Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To investigate the role of AT-EVs in inflammation, 5 × 105 RAW 264.7 macrophages were seeded in six-well plates and cultured with high-glucose DMEM with FBS, until cells reached 80% confluence. As previously described (Xu et al., 2020 (link)), cells were divided into five groups for which the culture medium was replaced as follows: Control group: cells were cultured with DMEM; Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) + IFNγ group: cells were cultured with DMEM +1 μg/mL LPS (#L2880, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, United States) + 30 ng/mL IFNγ (#315-05-100, PeproTech, Rocky Hill, NJ, United States); LPS + IFNγ + dAT-EVs group: cells were cultured with 1 μg/mL LPS +30 ng/mL IFNγ +150 μg/mL dAT-EVs; LPS + IFNγ + mAT-EVs group: cells were cultured with 1 μg/mL LPS +30 ng/mL IFNγ +150 μg/mL mAT-EVs; LPS + IFNγ + cAT-EVs group: cells were cultured with 1 μg/mL LPS +30 ng/mL IFNγ +150 μg/mL cAT-EVs. After induction for 24 h, 2 × 105 cells were incubated with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-anti-mouse CD86 (1:50, #105110, BioLegend, San Diego, CA, United States) and PE-anti-mouse CD206 (1:40, #141706, BioLegend) at 4°C for 30 min, before being washed twice with staining buffer (#00-4222-26, Invitrogen, San Diego, CA, United States of America). Polarization of RAW 264.7 cells was determined using flow cytometry (BD FACSCalibur, Beckman Coulter, Inc., Brea, CA, United States).

Spleens were aseptically removed from naïve WT, Il21r-/-, STAT3flox/flox or CD4stat3-/- mice and cells were mechanically disrupted through a 100 μm cell strainer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) using the plunger of a 6 ml syringe. RBCs were lysed in ACK lysing buffer (Lonza, Walkersville, MD), and the remaining cells were washed twice with ice-cold PBS. A total of 5×106 splenocytes were cultured in duplicate in 1 ml of RPMI 1640 (Gibco) supplemented with 10% FBS and 100 μg/ml penicillin/streptomycin (all from Gibco). Cells were allowed to rest for 2 additional hours at 37°C and subsequently were stimulated in the presence of recombinant murine IFN-γ, IL-17A, IL-21 and IL-22 (20 ng/ml; Peprotech, Rocky Hill, New Jersey, USA) alone or in combination (IFN-γ+IL-17A; IFN-γ+IL-21; IFN-γ+IL-22; 20 ng/ml each). Cells receiving no cytokine treatments were used as controls. Cells were harvested at different intervals following the addition of cytokines and were stained with indicated antibodies.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To investigate the role of ADSC-EVs in regulating macrophage polarization in an inflammatory environment, 5 × 105 raw 264.7 cells were seeded in 6-well plates. After cell attachment, the culture medium was replaced with culture medium (control group), culture medium containing 1 mg/mL LPS (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) and 20 ng/mL IFN-γ (PeproTech, Rocky Hill, USA) (LPS + IFN-γ group), or culture medium containing 1 mg/mL LPS, 20 ng/mL IFN-γ, and different concentrations of EVs (LPS + IFN-γ + EV group), as previously described [23 (link)]. After incubating the different media for 24 h, the polarization of raw 264.7 cells to M1/M2 macrophages was identified by flow cytometry, immunofluorescence staining, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR).

To investigate the role of CEFFE in regulating macrophage polarization in an inflammatory environment, 4 × 105 Raw 264.7 cells were seeded in 6-well plates. After 24 h of cell contact, the normal medium was replaced with 2 mL culture medium (control group); culture medium containing 1 µg/mL lipopolysaccharide (LPS; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) and 30 ng/mL interferon-γ (IFN-γ; PeproTech, Rocky Hill, USA) (LPS + IFN-γ group); culture medium containing 1 µg/mL LPS, 30 ng/mL IFN-γ; and different concentrations of CEFFE (100 µg/mL, 250 µg/mL, and 500 µg/mL). After incubating in these media for 24 h, all media were replaced with fresh media for another 24 h. The polarization of Raw 264.7 cells to M1/M2 macrophages was identified by flow cytometry, immunofluorescence staining, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). We also tested the effects of different concentrations of CEFFE on inactive macrophages in the same way.

Cells were transfected using jetPEI (Polyplus-transfection SA) according to the manufacturer’s protocol in a 24-well cell plate (TPP), and maintained in medium with 100 μg/ml blasticidin (InvivoGen). Cloning was performed by adding ~200 cells to a 150 mm cell culture dish (TPP) to ensure separation of single cells. After 3 weeks, colonies were transferred to a 6-well cell plate (TPP) using cloning filters (Sigma-Aldrich). A share of each of the clones was induced for 72 h with 25 ng/ml IFN-γ (Life Technologies) in a 6-well plate (TPP) and analyzed by direct flow cytometry (see below). Clones were considered positive for the transfected construct if the mean fluorescence intensity exceeded that of the isotype control by 50%, and positive clones were divided into 2 separate wells in a 6-well cell plate (TPP), and either stimulated with 25 ng/ml IFN-γ (Life Technologies) for 72 h or left un-induced, before quantitative flow cytometry (see below).

Primary macrophages were derived as previously described (3 (link)). Briefly, marrow was flushed from the femurs and tibias of 2- to 4-month-old 129SvEvTac mice (Taconic Laboratories, Hudson, NY). Cells were resuspended in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) supplemented with fetal bovine serum (10%), l-glutamine (2 mM), sodium pyruvate (1 mM), β-mercaptoethanol (50 µM), HEPES (10 mM), and penicillin-streptomycin (50 IU/ml penicillin and 50 µg/ml streptomycin). Cells were overlaid onto an equal volume of Histopaque-1083 (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) and centrifuged at 500 × g for 15 min. Monocytes at the interface were harvested and incubated for 6 days at 37°C in 5% CO2 in supplemented DMEM that also contained 30% macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) (conditioned medium from 3T3-MCSF cells) to promote differentiation of adherent monocytes into macrophages (54 (link)). BMDM and RAW264.7 Nramp1G169 cells were activated with 20 ng/ml S. enterica serovar Typhimurium LPS from Sigma-Aldrich (where the dose is equivalent to a multiplicity of infection [MOI] of ~5,000 [20 pM] based on an E. coli dry weight of 2.8e−13 g/cell [55 ], 4.09 nmol LPS/mg dry weight of S. Typhimurium [56 (link)], and the formula weight of S. Typhimurium LPS [Sigma-Aldrich]) and 20 U/ml IFN-γ (PeproTech, Rocky Hill, NJ) or with only 20 U/ml IFN-γ for 18 h.

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.
