Culture supernatants were collected and centrifuged at 1,000 × g for 5 min. Samples were snap-frozen and stored at –80°C until analysis. The Human VEGF Quantikine and Interleukin-6 (IL-6) Quantikine ELISA Kits (all from R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, United States) were employed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Absorbance was measured in microplate reader Infinite® 200 PRO (NanoQuant, Tecan Trading AG, Männedorf, Switzerland).

Quantification of Axitinib and VEGF Levels

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Plasma samples for analysis of axitinib and vascular endothelial growth factor ligand (VEGF) concentrations were collected on the same days as PET/CT scans: −3 to 0 days prior to dosing, after 12–14 days of dosing (week 2) and after 5–7 days of drug washout (week 3). VEGF concentrations were measured by a commercially available 96-well plate quantitative sandwich immunoassay (Quantikine® human VEGF, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Axitinib plasma concentrations were measured by a validated LC/MS/MS as previously described [11 (link)].

VEGF Quantification by ELISA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Free VEGF levels were measured by a commercially available ELISA kit (Quantikine® Human VEGF, R&D Systems®, Minneapolis, MN, USA), which detects VEGF-A in human serum, with a detection limit of 9 ng/L, a linearity range of 82%–107%, and an intra-assay CV% 6.7% [45 ]. As per the manufacturer’s instructions, the standard curve was generated with VEGF concentrations ranging from 31.2 to 2000 ng/L. All standards and samples were prepared in duplicates and the optical density was measured at 450 nm, with a correction at 550 nm, using an ELISA plate reader (ThermoMax, Molecular Devices). Data were linearized by plotting the log of the concentrations versus the log of the optical density, and the best-fit line of the standard curve was determined by regression analysis (OriginPro 8.0 software, OriginLab® Corporation, Northampton, MA, USA) [45 ].

Quantitative Analysis of VEGF Secretion

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The secreted VEGF in DU-145 cell line was determined quantitatively using a commercial ELISA kit (cat. no. DVE00, Quantikine Human VEGF; R&D Systems, Inc.) according to the manufacturer's instructions. In brief, cell supernatant was diluted at 1:3 with assay diluent, 150 µl supernatant was added to wells, incubated at room temperature for 2 h and washed three times with 300 µl wash buffer. Then, 200 µl Human VEGF Conjugate was added to each well and incubated and washed as aforementioned. Finally, 200 µl substrate solution was added, color was developed for 20 min and the reaction was stopped with 50 µl STOP solution. Absorbance was measured at 450 nm using a microplate reader (Synergy HT; BioTek Instruments, Inc.); data are expressed as pg/ml (analyzed using Gene5, version 3.08, biotek.com/products/software-robotics–software/gen5-microplate-reader–and-imager-software/).

Evaluating Skeletal Myoblast Competence for Cardiac Transplantation

Example 2

Subsequently, the two kinds of sheet-shaped cell cultures of skeletal myoblasts, Sheet A and Sheet B, were examined for the capacity of yielding cytokine by using the following measurement kits. Quantikine Human VEGF (made by R&D Systems Inc.), Quantikine Human CXCL 12/SDF-1α (made by R&D Systems Inc.), and RayBio Human HGF ELISA (RayBiotech, Inc.). Measurement was carried out according to the protocol specified by each kit.

The results are shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The rate of multinucleation is around 16.8% for myo A and around 29.6% for myo B (see FIG. 1). As regards the cytokine yielding capacity, Sheet B is much higher than Sheet A for HGF, VEGF, and SDF-1 (see FIG. 2). These species of cytokine are said to be concerned with the regeneration of cardiac muscle. The foregoing results suggest that Sheet B, which is composed of skeletal myoblasts myo B having a high rate of multinucleation, is more competent for transplantation to the heart than Sheet A.

As above-described, the use of the method according to the present invention has for the first time made it possible to evaluate the competence of grafts for transplantation. The result of evaluation helps improve the effect of treatment by transplantation.

Serum VEGF concentration was measured by the sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit for human VEGF (Quantikine human VEGF; R&D System, Minneapolis, MN, USA). The assay was performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The reaction mixture was quantified using the Bio-Plex protein array reader. The VEGF levels were automatically calculated by Bio-Plex Manager software using the appropriate standard curve. The detection limit of VEGF was 31.2 pg/mL.

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.
