Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The rat glomerular mesangial cell line (HBZY-1) was purchased from the China Center for Type Culture Collection. Cells were cultured in DMEM (Gibco) supplemented with 10% FBS (Gibco) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin (Gibco). To investigate the effect of MSCs on HBZY-1 stimulated by high glucose (30 mmol/L glucose for 72 h) through paracrine effects, MSCs were then plated in the bottom compartment of the Transwell chamber at a density of 400 000 cells/well, with no direct contact with HBZY-1 cells.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The rat mesangial cell line HBZY-1 was purchased from the China Center for Type Culture Collection (Wuhan, China) and were cultured in low-glucose (5.5 mmol/L) DMEM (Hyclone, SH30021, USA) with 10% FBS (Bioind, 04–001-1A, USA), 100 μg/mL streptomycin and 100 U/mL penicillin (Gibco, 15140-122, USA). The cells were routinely cultured at 5% CO2 and 37°C with saturated humidity, digested and passaged after 85% cell confluence. At 24 hrs after cell passaging and attachment, the cells were divided into five groups and cultured for 48 hrs: 1) the normal-glucose group (NG) that received 5.5 mmol/L glucose (Sigma, A24940-01,USA); 2) the high-glucose group (HG) that received 30 mmol/L glucose with vehicle (DMSO); 3) the 0.01 μM MCC950 group (0.01) that received 30 mmol/L glucose with 0.01 μmol/L MCC950; 4) the 0.1 μM MCC950 group (0.1) that received 30 mmol/L glucose with 0.1 μmol/L MCC950 and 5) the 1 μM MCC950 group (1) that received 30 mmol/L glucose with 1 μmol/L MCC950. We tested cell viability at 0 and 48 hrs by light microscopy and trypan blue exclusion.

Rat kidney mesangial cells (HBZY-1) were supplied by China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC, Wuhan, China), and were cultured in a humidified incubator at 37℃ containing 5% carbon dioxide using DMEM (Thermofisher, USA) supplemented containing 100 U/mL penicillin/streptomycin mixture (BasalMedia, Shanghai, China) and 10% fetal bovine serum (Thermofisher, USA). When growth to 80–90% confluence, cells were washed once with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and digested by 0.25% trypsin (with 0.38 g/L EDTA, BasalMedia, Shanghai, China), spare. Every fraction from R. procumbens was dissolved in DMSO (MP Biomedicals, USA) to prepare a 200 mg/mL stock solution. It was diluted to the target concentration with DMEM when used (The concentration of DMSO in each group is less than 0.5%).

Mesangial Cell Regulation of Collagen IV

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Rat mesangial cells (HBZY-1) were obtained from China Center for Type Culture Collection and cultured in DMEM containing 5 mM glucose and 10% fetal bovine serum. Cells were treated with 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 mM HG for 24 h, and then 35 mM glucose plus 0.1, 0.5 and 0.9 nM C-peptide for 24 h, based on our previous study (Li et al. 2013b) . Cells were collected for detection of Col4a1-a5 mRNA expression. And after 48-h treatment, cells were collected for detection of COL4 protein content and culture medium for detection of COL4 secretion. Then, cells were divided into low glucose (LG) group (5 mM glucose), HG group (35 mM glucose) and CP group (35 mM glucose + 0.5 nM C-peptide). High l-glucose (L-HG) with the concentration of 35 mM l-glucose was used as a hypertonic control. After cells were pretreated with HG and subsequent HG plus C-peptide for 24 h, SMAD3 nuclear translocation and binding of SMAD3 to its sites in the Col4a1a2, Col4a3a4 and Col4a5 promoters were measured. The protein contents of TGFB1, TSP-1 and SMAD3 were evaluated after 48-h treatments. In addition, the localization of C-peptide was detected.

When the cells reached 90% confluence, they were assigned to three groups and eight subgroups: the normal-glucose (NG) group, in which the cells were incubated in 5.5 mmol/L D-glucose (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO); the hypertonic control (HT) group, in which the cells were incubated in 5.5 mmol/L D-glucose DMEM + 19.5 mmol/L D-mannitol (Sigma-Aldrich); and the HG group, in which the cells were stimulated with 25 mmol/L D-glucose. All cells in the three groups were stimulated for 24 h and then cultured in 5.5 mmol/L D-glucose DMEM. At 0, 24, 48, and 72 h, the cells and their supernatants were collected.

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.
