Inflammasome Activation Assay: Unlocking Immune Responses

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The inflammasome assay was performed as previously described with some modifications3 (link),4 (link), all experiments were repeated three times. Briefly, plasmids of pCMV-mPro-IL-1β (100 ng, Addgene no. 73953, a gift from C. Stehlik44 ), pCMV-mCaspase1-C-flag (10 ng, Addgene no. 21142, a gift from J. Yuan45 ), pCS2-Myc-NLRC4 (300 ng, a gift from F. Shao), pcDNA3.4-Flag-NAIP5 WT/mutant (300 ng) were cotransfected into HEK293T cells (gifted from X. Xiao) in a 12-well plate. After 24 h of transfection, LFn-FlaA and protective antigen proteins were added to the culture medium to a final concentration of 10 μg ml−1. The same concentrations of LFn-FlaAAA and protective antigen were added to the negative control well. After another 24 h, the transfected cells were gathered in a passive lysis buffer (250 μl per well; Promega no. E194A) and obtained supernatants were subjected to western blot analysis. The detection of cleaved IL-1β (p17) on an immunoblot confirmed the occurrence of active inflammasome complex formation. Antibodies used were: anti-IL-1 (Abcam no. 234437), anti-Flag (Sigma no. F1804), anti-Myc (Cell Signaling no. 2276), anti-Caspase-1 (Cell Signaling no. 24232), antimouse IgG (Cell Signaling no. 7076), antirabbit IgG (Cell Signaling no. 7074S) and anti-β-tubulin (Invitrogen no. MA5–16308-HRP).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Deltonin with a purity of over 98% was generated as previously described and its purity determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (>98%) according to Tong et al.1 (link)
Figure 1A shows the chemical structure of deltonin. LY294002, anisomycin and TTC reagents were obtained from Sigma, USA. Assays to detect IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, and iNOS were provided by Jiancheng Bio. Ins., China. Rabbit anti-Akt, anti-Phospho-Akt (p-Akt), anti-mTOR, anti-Phospho-mTOR (anti-p-mTOR), anti-P38, anti-Phospho-p38 (anti-p-P38), anti-LC3, anti-Beclin-1, anti-microtubule-associated protein (anti-MAP-2), anti-TLR4 and anti-IL-1 were obtained from Abcam, USA). Rabbit anti-GAPDH was purchased from Beijing Zhongshan Jinqiao Bio., China. Horseradish peroxidase linked goat anti-rabbit IgG was provided by Santa Cruz Biotechnology, US.

Sections were treated with hyaluronidase and goat serum (Beyotime) before immunohistochemical staining. Then the sections were incubated with primary antibody anti‐IL‐1 (1:200; Abcam) at 4°C for 12 h, respectively. After incubation with biotinylated secondary antibodies, sections were detected with a DAB detection kit (Beyotime).

Molecular Signaling in Ovarian Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The protein levels of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), AKT serine (AKT), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), LYN proto-oncogene, Src family tyrosine kinase (LYN), and caspase-3 were determined by western blotting. The total proteins of ovary tissues were extracted with a protein extraction kit (Beijing Baiolaibo Technology Co. LTD, Beijing, China) and a BCA protein assay kit (Boster Biological Technology Co. LTD, Wuhan, China) was used to determine the concentration of total protein. Furthermore, the proteins were separated by 12% SDS-PAGE, transferred onto a PVDF membrane, and blocked with 5% BSA. The membranes were then incubated with anti-TLR4 (1:2000, Abcam), anti-T-PI3K (1:5000, Abcam), anti-p-PI3K (1:5000, Abcam), anti-T-AKT (1:5000, Abcam), anti-p-Akt (1:5000, Abcam), anti-TNF-α (1:2000, Abcam), anti-IL-1 (1:2000, Abcam), anti-IL-6 (1:2000, Abcam), anti-caspase-3 (1:5000, Abcam), anti-cleaved caspase-3 (1:5000, Abcam), anti-LYN (1:5000, Abcam), and anti-GAPDH (1:5000, Abcam) antibodies, respectively, at room temperature overnight. Thereafter, IgG-HRP was added to the membranes and incubated at room temperature for 2 h. After washing five times, the protein bands were visualized with ECL.

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.
