediately following UVB exposure.

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.
