Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The cellular cytotoxicity of the MSNs and ICG/MSNs-RGD was assessed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay (Promega, China). GFP-transfected luciferase-expressing human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (Hep-G2-GFP-fLuc cells), which expressed αvβ3 receptors and MDA-MB-231-fLuc human mammary cancer cells were purchased from the Academy of Military Medical Sciences (China) and cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM; Hyclone, China) supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Promega) at 37 °C in an atmosphere containing 5% CO2. Cells were seeded into 96-well microtiter plates at 10,000 cells per well. After incubation for 24 h, the cells were washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and the medium was replaced with fresh medium containing various concentrations of the MSNs or ICG/MSNs-RGD (30, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, and 400 μg/mL). An equivalent volume of fresh medium (200 μL/well) was added to the control wells. After 24 h incubation, the treated cells were washed with PBS, and then fresh medium (100 μL) and MTT solution (10 μL, 5 mg/mL in PBS) were added to each well and cultured for another 4 h. The old medium was removed, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO; 120 μL; China) was added to each well. The absorbance at 490 nm was read using a microplate reader to calculate relative cell viabilities.

A cohort of 11-week-old ND-fed male Napepld∆Hep and WT mice were anesthetized with Ketamine-Xylazine (Nimatek, Eurovet Animal Health BV, Bladel, Netherlands-Rompun, Bayer Healthcare, Loos, France) solution. The mice were surgically opened and the liver was infused with a PBS solution containing EGTA and HEPES buffer injected in the portal vein via a 26 g needle at a rate of 9 mL/min for 10 min. Warm (37 °C) digestion medium including DMEM/F12, no glutamine (Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA), Penicillin-Streptomycin, HEPES buffer, thermolysin (Promega, Madison, WI, USA), collagenase G (Abiel, Palermo, Italy) and collagenase H (Abiel, Palermo, Italy) was then added for 7 min. The liver was then removed and incubated with the medium at 37 °C for 15 min for further digestion. The obtained solution was then filtered (70 µm) and centrifuged twice (4 °C, 50 g, 2 min) to allow the separation between hepatocytes and non-parenchymal cells (NPC). The resulting pellet contained the hepatocytes whereas NPC were enriched in the supernatant. After isolating the two fractions in different tubes, they were centrifuged (4 °C, 10,000× g, 10 min) and pellets were stored in −80 °C prior TriPure RNA extraction.

DRG were harvested from neonatal Wistar rats (3–5 days old). Ganglia were digested with 0.25% (w/v) collagenase (type IA) in DMEM-glutamax (Invitrogen) with 1% penicillin-streptomycin (5000 U/mL, Invitrogen) for 1 h (37 °C, 5% CO2). After digestion, rat DRG was mechanically dissociated using a glass Pasteur pipette. Single cell suspension was passed through a 100 μm cell strainer, and washed with DMEM glutamax plus 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Invitrogen) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin. Cells were seeded at the 30 μL of medium containing cells on MEA chambers previously coated with poly-L-lysine (8.33 μg/mL) and laminin (5 μg/mL). After 2 h, medium was replaced with DMEM glutamax, 10% FBS and 1% penicillin-streptomycin, supplemented with mouse 2.5s NGF 50 ng/mL (Promega), and 1.25 μg/mL cytosine arabinoside when required (37°C, 5% CO2). All experiments were made 48 h after cell seeding.

LDLR and PCSK9 NanoBiT Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The full-length coding sequence for LDLR was cloned into the pNB3K NanoBiT cloning vector (Promega) to yield the fusion protein LgBiT-GSSGGGGSGGGGSSG-AIA-LDLR. The native LDLR signal sequence was removed and replaced with the interleukin-6 signal sequence (amino acid sequence: MNSFSTSAFGPVAFSLGLLLVLPAAFPAP). The full-length coding sequence for PCSK9 was cloned into the pNB2K NanoBiT cloning vector (Promega) to yield the fusion protein PCSK9-VSQ-GSSGGGGSGGGGSSG-SmBiT-Histag. HEK293 transfection was carried out using FuGENE® HD Transfection Reagent (Promega) at a lipid:DNA ratio of 3:1. After 48 h, media with transfection reagent were removed and replaced with DMEM media (Thermo Fisher Scientific) containing 10% FBS, penicillin/streptomycin, and 400 µg/ml G418 (Promega). A pool of cells stably transfected with LgBiT-LDLR were selected that gave a high signal in the PCSK9-LDLR binding assay. The LgBiT-LDLR cells were subjected to fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis to interrogate the integrity of the receptor. The LgBiT-LDLR was labeled with anti-LDLR antibody, which suggests that the receptor localized to the cell membrane and displayed as expected. A pool of cells stably transfected with PCSK9-SmBiT were selected and maintained. Stability of both stable cell pools was confirmed to 20 passages.

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.
