Tumstatin

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

Tumstatin is a laboratory equipment product manufactured by Merck Group. It is a type IV collagen-derived protein that functions as a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels. The core function of Tumstatin is to enable researchers to study the mechanisms and applications of this anti-angiogenic property in various scientific and medical research contexts.

Primary Rat Cardiomyocytes Treatment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) were obtained from 1- to 2-day-old Sprague-Dawley rats [18 ]. Removed and digested the heart in PBS containing collagenase type II (Worthington, NJ, USA) and pancreatin (Sigma, MO, USA). Deserted the atria and great vessels. Minced and digested the ventricles with collagenase type II and pancreatin. Collected and cultured Cells from digestion in DMEM (GIBCO, Invitrogen Inc.) for 2–4 h to decrease fibroblasts and increase cardiomyocytes. Cultured the cardiomyocytes at 37 °C with 5% CO2. The cells were received treatment when the cells were grown to 80–90% confluence. Firstly, divided and treated the primary cardiomyocytes with PBS, Ang II (10−6 M; Sigma), tumstatin (69–88) (10−6 M) and Ang II + tumstatin (69–88), respectively. Secondly, the primary cardiomyocytes were divided and treated with PBS, Ang II, Ang II + tumstatin (69–88), diethyldithiocarbamate (DETC; 10−6 M; Sigma) and DETC + Ang II + tumstatin (69–88), respectively. Thirdly, divided and treated the primary cardiomyocytes with PBS, Ang II, Tiron (antioxidant; 10−5 M; Sigma) and Ang II + Tiron. All the reagents added into the medium ate the same time for 24 h.

Tumstatin and TNF-α were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). The stock solution of Tumstatin was prepared in dimethyl sulfoxide and stores at -15˚C before use in the experiment. Fetal bovine serum (FBS) and Dulbecco's modified Eagle's minimum essential medium (D-MEM) were obtained from Gibco-BRL (Gaithersburg, MD, USA).
Cell culture. Saos-2 osteosarcoma cell line and human embryonic kidney HEK293 cells were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC; Rockville, MD, USA). The cells were cultured in D-MEM containing 10% FBS, 2 mM glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin and 100 µg/ml streptomycin.

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.
