Mouse lung epithelial cells (MLE12) were obtained from ATCC (Manassas, VA, USA); 3 × 105 MLE12 cells were plated in 24-well plates and incubated overnight at 37°C. The cells were stimulated with rAc-PF and Aspergillus proteins for 3 h. Next, MLE12 cells were collected with 1 mL of QIAzol (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany), and RNA extraction was conducted in accordance with the manufacturer’s protocols for transcription of 2 μg of RNA. Real-time PCR was performed to determine the levels of macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC; CCL22), eotaxin (CCL11), thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), and IL-25 RNA. GAPDH was used as an internal reference. The primers and PCR conditions used have been described previously [25 (link), 26 (link)].

Mitochondrial Regulation in Lung Cell Response

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human small airway epithelial cells (SAECs) were
purchased from Lonza, Allendale, NJ (LOT: 000470903). Primary mouse AECIIs were
isolated from the lungs of unchallenged mice. Mouse lung epithelial cell line
(MLE12) was purchased from ATCC (CRL-2110). Cells were seeded into 96-well
plates (40.000/well), exposed to bleomycin (15 mU/ml) or PBS for 4 hours and
then treated with T3 (15 ng/ml) or vehicle control for 8 hours.
Immunofluorescence staining was performed using Mito-Tracker (Thermo Fisher
Scientific, Waltham, MA), a cationic dye that stains active mitochondria and
PPARGC1A (ab54481, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), according to manufacturer’s
instructions. Detection of apoptotic cells was performed with TUNEL-assay using
the in situ Cell Death Detection Kit, Fluorescein (Roche, Indianapolis, IA, USA,
Catalog No 11684795910). DAPI staining was used to determine the number of
nuclei and to assess gross cell morphology. The human lung adenocarcinoma cell
line A549 (ATCC® CCL-185™, ATCC, Manassas, VA),
negatively tested for mycoplasma, was cultured in DMEM supplemented with
10% fetal bovine serum. Cells were pre-incubated with either dronedarone
10 μM diluted in 0.04% DMSO or vehicle control (0.04%
DMSO) for 24 hours and then treated with T3 (15 ng/ml) or vehicle (normal saline
0.9%) for 24 hrs.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immediately after isolation, lungs were lysed in RIPA with 2X HALT protease and phosphatase inhibitors. As a positive control for TRPV4 expression, adult mouse lung epithelial cells (MLE12) (ATCC, Manassas, VA) were routinely cultured in HITES medium (as per formulation suggested by ATCC) with 1% PS, and similarly lysed. Protein was homogenized, quantified using a detergent compatible Lowry assay, and denatured at 95°C in LDS sample buffer containing DTT (CBS Scientific). Protein was loaded at 20 μg per lane into a 4–12% TEO-SDS gel (CBS Scientific) and separated at 150 V for 1.5 h. Protein was transferred to Amersham™ Protran™ 0.2 μm NC membrane (GE Healthcare Life Sciences) using a G2 Fast Blotter (ThermoFisher Scientific). Membranes were blocked with 5% milk in Tris-buffered saline with 0.1% Tween 20 and probed with anti-TRPV4 (Alomone) and with anti-ß-actin (Cell Signaling) as a loading control. Appropriate HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies were used and the membrane developed with Super Signal Femto ECL (ThermoFisher Scientific) and imaged with a ChemiDoc-IT2 (link) bioimaging system (UVP).

Culturing Murine Pulmonary Epithelial Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The mouse pulmonary epithelial cell lines MLE-12 and A549 were obtained from ATCC (VA, USA) and cultured in DMEM containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 100 IU/ml penicillin and 100 μg/ml streptomycin in a 5% CO2 atmosphere at 37°C. MLE-12 or A549 cells were seeded in 6-well plates or 24-well plates overnight and then treated with HDM extract or the cytokine IL-33 for the indicated durations. Primary alveolar epithelial cells from mice were purified using 0.1% collagenase, 0.25% trypsin, and DNase I and were selected with mouse IgG (36111ES60, Yeasen, China) as previously described (27 (link)). To exclude the potential effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) contamination, HDM extract was treated with the ToxinEraserTM endotoxin removal Kit (L00338, Genscript, China). The purified product was the major constituent of HDM.

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.
