Diclofenac Blocks PGE2 in dTHESCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A nonselective COX inhibitor, diclofenac (Cayman Chemical), was used to block PGE2 production in dTHESCs in vitro to generate CM supernatants for later THP-1 experimentation. Briefly, a 6-well dish containing 1 × 106 dTHESCs in 1 mL was treated for 1 h with 3 μg/mL diclofenac or solvent control (0.1% ethanol) to prime the stromal cells before DMEM/F12+/+ was changed and diclofenac was added again for 48 h with fresh media. CM supernatants were harvested, frozen, and assayed for the presence of PGE2 by ELISA. Following dTHESC CM supernatant generation, THP-1 cells were PMA treated and plated at 1 × 105 per well in a 96-well plate (200 μL) and rested for 1 h prior to pretreatment with diclofenac or solvent control-containing CM supernatant. After 1 h with CM supernatants, THP-1 cells were treated or not with 1 μg/mL LPS for 24 h. Supernatants were collected and stored at −20°C for ELISA analysis.

Male C57BL/6 mice (8 weeks old; 25-30 g) were obtained from National Laboratory Animal Center (Taipei, Taiwan). The animals were acclimatized to the new environment one week and then randomly assigned into the following groups (6 mice/ group): 1. control group (no injury, PBS-treated, oral gavage), 2. injury group (with drop-mass injury, PBS-treated, oral gavage), 3. injury+ Diclofenac group (with drop-mass injury, Diclofenac-treated, 10 mg/kg BW, oral gavage), and 4. injury+ betulin group (with drop-mass injury, betulin-treated, 10 mg/kg BW, oral gavage). Diclofenac and betulin powder were purchased from the Cayman Chemical (Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA). All animals were received humane care following the guidelines of the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of Changhua Christian Hospital (CCH-AE-110-012). The “resource equation” approach was used to calculate the number of animals 16 (link), 17 . Based on this approach, the acceptable range of the error degrees of freedom (DF) in an analysis of variance (ANOVA) is between 10 to 20. DF = Total number of animals - Total number of groups. In this study, DF is 20 that located in the acceptable range.

Culturing and Treating CRC Cell Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human CRC cell lines, including HCT116, RKO and HT29 (purchased from American Type Culture Collection) and derivatives, were cultured in McCoy’s 5A (Gibco; ThermoFisher) modified media supplemented with 10% defined FBS (Hyclone), 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin (Invitrogen). NCM356 non-transformed colonic epithelial cells (INCELL) and derivatives were cultured in M3 Media (INCELL). DR5 KO HCT116 and RKO cells were described previously [49 (link)].
Cell lines were authenticated by genotyping and analysis of protein expression by Western blotting, and routinely checked for Mycoplasma contamination by PCR. All cell lines were maintained at 37°C and an atmosphere of 5% CO2.
For drug treatment, cells were plated in 12-well plates at 20-30% density 24 hr prior to treatment. Chemical agents, including sulindac sulfide (Merck), indomethacin (Sigma), celecoxib (Sigma), acetaminophen (Sigma), metformin (Cayman Chemical), diclofenac (sodium salt; Cayman Chemical), sodium salicylate (Sigma), and salubrinal (Apex Bio), were prepared as DMSO stock solutions, except for Naproxen sodium (Apex Bio), which was dissolved in dH2O. Stock solution of each agent was diluted to appropriate concentrations in cell culture medium, and then added to cells.

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.
