Serpine1

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States, Germany

SERPINE1 is a protein-coding gene that produces the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) protein. PAI-1 is a serine protease inhibitor that regulates the fibrinolytic system by inhibiting tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA).

Quantitative Real-Time PCR for Gene Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All RNA samples were treated with DNase to remove any contaminant genomic DNA. RNA was then reverse transcribed using Superscript first strand kit (Life technologies) and the cDNA was diluted and used as template for SYBR Green or TaqMan qPCR on the ABI 7900 (Life technologies). RNA from human brain, heart, kidney, liver, lung and muscle was purchased from life technologies. Human neurons and astrocytes RNA have been purchased from ScienceCell research laboratories, cat# 1525 and cat# 1585 respectively. SERPINE1, TAC1, PGK1 and b-ACTIN TaqMan assays were purchased from Life Technologies. Primers used for SYBR Green qRT-PCR to validate and measure the expression of novel ncRNAs are listed in Additional File 7. Non-coding RNAs expression was measured using Power SYBR Green (Life Technologies). For all qRT-PCR reactions, we included three technical replicates. To compare the expression of genes across different cellular compartment, GraphPad prism software was used to perform ANOVA followed by Tukey post-hoc test. A p value of below 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. The Student’s t-test was used to compare the expression between the normal brain and LOAD.

Total RNA was isolated from the NK cells using the RNeasy Extraction Kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA). RNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA using the Advantage RT-for-PCR Kit (Clontech, Mountain View, CA). Resultant cDNA (100 ng) was quantitated using TaqMan primers and probes as follows: CD226 (Hs00170832_m1), KLRK1 (Hs00183683_m1), NCR3 (Hs01553309_g1), GZMB (Hs00188051_m1), PRF1 (Hs00169473_m1), EOMES (Hs00172872_m1), JUN (Hs01103582_s1), SERPINE1 (Hs00167155_m1), SMAD7 (Hs00998193_m1), and GAPDH (Hs02786624_g1) (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY). Each mRNA expression level was calculated as expression relative to GAPDH. Real-time PCR was performed on the 7300 Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems, Carlsbad, CA).

Tube Formation Assay on Matrigel

Matrigel was melted at 4℃ overnight and diluted with serum-free medium (1:4). After Matrigel polymerization, human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs, 5 × 104) were suspended in a medium and seeded on the Matrigel in the 24-well plate or the lower chamber of Transwell. Human recombinant Serpin E1 (PeproTech, USA) was added to the 24-well plate at a concentration of 2 ng/ml, or 1 × 105 cells, including AGS, MNK45, and primary gastric cancer cells overexpressing Serpin E1 and control vector, were added to the upper chamber of Transwell. After culturing for 24 h, tube formation of HUVECs was observed and photographed.

Cytokine-Mediated MMP-9 and IL-8 Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Following a starvation phase overnight, 2 × 106 THP-1 cells/well were stimulated with 5 ng/mL MIF, 5 ng/mL IL-13, 5 ng/mL IL-16, 5 ng/mL sICAM-1, 25 ng/mL Serpin E1, or 5 ng/mL IL-8 (Peprotech, Hamburg, Germany), either individually or in combination, for 24 h. The respective concentrations were derived from the respective product sheet by selecting a low effective concentration and then validated by dose response experiments. As a positive control, starved THP-1 cells were stimulated for 2 h with 25 ng/mL human TNF (Sigma Aldrich). Following stimulation, cells were harvested and the MMP-9 or IL-8 mRNA expression was measured.

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.
