All animal care and treatment procedures were approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee of the Johns Hopkins University. Timed pregnant CD-1® mice were obtained from Charles River Laboratories (Wilmington, MA, USA), and an established model of IUI was used as previously described.12 (link),20 (link)–25 (link) Briefly, on embryonic day (E)17, dams received 25 μg LPS (from E. coli O55:B5; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) in 100 μL phosphate buffered saline (PBS) (pH 7.4, Gibco, ThermoFischer Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) or 100 μL PBS vehicle via intrauterine injection between the first and second gestational sacs of the right uterine horn. A total of 92 dams were randomly assigned to five treatment groups: PBS, LPS, CD8+ T cell depletion (DEP) + PBS, DEP + LPS, and nonsurgical control. Preterm birth was defined as delivery of the litter before E18.5.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The LPS-induced radiocarpal synovitis was selected because it has long been used as an inflammatory pain model in analgesic studies in horses (Palmer & Bertone, 1994 (link); Owens et al., 1996 (link); Todhunter et al., 1996 (link); Smith et al., 1998 (link); de Grauw et al., 2009 (link); Santos et al., 2009 (link); Lindegaard et al., 2010b (link); van Loon et al., 2010 (link)) and because intraplantar LPS was used in several of rodent pain models designed to study the role of sEH inhibitors in anti-nociception (Inceoglu et al., 2006 (link); Schmelzer et al., 2006 (link); Inceoglu et al., 2008 (link); Liu et al., 2010 (link)). Horses were sedated with 0.2–0.5 mg/kg xylazine (AnaSed, Akorn, Inc., IL, USA) i.v. and the skin over both carpi was surgically scrubbed using povidone-iodine antiseptic soap. One radiocarpal joint was injected with 3 µg of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from E. coli O55:B5 (catalog number L5418, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) (Lindegaard et al., 2010b (link)) freshly prepared sterile to 1.5 µg/mL in 0.9% NaCl. The first injected joint was randomly assigned; subsequent injections alternated between joints. During each experiment, the contralateral joint was not injected but arthrocenthesis was performed for SF collection.

Balb/c mice were bred in the animal facility at the Molecular Biotechnology Center, University of Turin. LPS from E. coli O55:B5 (25 mg/kg, Sigma) was injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) in male mice aged 6–8 weeks. rNAPRT was injected i.p. at concentration of 1 or 25 mg/kg per mouse alone or 1–2 h before LPS treatment. Mice were closely monitored periodically to detect signs of endotoxemia and survival rate.

Mice were anesthetized with 100 mg/kg ketamine hydrochloride i.p. and 10 mg/kg xylazine i.p. After anesthesia, mouse tracheas were surgically exposed (Li et al., 2009 (link), 2011 (link)), and a total volume of 50 µl LPS (from E. coli o55:B5; Sigma-Aldrich) per mouse was instilled intratracheally via an angiocatheter that was inserted through the trachea and into the left bronchus. To indicate correct deposition, 1% colloidal carbon was included in the instillate. Upon completion of the experiment, mice were euthanized by CO2.

Eight-week-old male C57BL/6NCrSlc (B6) mice were purchased from Japan SLC, Inc. (Hamamatsu, Japan). Mice received intraperitoneal injection of 3 mg/kg LPS from E. coli O55:B5 (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) that was dissolved in physiological saline at a total volume of 7.5 mL/kg. As the control, mice received intraperitoneal injection of 7.5 mL/kg physiological saline. For the real-time RT-PCR, mice were examined at 4 h after injection of LPS (n = 4) or saline (n = 4). For the double immunohistofluorescence staining, they were examined at 1 (n = 12), 4 (n = 13), and 24 h (n = 8) after LPS injection, and at 1 h after saline injection (n = 15). All mice were handled in accordance with the National Institutes of Health Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (NIH Publications No. 8023, revised 1978).

Evaluation of Human Cell Chimerism in Sepsis Murine Models

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Because of the variability in the level of human cell chimerism after the transplantation of CD34+ cells, the injected mice were pair-matched before the proper experiments. Seven weeks after transplantation, 50 μl of the peripheral blood was collected from the tail vein and placed in the EDTA-containing tubes. Next, the total cell count was evaluated (by using Bürker chamber and Türk’s solution) and the percentage of human CD45+ cells was analyzed by flow cytometry after staining with anti-CD45 PE antibody (BD Biosciences). Animals with chimerism varying less that ±2 % were matched into pairs and subjected to experimental endotoxemia or CLP models. Eight weeks after the transplantation, the selected paired mice were subjected to endotoxemia, receiving an intravenous injection of 40 μg of LPS from E. coli O55:B5 (Sigma-Aldrich) in 100 μl of 0.9 % saline or 100 μl of saline as control.

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.
