Cytokines were detected in the supernatants of ARPE-19 cells, seeded at 50,000 cells/well in 24-well plates. ARPE-19 cells were pretreated with 5 ng/ml of different kinds of cytokines (TNF-α (Cat# 300-01A, PeproTech, NJ, USA), IL-6 (Cat# 200-06, PeproTech, NJ, USA), IL-1β (Cat# 200-01B, PeproTech, NJ, USA), TNF-α+IL-6, TNF-α+IL-1β, IL-6+IL-1β, and TNF-α+IL-6+IL-1β) for 10 mins, then stimulated with diacerein (10 and 100 μM/ml), and incubated for 2 hours. Cell-free supernatants were collected at 2 hours after culture and stored at -80°C until further use. Levels of IL-6, IL-8, and MCP-1 were determined using a human IL-6 (Cat# 88-7066-22, Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, USA), IL-8 (Cat# 88-8086-22, Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, USA), and MCP-1 (Cat# 88-7399-22, Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, USA) ELISA Ready-Set-Go kit following the manufacturer's instructions.

To study the association of ART with the Wnt/βcatenin signaling pathway, 10 mM lithium chloride (LiCl) (Shanghai Macklin Biochemical Co. Ltd, China), an activator of the Wnt signaling pathway, was introduced.

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.
