Characterization of Astragaloside IV and Calycosin Binding to HMGB1

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Astragaloside IV and calycosin were purchased from Nanjing Plant Origin Biological., PR China, with a purity of 98%. HMGB1 was purchased from Sino Biological Inc (Beijing, China), with the purity of HMGB1 over 90% determined by SDS-PAGE. The absorption spectra were detected on Cary Series ultraviolet-visible (UV–vis) spectrophotometer (Agilent Technologies, USA). The excitation and emission spectra were scanned on Cary Eclipse Fluorescence Spectrophotometer. The CD spectrum was measured on JASCO 810 spectropolarimeter. Other experimental chemicals were purchased from Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd (Beijing, China).

Neutrophil Extracellular Vesicle Formation Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Neutrophils (5 × 106 cells) were stained cell tracker green (1.5-2.0 μg/mL, Invitrogen) and incubated in either μ-slide chamber (Ibidi) pre-coated with fibronectin (5 μg/mL, Merck Millipore) for evaluation of NDTR formation or in confocal plates for evaluation of NDMV formation. Neutrophils were stimulated with various stimulators: fMLP (1 μM, Sigma-Aldrich), LPS (1 μg/mL, Sigma-Aldrich), C5a (50 ng/mL, Sino Biologicals), S100B (100 ng/mL, Sino Biologicals), HMGB1 (100 ng/mL, Sino Biologicals), TNF-α (50 ng/mL, Sino Biologicals), IFN-γ (100 ng/mL, Sino Biologicals), TGF-β (20 ng/mL, Sino Biologicals), IL-4 (20 ng/mL, Sino Biologicals), PMA (100 μg/mL, Sigma-Aldrich), and N omega-Nitro-L-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride (L-NAME, 10 μM, Tocris bioscience). Then, EV formations were visualized by immunofluorescence microscopy (Olympus IX83, Olympus) at 37 °C, 5% CO2 for 1 hour.

Saquinavir Modulates Osteoclastogenesis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mouse bone marrow–derived cells were extracted from the femora and tibiae of 4- to 6-week-old female C57BL/6 mice in accordance with the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee Guide (Tenth People’s Hospital of Tongji University, Shanghai, People’s Republic of China). Briefly, bone marrow was flushed from the medullary cavities and seeded onto a 10-cm-diameter cell culture dish overnight. Unattached cells were collected and reseeded in medium containing α-minimum essential medium, 10% fetal bovine serum, and 1% penicillin-streptomycin at 1 × 104 cells/well on a 96-well plate (Osteo Assay Surface; Corning, Corning, N.Y.) for TRAP staining and 1 × 105 cells/well on a six-well plate to collect RNA samples. After 24 hours, the media were changed to basal medium containing 30 ng/ml macrophage colony-stimulating factor (Novoprotein Scientific, Shanghai, People’s Republic of China) 30 ng/ml for 3 days. Subsequently, cells were cultured in 30 ng/ml macrophage colony-stimulating factor, 100 ng/ml receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (Novoprotein Scientific), with/without supplementation of various concentrations of saquinavir (0.05, 0.25, 0.5, and 2.5 μg/ml) or 100 ng/ml HMGB1 (Sino Biological, Inc., Beijing, People’s Republic of China) for up to 8 days for TRAP staining and 7 days for quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis as indicated.

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.
