Mito+ and Mito RBCs were generated from HD PBMCs in the presence or absence of MG132 (5 μM) respectively. To deplete mtDNA, 2′,3′-Dideoxycytidine (ddC, 100 μM; Sigma–Aldrich) was added during the culture together with MG132. RBCs were then opsonized with anti-human RBC antibody (diluted 1:250; Rockland), stained with 2 μM CFSE (Thermo-Fisher) or with 100 ng/mL pHrodo™ Red SE (Thermo-Fisher) and then co-cultured with macrophages at a 1:2 (M⏀ to RBCs ratio) for 18 h in cRPMI medium with 10% FBS. For some experiments, RBCs were oxidized with Copper (II) sulfate (0.5 mM; Santa Cruz Biotech) and Sodium L-ascorbate (100 mM; Santa Cruz Biotech) or aged with Calcium Chloride (2.5 mM; Santa Cruz Biotech) and A23187 (0.5 μM; Sigma–Aldrich) for 30 min at 37°C. The supernatants were collected and frozen for the quantification of cytokine levels with the CBA assay (BD Bioscience). Non-engulfed RBCs were removed by three washes with cold PBS, phagocytes were collected using trypsin and EDTA and assessed for phagocytosis by flow cytometry or immunofluorescence microscopy upon counterstaining the actin filaments with AlexaFluor 647 Phalloidin (Thermo-Fisher) and nuclear DNA with Hoechst 33342 (Thermo-Fisher). Pre-complexed Poly dA:dT/ LyoVec™ (referred as Poly dA:dT. 1 μg/mL; Invivogen) was used as a positive control.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
THP-1 cells were seeded in 96-well plates (Corning Costar) at a density of 100,000 cells per well. First, cells were stimulated for 18 h with rSIP, FLH, LPS, a NOD 1 ligand (positive control for NF-kB; C12-iE-DAP, InvivoGen), and a PRR agonist (positive control for IRF; Poly (dA:dT)/LyoVec™, InvivoGen). The supernatant was then subjected to a colorimetric enzyme assay to measure alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity using the commercial QUANTI-Blue™ solution (InvivoGen). The supernatant was then incubated at 37°C for 3 h, and the optical density was read at 650 nm in an Epoch 2 reader (BioTek). On the other hand, luciferase activity (LUCIA) was measured using the commercial solution QUANTI-Luc ™ (InvivoGen), which has a coelenterazine substrate and stabilizing agents for the luciferase reaction. The light signal produced was then quantified using a Berthold luminometer (Model LB9515), and the signal was expressed as relative light units (RLUs).
Hek-Blue cells (hkb-mtlr4 and hkb-htlr4, InvivoGen) express SEAP under the control of promoters containing binding elements for the NF-κB transcription factor (35 (link)). Hek-Blue cells were seeded in 96-well plates (Corning Costar) at a density of 25,000 cells per well in HEK-Blue™ Detection medium (InvivoGen). Then, the cells were stimulated for 48 h with rSIP, FLH, and LPS, and SEAP was quantified using an Epoch 2 reader (Biotek).

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.
