24 hours after cell plating, the culture media were replaced with a serum-free medium containing 5.5 mM or 25 mM D-glucose. The low glucose culture medium containing 5.5 mM D-glucose was supplemented with 19.5 mM mannitol (Amresco) to adjust the total osmotic pressure to 25 mM. For various purposes, the incubation continued for 6, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, or 144 hours. As for H/R experiment, cells were incubated in serum-free mediums containing either 5.5 mM or 25 mM D-glucose (the osmotic pressure of which had been balanced as previously stated) for 6 hours before being subjected to hypoxia. At the end of treatment the cells or medium were harvested.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA01) or Staphylococcus aureus (QO51) was grown in nutrient broth (VWR, Leuven, Belgium) overnight before being refreshed for 3 hr and diluted to OD600 = 0.3 (P. aeruginosa) or OD600 = 5 (S. aureus) in sterile PBS. βENaC-Tg mice (3 weeks old) received a subcutaneous injection of I.6 CatS inhibitor (200 mg/kg) or vehicle control (4% DMSO in peanut oil, Sigma-Aldrich). After 20 min, mice received an intranasal delivery of 20 μl of either P. aeruginosa (OD 0.3), S. aureus (OD 5) or PBS control under isoflurane anaesthetic. Mice were sacrificed 6 hr later, and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid collected and processed as described below. Lungs and spleens were collected and homogenised in sterile PBS. Samples were plated on cetrimide (Sigma-Aldrich) (P. aeruginosa) or mannitol (VWR, Leuven, Belgium) (S. aureus) agar for quantification of CFU.

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.
