Example 5

Human dermal fibroblast (HDF) cells (3×104) were seeded in a 24-well plate. The next day, the cells were incubated in 5% serum medium for 42 hours, treated with MMP2 (20 ng/ml, SIGMA/USA) and CG-Noverin or CG-Renuin, respectively, and incubated for 6 hours. The supernatant obtained from centrifugation at 14,000×g for 10 minutes was analyzed using the pro-collagen type I kit (RnD system/USA).

Human dermal fibroblast (HDF) cells (3×104) were seeded in a 24-well plate, and then the next day, the medium was exchanged with a 5% serum medium. The cells were treated with IGF-1 (100 ng/ml, Sigma/USA), followed by incubation for 44 hours, and then the cells were treated with MMP2 (20 ng/ml) and CG-Noverin or CG-Renuin, respectively, followed by incubation for 4 hours. The supernatant obtained from centrifugation at 14,000×g for 10 minutes was analyzed using the pro-collagen type I kit.

As a result of testing whether CG-Renuin and CG-Noverin have functions of inhibiting the collagen degradation induced by MMP2, it was verified that the MMP2 treatment increased the intracellular degradation of collagen when compared with a control group, and inhibited the induction of collagen degradation by co-treatment with CG-Renuin or CG-Noverin (FIGS. 6a-6b and 7a-7b).

KP‐457 and GM‐6001 were tested for their ability to inhibit MMP‐ and ADAM‐catalyzed cleavage of substrates in a fluorescence‐based assay. Human ADAM17, ADAM10, and MMP17 were from R&D Systems (Minneapolis, MN, http://www.rndsystems.com), and human MMP1, MMP2, MMP3, MMP8, MMP9, MMP13, and MMP14 were from EMD Millipore. MMP1, MMP2, MMP8, MMP9, MMP13, and MMP17 were activated using p‐aminophenylmercuric acetate (Sigma‐Aldrich) before testing. Fluorogenic substrates for measuring activity of ADAM10 and ADAM17 [Nma‐LAQAVRSSK(Dnp)r‐NH2, based on the cleavage site of TNF‐α]; MMP1, MMP9, MMP13, and MMP14 [Dnp‐P‐Cha‐GC(Me)HAK(N‐Me‐Abz)‐NH2]; MMP3 [MOCAc‐RPKPVE‐Nva‐WRK(Dnp)‐NH2]; and MMP2, MMP8, and MMP17 [MOCAc‐PLGL‐A2pr(Dnp)‐AR‐NH2] were all provided by Peptide Institute (Osaka, Japan, https://www.peptide.co.jp/en) and used as substrates. In addition, inhibitory activities were measured using LC/MS/MS with a GPIbα‐based substrate peptide (KKTIPELDQPPKLRGVLQGHLESSRNDPFLHPDF), a C terminal‐based standard peptide (VLQGHLESSRNDPFLHPDF), and an internal standard peptide (VTTGKGQDHSPFWGF). These peptides were synthetized by Scrum (Tokyo, Japan, http://www.scrum‐net.co.jp/english/top_en.htm).

MMP-2 (Life Technologies, UK) and MMP-9 (Invitrogen, UK) ELISAs were carried out as per the manufacturers instruction. For each ELISA, samples of DMEM were included as controls and cell supernatant was diluted 1/10 with standard diluent. For MMP-2 ELISA, an additional positive control was also included of 0.1 mg/mL MMP-2 spiked (Sigma Aldrich, USA) serum free media (complete DMEM without FBS addition). ELISA plates were read at 450 nm using Clariostar microplate reader (BMG Labtech, Germany).

Enzymatic Digestion of Antibodies by MMP-2

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The pro-antibody or antibody samples were incubated with 5 μg/ml MMP-2 (type IV collagenase, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) or buffer only (DMEM) for different incubation times (1, 5, 10, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes). In our experiments, we opted to use a higher concentration of MMP-2 (1 μg/200 μL, 2700 μU/μg solid enzymes; μU, Furylacryloyl-Leu-Gly-Pro-Ala (FALGPA) peptide hydrolysis activity in microunits) and a shorter digestion time (1 h) as compared to prolonged digestion by lower concentrations of MMP-2 in the colorectal cancer tumor tissues (4762.5 μU/mg protein)45 (link). After MMP-2 digestion, samples were mixed with 6× sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) reducing loading dye for gel electrophoresis and western blotting analyses, or mixed with 10% cosmic calf serum for ELISA experiments.

Human elastin fragments (ELNf) were generated by in vitro digestion with MMP-2 and MMP-9 (Sigma) per manufacturer’s instructions. Relative antibody concentrations specific to human collagen V (COLV) and ELNf were assayed via a previous described modified ELISA protocol.15 In short, respective antigenic peptides were dissolved in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) to a stock working solution of 25 ug/mL. This stock solution was used to coat a high protein binding 96-well polystyrene plate (Sigma) for two hours at 37 °C or overnight at 4 °C. Copious washings were performed between all steps with PBS-T (Tween 20, Sigma). The 96-well plate was blocked with 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA, Sigma) for two hours at 37 °C or overnight at 4 °C. Plasma samples were then sequentially diluted up to 1:1000 to determine optimal concentrations and incubated for two hours at 37 °C or overnight at 4 °C. A goat anti-human IgG Fc antibody conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (HRP, Sigma) was utilized as a secondary antibody per manufacturer’s recommended dilution for a duration of one hour at 37 °C. Reactions were performed using a 1-step TMB turbo substrate (Sigma) for 30 minutes before a 1 M sulfuric acid stop solution was added. Absorbance at 450 nm was measured within 30 minutes to calculate relative self-antibody concentrations.

Radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer (RIPA) was used to extract proteins from cells, which were separated by 10% sodium dodecylsulfate-polyaclylamidegel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and then transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes. The membranes were blocked with 5% skimmed milk resolved in PBS (pH 7.4, with 0.1% Tween 20) for 60 min. Afterward, primary antibodies was added to the membrane which were incubated at 37°C for 60 minutes. After removal of excess primary antibody, horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-linked secondary antibody diluted in 0.01 M PBS was added to the membrane and incubated at room temperature for 30 min, and then washed with 0.01 M PBS for four times. Enhanced BM chemiluminescence blotting substrate (Roche Diagnostics) was used to detect the antigens. The luminescence intensity was quantified by Image J. mouse-anti-human HIF-1α (1:250, Sigma-Aldrich), MMP-2 (1:1000, Sigma-Aldrich), VEGF (1:1000, Sigma-Aldrich), and MVD (1:1000, Sigma-Aldrich).

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.
