Modulation of Erk Signaling in SK-Hep1 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
SK‐Hep1 cells were treated with TQ and different inhibitors including SB203580 (p38 MAP kinase inhibitor) and U0126 (Erk inhibitor). Erk expression of SK‐Hep1 cells was silenced by using si‐Erk (sc‐29 307; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX) and negative control siRNA (4 390 843; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Shanghai, China). The siRNA was dissolved in RNase‐free solution and transfected into the cells using transfection reagent (sc‐29 528; Santa Cruz Biotechnology). After 36‐h culture, Erk expression was silenced in SK‐Hep1 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.
