Rotenone and antimycin

Manufactured by Agilent Technologies

Rotenone and antimycin are laboratory reagents used in biochemical research. Rotenone is a pesticide that inhibits the electron transport chain in mitochondria, while antimycin is an antibiotic that also disrupts the electron transport chain. These compounds are commonly used as tools to study cellular respiration and energy production processes.

The rho-associated protein kinase inhibitor Y-27632 (Y) to promote the cell differentiation and epidermal growth factor (EGF) originally used to promote the cell proliferation5 (link),7 (link) were purchased from Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd. (Osaka, Japan), and a p38 MAP kinase inhibitor SB203580 (SB2) from Cayman Chemical (Ann Arbor, MI) was used to block the cell senescence. SB431543 (SB4), originally thought to block the negative effect of transforming growth factor-β on cultures,5 (link),7 (link) Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium–high glucose and fetal bovine serum were obtained from Gibco Industries Inc. (Langley, OK), and plastic culture plates were obtained from Corning (Corning, Inc., Corning, NY). Oligomycin, carbonyl cyanide 4-(trifluoromethoxy) phenyl-hydrazone (FCCP), rotenone and antimycin, UK5099, Bis-2-(5-phenylacetamido-1.3.4-thiadiazol-2-yl) ethyl sulfide (BPTES), and etomoxir were purchased from Agilent Technologies.

Metabolic Profiling of Bone Marrow-Derived Cells

Metabolic effect of stimulation of BMDCs was measured using two assays. For measurement of oxidative phosphorylation, the oxygen consumption rate (OCR) was analyzed by performing an overnight stimulation of BMDCs with either 12.5 μg/mL of PBC micelles, 1 μg/mL of LPS, or untreated control, was carried out in 5 mL polypropylene tubes. 2.5 × 105 stimulated BMDCs were seeded into Cell-Tak (Corning, Corning NY) coated Seahorse plates and a mitochondrial stress test (MST) was conducted according to manufacturer’s specifications using kit concentrations of 1 μM oligomycin, 2 μM FCCP, and 0.5 μM rotenone and antimycin (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA).
For measurement of acute metabolic responses and glycolysis (demonstrated by extracellular acidification rate, ECAR) upon stimulation, untreated BMDCs were seeded into Cell-Tak (Corning, Corning NY) coated seahorse plates at a density of 2.5 × 105 untreated BMDCs per well. Baseline metabolic activity readings were measured, and wells were stimulated with 12.5 μg/mL of micelle, 1 μg/mL of LPS, or medium control, and metabolic measurements are taken over the course of the assay. All metabolic phenotyping was conducted on a Seahorse XFe24 (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA).

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.
