HepG2.2.15 or HepAD38 cells transfected with CD40 siRNA/siCtrl were stimulated with CD40 ligand (CD40L;1 μg/ml; Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), neutralizing by preincubation with monoclonal antagonistic antibody against CD40 (anti-CD40; 5 μg/ml; R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) or antagonistic antibody against CD40L (anti-CD40L; 0.1 μg/ml; Ancell, Bayport, MN, USA) for 1 h. HepG2.2.15 or HepAD38 cells were seeded in a 6-well plate (5 x 105 cells/well) overnight and then transfected with CD40 plasmid/vector. The inhibitor nifuroxazide (Selleck Chemicals, Houston, TX, USA) at a final concentration of 20 μM was added to the medium for 24 h.

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from peripheral blood of HDs by centrifugation on Ficoll-Paque Plus (GE Healthcare Lifesciences) gradients38 (link). CD4+ T, CD8+ T, NK and B cells were isolated from PBMCs using negative selection-based cell isolation kits from Miltenyi, #130-096-495, #136-096-533, Stem Cell Technologies, #19055, and Biolegend #480061, respectively, following manufacturers’ protocol. Isolated cells were cultured in RPMI medium supplemented with 10% (v/v) exosome-depleted and heat-inactivated FBS at 37 °C in the atmosphere of 5% CO2 in air16 (link). T cells were activated with CD3/CD28 T cell activator (25 µl/mL, Stem Cell) and IL-2 (150 IU/mL, Peprotech) at 1 × 106 cells/mL in RPMI medium for 12 h. NK cells were activated by 48 h incubation with IL-2 (100 IU/mL, Peprotech) and IL-15 (150 IU/mL, Peprotech) at 1 × 106 cells/mL. B cells were activated by 12 h incubation with IL-4 (100 IU/mL, R & D System) and CD40L (0.5 ug/mL, Cell Signaling Technology, #3583 S) at 1 × 106 cells/mL.

LPS-Induced Inflammation Model

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
LPS from Escherichia coli O111:B4, miR-223–3p/miR-142–3p mimics, inhibitors, and respective controls were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), fetal bovine serum (FBS), RPMI-1640 and DMEM were purchased from Gibco. EV-depleted FBS (System Biosciences). The canonical 3’ end adenylated hsa-miR-223–3p (5’ UGUCAGUUUGUCAAAUACCCCAAAA 3’) and 3’ end uridylated miR-223 (5’ UGUCAGUUUGUCAAAUACCCCAUUU 3’) were synthesized by Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT). IDT also synthesized all the adapters and primers used in this study, as described below. Lipofectamine® 3000 reagent, gentamicin, and protease inhibitor cocktail were purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific. NLRP3 and CD68 antibodies were purchased from Abcam. CD11c, F4/80, Ly-6G/Ly-6C, and CD45 antibodies were ordered from BD Biosciences. E-cadherin, ASC, β-actin and CD40L antibodies were ordered from Cell Signaling Technology. K. pneu (strain from ATCC#43186) was provided by Dr. Dela Cruz at Yale University School of Medicine.

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.
