Cells were seeded so that they would reach at ~90% confluency on the following day. After one wash with PBS, cells were treated with the medium supplemented with the vehicle solvent, sodium propionate (Sigma-Aldrich, P5436), sodium valproate (Sigma-Aldrich, P4543), SAHA (Sigma-Aldrich, SML0061), β-hydroxybutyrate (Sigma-Aldrich, H6501), TSA (Sigma-Aldrich, T8552), sodium butyrate (Sigma-Aldrich, B5887), or HDAC3 inhibitor RGFP966 (Selleckchem, S7229) for 24 hours. Cells were washed with PBS and lysed in the RIPA buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, 89900) to prepare soluble protein extracts or in the Triton extraction buffer (PBS containing 0.5% Triton X-100, 2 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, 0.02% NaN3, and protease inhibitors) to prepare protein extracts. Extracts were prepared in buffer K and further analyzed by immunoblotting with various antibodies as described above.

Short-chain fatty acid treatment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
WT mice were treated for 2 weeks with sodium acetate (150mM) (S8750, Sigma), sodium propionate (150mM) (P5436, Sigma), or sodium butyrate (100mM) (303410, Sigma) dissolved in their autoclaved drinking water and filtered sterilized (Smith et al., 2013 (link)). WT control mice received sodium chloride (150mM). For GF mice, mice were treated for 2 weeks with sodium acetate (150mM), sodium propionate (150mM), or sodium chloride (150mM) as a control in the drinking water and filtered sterilized. Drinking water solutions were freshly prepared and changed every 5 days.

Culturing Mycobacterium Strains in Minimal Media

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The NTM strains used in this study are listed in Table 1. All clinical samples are from CF patients while lettered samples are mixed morphology cultures from the same date and same patient. Bacteria were cultured at 37° C in 7H9 broth with OADC (Remel, R450605). For minimal media experiments, a modified 7H9 broth was used based on the methods described by Muñoz-Elías and McKinney [58 (link)], specifically, NTM were grown in 7H9 + 0.5% albumin, 0.085% NaCl, 0.05% Tween-80, and carbon substrate (10 mM short chain fatty acid) for the indicated number of days. For the pH adjusted minimal media, the media with all the above listed components was pH adjusted and then filter sterilized prior to SCFA addition and use. IA (Sigma-Aldrich, I29204) was resuspended in sterile ddH2O, pH adjusted (for the pH = 7 IA), filter sterilized, and added to the 7H9 media to the desired concentration. For pH-neutral IA experiments, IA received NaOH to bring the pH to a neutral range before being brought to the desired final volume and filter sterilized for addition to the 7H9 media. 4-Octyl itaconate (MedChem Express, HY-112675) was resuspended in DMSO and added to THP-1 cells at the desired concentrations. The short chain fatty acids (SCFA) acetate, propionate, and butyrate (Sigma-Aldrich, S2889, P5436, & 303410, respectively) were resuspended in sterile ddH20 and filter sterilized prior to use.

SW480 Cell Line Culture and Lactic/Propionic Acid Treatment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
SW480 cell line was obtained from ATCC and cultured in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, United States), 100 mg/mL streptomycin (Sangon, Shanghai, China) and 100 U/mL penicillin G (Sangon, Shanghai, China) at 37°C in an incubator containing 5% CO2. SW480 was cultured in a petri dish. Next, the culture medium of SW480 cells that had grown adherently was discarded and washed with PBS three times, and then fresh culture medium and lactic acid (L1750, Sigma-Aldrich, United States) or propionic acid (P5436, Sigma-Aldrich, United States) were added to culture for 48 h for subsequent experiments. The experiment was repeated thrice.

Cell Viability Assay with LPS Stimulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To perform the cell toxicity assay, using counting kit-8 (CCK8; CA1210, Solarbio, Beijing, China), according to the manufacturer‘s direction, the cell was adjusted to 1 × 105 cells/mL and seeded in 96-well plates. Cell medium was added 15, 25, 35 mM SP (P5436, Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MS, USA) and 10 μM pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC; P8765, Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MS, USA), then incubated for 2 h. The cells were stimulated by 1, 5 and 10 μg/mL LPS (L4391, from the E. coli 0111:B4, Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MS, USA) for 6 h. After this, 10 μL CCK8 solution was added to each well and then the cells were incubated for another 3 h. The OD value was measured at 450 nm by a microplate reader (Multiscan FC, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA).

Propionic and Methylmalonic Acid Effects on Lipid Metabolism

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For propionic acid studies, Huh7 cells were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% (v/v) LPDS for 24 h and incubated in culture media containing 5 μM statin, the indicated doses of propionic acid sodium salt (Sigma #P5436) or vehicle control (ethanol) for an additional 24 h. For methylmalonic acid studies, Huh7 cells were cultured in Opti-MEM™ with RNAiMAX (ThermoFisher) for 24 h to enhance uptake of methymalonic acid. After this pretreatment, cells were incubated in DMEM containing 10% (v/v) LPDS containing the indicated doses of methylmalonic acid (Sigma #M54058), 5 μM statin or vehicle control (ethanol) for an additional 24 h. Following treatment, gene expression, LDLR activity, total sterol content, and/or 14C-acetate incorporation into cholesterol were assessed as described. In another set of experiments, cells were pretreated with 10 μM S1P inhibitor (PF-429242; Sigma #SML0667) for 2 h prior to addition of statin or propionate; gene expression was assessed as described below.

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.
