Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
LPS-lesioned mice were distributed in three groups and administered i.p. with 10 mg/kg of VCE-003.2, alone or in combination with 5 mg/kg of the PPARγ antagonist T0070907 (Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA) [25 (link)] or vehicle [DMSO (3.3%) + Tween 20 (2%) + saline (94.7%)]. The experiment included a fourth group consisting of sham-operated mice also treated with DMSO-Tween 20-saline. The treatment was initiated approximately 16 h after the LPS lesion and was repeated daily for 21 days. One day after the last injection, mice were killed by rapid and careful decapitation and their brains were rapidly removed and frozen in 2-methylbutane cooled in dry ice and stored at − 80 °C for subsequent immunohistochemical analysis in the substantia nigra and qPCR analysis in the striatum.

Macrophage Polarization by PPARγ Modulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Bone marrow cells isolated from the femur and tibia of PPARγ-MKO or PPARγ-WT mice were matured in RPMI with 20% FBS, 1% Pen-Strep and 50 ng/mL recombinant mouse M-CSF for seven days, which results in a population that is >95% macrophages[12 (link)]. Following differentiation, bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) were treated with the PPARγ agonist pioglitazone (10 μM), the PPARγ antagonist T0070907 (T007: 10 μM, Cayman), a combination of pioglitazone and T007, or vehicle control (DMSO) for 48 hours. In experiments where tumor homogenate was used to stimulate BMDM, whole left lungs were collected from tumor-bearing or naïve mice and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen. Tissues were homogenized in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) using an overhead stirrer (Wheaton). A final concentration of 0.5 mg/mL protein each from tumor or control homogenate was added to BMDM for 48 hours. BMDM were then washed three times with HBSS and placed into fresh RPMI for 24 hours prior to collecting the culture media. TGF-β1 released into the media was measured by ELISA (R&D Systems). TGF-β1 levels were normalized to total BMDM RNA or protein concentration.

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.
