Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Size-matched polyp and normal tissues were collected from the small intestine of B6.ApcMin/+ mice and B6.Apc+/+ mice, respectively. Tissues were frozen in Qiagen RLT buffer (Valencia, CA) and RNA extracted with Qiagen RNeasy Mini Kits. Quantitative RT-PCR was done with SYBR Green (Quanta BioSciences, Gaithersburg, MD) to measure the expression levels of F4/80, IL-6, IL-1b, TNF and Myc in adipose or intestinal tissues (see Supplementary Table 2 for primer sequences). Tissues for Western blot analysis were immediately submerged in RIPA buffer supplemented with phosphatase and protease inhibitors, frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at −80°C. All antibodies (AKT, pAKT, IKK, pIKK, NFκB, p65 NFκB, STAT3, pSTAT3) were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology (Beverly, MA) and used according to manufacturer’s instructions. Homogenates from intestinal samples were used to measure intestinal inflammation using R&D Systems (Minneapolis, MN) IL-1β, IL-10, TNF-α, VEGF, and IL-23 ELISAs and the Milliplex Map Mouse Cytokine/Chemokine Panel from EMD Millipore (Temecula, CA).

To obtain TIF, 0.1–0.3 g of fresh tumor tissues were cut into small pieces (1–3 mm3), processed in homogenizer for 30–60 s and then placed in a 15-mL conical plastic tube containing cold PBS (1 mL PBS per 0.25 g tumor tissue). Samples were centrifuged at 100 x g for 3 min and the supernatants were transferred to new microtubes. Samples were further centrifuged at 2500 × g for 20 min at 4 °C. To obtain serum, mice were anesthetized with a ketamine and xylazine cocktail (100 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg, respectively) and blood was drawn by cardiac puncture. Whole blood was clotted for 30–60 minutes then centrifuged at 2000 × g for 20 min. TIF and sera supernatants were analyzed using a MILLIPLEX MAP Mouse Cytokine/Chemokine Panel as per manufacture’s instructions (EMD Millipore).

Proteomic Analysis of Colonic Inflammation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Colonic samples (n = 5–6/group per time point) were collected from C57BL/6 female mice receiving 2% DSS or 2% DSS + TUS. Collection was performed at days 0, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 14. After PBS 1× cleaning, samples were snap frozen and processed for further proteomic analysis. Briefly, frozen colonic samples were homogenized in cell lysis buffer (1 mM EDTA, 150 mM NaCl, 0.05% Tween-20 and 20 mM Tris-HCl in ultrapure water) containing Pierce Protease Inhibitor Tablets (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA) and 1.0 mm Zirconium Beads. Homogenates were centrifuged at 14,000 rpm at 4 °C for 20 min and the supernatant was collected. The process was repeated two times and aliquots were stored at −80 °C. Bicinchoninic acid assay (BCA – Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA) was used for protein quantification and samples were further diluted to 1 mg/mL of total protein. MILLIPLEX Map Mouse Cytokine/Chemokine Panel (EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA) was used for proteomic analysis of colonic homogenates according to manufacturer specifications in a Bio-Plex 200 (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA). The same control samples (day 0) were used for multiplex ELISA experiments in the 2% DSS and 2% DSS + TUS exposed mice. Further analysis of colonic TGFβ (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA) and HSP70 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) were performed using ELISA Streptavidin-HRP assay.

Colon Cytokine Profiling in DSS-Induced Colitis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Colon samples from animals (n = 6/each time point) receiving 3% DSS were snap frozen and later homogenized for protein extraction. Briefly, frozen colon samples were processed in cell lysis buffer containing 150 mmol/L NaCl, 1 mmol/L EDTA, 20 mmol/L Tris-HCl and 0.05% Tween-20, with addition of protease inhibitor (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, United States) and 1.0 mm Zyrconium Beads. Samples were centrifuged twice at 14000 r/min at 4 °C for 20 min and supernatant was collected. Aliquots were kept at -80 °C until further analysis. Samples were quantified through bicinchoninic acid assay (BCA - Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, United States) and diluted to a final concentration of 1 mg/mL of total protein. Colon homogenates were analyzed by MILLIPLEX Map Mouse Cytokine/Chemokine Panel (EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA, United States) using Bio-Plex 200 (Bio-Rad) according to manufacturer specifications.

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.
