Neutrophil Isolation and Stimulation Protocol

Neutrophils were isolated using the Human and Mouse Neutrophil Isolation and Purification Kit (TBD Sciences, Tianjin, China) for subsequent experiments. Briefly, neutrophils were isolated from human or mouse blood samples by stratification using the Neutrophil Isolation Reagent and centrifuged at 800 g for 30 min at room temperature. The lower band containing neutrophils was carefully aspirated and washed with PBS after removing erythrocytes with erythrocyte lysate. The remaining cells were resuspended with 1640 (Gibco, US) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Gibco). The isolated neutrophils were then inoculated in 6-well plates (2 × 106 cells per well). Neutrophils were stimulated in vitro with 50 nM PMA (MKBio, Shanghai, China) or ferritin (10–1000 nM, F4503, Sigma-Aldrich) for 4 hours.

PPE (1 mg/mL), Ara h 1 (1 mg/mL), Ara h 2 (0.5 mg/mL), Ara h 3 (0.5 mg/mL) and Ara h 6 (0.5 mg/mL) in PBS were filtered through a 0.2 µm filter and individually loaded (50 µL) onto a Superdex 200 Increase 10/300 GL column (Cytiva, Uppsala, Sweden) connected to an ÄKTA pure 25 M system (Cytiva). Each protein sample was eluted at RT with PBS at an elution rate of 0.4 mL/min. The eluted proteins were detected by absorbance at 215 and 280 nm. The column was calibrated for molecular weight (MW) determination by applying a standard mixture consisting of 0.3 mg/mL ferritin (440 kDa; F4503, Sigma-Aldrich), 1 mg/mL conalbumin (79 kDa; C0880, Sigma-Aldrich), 1 mg/mL carbonic anhydrase (29 kDa; C3934, Sigma-Aldrich), 1 mg/mL cytochrome C (14 kDa; C2506, Sigma-Aldrich), 0.5 mg/mL vitamin B12 (1.3 kDa, V2876, Sigma-Aldrich). The presence and approximate quantification of Ara h 1, Ara h 2, Ara h 3 and Ara h 6 present in PPE was determined by overlapping peaks between PPE and the individual allergen followed by calculating area under the curve (AUC).

Monitoring Ferrous Iron in Ferritin

Fe2+ levels of a solution of horse spleen ferritin (SIGMA-Aldrich, F4503) were monitored by absorption spectrophotometry of the Fe2+-ferrozine complex. All solutions were freshly prepared with the assay buffer (5M ammonium acetate, pH 7). Ferritin was prepared at 3 mg/mL, ferrozine (SIGMA-Aldrich, 160601) was prepared at 4 mM, and L-Ascorbic acid was prepared at 1M. Ferritin samples (100 μL) were transferred to a 96 well plate. To measure ferrous iron (Fe2+), 5 μL of assay buffer was added to each sample. To measure total iron (Fe2+ plus Fe3+), 5 μL of 1M of L-Ascorbic acid was added to each sample. L-Ascorbic acids acts as the reducing agent, allowing the measurement of total iron. Samples were mixed and incubated for 30 min at room temperature. Next, 100 μL of 4 mM ferrozine was added to each sample. Samples were mixed and incubated for 1-h protected from light. Absorbance was measured at 550 nm with a plate reader (EnVision Plate reader 21049). The RF and No RF ferritin samples were processed simultaneously. For RF groups, RF was applied at 12 μT with the 25-cm RF coil during the entire period of the experiment (1.5-h). For No RF groups, samples were maintained in the same room, but placed where RF was negligible. The calibration curve was obtained with Fe2+ standards from 0 to 50 μM, freshly prepared every time the assay was conducted.

BMDNs were isolated by density gradient centrifugation using Histopaque 1119 (11191, Sigma-Aldrich) and Histopaque 1077 (10771, Sigma-Aldrich). Total bone marrow cells were collected from tibias and femurs and the RBCs were lysed. Mature neutrophils were purified by centrifugation for 30 min at 845 × g without braking on a Histopaque 1119 and Histopaque 1077. The neutrophils were collected at the interface of the Histopaque 1119 and Histopaque 1077. Mice neutrophils (1 × 106 cells/mL) cultured in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% FBS and were stimulated with ferritin (100 nM, F4503, Sigma-Aldrich), LPS (100 ng/mL, L4391, Sigma-Aldrich) or PMA (20 nM, P1585, Sigma-Aldrich) for 3.5 h at 37 °C.

Mitochondrial Protein Complexes Analysis

Starting material was two 150 mm dishes with cells at 80–90% confluency for each condition. The cells were released with trypsin and the pellet washed with PBS. Crude mitochondria were enriched according to Wieckowski et al. (2009) (link). Briefly, cells were homogenized in isolation buffer (225 mM mannitol, 75 mM sucrose, 0.1 mM EGTA, and 30 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4) with 20 strokes in a Potter-Elvehjem homogenizer at 6000 rpm, 4°C. Unbroken cells and nuclei were collected by centrifugation at 600 × g for 5 min and mitochondria recovered from this supernatant by centrifugation at 7000 × g for 10 min. After one wash of this pellet, membranes were solubilized in 1.5 M aminocaproic acid, 50 mM Bis-Tris, pH 7.0, buffer with antiproteases and 4 g/g (detergent/protein) digitonin. Proteins were separated by blue native electrophoresis in 3–12% gradient gels (Diaz et al., 2009 ; Timon-Gomez et al., 2020 (link)) using 10 mg/ml ferritin (404 and 880 kDa, Sigma F4503) and BSA (66 and 132 kDa) as molecular weight standards.

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.
