Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The proliferation of HaCaT cells was assessed using a MTS assay (Promega Corporation) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, the cells were seeded into 96-well plates, at a density of 5,000 cells/well and cultured for 24, 48 and 72 h in the presence of varying concentrations of shikonin (0.00, 0.01, 0.05, 0.25, 0.50, 1.00, 2.50 or 5.00 µM) (Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA) in a humidified incubator at 37°C with 5% CO2. In order to verify the effect of shikonin on IL-17 induced HaCaT cell proliferation, the HaCaT cells were seeded into 96-well plates, at a density of 5,000 cells/well and cultured in a humidified incubator at 37°C for 24, 48 and 72 h with IL-17 (PeproTech, Inc.), shikonin, IL-17 + shikonin, or no treatment. In order to verify the effect of shikonin on IL-17-induced HaCaT cell proliferation when CEBPD is silenced, the assay was performed with scrambled siRNA (NC), RNAi + IL-17, RNAi + shikonin, RNAi + IL-17 + shikonin, and untreated cells. The number of cells and the duration of treatment are consistent with the previous description. The absorbance was measured in each well at 490 nm using a microplate reader (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.). Each sample was analyzed in six replicates, and the assay was repeated three times.

The capture antibody was coated in NUNC MaxiSorp plates (Greiner Bio-One) overnight at 4°C in 0.05 mol Na2CO3 buffer (pH 9.7) (Merck, Boston, Mass). The plates were blocked with 1% BSA for 1 hour at 37°C. Supernatants and biotinylated antibodies were added and plates were incubated for 2 hours at room temperature.

To assess the cytokines production, 106 T-cell blasts of each clone were stimulated in duplicate cultures after stimulation for 36 hours with anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody or with PMA plus anti-CD3monoclonal antibody. Cell-free supernatants were collected and assayed for their cytokine content (IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-17, and tumor necrosis factor-α; Bio-Source International, Camarillo, CA) as previously described.[21 (link)] Supernatants showing IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-17, and TNF-α levels 5 SD over the mean levels in control supernatants derived from irradiated feeder cells alone were regarded as positive. T-cell clones able to produce IFN-γ but not IL-4, nor IL-17 were categorized as Th1; clones able to produce IL-4 but not IFN-γ, nor IL-17 as Th2; clones producing IL-17, but not IFN-γ nor IL-4 as Th17; clones producing both IFN-γ and IL-17, but not IL-4 as Th17/Th1; and clones producing both IFN-γ and IL-4, but not IL-17 as Th0, as previously described.[22 (link)]

In vitro samples and plasma samples were analysed in Leiden, The Netherlands and Copenhagen, Denmark, respectively, both on the Luminex platform (Luminex 100, Luminex Corp., Austin, TX, USA). The in vitro stimulation assay was slightly modified from a previous study [9] , with the following analytes (lower limit of detection (LLD) given in parenthesis): TNF-α (10 pg/ml), IFN-γ (5 pg/ml), IL-5 (3 pg/ml), IL-10, IL-13 (10 pg/ml) and IL-17 (10 pg/ml) (BioSource, Camarillo, CA, USA). In plasma, TNF-α (5 pg/ml), IL-10 (5 pg/ml), IL-6 (7 pg/ml), MCP-1 (10 pg/ml), IL-8 (2.8 pg/ml), IL-1Ra (30 pg/ml) were measured (Fluorokine MAP Multiplex Human Cytokine Panel A, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA). Concentrations of suPAR (0.1 ng/ml), a marker of inflammation [10] (link), were measured from plasma by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) (suPARnostic, ViroGates, Birkerød, Denmark). Measurements below the LLD were referred to as non-detectable (ND). Baseline and follow-up samples from each child were measured on the same assay plate.

To assess the cytokine production of IF-specific T cell clones upon antigen stimulation, 5 × 105 T cell blasts of each clone were co-cultured for 48 h in 0.5 ml of serum-free medium with 5 × 105 irradiated autologous PBMCs in the absence or presence of IF [13 (link)]. At the end of the culture period, duplicate samples of each supernatant were assayed for their IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-4, IL-21 and IL-17 (BioSource International, Camarillo, CA) production by ELISA. For further investigation, T cell blasts from each IF-specific T cell clone were stimulated with medium or IF (10 μg/ml) in the presence of autologous APCs for 48 h in ELISPOT microplates coated with anti- IFN-γ or anti-IL-17 antibody, respectively (eBioscience, Inc., San Diego, Ca, USA). At the end of culture period, the number of IFN-γ and IL-17 SFCs were counted as described [21 (link)].

Single cell suspensions from spleen and axillary lymph nodes were prepared as described above. The cell viability, generally around 90%, was analyzed using Trypan Blue (Sigma-Aldrich) exclusion and cells were seeded at 2 x 105 of live cells per well in 96-well plates in RPMI 1640 (Sigma-Aldrich) culture medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (BioClot GmbH, Aidenbach, Germany) and 1% Antibiotic-Antimycotic solution (Sigma-Aldrich). Then, we stimulated the cells for 48 hours with plate-bound anti-CD3 (5 μg/ml; clone 145-2C11) and soluble anti-CD28 (2 μg/ml; clone 37.51; both eBioscience) antibodies. The supernatants were collected and frozen at -20°C until analysis. Commercially available ELISA sets were used to measure the levels of IFN-γ and IL-17 (Invitrogen Corp.) in the supernatants. All tests were performed according to the manufacturers' recommendations.

Human prostate cancer cell lines (LNCaP, C4-2B, and PC-3) were authentic and free of mycoplasma as described previously59 and cultured in monolayer in a humidified 5% CO2 incubator at 37°C. The cell lines were transfected with human MMP7 plasmid (Addgene, Cambridge, MA, USA) using Lipofectamine® 2000 Transfection Reagent (Invitrogen, Grand Island, NY, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Positive cells were selected with 1 mg/ml Geneticin® (Invitrogen) for two weeks and the cells stably overexpressing MMP7 were named LNCaP-MMP7, C4-2B-MMP7, PC-3-MMP7, respectively. The cells were treated without or with 20 ng/ml recombinant human IL-17 (R&D Systems) for 0.5, 2, and 8 hours. In another experiment, the cells were first transfected with 5 nM control siRNA (catalog #4390843, Silencer® Select Negative Control) or 5 nM siRNA targeting MMP7 (catalog #4392420, Silencer® Select Pre-designed siRNA) (Fisher Scientific) using Lipofectamine® 2000 Transfection Reagent (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions; 24 hours later, the cells were treated without or with IL-17 for 2 and 8 hours.

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.
