For stimulation experiments of CD14+ monocytes, cells were seeded in a 48-well plate (677970; Greiner Bio-One, Frickenhausen, Germany) at a density of 5 × 105 cells per well in 400 µl of RPMI 1640 (Gibco) with 10% sterile FCS, gentamicin (10 µg/ml; Lonza Bioscience, Durham, NC), 2 mM GlutaMAX (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA), and 1 mM sodium pyruvate (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA). Cells were subsequently stimulated with medium control, LPS (from Escherichia coli O111:B4; 100 ng/ml; In vivo gen, San Diego, CA), Pam3CSK4 (1 µg/ml; In vivo gen), flagellin (from P. aeruginosa; 1 µg/ml; FLA-PA Ultrapure, In vivo gen), and poly(I:C) High Molecular Weight (HMW) (10 µg/ml, In vivo gen) for 2 h or heat-killed bacteria [cell-bacteria ratio, 1:10; Streptococcus (S.) pneumoniae ATCC® 6303 and Klebsiella (K.) pneumoniae ATCC43816] for 2, 6, and 24 h. Medium was collected, and the cells were stored in RNA protect cell reagent (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) until further processing. In a separate experiment, primary monocytes (5 × 105cells per well) were pretreated with the NF-κB inhibitor BAY11-7082 (Malladi et al., 2004 (link)) (10 µM; Tocris Bioscience, Bristol, UK) or vehicle control (dimethyl sulfoxide; Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) for 30 min and then incubated in medium, with or without LPS (100 ng/ml) for 2 h.

Spinal Cord Injury Mouse Model

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were anesthetized with ketamine (75 mg/kg) and xylazine (3 mg/kg) intraperitoneally and the muscles overlying the T5 to T8 vertebrae were dissected, followed by laminectomy to expose the spinal cord. To induce SCI, extradural compression of the spinal cord at the level of the T6-T7 vertebra was conducted via placement of an aneurysm clip with a closing force for 1 min, as described by Paterniti et al. [17 (link)]. The aneurysm clip is with a closing force of 30 g based on previous study [18 (link)]. Mice undergoing laminectomy alone served as the sham group.
Mice in treatment groups received a daily single-dose intraperitoneal injection of BAY 11-7082 (Tocris Bioscience, Bristol, UK) at 20 mg/kg or A438079 (Tocris Bioscience) at 80 mg/kg in 0.1 ml vehicle (DMSO and 0.9% NaCl, 1:3) immediately after injury and following 2 days. Sham and SCI groups received daily 0.1 ml vehicle immediately post injury and following 2 days intraperitoneally. Mice underwent manual bladder expression twice a day until recovery of reflex bladder emptying. The timing and dose of BAY 11-7082 [19 (link), 20 (link)] and A438079 [21 (link)] were based on previous studies.

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.
