Monitoring BFTC905 cAMP Levels

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The intracellular cAMP level of BFTC905 cells was monitored via the cAMP-GloTM assay by Promega (Madison, WI, United States). BFTC905 were seeded on a 96 well plate (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, United States) at a density of 20,000 cells per well 1 day prior to the experiment. Cells were washed in induction buffer (Ringer’s solution containing 500 μM IBMX and 100 μM Ro 20-1724) and incubated with Sandranol alone or Sandranol with the specific adenylyl cyclase inhibitor SQ22536 (100 μM, Abcam, Cambridge, United Kingdom) diluted in induction buffer for 20 min. As controls, 0.1% DMSO or 0.1% DMSO with 100 μM SQ22536 were used. The assay was conducted according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Luminescence was monitored via a plate reader (Packard, PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, United States) and relative light units were normalized to the DMSO (0.1%) control.

Inhibition of Adenylyl Cyclase Regulates cAMP

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Differentiated 3T3-L1 cells were pretreated for 1 h with 0.5% (v/v) DMSO alone (vehicle) or 10 μmol/L of the adenylyl cyclase selective inhibitor SQ22536 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) dissolved in DMSO and diluted in serum-free DMEM. Differentiated 3T3-L1 cells cultured using the transwell method were treated with butyrate, PGE2, PTX, or SQ22536 for 24 h. Protein was extracted from 3T3-L1 cells cultured in the lower chamber, and cAMP levels were determined using a cAMP Total EIA kit in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. The results were standardized by dividing the cAMP concentration by the intracellular total protein concentration (1 mg/mL).

Comprehensive Odorant Preparation and Pharmacological Inhibition

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Unless otherwise stated, all odorants of the highest purity available were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (SI Appendix, Table S1). Odorants were freshly prepared on each day of the experiments; they were first reconstituted in DMSO and serially diluted in the appropriate buffer or media. The following pharmacological inhibitors were reconstituted in DMSO, kept at −20 °C, and diluted in the appropriate buffer or media prior to experiments: gallein, U73122, iberiotoxin, charybdotoxin, MRS1845, CaCCinh-A01, H89, CFTRinh-172 (all from Tocris), SQ22536 (Abcam), l-cis diltiazem (Enzo Life Sciences), verapamil (Sigma), and ivacaftor (VX-770, Selleck).

Fura-2-AM Intracellular Ca2+ Imaging

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Thyroid cells were incubated for 30 min in loading buffer containing Ringer’s solution (140 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 5 mM CaCl2, 5 mM MgCl2, and 1 mM HEPES) and Fura-2-AM (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, United States). Subsequently, the loading buffer got removed and the cells were rinsed with Ringer solution. The analysis was performed using an Olympus fluorescence microscope (IX71, Olympus, Shinjuku, Japan), a polychromator (MT 20, Olympus), and 10x objective (Olympus). The images were recorded at integrated fluorescence ratios (f340/f380) via the Cell-R Software (Olympus). The analyzed area was randomly selected. The inhibitors: SQ22536 (10 μM, Abcam, Cambridge, United Kingdom), U-73122 hydrate (2 μM, Sigma-Aldrich; St. Louis, United States), and L-cis Diltiazem (100 μM, Abcam) were dissolved in DMSO or aqua dest according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Senescence

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MSCs were isolated from discarded adipose tissue removed from healthy patients undergoing liposuction surgery, as described [22] . Informed consent was obtained from all patients. The procedure was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College. The isolated cells were seeded in T75 asks containing 12 mL culture medium and incubated under humidi ed conditions at 37°C and 5% CO 2 . MSCs were continuously cultured to the third passage and then used for experiments. Cells were either left untreated or treated for 24 h with forskolin (60 µM, Target Mol, Boston, MA, USA). Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamic acid (PDTC, Beyotime, Shanghai, China) 100µM or adenylate cyclase inhibitor SQ22536 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) 30µM were added to study their effects on MSCs senescence.

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.
