Cox 2

Manufactured by Sangon
Sourced in China

COX-2 is a laboratory equipment product designed for the detection and measurement of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme activity. COX-2 is an important enzyme involved in the production of prostaglandins, which play a role in inflammation and other physiological processes. The COX-2 product provides a tool for researchers to study the regulation and function of this enzyme in various experimental models and biological systems.

RAW 264.7 macrophages (1 × 106 cells/mL) were cultured with SZF at concentrations of 25, 50 and 100 μg/mL, respectively. After 24 h incubation, a Trizol assay kit was applied on the conditioned cells to extract total RNA. Briefly, 1 μg of RNA was determined using qRT-PCR, and PCR amplification was carried out via incorporation of SYBR green (Roche). The amplification primer sequences GAPDH, iNOS, and COX-2 involved in this experiment were purchased from Sangon Biotech (Shanghai), GAPDH: Forward-GGTGAAGGTCGGTGTGAACG, Reverse-CTCG-CTCCTGGAAGATGGTG; iNOS: Forward-CCTCCTCGTTCAGCTCACCT, Reverse-CAATCCACAACTCGCTCCAA; COX-2: Forward- TGAGTACCGCAAA-CGCTTCT, Reverse- ACGAGGTTTTTCCACCAGCA. The expression of genes was analyzed using the 2-△△Ct method.

The Antarctic diatom (Phaeodactylum tricornutum ICE-H) used in this experiment was isolated and purified from seawater and sea ice near the Zhongshan Research Station of Antarctica (S 69°48′, E 77°48′) during China’s 18th Antarctic Scientific Expedition [54 (link)]. Phaeodactylum tricornutum ICE-H was cultivated in a low-temperature light incubator after being infected in a triangle flask with f/2 media [55 (link)] at a 30% inoculation level. The light cycle was 12 L:12 D, the light intensity was 40 μmol m−2 s−1, and the culture temperature was 4 ± 1 °C. The reagent kits for the measurement of ROS, MDA, Hyp, ABTS, and DPPH were purchased from Servicebio Technology Co., Ltd. (Wuhan, China).

The supernatant was separated from cell lysate via centrifugation at 12,000×g for 15 min at 4°C. Protein samples were separated by12% SDS-PAGE and transferred to a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (PVDF, Millipore, Bedford, MA USA). Membranes were blocked in TBST buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 100 mM NaCl, and 0.1% Tween-20) with 5% nonfat dry milk for 1 h. The blots were then incubated with primary antibodies anti-TLR4, NF-κB, COX2, IL-1β, TNF-α, β-actin, phospho-TLR4, and phospho-NF-κB p65 (Ser529) (Sangon, Shanghai, China) overnight at 4°C. The blots were rinsed with TBST buffer and incubated with HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit and anti-mouse secondary antibodies (at 1 : 5000 dilution, Sangon, Shanghai, China). Target proteins were visualized using chemiluminescence horseradish peroxidase (Millipore, Bedford, MA USA) and analyzed by densitometry using ImageQuant software (Molecular Dynamics, Sunnyvale, CA, USA).

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.
