Primary human macrophages were obtained by plating fresh or frozen splenocytes obtained from donors with ruptured spleen caused by trauma with RPMI 1640 medium with 50 ng/mL M-CSF (Novoprotein, Suzhou, Jiangsu, China) and removing unattached cells after 12 hours of culturing. The attached macrophages were then cultured in complete RPMI-1640 medium or RPMI-1640 medium without glutamine and pyruvate (Seahorse Bioscience, Santa Clara, California, USA) for 12 h before simulation with R848 (Sigma, St. Louis, Missouri, USA) or SARS-CoV-2 (MOI = 1). In other experiments, macrophages were treated with 2-DG (1mM; Sigma, St. Louis, Missouri, USA), PPARγ inhibitor GW9662 (2μM; MedChemExpress, Monmouth Junction, NJ, USA), or PPARγ activator rosiglitazone (5μM; MedChemExpress, Monmouth Junction, NJ, USA) for 48 h before stimulation with R848 or SARS-CoV-2 as indicated (MOI = 1). After 24 h of stimulation, supernatants were collected for the measurement of IL-6, TNF-α, CCL2, CCL3 by ELISA and cells were harvested for the detection of IL1B, CD36, and FABP4 mRNA by real-time PCR.

In total 20, male (wild-type) C57BL/6 mice (age, 4–6 weeks; weight, 18–20 g) were obtained from the Animal Centre of Shandong Medical University (Shandong, China). All mice were maintained under specific pathogen-free conditions (20–26°C, 40–70% humidity, 12-h light/dark cycle with access to full-valence granular rat feedstuff and sterile water ad libitum). Mice were randomly divided into four groups: PBS, LCWE, LCWE+AUDA and LCWE+AUDA+GW9662. In each group, mice were injected intraperitoneally with 0.5 ml PBS alone; PBS supplemented with 0.5 mg LCWE; PBS supplemented with 0.5 mg LCWE and 10 mg/kg AUDA (Cayman Chemical, Wuhan, China); or PBS supplemented with 0.5 mg LCWE, 10 mg/kg AUDA and 10 mg/kg GW9662 (MedchemExpress, Shanghai, China), respectively.

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.
