Cell viability was measured by a CCK8 assay kit (APExBIO, Houston, TX, USA). IPEC-J2 cells were seeded at a density of 2 × 105 cells/well in a 96-well plate. First, the cells were incubated with different concentrations of Tan IIA (0, 15, 30, 45, 60 and 75 μg/mL) to select the optimal concentration of Tan IIA. Then, the cells were incubated with 1 μM DON and/or optimal Tan IIA to explore the protective effect of Tan IIA on DON-induced IPEC-J2 cell damage. Finally, the cell viability value was analysed by a microplate reader (TECAN, Männedorf, Switzerland).
Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release was measured by an LDH cytotoxicity kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China). After incubation with 1 μM DON and/or 45 μg/mL Tan IIA, the supernatants were collected and treated with LDH reagents. Finally, LDH release was analysed by a microplate reader (TECAN, Switzerland).

PMNs (5 ×105 cells per well) were incubated with various concentrations (0.5 μg/mL, 1 μg/mL, 2 μg/mL, and 4 μg/mL) of AgNPs in complete RPMI 1640 medium (HyClone, USA) for 4 h. Then, the co-culture medium of each well was replaced with 0.1 mL of serum-free RPMI 1640 medium containing 10 μL of CCK-8 solution (Dojindo Kagaku Co, Kumamoto, Japan), followed by incubation for 1 h. Next, the absorbance of the incubated solution system was determined at 450 nm using a microplate reader (Thermo Scientific, USA). Furthermore, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assays were used to determine the cellular activity of PMNs using the LDH cytotoxicity kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. In addition, after coculture with AgNPs for 4 h, PMNs were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton-X for 5 min, and then stained with TRITC-phalloidin and Dapi (Servicebio, Wuhan, China) for 30 and 10 min, respectively. Fluorescent images were obtained using a fluorescence microscope (Leica, Hamburg, Germany).

Following treatment as described above, the cells were collected and centrifuged at 3,000 × g for 10 min at 4°C, and the supernatant was stored at −80°C. The LDH release levels, MDA levels and SOD and GSH-Px activity were detected using a LDH cytotoxicity kit (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology), and MDA assay kit (Nanjing Jiancheng Institute of Bioengineering Institute), an SOD assay kit (Beijing Solarbio Science & Technology Co., Ltd.) and a GSH-Px assay kit (Beijing Solarbio Science & Technology Co., Ltd.), respectively. All assays were performed strictly according to the manufacturer's protocol.

This assay was performed using an LDH cytotoxicity kit (C0016, Beyotime). GSCs (target cells, 5 × 104 cells/ml) were cocultured for 2 h with NK-92MI or primary NK cells (effector cells) at T:E ratios of 1:2, 1:5 and 1:10 in 96-well plates. NKG2D blocking antibody (BE0351, BioXcell) or isotype IgG control was added at a concentration of 10 μg/ml for specific experiments. After incubation, supernatants from each well were collected for further analysis and calculation according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

The cell treatment was as described for the MTT assay (above). Cell culture medium was used as a blank control. Untreated MCF-7 cells were used as a spontaneous release control. Normal MCF-7 cells treated with Triton X-100 (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, USA) were used as a maximum release control. In accordance with the instructions of the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) cytotoxicity kit (Beyotime Biotechnology, Shanghai, China), 120 μL of supernatant from each well was collected and transferred to a new 96-well plate. Then 60 μL of LDH working reaction mixture was added to each well and incubated in the dark at room temperature for 30 min. The absorbance of each well was measured at a wavelength of 490 nm. Each sample had 3 replicate wells. For each test sample the cytotoxicity (%) = (experimental value -spontaneous release)/(maximum release -spontaneous release) × 100%.

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.
