Mice were sensitized by i.p. injection of 1 µg of mouse dinitrophenylated human serum albumin (DNP-HSA)–specific IgE (D8406; Sigma-Aldrich) in 100 µl PBS, and control mice were mock-injected i.p. with 100 µl of PBS. 16 h later, sensitized or non-sensitized control mice were injected i.p. with 250 ng of DNP-HSA (D8406; Sigma-Aldrich), and rectal temperature was measured every 10 min for a period of 60 min.

PCA was induced as follows82 (link): briefly, both ears of mice were intradermally injected with 10 ug/ml IgE (25ul, D8406, Sigma-Aldrich). The tail vein, 16 h later, was injected with 1 mg/ml DNP-HSA (100ul, D-5059, Biosearch Technologies). After 30 min, a full thickness biopsy of the right ear was fixed and embedded for toluidine blue staining. Evans blue was extracted from the remaining skin tissue of the right ear at 65 °C for 16 h, and its absorbance was measured at 610 nm. After 12 h, blood was collected, and the concentration of IL4, IL13, and IL10 in plasma/ear tissue was determined by ELISA according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Jianglai Biotechnology Co., Ltd., China). The concentration of LPS in plasma and histamine in plasma/ear tissue was determined by ELISA (USCN Life Science and Technology, China). The left ear tissue was frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80 °C for subsequent qPCR detection.

Degranulation was detected by measuring β-hexosaminidase release (Lee et al., 2016 (link)). Briefly, RBL-2H3 cells (1×105 cells/well in a 24-well plate) were sensitized with 0.2 g/mL monoclonal anti-dinitrophenyl mouse immunoglobulin E (DNP-IgE, D8406, Sigma-Aldrich) overnight at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator. Then, the cells were washed twice with piperazine-N,N′-bis-(2-ethanesulfonic acid) (PIPES) buffer (pH 7.2) containing 25 mM PIPES, 110 mM sodium chloride (NaCl), 5 mM potassium (KCl), 5.6 mM glucose, 0.4 mM magnesium chloride (MgCl2), 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA), and 1 mM calcium chloride (CaCl2) to remove the DNP-IgE. After incubation with different concentrations of PD1 at 37°C for 30 min, the cells were treated with 1 μg/mL human DNP-albumin (DNP-hAb, A6661, Sigma-Aldrich), and then incubated for an additional 30 min at 37°C to induce degranulation. Then, 25 μL of the supernatant was transferred to a 96-well microplate and incubated for 2 h with 25 μL 5 mM 4-nitrophenyl N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminide (N9376, Sigma-Aldrich) in 0.1 M citrate buffer (pH 4.5). The reaction was terminated by adding 200 μL stop buffer (0.05 M sodium carbonate [Na2CO3/0.05 M sodium bicarbonate [NaHCO3], pH 10), and the optical density at 405 nm was measured.

Mast Cell Degranulation Assay Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mast cell activation was assessed by β-hexosaminidase release in BMMCs84 (link),85 (link). In short, BMMCs were inoculated into 96 well plates with 8*103 cells per well and sensitized with 0.1ug/ml IgE (D8406, Sigma-Aldrich) prepared with serum-free medium. After sensitization for 24 h, the culture medium was discarded and LPS (L2630, Sigma-Aldrich) complete culture medium was added. After 6 h, the medium was discarded and 1 ug/ml DNP-HSA (D-5059, Biosearch Technologies) was added for 30 min.
The supernatant of each well was collected, and NP40 Lysis Buffer was added to each well to lyse the cells for 5 min. Lysate (50 ul) and supernatant (50 ul) were each incubated with substrate solution (50 μL) (3 mM 4-Nitrophenyl N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminide, N9376, Sigma-Aldrich) for 90 min at 37 °C, then 150 uL of Na2CO3/NaHCO3 (pH = 10.6) were added to terminate the reaction, and the absorbance value was read at 405 nm by Cytation 5 multifunctional enzyme marker (BioTek, USA), and the degranulation ratio of mast cells was obtained by supernatant/(supernatant + lysate) absorbance value.

Oxidative Stress and Proteasome Function

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HeLa cells at 70% confluency in 100 mm dish were treated with vehicle, TCH-165(10 μM), H2O2 (50 μM), or a combination of TCH-165 (10 μM) and H2O2 (50 μM) for 16h.Cells were washed with warm DPBS and collected by trypsinization. Pellets were washed 3x with chilled DPBS buffer and split into two parts. One part was used for proteasome native gel as previously reported (Njomen et al., 2018 (link)) and the second half lyzed by sonication in RIPA buffer supplemented with sigmafast protease inhibitor cocktail and used for oxyblot. Lysates were clarified by spinning at 14,000g for 20 minutes and supernatant collected into new tubes. Total protein was quantified by bicinchoninic acid (BCA) assay following standard protocol. Samples were normalized with lysis buffer to 2 mg/mL with lysis buffer. One-part cell lysate (20 μL) was mixed with one part 12% SDS (20 μL) and incubated at RT for 10 minutes. Two parts (40 μL) 20 mM DNPH (2, 4-Dinirtophenylhyd solution in 10% TFA was then added, mixed and incubated at RT for 20 minutes. Reaction was then quenched with 1.5 part (35 μL) 2 M Tris/30% glycerol. Samples were resolved on 4–20% Tris/glycine gel at 4 °C, blotted onto PVDF membrane and probed with mouse anti DNP (SigmaAldrich, D8406 1:500) and anti-mouse HRP (1:1000). Underivatized lysates were boiled with SDS buffer and immunoblotted as above.

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.
