10 protocols using recombinant rat tnf α

1

Measurement of SSAO Activity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Transfected cells were washed twice with serum-free DMEM and stimulated with rat recombinant TNF-α (0.1 to 1ng/mL, Peprotech) for 17 h. The cells were then incubated with 250µM benzylamine at 37°C for 2 h. Since benzylamine is a substrate for both SSAO and MAO-B, the cells were pretreated with 0.5mM pargylin, a MAO-B inhibitor, for 30 min. SSAO activity in the supernatant was measured using a Fluoro SSAO kit (Cell technology).

Transfected cells were washed twice with serum-free DMEM and stimulated with rat recombinant TNF-α (0.1 to 1ng/mL, Peprotech) for 17 h. The cells were then incubated with 200µM spermine and 1mg/mL human serum albumin in PBS at 37°C. The level of FDP-Lys in the supernatant was determined using an ELISA kit (MK-150, Takara Bio).

Myotube Differentiation and Treatment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Myoblasts derived from rat skeletal muscle (L6 cells; ATCC, Manassas, Virginia, USA) were cultured in 6-well plates containing Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS), 1% penicillin-streptomycin at 37°C under a humidified 5%CO2/95%O2 atmosphere. When myoblasts were approximately 75% confluent, myotube differentiation was initiated by replacing the growth medium with differentiation medium: DMEM supplemented with 1% FBS. Differentiation was allowed to continue for 7 days before experimentation.
Fully differentiated L6 myotubes were treated and incubated for 24 h with recombinant rat TNFα (PeproTech, Princeton, New Jersey, USA) (10 μg/ml) and/or D-Trp(8)-γMSH (American Peptide, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) (0, 50 and 200 nM) or DMEM alone. At this concentration (10μg/ml) TNFα induces activation of NF-kB and down-regulation of IGF-I and Akt in C2C12 cells [26 (link)]. At the end of the incubation period, total RNA or proteins from cells were extracted.

Rat TNF-α Stimulation of BMEC and SCMEC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The day of the experiment, the inserts containing the BMEC and SCMEC monolayers were transferred to new six-well plates without astrocytes and stimulated for 12, 24, and 48 h with recombinant rat TNF-α 5 ng/mL (Peprotech, Rocky Hill, NJ, USA). Supernatants were collected, centrifuged, and stored at −80 °C until analysis. Rat CCL2 levels were evaluated using commercially available ELISA kits (Peprotech) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. All samples were analyzed in duplicates.

Baicalin Modulates Rat PASMC Response to TNF-α

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Rats PASMC were purchased from Procell Life Science & Technology Co, Ltd., and cultured in special culture medium (Procell) supplemented with 100 Ug/mL of penicillin, 100 IU/mL streptomycin, and 10% fetal bovine serum at 37°C in an incubator. Cells were passaged after 80% confluence, digested with 0.05% trypsin including 0.04% ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA, Sigma‐Aldrich) in PBS. Recombinant rat TNF‐α was purchased from PeproTech (Cat:400‐14). Cells were treated with TNF‐α (5 ng/mL) for 24 h at 37°C in the presence of baicalin (100 μg/mL) for treatment or an equal volume of DMSO in culture medium group, respectively.

Permeability Assay for Barrier Integrity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After 24 h inflammation with recombinant rat TNF-α (5 ng/mL, Peprotech), barrier integrity of the in vitro models was controlled with Lucifer Yellow (LY CH lithium salt, Sigma Aldrich), a small hydrophilic molecule (MW 457 g/mol) retained by the monolayers as previously described [12 ]. Briefly, quantification of the LY paracellular leakage from the luminal to the abluminal compartment was assessed by fluorimetric analysis (excitation at 430 nm and emission at 535 nm) and expressed in LY permeability, Pe(LY). Barrier integrity was validated for Pe(LY) below 0.6.10−3 cm/min.

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.
