Primary or cultured podocytes were grown on 0.1 μg/ml Collagen I-coated plates in DMEM media supplemented with 5% FBS, 1% Antibiotic-Antimycotic. Cells were seeded onto a 96 well XFe96 microplate (part of Seahorse XFe96 FluxPak, Agilent) at a cell density of 3 × 104 cells/well, 2 days before assay to allow cells attachment. One day before the assay, cartridge plate (part of Seahorse XFe96 FluxPak, Agilent) was hydrated overnight with H2O and replaced with Calibrant (Agilent) for at least 1hr in a non-CO2 incubator. Cell plates were washed once with PBS and replaced with Seahorse Assay Medium (pH 7.4) (Agilent) and replaced again right before assay. Assay conditions and set up were performed using Mito Stress Test Kit and Glycolysis Stress Test Kit (Agilent) on a Seahorse XFe96 Analyzer (Agilent), according to manufacturer’s instructions. All Seahorse assay data was analyzed using Seahorse Wave v2.6.1 Software (Agilent).

On the day prior to the assay the sensor cartridges from the Seahorse XFe96 FluxPaks (Agilent # 102416) were calibrated according to the manufacturer’s instructions using pre-warmed Seahorse XF Calibrant. E. coli were grown in LB medium overnight to and O.D. 600 of 0.3, washed in PBS and resuspended in Seahorse XF RPMI medium, pH 7.4 (Agilent # 103576) supplemented with 1% glucose. 105, 106 or 107 bacteria were added to XF Cell Culture Microplates (Agilent # 101085-004) precoated with poly-D-lysine and spin down at 2000g for 10 min to attach them to the plate. The wells in the plate were divided to include bacteria treated with TPP (negative control) and 3 concentrations (500, 100 & 20 μM) of C23.28-TPP; 8 technical replicates for each condition. 90 μl of fresh medium was added to each well and 90μl of TPP/prodrug solution was added to each injection port A. Baseline OCR and ECAR were measured for 12 min after which the TPP/prodrug solution was injected into each sample. Readings were taken as pmol/min (OCR) and mpH/min (ECAR) every 6 min for up to 90min. The mean of the 8 technical replicates was plotted for each treatment condition and changes in OCR and ECAR were compared to the control samples.

To analyse the extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) and oxygen consumption rate (OCR) of polarized macrophages, the Seahorse XFe96 FluxPak (Agilent, Waldbronn, Germany) was used as recommended by the manufacturer. CD14+ cells were isolated, and macrophages were polarized as previously described. Macrophages were polarized in the presence of 5, 10, or 50 μM sc1o. After polarization, cells were washed with Seahorse XF RPMI medium pH 7.4 (Agilent, Waldbronn) and incubated for 60 min at 37 °C. OCR and ECAR were measured for a total period of 160 min in the absence of sc1o. Cells were measured as octuplicates with 3 × 104 cells per well with the Seahorse XFe96 Analyser (Agilent, Waldbronn, Germany) and analysed with Wave Software (Agilent, Waldbronn, Germany). Values of vehicle (DMSO)-treated cells were set to 100% and sc1o-treated cells referred to this.

Experiments were performed according to the manufacture’s recommendations (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA). Briefly, 5 × 104 BM-M were seeded per well (6–8 replicates) of an XF96 culture plate (Seahorse XFe96 FluxPak from Agilent) for 1 h at room temperature and then incubated overnight at 37°C with 5% CO2. Cells were treated as described in the results section. Cells were washed with warm PBS and then assay medium (sodium bicarbonate- and Glucose-free DMEM supplemented with sodium pyruvate 1 mM, pH 7.4) was added and the cells were kept for 1 h at 37°C without CO2. The background recording extracellular acidification rates (ECAR, milli pH/min) and oxygen consumption rates (OCR, pmol/min) were measured first. Glucose (25 mm; Sigma), Oligomycin (1,5 µM; Sigma), FCCP (1,5 µM; Sigma), and the mix of 2-deoxyGlucose (50 mM), Antimycin A (1 µM), and Rotenone (1 µM) were injected when indicated. After lysis of the cells with RIPA buffer (Merck) with proteinase inhibitors (Roche complete Protease Inhibitor, Basel, Switzerland) protein concentrations were determined using BCA protein assay from Thermo-Fischer Scientific (Waltham, MA, USA). ECAR and OCR data were normalized to protein concentration and analyzed as described before.21 (link)

All cells were cultivated in the presence of 5 nmol/L silvestrol during the experiment. After differentiation, cells were washed with Seahorse XF RPMI medium pH 7.4 (Agilent), incubated for 60 minutes at 37°C, and OCR and ECAR were measured for a total period of 160 minutes in the absence of silvestrol. Cells were stimulated after 30 minutes. Monocytes were stimulated with 100 ng/mL lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and 20 ng/mL IFN‐γ, macrophages were stimulated with 20 ng/mL IFN‐γ while dendritic cells were stimulated with a Stimulation‐Mix containing 5 ng/mL of human TNF‐α, IL‐6, IL‐1β and 500 ng/mL PGE2. Cells were measured as octuplicates (3 × 104 cells per well) using the Seahorse XFe96 Analyzer (Agilent) and analysed by Wave Software (Agilent).

Oxygen consumption rate (OCR) of the HAP1 cells was quantified on a XF96 extracellular flux analyzer (Seahorse Bioscience) using the Seahorse XF Cell Mito Stress kit (Agilent, catalog number 103015-100) and according to the manufacturer’s protocol. The Seahorse XFe96 FluxPak (Agilent, catalog number 102601-100) and 50,000 HAP1 cells were plated in Seahorse base media (Seahorse XF base medium (Agilent, catalog number 102353-100) in 12 replicates per condition with 1% FCS, 1 mM glutamine (Sigma, catalog number 59202C-100ML) and 2 mM sodium pyruvate (Sigma, catalog number S8636-100ML). Plates were incubated in a CO2-free incubator at 37 °C for 1 h prior to acquisition on the Seahorse machine. Basal respiration (prior to oligomycin addition) and maximal respiration (following FCCP treatment) were calculated by subtracting non-mitochondrial oxygen consumption (values after rotenone & antimycin A addition).

Oxygen consumption rate (OCR) was measured using Seahorse XFe96 analyzer (Agilent, with Wave 2.3/4 software) and the Seahorse XFe96 FluxPak (102416-100, Agilent) according to the manufacturer’s protocols. Briefly, RAW/RAWAlox15 cells were seeded at 2.5 × 105 cells/well and peritoneal macrophages were seeded at 5 × 105 cells/well (and incubated with LPS (100 ng/ml)). Mitochondrial function was assessed using inhibitors (all from Sigma) injected in the following order: oligomycin (1 µM), FCCP (Carbonyl cyanide 4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenylhydrazone, 2 or 4 µM final concentration for peritoneal macrophages or RAW cells, respectively), rotenone (1 µM), antimycin A (10 μM for peritoneal macrophages; 1 µM for RAW/RAWAlox15 cells).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Oxygen consumption rate (OCR) was measured on a Seahorse XFe96 Analyzer with a Seahorse XFe96 FluxPak (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA). Erythroid cells from BM of mice were isolated as previously described (Zhang et al., 2018 (link)). After recovery in IMDM with 10% FBS and 3 U/mL Epo at 37°C for 1 hr, 300,000 cells/well were seeded onto an XF96 cell culture microplate coated with Cell-tak (Corning, Corning, NY) and subjected to seahorse assay according to the protocol of the manufacturer. Three OCR measurements — basal, ATP-linked and maximal respiration — were performed after sequential injections of 1 µM oligomycin, 1 µM FCCP, and 0.5 µM Antimycin A/Rotenone. Five technical replicas from the same sample were performed for OCR measurement. Mitochondrial mass was determined by Mitotracker through flow cytometry analysis. The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content was measured by qPCR as previously described (Liu et al., 2017 (link)). Briefly, after DNA isolation from the purified erythroid cells using a DNeasy Blood and Tissue Kit (Qiagen, Germantown), qPCR with specific primers for mtDNA and genomic DNA (gDNA) (Supplementary file 3a) was performed to measure the ratio of mtDNA versus gDNA using the ΔΔCt method.

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.
