TNF-Induced Septic Shock in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Wild‐type or Pml‐knockout C57BL/6 mice aged 6–8 weeks and of the same sex were used for TNF‐induced septic shock. Mice were anesthetized using Avertin, and mouse TNF (1.5 µg/g) in a total volume of 200 µl endotoxin‐free PBS was injected intravenously (i.v.). Body temperatures were monitored rectally every 1–3 h for 30 h using an industrial electronic thermometer (Kane‐May), and mouse mortality was recorded at the same time. Mice were sacrificed when their body temperature fell below 22°C. Serum was collected by cardiac puncture 15 min within mice dying. For live mice, serum was collected 30 h after TNF injection. Serum LDH was measured using an LDH Cytotoxicity Detection Kit (Clontech, #MK401) following the user manual. Serum GPT/ALT levels were determined using FUJI DRI‐CHEM SLIDE GPT/ALT‐P III (FUJIFILM, Tokyo, Japan). Mouse serum TNF, IL‐6, and IL‐1α levels were detected using a TNF alpha Mouse Uncoated ELISA Kit (Invitrogen, #88‐7324‐88), IL‐6 Mouse Uncoated ELISA Kit (Invitrogen, #88‐7064‐88), or ELISA MAX™ Deluxe Set Mouse IL‐1α (BioLegend, #433404), respectively. For MK2 and RIPK1 inhibitor treatment, mice were pre‐treated with 75 µg PF‐3644022 (Sigma‐Aldrich, # PZ0188) per mouse or Nec‐1s (6 µg/g) 15 min before TNF injection by intraperitoneal injection, and then subjected to inhibitor treatment again 60 min after TNF injection.

U2OS cells (purchased from ATCC) were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium (DMEM, Sigma, D5796) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Thermo Scientific, E6541L), 2 mM L-Glutamine (LabClinics, M11–004) and 100 μg/ml penicillin-streptomycin (LabClinics, P11-010). For the inhibition of p38α, we used 1 μM PH-797804 (Selleckchem, S2726) or 10 μM SB203580 (Axon MedChem); both compounds can also inhibit p38β, although PH-797804 has been reported to preferentially inhibit p38α44 (link). MK2 was inhibited using 10 μM MK-2 Inhibitor III (Calbiochem) or 10 μM PF 3644022 (Sigma, PZ0188), whereas MSK activity was inhibited using 5 μM SB 747651 (Axon MedChem), and MNK activity was inhibited using 10 μM CGP-57380 (Sigma). MitoQ (kind gift from M. Murphy, Cambridge, UK) was used at 0.5 μM. Cisplatin was used at 50 μM, and the caspase inhibitors Z-VAD(OMe)-FMK (SM Biochemicals LLC SMFMK001) and Q-VD-OPH (SM Biochemicals LLC SMPH001) at 50 μM. The inhibitors were dissolved in DMSO and the total concentration of DMSO in the culture medium did not exceed 1%.

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.
