Cytokine Profiling of Colon Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Colon tissue was homogenized in 1 mL PBS and centrifuged (13,000 rpm for 20 min at 4 °C). Supernatant was filtered (0.22 μm), and protein concentration was determined by Bradford assay. The presence of cytokines was analyzed in supernatant fractions with mouse antibody arrays Q1 (ABIN625794; RayBiotech) following the manufacturer’s instructions. ELISA kits were used to quantify IL-22, IL-13, IL-10, TGF-β, IL-23, IL-21, IL-6, and TNF-α (RayBiotech).

The reference substances of ginsenosides (nR1, Rg1, Re, pF11, Rf, Ra2, Rb1, Rc, Ro, Rb2, Rb3, Rd and 20(R)-Rg3) and monosaccharides (Glc, Ara, Gal, Man, GalA, Rha, Rib, ClcUA, Xyl and Fuc) were purchased from Shanghai Yuanye Biotechnology (Shanghai, China). The purity of these references was higher than 99.0% indicated by HPLC analysis. Cyclophosphamide (CP) was supplied by Sigma-Aldrich Company Ltd., (United States). Thrombopoietin (TPO), erythropoietin (EPO), and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) were purchased from Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Institute (Nanjing, China). Quantibody®Array Glass Chip of IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-13, IFNγ, TNF-α and MCP-1 were purchased from RayBiotech Life, Inc. (United States). FITC-Annexin-V and Cell Cycle kits were purchased from BD Biosciences Pharmingen (United States). The blood cell analysis reagent kit was purchased from IDEXX Laboratories Inc (United States). Protopanaxadiol saponins (PDS) and protopanaxatriol saponins (PTS) were supplied by Professor Chen Yanping in the College of Chemistry, Jilin University; PDS and PTS were LC-MS grade. The voucher specimen of PDS (S20190011) and PTS (S20190012) were deposited in the authors’ lab in Changchun University of Chinese Medicine (Changchun, China).

Plasma Biomarker Profiling Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Plasma samples were obtained by venipuncture after an overnight fasting. Glucose was analyzed by an automated analyzer (Hitachi Modular P800, Roche, Basel, Switzerland). Serum concentrations of triglycerides and free fatty acids (FFA) were determined by using commercially available kits (Infinity, Thermo Electron Corporation, Melbourne, Australia). The carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), fibrinogen and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations were measured as previously reported [11 (link)]. White blood cell (WBC) count was determined using an automated cell counter (Beckman Coulter, Inc., Fullerton, CA, USA). Circulating levels of MAGP-1, IL-4, IL-6, IL-13, VEGFA, OPN (RayBiotech, Inc., Norcross, GA, USA) and TGF-β (Mybiosource, San Diego, CA, USA) were assessed by commercially available ELISA kits according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation were <10 and <12% for all analysed molecules.

Multiplex Analysis of Rat Synovial Inflammation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Rats were euthanized via CO2 inhalation at three days or twenty-one days post-surgery for both the naïve group and the MMT surgery group. Synovial fluid was collected by first injecting 100 μl of saline intra-articularly using a 30 gauge insulin syringe, followed by aspirating approximately 50 to 100 μl of the synovial fluid and saline using the same syringe. Synovial fluid was analyzed using the Quantibody® Rat Inflammation Array 1, a multiplex ELISA kit that quantitatively measured 10 rat inflammatory factors: IFNγ, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-13, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), and TNFα (RayBiotech, Norcross, GA, USA).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The femur was isolated from euthanized Wistar male rats and marrow was flushed into a cold PBS solution containing 2% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Mechanically dissociated cells were incubated on ice with three volume of 0.8% NH4Cl solution to remove red blood cells. 106 cells/cm2 were seeded in tissue culture plates (Corning Constar) and cultured in Iscove's Modified Dulbecco's Medium (IMDM, Gibco) supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% v/v penicillin-streptomycin (Life Technologies) 10ng/ml M-CSF (RayBiotech). After 7 days, bone marrow-derived macrophages (MΦ) were polarized to inflammatory M1 with IMDM, 1% v/v penicillin-streptomycin, 10ng/ml M-CSF supplemented with 100ng/ml TNFα (ApexBio) and 100ng/ml IFNγ (RayBiotech). The non-inflammatory BMDM-M2 profile was induced by supplementing the culture medium with 20ng/ml IL-4, 20ng/ml IL-10 and 20ng/ml IL13 (RayBiotech).

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.
