Canine PMN Interactions with Dirofilaria Larvae

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Using 96-well flat bottom plates (Nunc), canine PMN (n = 3, 2 × 105 in duplicates) were cocultured with D. immitis microfilariae (100 and 300 larvae per sample) or L3 (10 and 20 larvae per sample) in RPMI 1640 medium (1% penicillin/streptomycin, without phenol red) in a final volume of 200 µl. In parallel, PMN were pretreated with the NADPH inhibitor diphenyleneiodonium (DPI, 10 µM 30 min; Sigma-Aldrich) before exposure to microfilariae. To resolve NET formation, treatment with DNase I (90 U/sample, Roche Diagnostics) was used. For heat-induced killing (HI), microfilariae or L3 were incubated for 60 min at 60°C. Following coculture, 3 µM Sytox Orange® Nucleic Acid Stain (Life Technologies, final concentration) was added to each well, and measurements were performed every 30 min for up to 8 h. Sytox Orange-derived fluorescence intensities were estimated by spectrofluorometric analyses at an excitation wavelength of 547 nm and emission wavelength 570 nm using an automated plate monochrome reader (Varioskan Flash®; Thermo Scientific). For negative controls, PMN in plain medium were used. Stimulation of PMN with zymosan (1 mg/ml; Invitrogen) served as positive control.

Osteoblast-Mediated Regulation of Bone Marrow Cell Apoptosis

To test whether osteoblasts could affect the apoptosis of BMCs, osteoblasts from WT or ColI-Synd2 bones were plated in porous inserts (1 μm) and cultured to confluence. BMCs from WT mice were cultured on sterile coverslips in 24-well plates with or without osteoblasts in DMEM/FCS/P/S containing 15% L (control) or Wnt3a-CM for 72 h. The inserts were then removed and 0.5 μM SYTOX Orange nucleic acid stain (Life Technologies, Thermofisher, Waltham, MA, USA) was added to the medium. BMCs exposed to UV light were a positive control for apoptosis induction. The cells were washed and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde in phosphate-buffered saline and nuclei were stained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; Invitrogen). The ratio of Sytox- to DAPI-positive cells was measured under a fluorescent microscope with the Apotome 1 system (Zeiss) and Axiovision software.

Visualizing NETosis in Neutrophils

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Purified genital neutrophils were re-suspended in HBSS containing Sytox orange nucleic acid stain (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR) and plated on coverslips. HIV-VLP GFP-labeled (5,000 VLP/cell, unless otherwise specified), calcium ionophore A23187 (Sigma), or ssRNA40 (InvivoGen, San Diego, CA) were used to stimulate NETosis for 1h at 37 °C. Unstimulated neutrophils incubated in HBSS with Sytox orange were used as unstimulated controls. Cells were carefully washed with HBSS, and samples were mounted in Pro-Long Diamond anti-fade mountant with DAPI (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Samples were imaged using a Zeiss LSM 510 laser-scanning confocal microscope in combination with Zeiss Zen software.

Wells of 96-well black transparent-bottom plates (Greiner Bio-One, Kremsmünster, Austria) were either left untreated or coated overnight with 50 µg/ml FH in modified Hank's buffer.
Neutrophils (10 6 cells) were allowed to adhere to the wells for 30 min at 37°C in CO2 thermostat.
Soluble FH (50 µg/ml) or 100 nM PMA (Sigma-Aldrich) as a positive control was added and after 3 h of incubation in CO2 thermostat at 37°C, NETs were visualized on adherent neutrophils by addition of 5 µM Sytox Orange nucleic acid stain (Molecular Probes-Invitrogen).

Six treatments were prepared in a final volume of 150 µL as follows: T1 = PMN (control): 75 µL of PMN + 75 µL of RPMI-1640 medium [30 (link)]; T2 = PMN + Whole semen (sperm + SP): 75 µL of PMN + 75 µL of Whole semen [10 (link)]; T3 = PMN + Sperm: 75 µL of PMN + 75 µL of Sperm [30 (link)]; T4 = PMN + SP: 75 µL of PMN + 37.5 µL of SP (25% of SP with respect to the total volume) + 37.5 µL of RPMI-1640 medium [30 (link)]; T5 = PMN + formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP): 75 µL of PMN + 15 µL 0.1 mM FMLP (F3506; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) + 60 µL of RPMI-1640 medium [10 (link),21 (link),30 (link)]; and T6 = PMN + Kenney: 75 µL of PMN + 75 µL of Kenney [30 (link)].
All treatments were incubated at 37 °C for 2 h. After that, PMN were stained with SYTOX™ Orange Nucleic Acid Stain (S11368; ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and the percentage of reacted PMN (NETosis) was evaluated using a confocal microscope. Extracellular ROS production (measured as H2O2 levels) was determined through the Amplex® Red Hydrogen Peroxide/Peroxidase Assay Kit (A22188; ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). The evaluations were carried out by the same technician to avoid errors and biases due to the human factor.

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.
