Sulforhodamine B and Compound C were purchased from Sigma Aldrich. IOX2 was purchased from Selleckchem. DMEM high-glucose medium, foetal bovine serum (FBS), penicillin, streptomycin and BCA protein assay kits were purchased from the Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology (Jiangsu, China). The primary antibodies were diluted 1:1000 before use, including AMPK (Cat. # sc-25792, Santa Cruz Biotechnologies), p-AMPK (Cat. # sc-33524, Santa Cruz Biotechnologies), HIF-1α (Cat. #113642 Abcam), P-gp (Cat. # sc-55510, Santa Cruz Biotechnologies), p53 (Cat. # 10442-1-AP, Proteintech), Bax (Cat. # sc-7480, Santa Cruz Biotechnologies), Cytochrome c (Cat. # sc-13561, Santa Cruz Biotechnologies), Caspase 9 (Cat. # 842, Cell signaling), Caspase 3 (Cat. # 836, Cell signaling), PARP (Cat. # 1442, Cell signaling) and GAPDH (Cat. # sc-25778, Santa Cruz Biotechnologies). All the chemical compounds were analytically pure reagents.

SKOV3 was purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA, USA), and ES-2, OVCAR3, 3AO, A2780 were acquired from the Chinese academy of sciences cell bank (Shanghai, China), while Hey were kindly provided by GeneChem (Shanghai, China). All cell lines were maintained in RMPI 1640 culture medium (Sigma, USA) supplemented with 10% foetal bovine serum (Kangwei, China) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin antibiotics (Beyotime, China) in a humidified (5% CO2, 95% air, 37 °C) incubator.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary mouse aortic smooth muscle cells (MAoSMCs) were isolated from 6-week-old C57BL/6 mice as described previously [24 (link)]. MAoSMCs were grown to confluence in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium:F12 medium supplemented with 10% foetal bovine serum and 1% penicillin/streptomycin(GM) (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Shanghai, China) at 37 °C in 5% CO2 infusion and humidified air. Cells from passages 3 to 8 were used in all experiments. The medium was replaced every 2 d. To induce calcification, MAoSMCs were maintained in the presence of calcifying medium (CM) containing 10 mM β-glycerophosphate and 3 mM calcium chloride for 7 d, after which alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was assessed and western blotting was performed. The cells were treated for 12–14 d for calcium concentration and alizarin red staining.

Mouse Oocyte Purification Protocol

Oocyte purification was performed as described previously [69 (link)]. In brief, mouse ovaries were isolated and digested with 90 μl of TrypLE (12,604,021, Thermo, New York, US) at 37 °C for 10 min under constant shock. Digestion was terminated by adding 10 μl foetal bovine serum (C0235, Beyotime, Shanghai, China). After centrifugation at 1000 rpm for 1 min, the supernatant was discarded, and the cells were treated with 80 μl hypotonic buffer (30 mM Tris–HCl, 17 mM trisodium citrate dihydrate, 50 mM sucrose, 5 mM EDTA, 0.5 mM DTT, pH 8.2) containing proteinase inhibitor (1:100, P1005, Beyotime, Shanghai, China) for 30 min. Slides were pretreated with 20 μl of fixation buffer (1% paraformaldehyde, pH 9.2 with 50 mM boric acid) containing 0.15% Triton X-100 (T9284, Sigma, Missouri, USA) applied evenly on slides in advance. Then, 20 μl aliquots of the cell suspension were dripped onto the slides, which were incubated at 37 °C for 4 h in a humidified box. The samples were left to dry at room temperature. Then, immunofluorescence staining was performed according to the protocol described above.

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.
