Dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons were isolated from mice.3 (link) Cells were washed and incubated with Hank's Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS)+Ca2+, Fluo-4-AM (Invitrogen) and 20% pluronic F-127 (Invitrogen) during 30 min at 37°C followed by 30 min at room temperature before imaging.9 (link) Supernatants from apical or basal compartments of Caco-2 cells culture, stimulated or not by LPS (Escherichia coli serotype K235, ATCC13027), were pre-incubated with the serine protease inhibitor FUT-175 (Futhan) (50 μg/mL) or the trypsin inhibitor leupeptin (100 μM) (all from Calbiochem) for 15 min. Additional recordings were made from DRG neurons after addition of trypsin-3 (10 nM, R&D) or its vehicle (HBSS+0.025% Brij35) in the presence or absence of specific PAR1 (SCH79797, Tocris Bio-Techne, UK) or PAR4 (ML-354, Tocris Bio-Techne) antagonists (all at 10 µM for 5 min). Neurons were identified by addition of high K+ (50 mM) solution at the end of the recording. Fluo-4 was excited at 475 nm, and fluorescence emission was collected at 490/515 nm. Changes in [Ca2+]i are reflected by Fluo-4 fluorescence intensity.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were treated with 111 µM of PAR-1 or -4 peptide agonists (TFLLR or AYPGKF, AnaSpec, Fremont, CA), corresponding scrambled PAR-1 or -4 peptides (RLLFT or YAPGKF, Tocris Bioscience, Minneapolis, MN), 1.0 U/ml thrombin, or cell naïve medium for 1 h. Lysates were prepared, and the media collected, clarified, and concentrated. Then, the proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and analyzed using western blot data generated using the H-78 antibody specific for the linker region between the vWF and TSP-1 domains of Cyr61. For PAR-1 inhibition experiments, cells were first pretreated with or without the PAR-1 antagonist, SCH 79797 (Tocris Bioscience), using a concentration of 25 nM for fibroblasts and 50 nM for myofibroblasts for 30 min. Then, either an additional serum-free medium or a medium containing thrombin at a final concentration of 1.0 U/ml was added to the cultures. Cells were further incubated with the combination treatment for 3 h. Lysates and supernates were collected, prepared, and analyzed for Cyr61 using western blot data generated using the H-78 antibody.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
SARS-CoV-2 was originally isolated from nasopharyngeal swabs of a confirmed case from Rio de Janeiro/Brazil (GenBank accession no. MT710714). The virus was amplified for 2 to 4 days in Vero E6 cell cultures in high-glucose Dulbecco Modified Eagle’s Medium supplemented with 2% fetal bovine serum at 37°C in 5% CO2 atmosphere. Virus titers were determined by the tissue culture infectious dose at 50% and the virus stocks kept in −80°C freezers until use. All procedures involving SARS-CoV-2 culture were performed in a biosafety level 3 facility. Platelets (2 × 107) and monocytes (2 × 105) were infected with SARS-CoV-2 separately or in combination (multiplicity of infection = 0.01 virus per monocyte). In selected experiments, platelet-monocyte cocultures were infected in the presence of abciximab, anti-TF antibodies (clone 10H10 or 5G9), or isotype-matched IgG (50 µg/mL), or the PAR-1 inhibitor SCH79797 (5 µM, Tocris 1592), PAR-2 inhibitor AZ3451 (10 µM, Sigma SML2050), or DMSO (vehicle). After 12 hours of infection, supernatants were harvested and stored for future analysis, and cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for flow cytometry analysis as described in supplemental Material.

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.
