For cellular analysis, inflammatory cytokines measurement and signaling pathway analysis, further experimental infections as described above were performed, but the mice only received 100 kU/kg dosage of rhCAT.
On days 2 and 4 post-infection, the mice (n = 4, per group) were euthanized. Lungs were harvested from PBS-perfused mice and diced using surgical scissors. Diced tissue was suspended in 4 mL of CDTI buffer [0.5 mg/mL collagenase from Clostridium histolyticum type IV (Sigma), 50 U/mL Dnase I (Sigma), 1 mg/mL trypsin inhibitor type Ii-s (Sigma) in DMEM] for 1 h at 37 °C. The suspension was then passed through a 100-μm filter, and unwanted red blood cells were lysed using red blood cell lysis buffer [0.02 Tris–HCl (pH 7.4), 0.14 NH4Cl]. Inflammatory cells were purified by centrifugation in 35 % PBS-buffered Percoll (GE Healthcare Life Sciences) at 500 × g for 15 min. Cell pellets were resuspended in staining buffer (RPMI-1640 medium), and Fc receptors were blocked using 25-μg/mL anti-mouse CD16/32 (BD Biosciences). Cells were stained with fluorescently labeled antibodies against the following mouse proteins: CD11b+, F480, Ly6G+ (Neutrophils), CD11b+, F480+, and Ly6G (Macrophage/monocytes).

Mouse primary hepatocytes were isolated as described36 (link)37 (link). Mice were anaesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg/kg pentobarbital. The portal vein was cannulated with a 23-gauge plastic cannula. Mouse livers were perfused with Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS, Cat # 14170-112, Thermo Fisher Scientific) containing 0.19 g/L EDTA. Simultaneously, the inferior vena cava was cut open. Subsequently, livers were perfused with HBSS, calcium, magnesium buffer (Cat # 14025092, Thermo Fisher Scientific) with 0.8 mg/mL Collagenase from Clostridium histolyticum type IV (Sigma, St. Louis, MO). Primary hepatocytes were released and collected in a 50 mL centrifuge tube. After centrifugation at 50 × g for 5 minutes and washing with DMEM, cells were cultured in DMEM/10%FBS (Atlanta Biologicals, Georgia, USA) in 6-well plates pre-coated with 0.1% gelatin (Sigma-Aldrich).

Mouse primary hepatocytes were isolated as described.[11] Mice were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of Xylazine/Ketamine. The portal vein was cannulated with a 23‐gauge plastic cannula. Mouse livers were perfused with Hank's Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS; 14170112; Thermo Fisher Scientific). Subsequently, livers were perfused with HBSS with calcium and magnesium (14,025,092; Thermo Fisher Scientific) containing 0.8 mg/ml collagenase from Clostridium histolyticum type IV (Sigma). Primary hepatocytes were released and collected in a 50‐ml centrifuge tube. After centrifugation at 50 g for 3 min and washing with Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM), cells were cultured in DMEM plus 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) in plates or 6‐well dishes precoated with 0.1% gelatin. Primary hepatocytes were cultured in DMEM containing vehicle or lipid mixture (100 μm palmitate, 100 μm oleic acid, 100 μm linoleic acid, and 1 μg/ml cholesterol). After 24 or 48 h, messenger RNA (mRNA) levels and intracellular lipid levels were determined.

Mouse FLS were cultured as described previously [12 (link)]. In brief, mice were killed, and their skin was removed from the hind paws, which were then cut 1 mm above the ankle joint and placed into Hanks’ balanced salt solution. After a wash, the paws were dissected between the toe and ankle joints using a scalpel blade, and the dissected tissue was placed into DMEM (containing 1% penicillin-streptomycin and 10% FBS) with 10 mg/ml collagenase (from Clostridium histolyticum type IV; Sigma-Aldrich, Gillingham, UK) and placed into a shaking incubator for 1.5 h at 37 °C. Cells (and some tissue debris) were pelleted by centrifugation, re-suspended in DMEM and plated out. Cells were cultured in DMEM to passage 3 before further experimental use, in order to obtain a purified population of FLS.

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.
