Plasma from the patients with NPC was isolated within 2 h after blood collection and frozen at −80 °C for later use. The Magnetic Luminex Performance assay (R&D) was applied to evaluate TNF‐a, VEGF, GM‐CSF, IL‐12p70, IL‐10, IL‐8, IL‐6, IL‐4, IL‐2, and IL‐1β. We used the ELISA Kit purchased from the R&D company to determine plasma TGF‐ β1 level. All detection assays were performed according to the manufacturer's protocols.

Quantifying Metalloproteinases in Tissue Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The concentrations of MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-9 and MMP-13 in tissue homogenates
were assessed using a Magnetic Luminex Performance Assay (R&D Systems,
Inc.) 5-Plex Panel. Multiplexes were run on a LABScanTM 100 platform (Luminex
Corp., Austin, TX, USA) equipped with Luminex® 100 IS software.
Tissue homogenates were incubated with antibody-coated microspheres, which bind to
specific MMPs. Microsphere–MMP complexes were washed and incubated with
biotinylated MMP antibodies, which bind to MMPs present on the microspheres. A
final incubation was performed in which phycoerythrin-labeled streptavidin was
allowed to bind to biotinylated MMP antibodies present on microspheres.
Microspheres were then loaded into a LABScanTM 100 analyzer, which quantifies the
amount of phycoerythrin fluorescence present on each of the distinct microsphere
groups. At least 50 individual microspheres were counted for each MMP, and the
median fluorescence intensity was used for subsequent calculations.

The concentration of serum molecules was determined by using Luminex technology. MILLIPLEX MAP Human Sepsis Magnetic Bead Panel 1 (macrophage migration inhibitory factor [MIF], soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 [sICAM-1], soluble Fas [sFas], soluble Fas ligand [sFasL], soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 [sVCAM-1], and total plasminogen activator inhibitor-I [tPAI-I]) (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA), MILLIPLEX MAP Human Sepsis Magnetic Bead Panel 3 (lactoferrin, elastase 2, neutrophil gelatinase–associated lipocalin [NGAL], resistin, and thrombospondin-1) (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) and Magnetic Luminex Performance Assay (Human High Sensitivity Cytokine Base Kit A, interferon-γ [IFN-γ]) (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) were used for determining the serum levels of these molecules according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Data was acquired on Luminex xMAP technology (Millipore, St Charles, MO, US). For concentration calculation, the calibration curve for each serum molecule was analyzed with a five parameter logistic curve fit curve through the Milliplex Analyst Software (Viagene Tech, Carlisle, MA, USA).

Quantitative determination of MMP-1, MMP-9, and MMP-13 released by γ-FFs and γ-CAFs were performed by Magnetic Luminex® Performance assay (R&D Systems). γ-FFs and γ-CAFs were plated for 4 h in D-MEM supplemented with 10% FCS and D-MEM/F-12:1/1 supplemented with 10% FCS, respectively at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator. γ-FFs were incubated for 2 h at 37°C in presence of 100 ng/mL TNFα in D-MEM supplemented with 1% FCS without antibiotics while γ-CAFs were directly incubated in D-MEM/F-12:1/1 supplemented with 1% FCS without antibiotics. Both γ-FFs and γ-CAFs were maintained for 5 d in their respective medium supplemented with 1% FCS (without any medium change). Supernatants (duplicate) were analyzed with a Magnetic Luminex® Performance assay multiplex kit including human MMP-1, MMP-9, and MMP-13.

Two panels of biomarkers were designed to interrogate host pathways of: (1) immune activation; and (2) endothelial activation. Selected molecules have been previously validated as biologically plausible and clinically informative markers host response to infection. Immune activation was assessed using circulating (plasma) levels of C-X-C motif chemokine Ligand 10 (CXCL10)/interferon γ-induced protein 10 kDa (IP-10) [25 (link),26 (link)], chitinase-3-like protein 1 (CHI3L1) [42 (link)], soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor-1 (sTNFR1) [41 (link)], soluble triggering receptor expressed on myelocytes (sTREM-1) [40 (link)], interleukin 6 (IL-6), and interleukin 8 (IL-8) [41 (link)]. Endothelial activation was assessed using angiopoietin-2 (Angpt-2) [34 (link),35 (link)], angiopoietin-1 (Angpt1) [27 (link)], soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) [30 (link)], soluble vascular cell adhesion molecules (VCAM-1) [30 (link)], and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) [30 (link)].

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.
