CD45+ leukocyte populations (CD33+HLA-DR, CD33HLA-DRCD16, and CD33-HLA-DRCD16+) from human PJI tissues were purified by FACS, whereupon total RNA was immediately isolated using the TaqMan gene expression Cells-to-CT kit (Ambion, Austin, TX). qRT-PCR was performed using TaqMan primer/probe mixes (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA) for the following genes: indoleamine-pyrrole 2,3-dioxygenase-1 (IDO-1), Proteinase 3, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), arginase-1 (Arg-1), IL-10, CD206, TNF-α, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2), and the housekeeping gene GAPDH. Results are reported as genes being expressed (+) or absent (−) in each of the CD45+ leukocyte populations.

Quantitative PCR Analysis of Astrocyte and bEND.3 Cell mRNA Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Astrocytes and bEND.3 cells were cultured as described above, and mRNA
was harvested after 7-10 days using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen 74104) according
to the manufacturer’s instructions. Equal amounts of isolated mRNA were
reverse transcribed into cDNA using QuantiTect Reverse Transcription kit (Qiagen
205311), and one tenth of this reaction was used per quantitative polymerase
chain reaction (qPCR). Quantitative PCR was performed using TaqMan primer-probe
mixes (Applied Biosystems, TaqMan gene expression assay numbers: Mm01275814_m1
for Slc1a2, Mm00600697_m1 for Slc1a3, and Mm99999915_g1 for Gapdh), and an
Applied biosystem quantflex 7 was used for detection. Gapdh mRNA was measured in
multiplex assays. There were no differences between samples in gapdh levels;
therefore, data generated from qPCR are presented as those normalized to Gapdh.
TaqMan gene expression assays have a PCR efficiency of 100% (±10%) as
validated by Applied Biosystems. To determine the relative expression levels,
the comparative CT (ΔΔ Ct) method was used
(Livak and Schmittgen, 2001 (link); Schmittgen and Livak, 2008 (link)).

Quantitative RT-PCR Analysis of RNA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RNA isolated using TRIzol (Life Technologies) was reverse transcribed to cDNA using the high-capacity cDNA reverse transcription kit (Applied Biosystems) for subsequent qRT-PCR analysis. We used Taqman primer/probe mixes predesigned by Integrated DNA Technologies and Taqman gene expression master mix (Applied Biosystems) to perform qRT-PCR. Data are presented as fold changes in RNA levels compared to control treatment, calculated following the 2−ΔΔCt method.

Astrocytes and bEND.3 cells were cultured as described above, and mRNA was harvested after 14 days using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Equal amounts of isolated mRNA were reverse transcribed into cDNA using a high capacity RNA-to-DNA kit (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA), and one tenth of this reaction was used per quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Quantitative PCR was performed using Taqman primer-probe mixes (Applied Biosystems) and a Stratagene Mx3005 qPCR system was used for detection.

Gene Expression Analysis of Differentiated HIE

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Differentiated HIE monolayers were cultured in 3 conditions: in 96-well plates, in the mPC without flow, and in the mPC with flow (200 μL hr−1) as described above. After 24 hours, the cells were washed 2x with PBS and lysed with Trizol reagent (Ambion). RNA was isolated with the Direct-Zol RNA MiniPrep Kit (Zymo Research) following manufacturer’s instructions. 2-3 wells were pooled for one biological sample. qScript XLT 1-step RT-qPCR ToughMix with ROX master mix (Quantabio) and Taqman primer-probe mixes (ThermoScientific) were used to perform RT-qPCR (StepOne Plus, Applied Biosystems). Probe information is in Supplemental Table 1. Gene expression levels were normalized to GAPDH and fold change was calculated with the 2−ΔΔCt method.

Monocytes (CD11bhighLy6G-Ly6C+F4/80-) from the soft tissue surrounding the infected knee were purified by sorting on a FACSAria (BD Biosciences; RRID:SCR_016695) using the antibody panel described above, whereupon RNA was immediately isolated using an RNeasy Plus Micro Kit (Cat #74034 Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). cDNA was synthesized using the iScript cDNA Synthesis Kit (Cat #1708891 Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) and qPCR was performed using TaqMan primer/probe mixes (ThermoFisher) for the following genes: arginase-1 (Arg-1; Cat #Mm00475988_m1), IL-10 (Cat #Mm00439616_m1), triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (Trem2; Cat #Mm00451744_m1), hypoxia-inducible factor-alpha (HIF-1α; Cat #Mm00468869_m1), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS; Cat #Mm00440485_m1), TNF-α (Cat #Mm00443258_m1), Trem1 (Cat #Mm00451738_m1), and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH; Cat #Mm99999915_g1). Gene expression levels of monocytes from CTO treated mice were normalized to GAPDH and are presented as the fold-induction (2-ΔΔCt) value relative to monocytes isolated from CT treated animals. In separate experiments, monocyte gene expression was evaluated by NanoString, using the nCounter PanCancer Mouse Immune Profiling kit (Cat #XT-CSO-MIP1-12; NanoString, Seattle, WA). Results are expressed as the fold-change in monocytes recovered from CTO vs. CT treated mice.

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.
