Gingerol Protects HepG2 Cells from Palmitate-Induced Lipotoxicity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HepG2 cells were purchased from the China Center for Type Culture Collection (Wuhan, China) and cultured in Minimum Essential Medium (MEM) supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum (FBS), penicillin (100 U/mL) and streptomycin (100 mg/mL) at 37 °C in an atmosphere with 5% CO2. An amount of 10 mM PA/10% fatty acid free bovine serum albumin (BSA) stock solution was prepared according to the protocol as described in a previous study [59 (link)], with a slight modification. When the cell confluence reached about 60%, after 12 h serum starvation, the cells were pretreated with 20 μM or 40 μM 6-gingerol for 24 h. Subsequently, the cells were treated with 200 μM PA plus an indicated concentration 6-gingerol for another 24 h, followed by Nile red staining and the detection of intracellular ROS and TG levels. When using radicicol as an LKB1 destabilizer, the cells were treated with 40 μM 6-gingerol plus 5 μM radicicol in the presence or absence of 200 μM PA for 24 h, followed by indicated experiments.

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.
