Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Inhibition of COX-1/2 was accomplished by use of indomethacin (Cayman Chemicals, Ann Arbor, MI). indomethacin (0.00325%, w/v) was dissolved in ethanol (0.5%, v/v) and administered by means of oral drinking water for one week prior to bone marrow transplantation with BCR-ABL LSCs, as described previously (23 (link), 28 (link), 29 (link)). In a subset of Δ12-PGJ3 rescue experiments, administration of exogenous Δ12-PGJ3 was performed as described previously (2 (link)). In brief, mice were given daily intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of Δ12-PGJ3 (0.025mg/kg) in 500 µl of sterile PBS for seven days, starting at day-7 post-transplant until sacrifice at day-14. HQL-79 (Cayman Chemicals, Ann Arbor, MI) was used to inhibit the activity of H-PGDS. HQL-79 (30 mg/kg body weight) was administered by i.p. injection every other day (3–4 times/week) from day zero (day of transplant) until day 14 (total of seven injections). HQL-79 was resuspended in a solution of 0.05 mM citric acid and 11.1 mM hydroxypropyl beta-cyclodextrin (HPBCD; Sigma, St. Louis) and incubated for >10 minutes at 37 °C, until dissolved. Mice were injected with this formation within 10 minutes of preparation. All mice were euthanized on day 14 post-transplant.

Subconjunctival injection is routinely used in clinical treatment and in experimental studies of ocular diseases (Wang et al., 2020a (link)). Anesthetized mice were injected subconjunctivally with 10 μL solution per injection. miR-223-5p antagomir (20 μmol/L) from GenePharma (Shanghai, China), miRNA antagomir negative control (NC) (20 μmol/L) from GenePharma (Shanghai, China). HQL-79 (50 μg/ml) (Cayman, 10134), and vehicle (2% methanol) were injected subconjunctivally 24 h before and 0 h after injury. At 24 h after wounding, corneas were collected for qRT-PCR, western blot and immunofluorescence staining. On the fifth day after the corneal epithelial debridement, corneas were used for corneal whole-mount staining and corneal sensitivity measurement. In the untreated normal and diabetic mice, the right eyes were untreated after injury.

Purified human eosinophils or mouse eosinophils at 2 × 106 cells/mL or 3 × 106 cells/mL in Ca2+/Mg2+ HBSS (HBSS+/+; pH 7.4) were pre-treated with the PI3K inhibitors wortmannin (1 μM; Biomol) and LY294002 (10 μM; Cayman Chemicals), PKC inhibitor calphostin C (1 μM; Biomol), pertussis toxin (PTX; 100 ng/mL), neutralizing monoclonal antibodies anti-CCL5 (10 μg/mL) and anti-CCR3 (10 μg/mL) (both from R&D), the PAF receptor antagonist BN52021 (10 μM), PGD2 receptor antagonists BWA868c (200 nM; DP1 receptor) and Cay10471 (200 nM; DP2 receptor, or PGD2 synthesis inhibitors HQL-79 (10 μM; H-PGDS) and AT-56 (10 μM; L-PGDS) (all from Cayman Chemicals) at 37°C for 30 min before stimulation with human recombinant (hr) or mouse recombinant (mr) leptin (0.5, 5, or 50 nM, as indicated; Peprotech) for 15 or 60 min in a water bath (37°C). Alternatively, eosinophils were also stimulated with PAF (1-O-hexadecyl-2-acetyl-sn-glyceryl-3-phosphorylcholine; 1 μM; Cayman Chemicals), hr CCL5 (also known as RANTES−100 ng/mL; R&D) or PGD2 (25 nM; Cayman Chemicals). Each experimental condition was repeated at least three times with eosinophils purified from different donors or differentiated in vitro from different mouse bone marrows.

Modulation of AML splenocyte function by IL-4 and cyclopentenone prostaglandins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Splenocytes were isolated from either normal or AML mice and treated with rmIL-4 (10 ng/mL, 24hr) or CyPGs (Δ12-PGJ2, 15d-PGJ2, and Δ12-PGJ3 at 100 nM in sterile PBS for 24hr) and incubated at 37 °C and 5% CO2. Δ12-PGJ2 and 15d-PGJ2 were purchased from Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI, USA. Δ12-PGJ3 was prepared in our laboratory as described previously.20 (link) All three compounds were prepared fresh before use in sterile PBS and concentrations were calculated by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (not shown). For mRNA expression analysis, primary AML splenocytes were treated with rmIL-4 (10 ng/mL, 24hr); for protein expression analysis, primary AML splenocytes were treated with HQL79 (50 μM) and GW9662 (10 μM) in the presence of rmIL-4 (50 ng/mL) and incubated at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 72 h. For the analyses of apoptosis and viability, primary AML splenocytes were treated with rmIL-4 (0, 50, 100 ng/mL) for 24, 48, and 72 h. At the time point of 48 h, GW9662 (10 μM) was added to the treatment of 50 ng/mL rmIL-4. HQL79 and GW9662 were purchased from Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI, USA, and reconstituted in cell-culture grade dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA).

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.
