Human monocytic cell lines THP-1 and U937 cells originated from acute monocytic leukemia and myelomonocytic lymphoma, respectively. THP-1 and U937 cells were cultured in Roswell Park Memorial Institute Medium 1640 (RPMI 1640, Welgene, Seoul, Korea) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Welgene), 2 mmol/L L-glutamine, 50 μg/ml penicillin, and 50 μg/ml streptomycin. THP-1 and U937 cells were grown in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2 atmosphere at 37°C. These cells were then starved for 12 h in starvation media (RPMI 1640 supplemented with 50 μg/ml penicillin and 50 μg/ml streptomycin). Various concentrations (0–100 μmol/L) of pinosylvin were used to obtain a dose-curve, while 0.1 μmol/L of pinosylvin was used for a time-course experiment. We also treated cells with different inhibitors when necessary. Those inhibitors included PD146176 (an ALOX15 inhibitor; 10 μmol/L; Enzo life sciences, New York city, NY, USA), PD98059 (an ERK inhibitor; 50 μmol/L, Enzo life sciences) and SP600125 (a JNK inhibitor; 50 μmol/L, Enzo life sciences). They were utilized for pretreatment for 1 h before treatment with pinosylvin.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
BEAS-2B cells (2 × 105 cells/mL) were treated with 0–30 μM fisetin at 37 °C for 1 h and then incubated with 10 ng/mL TNF-α or 10 ng/mL TNF-α/IL-4 at 37 °C for 24 h. The supernatants were collected to detect the levels of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), IL-8, IL-6, MCP-1, and c-c motif chemokine ligand CCL5, CCL11, and CCL24 using sandwich ELISA kits (R&D, Minneapolis, MN, USA). Specific protein levels were detected using a microplate reader (Thermo) at an OD of 450 nm as described previously [25 (link)]. Fisetin (10 μM) was combined with MAPK specific inhibitors, including 10 μM SP600125 (JNK inhibitor), 10 μM SB203580 (p38 inhibitor), and 10 μM PD98059 (ERK inhibitor) (Enzo Life Sciences, Inc., Farmingdale, NY, USA), to detect the ICAM-1 protein level by ELISA.

The AP-1 inhibitor (NDGA), NADPH oxidase inhibitor (DPI), Thioredoxin inhibitor (PX-12), and the antioxidants N-acetyl L-cysteine (NAC) and propyl gallate were obtained from Sigma. The JNK inhibitor (SP600125) was obtained from Enzo. NAC was initially reconstituted in DR 5% culture medium at 30 mM, its pH was adjusted to 7.0 using 1M NaOH solution and was filter-sterilised before use. Other inhibitors were reconstituted in DMSO (Sigma) or ethanol (propyl gallate) and appropriate solvent-only controls were included in all experiments. For some experiments, cells were treated with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) (Sigma) diluted in culture medium at the indicated concentrations for 48 h. The effects of H2O2 on cell growth were quantified by measuring cell biomass using the CellTiter 96 AQueous One cell proliferation assay (Promega) and results were expressed as % cell growth of each condition in comparison to untreated controls, as detailed elsewhere.63 (link)

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.
