Phytochemical Interventions in ICR Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After stabilization, the ICR mice were randomly assigned to a control group (n = 8), three groups treated with phytochemicals including Curcumin (n = 8), quercetin (n = 8), and saponin (n = 8), respectively. A positive control group was also established (n = 8). Curcumin, quercetin, and saponin were orally administered daily at a dose of 50 mg/kg body weight regularly. In the positive control group, perindopril was orally administered daily at a dose of 1 mg/kg body weight, under similar conditions as the phytochemical-treated groups. The test materials, quercetin (95%), saponin (8–25%), Curcumin (Curcuma longa L., 65%) and perindopril were purchased from Sigma (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). Curcumin, quercetin, saponin and perindopril were dissolved in 0.1% Tween 80 (Sigma-Aldrich Co., St. Louis, MO, USA) according to the daily dose immediately prior to administration. The control group was treated with the same amount of physiological saline.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Methanol (MEOH), acetonitrile (ACN), acetic acid (AcOH), and ammonium acetate (AmAc) were supplied by Merck (Darmstadt, Germany) and all the mobile phase solvents and reagents were high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC)-grade with ≥99% purity. Ultra-pure water was prepared from a Milli-Q water purification system (MA, USA). Standard pharmaceuticals (metformin, ibuprofen, mefenamic acid, simvastatin, caffeine, diclofenac, perindopril, and nifedipine) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Schnelldorf, Germany). The acetaminophen reference standard material was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). The purity of all standards used in this study was ≥98%. A 1000 mg L−1 stock standard solution was prepared for each pharmaceutical by dissolving an appropriate amount of each analytical standard of pharmaceuticals in methanol. Working solutions (5 mg L−1) were prepared from the 1000 mg L−1 stock solutions by adding 50 μL of each stock solution to a 10 mL volumetric flask and then methanol was used to fill it up to the mark. A series of standard solutions for the calibration was conducted using the working solution and diluting with water: methanol (2 : 1 v/v) at pH 10. The mixture was adjusted to pH 10 using ammonium hydroxide, 1 M.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell culture: hRECs purchased from Angio-Proteomie (Boston, MA) were cultured in a Human Microvascular Endothelial Cell Medium (Cell Applications, Inc., San Diego, CA, Cat. No. 111–500). Experiments were performed between cell passages 3 and 8. Cells were maintained in an incubator at 37 °C under a humidified 5% CO2: 95% air atmosphere. The media were changed twice a week. For HG experiments, hRECs were seeded in 12-well plates at 1.5 × 105 cells/well and cultured either in physiologic (5 mmol/l) for 72 h or in 5.5 mM for 24 h and then challenged with HG (33 mmol/l) for 48 h. The HG-mediated induction of VEGF/VEGFR, which was conducted independently of Ang II, was investigated by treating cells with angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor perindopril (10 µmol/l, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) for 24 h. This was followed by stimulation with HG for 48 h. Then, siRNAs (20 nM) and miRNAs (20 nM mimics or 50 nM antagomirs) were transfected using the Lipofectamine 2000 reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

D2-mdx mice were randomised into four treatment groups (n = 8/group) as follows: (1) Vehicle control (phosphate-buffered saline (PBS)+Debio-025 carrier), (2) Perindopril (2 mg/kg/day; P0094, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), (3) Debio-025 (20 mg/kg/day; Alisporivir; Debiopharm Research & Manufacturing SA, Martigny, Switzerland), and (4) Perindopril (2 mg/kg/day)+Debio-025 (20 mg/kg/day). Treatments were delivered via oral gavage as a volume of 0.1 mL. Treatment began at 12 weeks of age for six weeks.

ARPE-19 Cells Glucose Response Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ARPE-19 cells were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA, USA). ARPE-19 cell line was authenticated by a short tandem repeat (STR) analysis as shown in Supplementary Appendix 1. ARPE-19 cells were grown in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM): F12 supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal calf serum (FCS) and a mixture of streptomycin (100 µg/mL)-penicillin (100 IU/mL) (LONZA), and passaged twice a week. ARPE-19 cells were incubated at 37 °C, and 5% CO2 and 90% relative humidity. For glucose treatment, cells were exposed to 5.5 mM (normoglycemia, NG) as control or 33 mM d-glucose (hyperglycemia or high glucose, HG) and cultured for 48 h. To study HG-mediated induction of PRR signaling independently of Ang II, cells were treated with angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor perindopril (10 µmol/L, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) for 24 h, followed by stimulation with human prorenin (Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI, USA, Item # 10007599) at a final concentration of 10 nmol/l and HG for 48 h. Specificity of ROS generation by Nox was assessed by treating hyperglycemic cells with the inhibitors of NADPH oxidase [diphenyleneiodonium, (DPI), 10 µM], nitric oxide synthase [NG-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME), 500 µM], mitochondrial O2 synthesis (Rotenone, 10 µM), and xanthine oxidase (Allopurinol, 100 µM) for 24 h.

Drug Efficacy on Stroke Pathology

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Animals used in the drug study were individually housed and fed with the drugs mixed in with highly palatable baby food daily from the age of 5 weeks, after pathology first appears, to the age of 12 weeks. Animals were treated in five batches, with each batch containing one animal randomly assigned to each treatment group. Analysis suggested a minimum of five animals per treatment group to detect an effect size of 35% with 80% power (67) . One animal, which died before the age of 12 weeks without stroke pathology, was not included in the final analysis. Drugs were administered at doses based on previously published data demonstrating their efficacy at either lowering blood pressure or improving endothelial dysfunction when administered orally in rats: simvastatin (2 mg/kg per day; Sigma) (32, 33) , perindopril (2 mg/kg per day; Sigma) (68) , cilostazol (60 mg/kg per day; Sigma) (69) , and H+H (16 mg/kg per day; Sigma) (70) (table S2). Blood pressure was measured before treatment, and weekly after treatment started, by tail-cuff plethysmography. Myelin rarefaction was ranked blind to group from Luxol fast blue/cresyl violet-stained sections.

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.
