The mouse macrophage cell line RAW264.7 was purchased from ATCC and incubated in RPMI 1,640 with 10% fetal bovine plasma in a 37°C sterile incubator with 5% CO2. Cells were seeded in 6- or 24 -well plates and exposed to TPPU (1 μM, Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, Mich) or 14,15-EET (1 μM, Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, Mich) for 4 h after they reached 80% to 90% confluence. LPS (1 μg/mL) was then added and co-incubated for 12 h. 14,15-EEZE (an inhibitor of 14,15-EET, 1 μM, Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, Mich) was added 1 h before LPS stimulation.

Wound Healing Promotion with EET Derivatives

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Wounds were created on the dorsum of both ears three days after the induction of ischemia. To attain a standard size of the wounds a circular punch (diameter 2.25 mm) was used to incise a full thickness layer of ear skin down to the underlying cartilage, as described previously. After the punch incision, the skin was carefully removed from the underlying cartilage. Subsequently, the wound was covered with a small methylcellulose pad according to the treatment group with or without 11,12 EET or 14,15 EET (Cayman Chemical Company, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA). Pads were manufactured by taking 200μl of 2,5% carboxymethylcellulose in PBS and adding either 200μl ethanol for control or 160μl ethanol and 40μl of 95% 11,12 EET or 98% 14,15 EET to the mixture. To obtain a pad the mixture was dried for 20 minutes on a hot plate at 37° Celsius on parafilm.
Finally, the entire ear was covered with a bioadhesive dressing (Opsite; Smith and Nephew Medical Ltd., Tuttlingen, Germany) [24 ,22 (link)].

Hepatocyte Isolation and Insulin Stimulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary hepatocytes were isolated by collagenase/EGTA perfusion as published elsewhere (18 ) from male C3HeB/FeJ mice. Following preparation, hepatocytes were resuspended in Williams E Medium (Gibco, Paisley, UK, Catalogue Number 32551), 10% (v/v) FCS, 100 nm dexamethasone. The hepatocyte cell lines Hepa 1–6 and BNL CL.2 were obtained from ATCC (Manassas, VA) and cultured in DMEM (Gibco, Catalogue Number 41966), 10% (v/v) FCS.
For stimulation experiments, cells were seeded onto collagen I coated six-well plates and cultured in serum-free starvation medium (Williams E Medium and DMEM for primary hepatocytes and hepatocyte cell lines, respectively). Subsequently, cells were pre-treated with EETs (4 μm of 5(6)-EET, 8(9)-EET, 11(12)-EET and 14(15)-EET (Cayman Chemicals, Ann Arbor, MI) or vehicle (DMSO) in starvation medium for 1h at 37 °C 5% CO2. Next, cells were stimulated with starvation medium containing the indicated concentrations of human insulin (Sigma-Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany) with or without EETs at the same concentration as above. Stimulation media for this second step were supplemented with Phosphatase Inhibitor Mixture 2 and 3, (Sigma-Aldrich) at 1:200. DMSO was added to wells without EETs to yield the same final concentration in all wells of the experiment. Cells were incubated for 20, 40 or 60 min at 37 °C 5% CO2 and scraped into 50 μl RIPA buffer.

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.
