Quantification of Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Formation

Formation of NETs was quantified as in previous study [16 (link)]. Briefly, in in vitro experiments, NETs were identified with Sytox Green staining. Sytox Green (Invitrogen, 1:30000 diluted in Hanks’ Balanced Salt Solution, HBSS) was applied to neutrophils cultured on coverslips for 15min and washed with HBSS. In in vivo analysis of NETs formation, brain slices were collected and stained with rabbit anti-CitH3 (1:500, Abcam). Images were collected with a microscopy (Nikon). The recorded images were loaded onto Image J (NIH) for further analysis, at which time NETs were manually quantified by 2 blinded observers. Decondensed nuclei (stained with DAPI), which also positively stained with Sytox Green or CitH3 and displayed cloud-like morphology, were considered NETs and digitally recorded to prevent multiple counts. The percentages of NETs were calculated as the average of at least 4 fields, normalized to the total numbers of cells.

Frozen sections of mouse joints were thawed rapidly and then fixed in 2% paraformaldehyde/PBS (pH=7.4) for 12 min at room temperature. Sections were washed twice for 2 min in PBS. Sections were washed with PBS three times for 5 min each, followed by blocking with 10% normal goat serum overnight at 4 °C. Sections were probed with rabbit anti-MPO (Dako Denmark A0398) at a dilution of 1:500, rat anti-Ly6C/Ly6G antibody (BD Pharmingen 550327) at a dilution of 1:50 overnight at room temperature, rabbit anti-cit-H3 (Abcam Inc., ab5103) at a dilution of 1:500, monoclonal anti-DEK (BD Pharmigen 610948) 1:50, or with custom-made rabbit anti-DEK antibody6 (link) diluted in 10% normal goat serum at a dilutions of 1:50, 1:100 or 1:200 overnight at 4 °C. After washing in PBS for 5 min × 3, sections were incubated with secondary antibody; goat anti-rat IgG-AlexaFluor 594 (Invitrogen A-11007), at 1:200 for Ly6C/Ly6G or goat anti-rabbit IgG-AlexaFluor 594 (Invitrogen A-11037) at 1:200 for DEK and anti-cit-H3. Antibodies were diluted in 10% normal goat serum; sections were incubated for 45 min at room temperature.

Neutrophil Protein Isolation and Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total protein was isolated by NucleoSpin TriPrep kit (Macherey-Nagel) from 5 × 106 neutrophils. All protein concentrations were determined with the MN Protein Quantification Assay (Macherey-Nagel). Western blotting was performed utilizing AnykD Mini-PROTEAN TGX Gels (Biorad) and nylon/nitrocellulose membranes (Biorad). Primary and secondary antibodies utilized were rabbit anti-MPO (Cell Signalling Technologies), rabbit anti-PAD4 (Abcam), rabbit anti-citH3 (Abcam), mouse anti-β-Actin (Sigma), anti-rabbit HRP (Santa Cruz), and anti-mouse HRP (Santa Cruz). HRP activity was detected by using SuperSignal West Pico Chemiluminescent Substrate (Thermo Scientific). Equal loading was verified using beta-actin. Western blots of citrullinated H3 (citH3) protein were prepared as described previously (34 (link)). Gel documentation, densitometric analysis, and protein quantification of the western blots was performed using the ChemiDoc XRS+ imaging system (Biorad) with the ImageLab 4.1 image analysis software (Biorad).

Thrombi were embedded in paraffin and 3 μm sections were deparaffinized and rehydrated as previously described34 (link). Sections were stained with H&E or prepared for immunohistochemistry. A 0.3% H2O2 was used for inhibition of endogenous peroxidase. Primary antibodies included rat anti-mouse Ly6b (neutrophils, AbD Serotec, Oxford, UK), rabbit anti-CitH3 (netting neutrophils, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), rabbit anti-mouse RIPK3 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-mouse MLKL (kindly provided by Andreas Linkermann, Dresden), and rat anti-mouse F4/80 (Serotec, Oxford, UK)35 (link). TUNEL staining kit (Roche, Mannheim, Germany) was used to detect dying cells inside the thrombus following the manufacturer’s description. Positive cells were quantified using the ImageJ software.

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.
