Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Rat PMVECs (CP-R001) were procured from Procell Life Science & Technology Co., Ltd. (Wuhan, Hubei, China) and cultured in PMVEC-specific complete medium (CM-R001, Procell) at 37 °C with 5% CO 2 . Overexpression plasmid of Sema3A (oe-Sema3A) and the negative control (NC) plasmid were provided by GenePharma Co., Ltd. (Shanghai, China). Well-growing PMVECs were seeded into six-well plates. When the confluence reached around 50%, the cells were transfected with the plasmids using Lipofectamine® 2000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA), followed by incubation at 37 °C with 5% CO 2 for 48 h. To induce cell damage, the PMVECs were treated with 1 μg/mL LPS (ST1470, Beyotime Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China) for 4 h. For artificial activation of the ERK/JNK signalling pathways, 4 h after LPS treatment, the cells were treated with 0.1 μM ERK agonist LM22B-10 (HY-104047) or JNK agonist Juglanin (HY-N3442) (both from MedChemExpress, Monmouth Junction, NJ, USA) for 2 h. Overall, the cells were allocated into the following groups: Control (without treatment), LPS, LPS + oe-NC, LPS + oe-Sema3A, LPS+LM22B-10, LPS+LM22B-10+oe-NC, LPS+LM22B-10+oe-Sema3A, LPS+Juglanin, LPS+Juglanin+oe-NC, and LPS+Juglanin+oe-Sema3A.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All animal experiments conducted in this study were approved by the Biomedical Ethics Committee of Xi’an Jiaotong University (2022-1559). Male C57BL/6 aged 6 to 8 weeks were obtained from the Laboratory Animal Center of Xi’an Jiaotong University. All mice were housed in a specific pathogen-free environment according to the animal care regulations (12-hour light/12-hour dark cycle) and fed a standard rodent diet. The ALF experimental model was induced by LPS combined with D-GalN. PNU-282987 was used to activate the CAP.
Mice were randomly divided into three groups and the groups were as follows: control: the mice were treated with vehicle; LPS/D-GalN: the mice received intraperitoneally administered LPS (Sigma-Aldrich, 25 μg/kg) in combination with D-galactosamine (D-GalN, Sigma-Aldrich, 700 mg/kg); PNU+LPS/D-GalN: the mice were intraperitoneally administered with PNU-282987 (PNU, 10mg/kg, MedChemExpress) 30 minutes before LPS/D-GalN injections.

Human peritoneal mesothelial cell line HMrSV5 was purchased from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA). HMrSV5 cells were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) (Gibco, Thermofisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) with adding 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Gibco, Thermofisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), 100 ul/ml streptomycin and 100 U/ml penicillin (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA). The cells were incubated at 37°C humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2 until 50–70% confluence before used. Cells were transferred to serum-free DMEM medium 12 h prior to each experiment. Cells in the control group were maintained in serum-free DMEM medium. For the experimental groups, HMrSV5 cells were treated with high glucose (25 μM) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS0, 910 μg/ml) for 24 h. As for the role of 1,25(OH)2D3, HMrSV5 cells were pre-incubated with 1,25(OH)2D3 (10−6 mol/L) for 2 h and subsequently treated with high glucose (25 μM) and LPS (10 μg/ml) for 24 h. Wnt agonist 1, 0.7 μM for 12 h (MedChem Express, Monmouth Junction, NJ, USA) was also used, as previously described [23 (link)]. Glucose, LPS, and 1,25(OH)2D3 were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). The concentrations of glucose and LPS were determined from the findings of preliminary experiments.

The RAW 264.7 (2 × 105) mouse monocyte line (ATCC TIB-71; American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, VA) was used as the macrophage line. The cells were cultured in 35-mm dishes with high-glucose Dulbecco modified Eagle medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) and 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco). When 70% confluence was reached (generation 3–4), randomization of the cells into the following three groups was performed for subsequent experiments: control, LPS model (LPS group), and PF+LPS groups. LPS (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) was added to the latter two groups at the same time point, and cells in the PF+LPS group were pretreated with 10−5 mol/L PF (MedChemExpress, USA) for 4 hour and cultured for 12 hour after the addition of 1 μg/mL LPS. An equivalent volume of PBS was added to the control group. The cells were cultured in an incubator at 37°C with 5% CO2 prior to further experimentation.

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.
