Recombinant human HMGB1 purchased from Sigma‐Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA) and specific chemical inhibitors including BAY87‐2243, U0126, SB203580 and SP600125 were purchased from Selleck (Houston, TX, USA). Antibodies for phospho‐Erk (Thr202/Tyr204,p‐ERK), total Erk, phospho‐p38 MAP kinase (Thr180/Tyr182,p‐p38), total P38 MAP kinase, phospho‐JNK (Thr183/Tyr185, p‐JNK) and total JNK were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA, USA). Antibodies for HMGB1 and HIF‐1α were purchased from Abcam (Cambridge, MA, USA). Antibodies for VEGF were obtained from Proteintech (Radnor, PA, USA).

Murine MSC Culture and Stimulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary bone marrow-derived MSCs of C57/BL6 mice were purchased from Cyagen Biosciences Inc. (Guangzhou, China). MSCs were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium/F12 (DMEM/F12) medium with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum. The present study used MSCs from 6th to 10th passages. Recombinant human HMGB1 was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Shanghai, China) and recombinant murine IFN-γ and TNF-α from PeproTech (Southfield, MI, USA). HMGB1 A and B box were synthesized as previously described. HMGB1 and cytokines were dissolved in PBS.

HMGB1 Modulation in Ischemia Pretreatment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice received single intraperitoneal injections of recombinant human HMGB1 (10 μg per mouse; Sigma-Aldrich)14 (link) or anti-HMGB1 neutralizing polyclonal antibody (600 μg per mouse; Shino-Test Corporation)37 (link) at 1 h before ischemia induction, concurrent with the start of electroacupuncture pretreatment. Negative control mice were injected with saline instead of rhHMGB1 or with non-immune IgG (Sigma Aldrich) instead of anti-HMGB1 antibody.

Activation of VSMC NLRP3 Inflammasome

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary human VSMCs were isolated from walls of femoral artery tissues from healthy organ donors and the cells were identified by anti‐α‐SM actin staining, according to the protocols described previously.27 The cells were maintained in Dulbecco's modified Eagle’ medium (DMEM; Gibco, Karlsruhe, Germany) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Gibco), 100 units/mL penicillin and 100 μg/mL streptomycin at 37°C in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2. The cells at passages 3 to 9 were used for experiments.
To activate NLRP3 inflammasome, VSMCs were pretreated with, or without, different concentrations (100–1000 ng/mL) LPS for 16 hours and 5 mmol/L ATP (Sigma‐Aldrich, Missouri) for 1 hour. Furthermore, some cells were first treated with vehicle DMSO or 2 μmol/L Z‐YVAD‐FMK for 24 hours to inactivate caspase activity and then treated with LPS and/or ATP. Similarly, some cells were pretreated with vehicle PBS or 2 mmol/L glycyrrhizin (Sigma‐Aldrich, Missouri) for 24 hours to inhibit HMGB1 release and then stimulated with LPS and/or ATP. In addition, some cells were treated with different concentrations (0, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 ng/mL) recombinant human HMGB1 (Sigma‐Aldrich) for 24 hours to determine the effect of extracellular HMGB1 on cell function.

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.
