At the appropriate time points, the media was replaced with an equivalent volume of 50 mM EDTA (BioRad, Hercules, CA) and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C, 5% CO2. The digested alginate from each well was individually centrifuged for 2 minutes at 1,500 rpm, and the cells obtained were resuspended in 300 µL of 0.5 mg/mL MTT (ATCC) solution in DMEM. The MTT solution was also placed on the cell monolayer post alginate digest. These solutions were then incubated for 4 hours at 37°C before the addition of the detergent reagent (ATCC) for an overnight incubation. The final absorbance was read at 570 nm using a Tecan Infinite 200 PRO spectrophotometer (Durham, NC). The MTT absorbance reading for the digest was divided by the sum of the MTT readings for the digest and monolayer in order to find the percent migration for each well. Qualitative microscopic analyses were also performed on the 2.5D platform prior to alginate digestion. Gels were observed under the microscope to track the detachment of cells from the underlying monolayer on the TCPS and migrating into the alginate. These qualitative measurements were used as safeguards of the quantitative MTT-based measurements, as well as to prevent false positives or false negatives for migration.

Snap-frozen kidney tissue was homogenized in 0.25 M sucrose buffer (Millipore Sigma, Burlington, MA), 0.1 mM EDTA (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA), 10 mM HEPES (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) with protease and phosphatase inhibitor (Thermo Scientific) using a Dounce homogenizer. Supernatant was collected and centrifuged at 13,000 g for 15 mins and collected as the cytosolic fraction. The crude mitochondria pellet was washed twice and suspended in PBS containing protease and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (Thermo Scientific) and 0.1% Triton X-100, then disrupted twice with a sonicator at 40% of maximum setting for 10 seconds. Following lysate centrifugation, the supernatant was collected as the mitochondria fraction.

Quantifying Alveolar Bone Infiltration

Monocyte and lymphocyte infiltration was determined as the number of cells in the alveolar bone biopsies, which were histologically prepared from all groups. Mouse maxillas were harvested following sacrifice and were prepared and examined using immunohistochemical staining, as previously described (14 (link)). Briefly, the maxillas were decalcified in 10% ethylene diaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA; Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.) for 14 days, and were subsequently embedded in paraffin. Samples were cut into 5 µm sections and analyzed using immunohistochemical staining. Both sides of the maxillas were investigated and five slides were used for each sample at 10 intervals. Cell counts were conducted using images captured using a camera attached to a light microscope (Nikon Eclipse E600; Nikon Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) in a square of 45×70 µm.

Native Gel Electrophoresis of ODN Samples

Native gel electrophoresis experiments were performed on 20 % polyacrylamide gels containing TBE (8.9 mm Tris, 8.9 mm borate, 0.2 mm EDTA, from BIORAD) and 30 mm KCl, at room temperature, 120 V for 2 h. The ODN samples, annealed at 1.6 mm single strand concentration in 1.0 m K+ buffer, were diluted at 0.6 mm loading concentration just before the PAGE runs. Glycerol was added (10 % final) to facilitate sample loading in the wells. The bands were finally visualized by ethidium bromide staining in a Bio‐Rad Laboratories Gel DocTM XR+ image system.

Cell Migration Quantification in Alginate

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After three days, the medium was replaced with an equivalent volume of 50 mM EDTA (purchased from BioRad, Hercules, CA, USA) and incubated for 30 min at 37 °C and 5% CO2. The digested alginate from each well was individually centrifuged for 2 min at 1500 rpm, and the cells obtained were quantified using the commercially available, formazan-based WST assay as per the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, the cells were resuspended in WST solution diluted in medium (1:5 v/v). The WST–medium mix was also added to the well plates post-alginate digestion to quantify the cells that did not migrate into alginate. These WST solutions were then incubated for 4 h at 37 °C, followed by centrifugation to remove the cells. Absorbance was then measured at 570 nm using Tecan Infinite 200 PRO (Durham, NC, USA). The WST absorbance reading of the alginate digest was divided by the sum of WST readings of the digest and well plate to calculate the percent migration for each well. Qualitative microscopic analyses were also performed on the sandwich cultures prior to alginate digestion to track and observe the cells that migrated into alginate.

Ten microgram of venom protein samples was run on polyacrylamide gels co-polymerized with 0.12% gelatin (Sigma-Aldrich) as a substrate [65 (link)]. The gel was washed in a 2.5% Triton X100 solution for 1 h and later for 30 min in a 0.05 M Tris-HCl (pH 7.4) buffer and finally incubated for 2–3 h in a 0.2 M NaCl, 0.005 M CaCl2, Triton X-100 0.002% (v/v), 0.001 M cysteine and 0.05 M Tris-HCl (pH 8) buffer. To confirm the presence of metalloproteases, venom samples were incubated for 30 min with EDTA (Bio-Rad) at 10, 50, and 100 mM concentrations in a buffer solution without CaCl2.

Western blotting was performed as previously described (41 (link), 42 (link)). In brief, cells were collected and lysed in RIPA buffer (50 mM Tris [MilliporeSigma, T6066] pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl [Fisher Chemical, S271-500], 1 mM EDTA [Bio-Rad, 161-0729], Nonidet P-40 [Thermo Fisher Scientific, 85124], 0.1% SDS [MilliporeSigma, L3771-500G], and protease inhibitor cocktail [MilliporeSigma, P8340]), which disrupts membrane-associated proteins. Cell lysates were clarified by centrifugation for 10 minutes, 12,000g at 4°C, and boiled at 100°C for 10 minutes with SDS loading buffer containing 2-Mercaptoethanol. Treated samples were resolved on 10% SDS-PAGE gels, transferred to PVDF membranes (Bio-Rad, 162-0177), and probed with primary antibodies.

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.
