NO concentration in the cell media was determined using the Griess reagent according to the manufacturer’s protocol and using NaNO2 standard curve. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), tumor necrosis alpha (TNF-α), and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) were quantified in the cell culture media using commercially available kits following the manufacturer’s instructions (PGE2 ELISA from Cayman Chemical (Ann Arbor, MI, USA) and TNF-α and MCP-1 ELISA kits from R&D systems (Minneapolis, MN, USA)).

siRNA-Mediated COX-2 Silencing and PGE2 Regulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The siRNA/compound 4 nanoplex in RPMI 1640 medium solution (concentration of siRNA: 100 nM, N/P = 15) was added to each dish for 8 h incubation. After incubation, cells were incubated in fresh medium for a further 16 h. In TPA treatment experiments, TPA was added to medium at 6 h before harvest. Before harvesting the cells, the supernatant of cell culture medium was collected, and PGE2 ELISA was performed following instructions provided by the manufacturer (Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI). ELISA was performed in triplicates. Total RNA was isolated from cells by using QIA shredder and RNeasy Mini kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer's protocol. The expression of target RNA relative to the housekeeping gene hypoxanthine phosphoribosyl transferase 1 (HPRT1) was calculated based on the threshold cycle (Ct) as R = 2 - Δ(ΔCt), where ΔCt = Ct of target - Ct of HPRT1. Primer for COX-2 was purchased from Qiagen (Cat. No. QT00040586). The following primers against HPRT1-the house keeping gene-Fwd-5'-CCTGGCGTCGTGATTAGTGATG-3' and Rev-5'-CAGAGGGCTACAATGTGATGGC-3' were designed using either Beacon designer software 7.8 (Premier Biosoft, Palo Alto, CA, USA) or a free web-based software Primer3Plus.

Tumor homogenates were harvested from mice treated as indicated, and mechanically disaggregated and digested with triple enzyme mixture (Collagenase type IV, DNase type IV, and Hyaluronidase type V (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO)). Serum was collected through sub-mandibular bleed. In vitro cells infected with virus at MOI=1 for 24 hr or pretreated for 24 hr with 20 nm Celecoxib (BioVision, San Francisco, CA) were pretreated with 20 μm arachidonic acid (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) 4 hr prior to harvest. All experiments were performed in triplicate. Mouse SDF-1(CXCL12), RANTES (CCL5) and I-TAC(CXCL11) ELISA were performed according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Abcam, Cambridge, MA) and PGE2 ELISA were performed according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Cayman, Ann Arbor, Michigan) and optical density was detected with the 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) peroxidase substrate kit (Vector Labs, Burlingame, CA).
For western blot assay, in vitro lysed cell protein was prepared. Mouse HPGD antibody (Abcam,Cambridge, MA), COX2 antibody (BD, Franklin Lakes, New Jersey) and beta-actin antibody (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) were used for Western Blot according to the manufacturer’s protocol.

PGE2 Measurement Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For PGE2 measurements, cells were first stimulated with sEV for 24 h and then treated with 10 μM arachidonic acid (AA, Sigma‐Aldrich, Darmstadt, GER). 15 min after the addition of AA, supernatants were harvested and centrifuged at 17,000×g and 4°C for 5 min to eliminate cell debris. Supernatants were transferred to fresh tubes and PGE2 concentrations were measured using a PGE2 ELISA (514010, Cayman Chemicals, Ann Arbor, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. All samples were measured in duplicates. The absorbance was determined with the Tecan Infinite M 2000 (Tecan Group, Männedorf, CH).

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.
