Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Male 6-wk-old C57BL/6 wild-type mice were purchased from Samtako Bio Korea (O-San, South Korea) and used in this study. The mice were housed under a standard condition (24 ± 3°C, 50 ± 5% humidity) and were fed sterile normal diet (ND) and water ad libitum. Experimental and animal management procedures were officially approved by the Animal Care and Ethics Committees of Chonbuk National University. GBCK25 was obtained from GENERAL BIO Co. Ltd. (Wanju-gun, Korea). After an adaptation period, mice were separated into seven groups: (1) mice receiving ND (n = 10); (2) mice receiving Western diet (WD; high in fat (40 kcal%), fructose (20 kcal%), and 2% cholesterol, n = 10, CK 0); (3) mice receiving WD with GBCK25 at 10  mg/kg/d (n = 9, CK 10), 20  mg/kg/d (n = 10, CK 20), 100  mg/kg/d (n = 9, CK 100), 200  mg/kg/d (n = 12, CK 200), or 400  mg/kg/d (n = 10, CK 400). GBCK25 was dissolved in distilled water through sonication, and was orally administered once daily for 12 wks in each WD diet-fed group.

C57BL/6 wild-type mice were purchased from Samtako Bio Korea (Gyeonggi-do, South Korea), and 6–8-week-old females were used in the experiments. All animal experiments conducted in this study were approved by the Institutional Research and Ethics Committee at Chungnam National University School of Medicine (202009A-CNU-155; Daejeon, South Korea). All animal-related procedures were conducted in accordance with the guidelines of the Korean Food and Drug Administration.

Isolation and Culture of Mouse Macrophages

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Wild-type C57BL/6 mice were purchased from Samtako Bio Korea (Gyeonggi-do, Korea). Primary bone marrow–derived macrophages (BMDMs) were isolated from C57BL/6 mice and cultured in DMEM for 3–5 d in the presence of M-CSF (416-ML, R&D Systems; NE Minneapolis, MN, USA), as described previously (47 (link)). HEK293T (ATCC-11268, American Type Culture Collection; Manassas, VA, USA) cells were maintained in DMEM or RPMI1640 (Gibco, NY, USA) containing 10% FBS (Gibco, NY, USA), sodium pyruvate, nonessential amino acids, penicillin G (100 IU/ml), and streptomycin (100 μg/ml). All animal-related procedures were reviewed and approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of the Hanyang University (protocol 2020-0060).

Isolation and Culture of Mouse Bone Marrow-Derived Macrophages

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Wild-type C57BL/6 mice were purchased from Samtako Bio Korea (Gyeonggi-do, Korea). Primary bone marrow–derived macrophages (BMDMs) were isolated from six-week-old C57BL/6 mice and cultured in DMEM for 3–5 days in the presence of M-CSF (R&D Systems, 416-ML), as described previously [32 (link)]. HEK293T (ATCC-11268; American Type Culture Collection) or THP-1 (ATCC-TIB-202) cells were maintained in DMEM or RPMI1640 (Gibco, NY, USA) containing 10% FBS (Gibco, NY, USA), sodium pyruvate, nonessential amino acids, penicillin G (100 IU/mL), and streptomycin (100 μg/mL). Transient transfections were performed using calcium phosphate (Clontech, Mountain View, CA, USA) in 293T, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. THP-1 stable cell lines were generated by transfections were performed using Lipofectamine 3000 (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA) and then a standard selection protocol with 400–800 μg/mL of G418.

Bone Marrow-Derived Macrophage Isolation and Manipulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Wild‐type C57BL/6 mice were purchased from Samtako Bio Korea (Gyeonggi‐do, Korea). Primary bone marrow‐derived macrophages (BMDMs) were isolated from C57BL/6 mice and cultured in DMEM for 3–5 days in the presence of M‐CSF (R&D Systems, 416‐ML), as described previously (Koh et al, 2017). BMDMs of TLR2−/−, TLR4−/−, MyD88−/−, TRIF−/−, IRAK1−/−, TRAF6−/−, and TBK1−/− in C57BL/6 mice were a generous gift from Dr. Chul‐Ho Lee (Laboratory Animal Center, Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology, Daejeon, Korea). HEK293T (ATCC‐11268; American Type Culture Collection) and RAW264.7 (ATCC TIB‐71) in DMEM (Gibco) containing 10% FBS (Gibco), sodium pyruvate, nonessential amino acids, penicillin G (100 IU/ml), and streptomycin (100 μg/ml). Human monocytic THP‐1 (ATCC TIB‐202) cells were grown in RPMI 1640/glutamax supplemented with 10% FBS and treated with 20 nM PMA (Sigma‐Aldrich) for 24 h to induce their differentiation into macrophage‐like cells, followed by washing three times with PBS. Transient transfections were performed using calcium phosphate (Clontech) in 293T, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. RAW264.7 and THP‐1 stable cell lines were generated by transfections were performed using Lipofectamine 3000 (Invitrogen) and then a standard selection protocol with 400–800 μg/ml of G418.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Wild-type C57BL/6 mice were purchased from Samtako Bio (Osan, Gyeonggi-do, Korea) and maintained under specific pathogen-free conditions in the animal facilities at Chungnam National University School of Medicine. Mice were used in accordance with the guidelines of the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, Chungnam National University School of Medicine, Daejeon, Korea (approval nos. 202109A-CNU-180 and CNUH-021-A0011).

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.
