Human lymphocyte separation medium, 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N'-2′-ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES), and K+ asparate were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). The TRIzol reagent, 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl phosphate/nitroblue tetrazolium (BCIP/NBT) solution and the reverse transcription kit (catalog no. K1622) were purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. (Waltham, MA, USA). The reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) kit (catalog no. 204054) was obtained from Qiagen (Hilden, Germany). In addition, the anti-NLRP3 (catalog no. 13158S; 1:1,000), anti-caspase-1 (catalog no. 3866S; 1:1,000), anti-IL-1β (catalog no. 31202S; 1:1,000) and anti-GAPDH (catalog no. 2118S; 1:1,000) rabbit monoclonal antibodies, as well as the anti-rabbit IgG, alkaline phosphatase-linked secondary antibody (catalog no. 7054S, 1:2,000), were from Cell Signaling Technology, Inc. (Beverly, MA, USA). The IL-1β ELISA kit (catalog no. BMS224/2) was obtained from eBioscience (San Diego, CA, USA), while the FITC-labeled anti-CD3 antibody (catalog no. 340571) and recombinant human IL-2 (rIL-2) were from BD Biosciences (San Jose, CA, USA). The RPMI 1640 culture medium and fetal bovine serum were from GE Healthcare (Chicago, IL, USA). The other patch-clamp associated reagents were obtained from Amresco (Solon, OH, USA).

Endothelial and Macrophage Cell Culture Protocols

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), and human monocyte-like cell line (THP-1) were cultured in HUVEC specific medium (PROCELL, CHINA, Ham's F-12 K, 0.1 mg/mL Heparin, 0.03–0.05 mg/mL ECGs, 1% P/S) or RPMI-1640 (Gibco, USA) medium supplied with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco, USA). The THP-1 cells were stimulated with phorbol ester (PMA) (100 nM, sigma, USA) to differentiate macrophage-like sticky cells for later experiments. Peritoneal macrophages were isolated as previously described [14 ]. Human peripheral blood sample from healthy volunteers (HV) or patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) were obtained from the Ningbo First Hospital, which was allowed by the ethics committee of Ningbo First Hospital. Human peripheral blood-derived mononuclear cells, separated from human peripheral blood with human lymphocyte separation medium (Sigma), were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, and then were differentiated into macrophages in the presence of 50 ng/ml of recombinant human GM-CSF (Peprotech) for 4 days, as previously described [17 –19 (link)]. IFN-γ was purchased from BioLegend. ox-LDL and recombinant human TNF-α protein were purchased from Beyotime.

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.
