Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Osteoblasts were treated with 0.01 mg/mL cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (CoCr) particles with an average size of 0.5 µm, 0.05 µg/mL TNF (abcam®, UK) or with a combination of CoCr and TNF. Untreated cells served as negative controls, and cells stimulated with 1 µg/mL lipopolysaccharides (LPS; Sigma-Aldrich, Munich, Germany) and CoCr + LPS served as positive controls (Data shown in Supplementary Material). Osteoblasts were exposed over 10 min, 15 min, 20 min, 25 min, 30 min, 45 min, 1 h, 4 h, 8 h, 16 h, 24 h, 48 h, or 72 h.

Under anesthetization with intramuscular injections of a mixture of ketamine-xylazine, 10 ng TNF (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) in 2 µL of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was administered intravitreally into the left eyes of the rats.19 (link) PBS was administered intravitreally into the contralateral right eye as a control. Netarsudil mesylate (Aerie Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Durham, NC, USA) was diluted in PBS and concurrent injection of 2, 20, or 200 pmol netarsudil and TNF was carried out intravitreally. The netarsudil alone administration group was also evaluated. A769662 (an AMPK activator, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) was diluted in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and simultaneous injection of 200 pmol A769662 and TNF was carried out intravitreally. The A769662 alone administration group was also evaluated. For this experiment, DMSO was used as a control. Dorsomorphin (an AMPK inhibitor; Abcam) was diluted in DMSO and pre-injected intravitreally 1 hour before second injection of 200 pmol netarsudil plus TNF. DMSO was also pre-injected intravitreally 1 hour before the second injection of DMSO, TNF, or 200 pmol netarsudil plus TNF.

HEK293T, HeLa, L929, HT-29, iBMDM, and MEF cells were grown in high-glucose-containing DMEM (Hyclone) supplemented with 10% FBS (Hyclone). TRIM25 KO HT-29 cells were generated using CRISPR/Cas9 technology. RIP3 KO HT-29 cells were kindly provided by Dr. Huayi Wang (ShanghaiTech University, Shanghai, China). All cells were grown at 37 °C under a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere (Thermo Fisher). L929 cells were stimulated with 10 ng/mL TNF (Abcam) and 5 μM Z-VAD-FMK (Abcam) to induce cell necrosis, while other cells were induced necrosis with 100 nM Smac mimetic (MCE) addition.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human and mouse sections from formaldehyde-fixed and paraffin-embedded lung tissues were deparaffinized and rehydrated. Epitope retrieval was performed by boiling the sections in citrate buffer, pH 6.0. Sections were reacted with hydrogen peroxide to block endogenous peroxidase, washed, and blocked with 5% goat serum. The sections were then incubated with the primary antibodies against GM-CSF (1:400; Abcam), TNF (1:400; Abcam), α-SM actin (1:1; Dako), CD31 (1:50; Dako), CD34 (1:1; Dako), CD68 (1:100; Dako), GM-CSFRα (1:50; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.), and Mac3 (1:200; BD) overnight at 4°C. After streptavidin-biotin amplification (LSAB2 kit [Dako] or Vectastain Elite ABC kit [Vector Laboratories]), the slides were incubated with 3, 3′-diaminobenzidine and counterstained with hematoxylin. A negative control was performed using mouse IgG or rabbit Ig instead of the primary antibody. The localization and intensity (0, 1+, 2+, 3+) of immunoreactivity were assessed by two independent examiners, blinded to the diagnosis of PAH or to the mouse treatment group. In the murine experiments described below, the number of Mac-3–positive cells per PA was counted for all vessels in the section and a mean value calculated per mouse.

Total protein was extracted in 1% lysis buffer (RIPA, Merck Millipore, Hellerup, Denmark) containing a soluble protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche Diagnostics, Hvidovre, Denmark) according to Lambertsen et al. [16 (link)]. Protein concentrations were estimated using the Bradford Protein Quantification method.

SeeBlue Plus2 pre-stained standard (Invitrogen) was used as a molecular weight marker and 0.5 ng 17 kDa murine recombinant TNF (Sigma Aldrich) was included as a positive control. Densitometry was performed using Image J analysis software (version 1.47, National Institutes of Health (NIH), Bethesda, Maryland, USA) following recommendations of the Image J developers. Analysis was performed on two independent gels with two mice per group.

Cells were lysed in Laemmli sample buffer containing β-mercaptoethanol (Sigma), protease inhibitors (Roche) and phosphatase inhibitors (Sigma). Samples were run on SDS-PAGE gels and transferred onto Hybond-P PVDF membranes (Amersham, Buckinghamshire, UK). Membranes were blocked in 5% non-fat milk then probed with OPTN (Sigma), actin (Sigma), EEA1 (Cell Signaling, Hitchin, UK), LAMP1 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), GM130 (BD, Oxford, UK), Golgin-245 (Santa Cruz, Heidelberg, Germany) or GAPDH (Santa Cruz) for MDM/THP-1 cells or OPTN (Abcam) and TNF (Abcam) for BMDMs overnight at 4°C and anti-rabbit IgG-HRP (Cell Signaling) or anti-mouse IgG-HRP (GE Healthcare, Buckinghamshire, UK) for 1 h at room temperature. Bound antibody was detected using ECL Plus (Amersham), exposed to Hyperfilm ECL (Amersham), quantified and normalised to actin using ImageJ (NIH).

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.
