CCK-8 was used for the proliferation ability of A549 cells after treated with the Exo [20 (link)], and then, the CCK-8 reagent was added to the cell medium and incubated at 37°C for 2 h. Then, the absorbance value of OD450 nm was detected at 0 h, 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h, and a microplate reader (Beyotime Biotechnology, China) was used. EdU experiment was used to visualize the DNA expression of A549 cells (Beyotime Biotechnology, China) and then observed under the fluorescence microscope.

Cell number assay was performed using CyQuant cell proliferation assay kit (ThermoFisher Scientific, MA, USA) for assessment of cell proliferation. Cells (4 × 103) with the corresponding treatments were incubated in a 96-well plate. After 48 h, freshly prepared 10 μL detection solution fluorescent-DNA-binding dye mixture (provided by kit) was added to each well. Afterwards, cells were incubated for another 5 min in dark. The optical density value was measured at 450 nm with a microplate reader (Beyotime, Shanghai, China).

NAC Modulation of Oxidative Stress in S. uberis Mammary Infection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The mMECs were cultured overnight in 6-well plates and treated with NAC 1 h prior to S. uberis challenge (MOI 5:1). Total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) activity were measured at 6, 12 and 24 h post challenge. The T-SOD activity was measured using a T-SOD assay kit in a microplate reader (Beyotime Biotechnology), whereas MDA activity was evaluated with an MDA ELISA kit (Abcam, Shanghai, China). The same kits were used to determine the activities of T-SOD and MDA in murine mammary glands. Herein, tissues were collected, washed with PBS and stored at −20 °C. Then, tissues were transferred into a mortar with liquid nitrogen, ground to a powder, homogenized with 0.5% Triton X-100 and centrifuged at 14,000× g for 5 min at 4 °C to collect supernatants.

The proliferative ability of cells was examined by a CCK-8 assay kit (Beyotime biotechnology, China) after being treated with the IL-1β and siRNA transfection. Cells inoculated in 96-well plates were cultured for 3 days, and at indicated time point, 15-μL CCK-8 reaction solution was added to the cell culture for 2-h incubation at 37 °C. Then, the medium was removed, and the cells were dissolved in 150 μL DMSO for 15 min. A microplate reader (Beyotime biotechnology, China) was adopted for determining the absorbance (OD450) in each well.

After anesthesia, the abdominal cavity was exposed, and 5 mL of blood was collected from the abdominal aorta immediately. Blood samples were placed in a test tube containing EDTA (Ethylene Diamine Tetraacetic Acid) anticoagulant to count the total number of white blood cells. The blood samples were stained with Turk (a cell stain, mainly composed of acetic acid and crystal violet) solution (1:10 dilution), and the total white blood cells (Includes neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes) were counted repeatedly in the hemocytometer (count/ml). We performed the WBC test (Blood was collected through the tail vein) 5 times during the experiment, 1 day before irradiation, 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 9 weeks, and 12 weeks. We have organized this part of the data in this paper and redrawn the WBC time-varying curve into the text to supplement the previous research results. According to morphological standards, 10 cells were counted under a light microscope for analysis.
A tissue lysis kit was used to extract proteins from the lung samples and all lung tissues were cleared of blood during the analysis. BCA (Bicinchoninic Acid) protein detection kit (P0012, Beyotime, China) was used to determine the protein concentration. Enzyme–linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit (PC188, Beyotime, China) was used to quantify CRP levels (Microplate reader, BIO-RAD).

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.
