Quantifying Splenic Cytokine Profiles

Under 5% isoflurane anaesthesia, spleens were dissected and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen for storage at -80°C. Spleens were thawed on ice and weighed, protein was extracted from ~20mg of spleen tissue per 100μl of protein extraction lysis buffer. Tissue was homogenised using a Precellys-Cryolys (Bertin Instruments, Montigny-le-Bretonneux, France). Lysate was then centrifuged, and supernatant stored at -80°C prior to analysis. The Bio-plex 23 cytokine/chemokine mouse array bead kit was used for cytokine/chemokine quantification following the manufacturer’s instructions (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) using protein from 4mg of spleen tissue per mouse. The beads were analysed using a MAGPIX system (Luminex, Austin, TX) and the medium fluorescent intensity values (corrected for background reading) were compared.

Cartilage Extraction and DNA Isolation

Full-thickness cartilage sections were dissected from the femoral head (human hip samples) or tibial plateau (human and mouse knee samples). A representative section was saved in 4% paraformaldehyde for histopathological scoring. Approximately 200mg of cartilage tissue was cryogenically ground using a grinder mill (Spex CertiPrep, Middlesex, UK), murine samples were cryogenically ground using a Precellys Cryolys (Bertin, Bretonneux, France). DNA was isolated using a DNeasy kit (Qiagen). Plasticware and reagents were decontaminated by a 30-minute UV exposure as previously described(21 (link),22 (link)). PCR master mixes were decontaminated with double-stranded DNAse treatment (PCR decontamination kit, Arcticzymes, Tromsø, Norway). Sterile water was processed using the same (murine) procedure as a negative control.

Metabolite Extraction from Liver and Feces

The frozen liver and lyophilized fecal samples were ground with liquid nitrogen using mortar and pestle, pre-weighed in the lysis tubes, and homogenized in tissue homogenizer (Precellys Cryolys, Bertin Technologies SAS) by the addition of MeOH:H2O (2:1) with 0.1% FA (1500 μL) and ceramic beads (for 2 × 20 seconds at 10,000 rpm). Homogenized extracts were centrifuged for 15 minutes at 21,000 g at 4°C, and the aliquots (50 μL) of supernatants were pre-mixed with 100 μL of the ice-cold IS mixture (in 100% MeOH), and 600 μL of H2O with 0.2% formic acid, and loaded onto solid-phase extraction (SPE) plates for further processing as previously described (Sorrentino et al., 2020 (link)). Plasma aliquots (25 μL) were prepared in the same way (with the addition of the IS mixture) and processed using SPE for the phospholipid removal and BA pre-concentration.

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.
