The mouse peritoneal macrophages (MPMs) extracted from C57BL/6 female mice and MH-S cells and were cultured routinely in Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI) medium (HyClone) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), l-glutamine, and penicillin. Immortalized bone marrow-derived macrophage (iBMDM) cells and Raw264.7 cells were cultured routinely in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) (HyClone) supplemented with 10% FBS, l-glutamine, and penicillin. All cells were cultured in antibiotic-free medium before PA stimulation or inhibitor pretreatment. The cells were pretreated with VX-765 (HY-13205, Med Chem Express), Nig (HY-13205, Med Chem Express), IL-1β (HY-P7073, Med Chem Express), IL-1β receptor inhibitor (TLR-1, HY-W011400, Med Chem Express), AKT inhibitor VIII (HY-10355, Med Chem Express), or IFN-β (CAT 300-02BC, PeproTech) for the indicated times before stimulation with PA, as indicated; multiplicity of infection (MOI) values are given for the different times.

The mouse vascular smooth muscle cell line (MOVAS-1) was obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA). Cells were cultured in DMEM (Hyclone, Logan, UT, USA) containing 10% FBS (Gibco, Waltham, MA, USA) and 1% (v/v) penicillin/streptomycin at 37 °C in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2. Cells between passages 6 and 8 were used for all experiments. VSMC calcification was induced according to previous protocols [20 (link), 21 (link)]. Briefly, VSMCs were cultured with growing medium in the presence of β-glycerophosphate (β-GP) (10 mM; G9422; Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) for 7 days. To investigate the role of Irisin in VSMC calcification, Irisin (067-29; Phoenix Pharmaceuticals Inc, Burlingame, CA, USA) at different concentrations (50 or 100 ng/ml dissolved in PBS) was used to treat VSMCs in the presence of β-GP medium for 7 days with medium changes every 2–3 days. For pharmacological treatment, the CASP1 inhibitor VX-765 (10 μM; HY-13205), NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950 (100 μM; HY-12815A), ROS scavenger N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC, 20 μM; HY-B0215), autophagy inducer rapamycin (200 nM; HY-10219), autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA, 5 mM; HY-19312), and chloroquine (CQ, 25 μM; HY-17589A) were purchased from MedChem Express (NJ, USA) and used to treat VSMCs according to the experimental design.

Chondrocyte Isolation and Hydroxyapatite Treatment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Chondrocytes were isolated from the condylar cartilage of mouse TMJs by digestion with 0.25 % trypsin (MilliporeSigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) for 20 min. This was followed by digestion with 0.2 % type II collagenase (Invitrogen, ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) for 2–3 h [58 ]. The chondrocytes were grown to 70%–80 % confluence and serum-starved overnight in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium/Nutrient Mixture F-12 medium (DMEM/F12; Gibco, ThermoFisher Scientific) supplemented with 1 % penicillin/streptomycin (Invitrogen, ThermoFisher Scientific).
To investigate the role of hydroxyapatite on NLRP3 inflammasome activation and chondrocyte pyroptosis, nanoscale (particle size less than 100 nm) hydroxyapatite (H106378, Aladdin, Shanghai, China) at different concentrations (20-100μg/ml dissolved in DMEM/F12) were used to treat the chondrocytes for 12–24h. For pharmacological treatment, the Caspase 1 inhibitor VX-765 (HY-13205, MedChemExpress; 2.5 μM), NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950 (HY-12815, MedChemExpress; 1 μM), CTSB inhibitor CA074me (S7420, Selleck; 20 μM) and phagocytosis inhibitor cytochalasin D (HY–N6682, MedChemExpress; 200 nM) were used to treat chondrocytes for 1–2 h prior to the hydroxyapatite application, according to the design of respective experiments. Morphological images of chondrocytes were taken with a phase-contrast microscope (IX83, Olympus, Tokyo, Japan).

Melatonin and Inflammatory Pathways

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats (male, weighing 200-250g) used in this study were supplied by Shandong University Experimental Animal Center (Shandong, China). The rats were reared in groups of about 3-5 rats. Each group was subjected to a 12-hour light/dark cycle and bred with standard rodent chow and water. The ambient temperature was controlled at (25±1°C) and humidity at (45±5%), respectively. The entire animal trial was approved by the Qingdao University Animal Care and Use Committee.
The intraperitoneal injection was performed with melatonin (20mg/kg, MedChemExpress, HY-13205), vehicle (i.e. an equivalent volume of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS)), caspase-1 inhibitor VX-765 (50mg/kg, MedChemExpress, HY-B0075) or the inhibitor of NF-κB activation BAY 11-7085 (BAY) (5mg/kg, MedChemExpress, HY-10257) within the rst three consecutive postoperative days.

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.
