The PCR was carried out by using primers targeting (oprI, toxA and lasB) virulence genes [10] ., the PCR assay included 25 μl final reaction mixture which consisted 5 μl of (taq polymerase, reaction buffer., MgCl and DNTPs) (Intron biotechnology, Korea) and 2 μl of each 10 P mol forward and reverse primers specific for these virulence genes, 5 μl from DNA template and 13 μl from (ddH 2 O) to complete the volume to 25 μl final reaction mixture .The reaction tubes were cycled in thermal cycler machine (Techne, England). The PCR program was performed with an initial denaturation for 5 min at 94°C, then 35 cycles of denaturation for 1min at 94°C, annealing for 1min at 58°C and 60°C for lasB gene, extension for 1 min at 72°C and final extension for 5 min at 72°C. The amplified products were resolved in %2 agarose gel electrophoresis stained with ethidium bromide and visualized under UV light [10] . Primers used for amplification of virulence genes of P. aeruginosa isolates as in Table-1.

The following reagents were used throughout this study: zymosan (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), AS1517499 (Axon Medchem BV, Groningen, Netherlands), and recombinant mouse AnxA1 (ab202184; Abcam, Cambridge, UK). For ELISA, we used the mouse TSG-6 ELISA kit (RayBiotech Life, Peachtree Corners, GA, USA) and mouse AnxA1 ELSIA kit (ab264613; Abcam, Boston, MA, USA). The antibodies used for Western blotting were as follows: anti-AnxA1, anti-phospho STAT6 (Tyr-641), anti-STAT6, anti-PPARγ, anti-CD36, anti-MMR, and anti-Arg1 from Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA, USA) and anti-β-actin from Sigma-Aldrich. The Pierce BCA protein assay kit was purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Rockford, IL, USA). The gene-specific relative RT-PCR kit was obtained from Invitrogen Life Technologies (Carlsbad, CA, USA). M-MLV reverse transcriptase was obtained from Enzynomics (Seoul, Korea). The Klenow fragment of DNA polymerase and dNTPs were obtained from Intron Biotechnology (Seoul, Korea).

Soil Microbial DNA Extraction and Sequencing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DNA was extracted from soil microcosms using a modified protocol for the NucleoSpin Soil kit (Macherey-Nagel) (Houghton and Stewart, 2019 (link)). DNA was amplified using universal primers for the V4 region (515F, 806R) of the 16S rRNA gene (Caporaso et al., 2011 (link)). PCR was carried out in 50 μL reaction volumes containing 100 μM dNTPs, 0.5 μM primers, 1 U i-Taq (iNtRON Biotechnology) and 7 μL of an enhancer solution (2.7 M betaine, 0.2 M trehalose, 6.7 mM DTT, 0.06 mg ml−1 BSA and 0.07% DMSO). The final concentration of MgCl2 was 1.5 mM. DNA templates from microcosms were used at final concentrations of 10–50 ng reaction−1. Three PCR amplicons (~300 bp) for each sample were pooled. The amplicons were then purified using the NucleoSpin Gel and PCR Clean-up kit (Macherey-Nagel) and Agencourt AmPure XP (Beckman Coulter). Amplicon libraries using the PCR products were prepared and sequenced by Macrogen Inc. Sequencing data was deposited in the NCBI BioProject database (PRJNA766707 and PRJNA546003).

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.
