BMMФ were stimulated either with IL-4 (10 ng/ml, AF-214-14, Peprotech), lipopolysaccharide (100 ng/ml, Sigma) or dexamethasone (100nM, D4902, Sigma) to respectively achieve M(IL-4), M(LPS) or M(GC) polarization state. In some experiments, BMMФ were treated with C75 (Sigma), Cerulenin (Sigma), Etomoxir (Sigma), pan-AKT inhibitor MK-2206 (1 mM, Cayman Chemical), 25-hydroxycholesterol (10 μM, Cayman chemical), N-acetyl cysteine (10mM, Sigma), Diphenyleneiodonium chloride (DPI, 5 μM, Sigma), L-NG-Nitroarginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 1mM, Cayman Chemical), Allopurinol (100 μM, Sigma), hydrogen peroxide (Sigma), SIRT1 activator II (Sigma), EX-527 (Sigma), Compound C (Sigma), AICAR (Abcam), HMGCoA (Sigma), water-soluble cholesterol (Cholesterol–methyl-β-cyclodextrin, Sigma) or Simvastatin (Sigma).
For fatty acid treatment, palmitic or oleic acid (Cayman) were solubilized at 100mM in absolute ethanol at 60°C. Fatty acid were conjugated at the desired concentration using a sonicator water bath into the macrophage culture medium to avoid endotoxin contamination from BSA54 (link).

Bone Marrow-Derived Macrophage Isolation and Polarization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To derive bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs), bone marrow cells freshly isolated from the femora of Prep-/- and Prep+/- littermates were seeded in 6-well plates, and cultivated in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% FBS (Gibco, 16000-044), a penicillin/streptomycin mix (Gibco, 15140122) and 50 ng/ml M-CSF (PeproTech, AF-315-02) at 37 °C with 5% CO2. BMDMs were fully differentiated and ready for use on Day 7. For macrophage polarization experiments, BMDMs were left unstimulated, stimulated with 50 ng/ml LPS, or stimulated with 20 ng/ml murine Interleukin-4 (PeproTech, AF-214-14) and 20 ng/ml murine Interleukin-13 (PeproTech, AF-315-02) for 24 h. RAW 264.7 cells were obtained from the China Center for Type Culture Collection (Shanghai, China) and cultured and maintained in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS at 37 °C with 5% CO2. NIH-3T3 cells were purchased from Procell Life Science Technology Co., Ltd. (Wuhan, China) and were cultured and maintained in DMEM supplemented with 10% CS (AusGeneX, NCS-S) at 37 °C with 5% CO2.

Murine IL-4 Immune Modulation

Animal-free recombinant murine IL-4 (AF-214-14, Peprotech) was suspended at a concentration of 500 μg/ml and mixed with anti-mouse IL-4 antibody (BioXcell clone 11b11) at a molar ratio of 2:1 (weight 1:5) for 1–2 minutes at room temperature to complex IL-4 with the antibody. The complex (IL-4c) was suspended in PBS to a concentration of 25μg/ml IL-4 and 125 μg/ml of 11b11. Each mouse was injected intraperitoneally with 200μl of IL-4c (5 μg IL-4 and 25 μg 11b11) on day 0 and peritoneal exudate cells (PECs) were collected on day 2.

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.
