Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For stimulation of Jurkat cells, we set up independent replicates by diluting cells to ~3.5 × 105 cells/mL and treating with 20 ng/mL phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) for 48 h prior to cell harvest. Unstimulated JSL1 cells were cultured in parallel for each replicate at a seeding concentration of ~2.5 × 105 cells/mL. For inhibition studies, cells were pre-treated with inhibitors SP600125 (JNK, 50 μM, Calbiochem, 420,119), Gö6983 (PKC, 5 μM, Selleck, S2911), R0-31-8220 (PKC, 1 μM, Selleck, S7207), Sotrastaurin (PKC, 5 μM, Selleck, S2791), MK2206 (AKT, 5 μM, Selleck, S1078), or GDC-0068 (AKT, 1 μM, Selleck, S2808) for 1 h before stimulating as described above. Transcription inhibition was achieved by incubation of cells with actinomycin D for 0–12 h (5 μg/mL final concentration). Translation inhibition was achieved by incubation of cells with cycloheximide for 0–12 h (5 μg/mL final concentration). Expression of short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) and cDNA expression plasmids (see Cloning and CRISPR designs and Transfections below) was achieved by pre-treating cells with doxycycline for 24 h (1 mg/mL final concentration) prior to setting up unstimulated/stimulated cultures as described above. For PMA time course experiments, cells were diluted to ~3.5 × 105 cells/mL, treated with PMA and collected at 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 36, and 48 h post-PMA treatment.

Cell culture and experiments with UMR106 rat osteoblast-like cells (purchased from ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) were conducted as described before [39 (link)]. Briefly, cells were cultured in DMEM high-glucose medium containing 10% FBS and penicillin-streptomycin at 37°C and 5% CO2.
IDG-SW3 bone cells (purchased from Kerafast, Boston, MA, USA) were cultured as described earlier [40 (link)]. Briefly, non-differentiated cells were kept at 33°C in AlphaMEM medium (with L-glutamine and deoxyribonucleosides) containing 10% FBS, penicillin-streptomycin and interferon-gamma (INF-γ; 50 U/ml). For differentiation, cells were plated on collagen-coated dishes at 37°C in medium with 50 μg/ml ascorbic acid and 4 mM β-glycerophosphate but without INF-γ. All reagents were from ThermoFisher unless indicated.
IDG-SW3 osteocytes were used after 35 days of differentiation, and UMR106 cells were pretreated with 100 nM 1,25(OH)2D3 (Tocris, Wiesbaden-Nordenstadt, Germany) for 24h before the experiment. Cells were then incubated with activator phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (PMA; Sigma, Schnelldorf, Germany; 0.1 μM; 6 h) with or without 1 μM PKC inhibitors calphostin C (Tocris), Gö6976 (Tocris), sotrastaurin (Selleckchem, München, Germany), ruboxistaurin (Selleckchem), or NFκB inhibitor withaferin A (Tocris; 0.5 μM), or with vehicle only for another 24 h.

Quantifying TCAP Degradation Dynamics

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
293T (ATCC CRL-3216) cells and C2C12 (ATCC CRL-1772) were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (GenDEPOT). For immunoprecipitations, 2 × 106 cells were plated into 60 mm dishes 1 day before transfection, and iMFectin (GenDEPOT) was used to transfect DNA according to the manufacturer’s protocol. M2 agarose bead (Sigma) was used to pull down flag tagged proteins. TCAP degradation assays were performed by transfecting pCMV10-3XFlag-TCAP with or without Fbxl3 and Fbxl21 expression constructs into 2 × 105 293T cells in a 12-well plate. Thirty-six hours after transfection 100 μg/ml cycloheximide (CHX) was added and cells collected at the indicated times. The incubation time length was chosen to avoid significant cytotoxicity while still sufficient to distinguish effects. Half-life was determined by using nonlinear, one-phase decay analysis (GraphPad Prism). siRNA for hFbxl21 was purchased from Dharmacon and transfection was performed by using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen). CHIR99021, Ro3306, NU7441, Sotrastaurin, and IC261 were purchased from Selleckchem.

WT iNeutrophils, GATA1 KO and primary neutrophils were plated in IMDM (Gibco, 21056023) at a density of 5 x 104 cells per well in ultra-low base 384 well dishes (Aurora, ABD241001A) and stimulated using 50 nM PMA (Sigma-Aldrich, P1585), 25 μg/ml LPS O128:B12, (Sigma-Aldrich, L2887) or 5 μM A23187 (Sigma-Aldrich, C7522) for 3 hours at 37°C. For inhibition studies, cells were pre-treated with 20 μM sotrastaurin (Selleck Chemicals, S2791), 20 μM DPI (Sigma-Aldrich, D2926), 100 μM 4-ABAH (Sigma-Aldrich, A41909) or 20 μM disulfiram (Tocris, 3807) for 1 hour followed by 3 hours of stimulation using 50 nM PMA. After the 3 hour stimulation, a fix/perm/stain solution was added for a final concentration of 2% paraformaldehyde (Electron Microscopy Services, 15710), 0.1% Triton X100 (Sigma-Aldrich, X100-100ML) and 50 nM Sytox Green (Invitrogen, S7020). Nine fields per well were imaged using the Yokogawa CV8000 automated microscope at 20x magnification. Image features were extracted using CellProfiler followed by analysis using custom supervised machine learning software to classify NET versus non-NET nuclei based on nuclei features including size, shape, intensity, etc. Experiments were performed on at least three independent differentiations and three independent donors in at least technical triplicates.

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.
