Cytokine, chemokine, and TNF receptor expression in spinal cord lysates from LysMCreTnffl/fl and Tnffl/fl mice (naïve and 3 days survival) and Cx3cr1CreERTnffl/fl and Tnffl/fl mice (naïve and 3 h survival) were measured using the mouse Proinflammatory V-Plex Plus Kit (IFNγ, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12p70, CXCL1, TNF), mouse TNFRI, TNFRII, RANTES (CCL5) (LysMCreTnffl/fl and Tnffl/fl mice only) and MCP-1 (CCL2) (LysMCreTnffl/fl and Tnffl/fl mice only) Ultra-Sensitive Kits (Mesoscale Discovery) on a SECTOR Imager 6000 Plate Reader (Mesoscale Discovery) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Samples were diluted two-fold prior to measurement according to manufacturer’s instructions. Samples were measured in duplicates and data was analyzed using MSD Discovery Workbench software.

Measuring Brain Cytokines and Receptors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
One series of brain tissue was lysed in Complete Mesoscale buffer according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Mesoscale Discovery, Rockville, MD, United States). Protein concentrations were determined according to the protocol from Micro BCA protein assay kit (Thermo Fischer Scientific). Cytokine and chemokine concentrations were estimated using an MSD Mouse Pro-Inflammatory V-Plex Plus Kit (Mesoscale Discovery) and TNF receptor concentrations using the Mouse TNF-RI and TNFR-II Ultra-Sensitive Kits (Mesoscale Discovery). XPro1595 levels were measured in ischemic brain tissue lysates using a human TNF V-Plex immunoassay (Mesoscale Discovery) as previously described (Karamita et al., 2017 (link)). The standard in the kit was replaced with XPro1595, which was diluted in the kit diluent number 2. Etanercept levels were measured using a human TNFRII Ultra-Sensitive immunoassay (Mesoscale Discovery) (Karamita et al., 2017 (link)). The standard in the kit was replaced with etanercept diluted in the kit diluent number 2. All kits were read on a SECTOR Imager 6000 plate reader (Mesoscale Discovery) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. All samples were run in duplex, and coefficient of variation (CV) values below 25% were accepted.

The trunk blood was collected in EDTA and centrifuged at 2000g for 15 min at 4 °C. The plasma was collected and stored at − 80 °C until measurements for LCN2 (Lipocalin-2/NGAL Quantikine ELISA Kit, R&D Systems), IL-1, IL-6 (Mouse Proinflammatory 7-Plex Ultra-Sensitive Kit, Meso Scale Discovery immunoassays), triglycerides ELISA (Charles River Lab), total cholesterol (Cholesterol Quantitation Kit, Sigma-Aldrich), and insulin and leptin (Mouse Metabolic Kit (Multi-spot Assay System, Meso Scale Discovery). Plates were processed in a SECTOR® Imager 6000 plate reader (Meso Scale Diagnostics, LLC). Data acquired using the Discovery Workbench software (v4.0; Meso Scale Diagnostics, LLC).

Multiplex Cytokine Analysis in CNS Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Multiplex analysis was performed in spinal cord tissues (thoracic segments), and in OPC and OL cultures. Spinal cord samples were obtained from the thoracic spinal cord of PBS-perfused mice homogenized in 300 μl RIPA buffer containing phosphatase inhibitor cocktail 1 (Sigma) and Complete protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche Diagnostics). OPC and OL samples were obtained by homogenizing cells obtained from 2 wells of a 6-well plate in 250 μl RIPA buffer with phosphatase and protease inhibitors. Cytokine expression was evaluated as previously described (Madsen et al., 2015 ) using the MSD Mouse Proinflammatory V-Plex Plus Kit, or individual plates for the assessment of CCL2, CCL5 and TNFR1 (Mesoscale). Samples were run on a SECTOR Imager 6000 Plate Reader (Mesoscale Discovery) and the data analyzed with the MSD Discovery Workbench software. Samples with CV values above 25% were excluded.

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.
