Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human dermal lymphatic endothelial Cells (HDLECs) from juvenile foreskin (Promo Cell, #C12216) (https://www.promocell.com/product/human-dermal-lymphatic-endothelial-cells-hdlec/) were cultured and used according to the manufacturer's protocol. The cells were cross-linked with 1% formaldehyde, followed by sonication. The sheared chromatin was immunoprecipitated with dynabeads (Invitrogen, #10004D) conjugated with anti-FOXC2 antibody (Abcam, ab5060), anti-FOXC1 antibodies (Origene, TA302875 and Abcam, ab5079), or control IgG (Thermo Fisher Scientific, # 02–6202). DNA extraction and PCR were performed as previously described (Fatima et al., 2016 (link)) with primers listed in Table 4 targeting identified evolutionary conserved regions (ECRs) containing putative binding site sequences shown underlined listed below. Images were acquired with a ChemiDoc Touch Imaging System (Bio-Rad) and band intensities were analyzed with Image Lab software.

LPS-Induced Sepsis in Chimeric Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Eight weeks post-BMT, chimeras were injected i.p. with 5 mg/kg LPS (E.coli serotype O111:B4; Sigma–Aldrich MO, USA). Immediately after LPS injection, mice were placed on warming pads in order to prevent hypothermia and reduce mortality106 (link),107 (link). Mice were monitored daily for the next 7 days. All experimental procedures were performed under pathogen-free conditions. In cytokine neutralization experiments, 2 h post-LPS mice received either anti-IL-6 monoclonal neutralizing antibodies (2.5 mg/kg body weight, i.v.; Thermo Fisher, USA) or control IgG (Thermo Fisher, USA) in 200 μl of sterile saline via injection into the lateral tail vein.

Extracellular Vesicle-Mediated Paracrine Signaling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
miR-214wt and miR-214over MEFs or CAFs and HS5 or NIH3T3 control and miR-214sponge or B16-F10, MA-2 cells were grown to sub-confluence and treated for 48 h with serum-free medium to obtain the corresponding CM to use on recipient cells which were then kept with the CM for 24-48 h, before RNA/protein extractions or biological experiments. To obtain Extracellular Vescicle-depleted CM (EVs-depleted), CM was harvested and centrifuged for 30 min at 3,000 g to remove cell debris and apoptotic bodies. After that, the supernatant was centrifuged for 2 h at 100,000 g, 4 °C using the Beckman Coulter Optima L‐100 K Ultracentrifuge with the rotor type 45 Ti 45,000 rpm. The supernatant was then collected and centrifuged again for 2 h at the same conditions to remove remaining EVs. For anti-IL-6R and anti-IL-6 blocking antibody experiments, CAFs were treated with EV-depleted B16-F10-derived CM plus 50 μg/ml of anti-mouse IL-6R (rat MAb 15A7 clone) or 10 μg/ml of anti-mouse IL-6 (rat Mab clone MP5-20F3, BioXCell), respectively, or control IgG (Thermo Fisher Scientific) for 6 h, before RNA extraction.

ChIP-qPCR Analysis of γH2AX

Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) was performed as described previously (42 (link)) using a rabbit monoclonal anti-γH2AX antibody (ab81299) or a rabbit nonimmune antibody (control IgG) (catalogue number 02-6102; ThermoFisher). ChIP were analyzed by real-time QPCR using primers proximal to two sites for the restriction enzyme AsiSI located inside genes (chr20:42089225–42089433: Gene 1-FW: AAAAGTCGCTCCCGGTAAAT, Gene 1-RV: CCGATCAGACTTGGGCTTAG; chr17:61847852–61848028: Gene 2-FW: TGCAAGGCATTCGACAATAA, Gene 2-RV: ATGGAAGCCATAATGCAAGC) or primers distal to AsiSI sites (chr21:25081874–25082075: Control-FW: TGGCTGGAACTGCTTTCTTT, Control-RV: GGTGAGTGAATGAGCTGCAA). All samples were analyzed in triplicates and data normalized to the maximal recovery in each experiment, which was set equal to 1.

Cells were seeded on glass-bottomed plates (Matsunami Glass). After transfection with the plasmid DNA, the cells were washed with PBS and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde. Fixed cells were blocked with PBS containing 5% skim milk (Wako) for 1 h at RT. The cells were incubated with primary antibodies for the SARS-CoV-2 Spike (BLSN-005P, Beta Lifescience) or control IgG (Thermo Fisher) at 4 °C overnight. The following day, cells were washed and incubated with a secondary antibody labeled with Alexa Fluor 488 (Molecular Probes) for 1 h at RT. Nuclei were stained with 4′, 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI, Roche). The cells were observed under a confocal microscope (FV10i; Olympus).

ChIP were performed using the Magnify ChIP system according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Thermo-Fisher). Briefly, 2–3 million cells were cross-linked with 1% paraformaldehyde/PBS for 10 min and sheared using Covaris S220 ultrasonicator (10 cycles of 60 seconds, intensity 2) to obtain an average DNA fragment size of 300bp. The sheared DNA was diluted 10 times and incubated overnight at 4°C with dynabeads protein A/G and 5μg of anti-H3K27me3 (Cell Signaling, #9733) or 1 μg of control IgG (Thermo-Fisher) under constant rotation. The next day, the bound chromatin was washed and eluted by incubating the dynabeads-chromatin complexes with the reverse crosslinking buffer and proteinase K for 1 hour at 55°C and 2 hours at 65°C in a thermocycler. The DNA was purified using magnetic beads and eluted by 1-hour incubation at 55°C with 150 μL of elution buffer. DNA quality/concentration was measured with Qubit dsDNA HS assay kit (Thermo-Fisher).
For qPCR, we used the SYBR Green PCR master mix (Applied Biosystems) and a set of 3 to 5 validated primers for Tbx5, Mef2c and Gata4 32 (link). We also used Gapdh and Pax2 primers as negative and positive controls for H3K27me3 (Active Motif, #71016 and #71020). Results were expressed as a percentage of Input DNA.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Argonaute 2 (Ago2) RIP was used to determine the interaction between miR-124 and SPRY2 or MMP-2, using the EZ-Magna RIP™ RNA-Binding Protein Immunoprecipitation kit (cat. no. 17-701; EMD Millipore). Briefly, SRA01/04 cells (1×105 cells/well) were transfected with miR-124 mimics or NC mimics for 48 h at 37°C. Cells were subsequently lysed using RIP Lysis Buffer (EMD Millipore) for 5 min at 4°C. After centrifugation 10,000 × g at 4°C for 5 min, cell lysates were conjugated to magnetic beads (2 µg; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) via rotation, using Ago2 and control IgG (cat. no. ab109761; 1:50; Abcam). The magnetic beads were treated with 0.5 mg/ml Proteinase K (EMD Millipore) to digest the protein and then immunoprecipitated RNA was isolated. The immunoprecipitated RNA was analyzed via RT-qPCR analysis.

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.
