Broiler Serum Biomarker Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Serum from broilers was collected from a total of 36 chickens (three from each pen, nine for each treatment) following the methods described by Chuang et al. [11 (link)]. Briefly, chicken blood was collected and stored at 4 °C in a refrigerator R2551HS (TECO Electric and Machinery Co., Ltd., Taipei, Taiwan) for 4–5 h. Blood samples were centrifuged at 3000 rpm× g for 10 min in order to separate the blood cells and the serum, and the serum was stored at −20 °C in a refrigerator before being analyzed. The concentration of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), glutathione peroxidase (Gpx), and superoxidase dismutase (SOD) in broiler serum were measured (TNF-α, Gpx, and SOD were from Cayman Chemical Co., Ltd. Ann Arbor, MI, USA). All the methods for analyzing these compounds followed the manufacturer’s protocol. Other serum characteristics were measured with an automatic biochemical analyzer (Hitachi, 7150 auto-analyzer, Tokyo, Japan).

The NRK52E cells (American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, VA, USA) were treated with TNF-α (20 ng/mL; R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) for 24 h in the presence or absence of the GPR40 agonist, GW9508 (10 μM; Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI, USA), for 1 h prior to the addition of TNF-α, and then harvested for further analysis. The control cells were treated with the vehicle (dimethyl sulfoxide). The NRK52E cells were also treated with TNF-α with or without a 1 h pretreatment with the GPR40 antagonist, GW1100 (10 μM; Cayman Chemical), or GPR40 small interfering (si)RNA (50 nM; ON-TARGET plus Rat Ffar1 (Gene ID: 266607), Item No. L-080051-02-0010, Dharmacon, Lafayette, CO, USA).

Venous Effluent Biomarker Dynamics

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The biochemical markers measured were plasma P-selectin, TNF-α, and MPO levels in the venous effluent in the control and insulin groups. Loco-regional sampling was performed at 0, +2, +4, +6, and +12 hours post reperfusion to establish the temporal evolution of P-selectin, TNF, and MPO in the venous effluent.
ELISA was used to measure plasma MPO (ng/mL; R&D Systems Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA), soluble P-selectin (ng/mL; R&D Systems Inc.), and TNF-α (pg/mL; Cayman Chemical Company, Ann Arbor, MI, USA) levels.

Plasma melatonin concentrations of both IDD patients and healthy controls were measured using human melatonin ELISA Kit (Cat#: 10,698, Glory Science, USA). IL-1β, IL6 and TNF-α levels in the plasma were measured using IL-1β (Cat#:QLB00B, R&D, USA), IL-6 (Cat#: RJ11850, Renjie Bio, China) and TNF-α (589,201–480, Cayman, USA) ELISA kit. All the measurements were conducted according to the manufacturer’s protocols. Three repeats for all the samples measurement were adopted and the average value was used in final analyses.

Enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) were run using commercially available kits validated for equine synovial fluid for IL‐1β (R&D Systems), TNF‐α (R&D Systems), and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2; Cayman Chemical) per manufacturer instructions. Samples were run in duplicate against a standard curve. Calculations of cytokine concentration from raw optical density data were performed using either proprietary (Cayman Chemical; PGE2) or freely available (elisaanalysis.com; IL‐1β, TNF‐α) software.

The cells, media and related detaching kit were from PromoCell, Germany. Primary normal human epidermal keratinocytes (HNEK) were cultivated in complete keratinocyte growth media-2. Cells were used for 8 passages, subcultivated according to the manufacturer’s protocol using the Detach Kit and plated at a density of 1×104 cells per cm2. Cells were grown to confluence for 5-7 days under normal cell culture conditions (37 °C, 5% CO2) and seeded at the same density according to the experiment. Treatment included vehicle (0.1% ethanol), TNFα (10 ng/ml; R&D Systems, USA), RvD1/RvD5 (10 nM; Cayman Chemicals, USA) or TNFα + RvD1 and RvD5.

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.
