Quantifying Phagocytosis of Apoptotic Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Uptake of apoptotic cells by peritoneal MΦres was assessed as previously described (34 (link)). Briefly, thymocytes were collected from naive animals by mincing thymi through 2 μm gauze until completely homogenized. Erythrocytes were removed by incubating with red blood cell lysis buffer (Sigma-Aldrich). Thymocytes were resuspended at 1x10^7 cells/mL in complete DMEM and incubated in the presence of 0.1 µM dexamethasone (Sigma-Aldrich) at 37°C for 18 h. This produced >90% apoptosis, as assessed by Viastain AO/PI staining measured on a Cellometer ® Auto 2000 Cell Counter (Nexcelom Bioscience). Subsequently, apoptotic thymocytes were washed twice with PBS and resuspended in PBS at 10^6 cells/mL containing 40 ng/mL pHrodo-SE (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and incubated at RT for 30 min. Thereafter the cells were washed twice with PBS and resuspended in RPMI containing 5% foetal bovine serum, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 U/mL penicillin and 100 μg/mL streptomycin. Unstained apoptotic cells served as staining control.

Cell Proliferation Assay for NHLFs and IPF Fibroblasts

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
NHLFs and IPF fibroblasts (5 × 104) seeded on 24-well plates were grown overnight in serum-containing medium. On the following day, cells were switched to SFM supplemented with 0.1% BSA and treated with PDGF-BB (20 ng/ml) and different concentrations of IFN-γ and PFD for 1 or 3 days. At the end of the experiments, the cells were detached from the plate using BD cell detachment solution (Thermo-Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). The cell number was counted by a Cellometer™ Auto 2000 cell counter (Nexcelom Bioscience, Lawrence, MA, USA). Cell viability was determined manually by counting cells after trypan blue staining using a Neubauer hematocytometer and an automated Cellometer.

Isolation and Culture of Primary Mouse Keratinocytes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary mouse keratinocytes isolated from newborn Balb/C pups were cultured in modified Eagle’s medium (S-MEM, Thermo Fisher Scientific), 8% Chelex-treated fetal calf serum (Gemini Bio Products), and 0.05 mmol/L calcium unless otherwise indicated.11 (link) ROCK inhibitors Y-27632, SR 3677, GSK-429286A, and TC-S 7001 were purchased from Tocris Bioscience. Y-27632 was reconstituted in DI water, while SR 3677, GSK-429286A, and TC-S 7001 were reconstituted in DMSO. Each of these inhibitors were further diluted in cell culture media to reach working concentrations. Live cell images were taken and confluence scores were calculated using the IncuCyte S3 Live-Cell Analysis System (Sartorius). Total cell counts were determined by trypsinizing attached keratinocytes and using the Cellometer Auto 2000 cell counter (Nexcelom Bioscience) after Trypan blue (Thermo Fisher) staining.

Lung Tissue Dissociation and Cytokine Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Lung lobes were diced into small pieces and incubated in RPMI containing 0.33mg/mL Liberase TL and 0.1mg/mL DNase I (both from Sigma Aldrich) at 37°C for 45 minutes under agitation (200rpm). Enzymatic activity was stopped by adding FCS. Digested lung was filtered through a 70μm cell strainer and washed with RPMI. Red blood cells were lysed with the addition of ammonium-chloride-potassium buffer (Gibco) for 5 minutes at room temperature. Cells were then washed with RPMI supplemented with 10% FCS. Live cell numbers were enumerated using AOPI staining on a Cellometer Auto 2000 Cell Counter (Nexcelom).
For assessment of cytokine production, single cell suspensions were incubated in FCS-supplemented RPMI in the presence of 1X Protein Transport Inhibitor Cocktail (eBioscience) for 5 hours.

Lung lobes isolated from mice were washed with sterile 1× PBS, dissected into small pieces, digested in RPMI medium containing Liberase TL (0.33 mg ml−1; Sigma-Aldrich) and DNase I (0.1 mg ml−1; Sigma-Aldrich) at 37 °C for 45 min under agitation (200 r.p.m.) and added with FBS to block enzymatic digestion. Lung tissue was dispersed by passage through a 70-μm-pore-size cell strainer. Red blood cells were lysed with ACK buffer (Gibco) at room temperature for 3 min. Lung cells were washed with 1× PBS supplemented with 10% FBS, centrifuged at 1,500 r.p.m. for 5 min and the cell pellet resuspended in RPMI medium supplemented with 10% FBS. Cell numbers were counted using ViaStain acridine orange propidium iodide staining on a Cellometer Auto 2000 cell counter (Nexcelom).

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.
