Resveratrol Modulates Egr-1 Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The final concentrations of all the inhibitors were 10 μM except SP 600125 (BIOMOL International, PA), of which the concentration was 20 μM. SB 203580 (Promega, WI) inhibits p38MAPK/SAP2, whereas SP 600125 is a potent JNK inhibitor. U-0126 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc, TX) is a potent inhibitor of ERK1/2 activity and LY 294002 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc, TX) blocks PI3K/AKT pathways. Cells were treated with or without 100 μM of resveratrol for another 6 h after 1 h preincubation, and the expression of Egr-1 protein and β-actin (loading control) was examined by western blotting.

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.
