Gonococcal Neutrophil Infection Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Synchronized Gc-neutrophil infections were carried out at an MOI of 1, and analysis of survival was performed as previously described (Stohl et al., 2005 (link)). In brief, adherent neutrophils were exposed to 10nM human IL-8 (R&D) in RPMI with 10% FBS at 37°C with 5% CO2 for at least 30 min prior to synchronous exposure to Gc. Nonadherent bacteria were removed, and Gc-exposed neutrophils were incubated in RPMI with 10% FBS at 37°C with 5% CO2. As a control, Gc were also incubated in RPMI with 10% FBS in the absence of neutrophils to verify each strain grows similarly under these experimental conditions. At given times, neutrophils were lysed in 1% saponin and serial dilutions of the lysates plated on GCB. CFU/mL was derived from enumerated colonies, and percent survival was calculated by dividing CFU/mL at each time point by CFU/mL at 0 min. For experiments involving the addition of Gc-derived peptidoglycan monomers, 1 µg/mL 1,6-anhydrotripeptide monomer and 1 µg/mL 1,6-anhydrotetrapeptide monomer were added to the medium throughout the infection. These are the predominant PG monomers released by WT Gc (Rosenthal, 1979 (link); Sinha et al., 1980 (link)).

Neutrophil Migration Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human neutrophils were isolated from peripheral blood of healthy adult donors using Cytoselect Cell Migration Assay kit (Cellbiolabs Inc., San Diego, CA). Neutrophils were suspended in HBSS at the concentration of approximately 1.5×106 cells/ml and 300 µl were loaded into the top chamber of a 24-well Boyden chamber plate (Cell Biolabs inc., San Diego, CA). Sterile PBS or a bacterial suspension (1.5×107 CFU/ml) in chemotaxis medium was added to the bottom chamber. In some experiments, the complement inhibitor Futhan (6-amidino-2-naphthyl p-guanidinobenzoate dimethanesulfonate) [34] (link) was added to the bottom chamber at a final concentration of 50 µg/ml. Human IL-8 (100 ng/ml, R&D Systems) or fMLP 10 nM (N-Formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine, 10 nM) (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) were also added to the bottom chamber in some experiments. In some experiments, PBS (vehicle control) or mouse monoclonal anti-human C5a antibody (ab11876, Abcam) dissolved in PBS was added to the bottom chamber at a final concentration of 10 µg/ml. The plates were incubated for two hours at 37°C in tissue culture incubator. The cells that migrated to the bottom chamber were counted using a hemocytometer. Each experiments was repeated with cells from at least 3 different donors.

MIA PaCa-2, SW-1990 and BxPC-3 cells were seeded at 4×105 cells/well in six-well plates containing medium (MIA PaCa-2 and SW-1990 cells were cultured in DMEM and BxPC-3 cells were cultured in RPMI medium) and cultured for 1 day at 37°C. The culture medium was subsequently changed, and the cells were cultured for an additional 72 h at 37°C in the presence of different concentrations of 10Z-Hymenialdisine (0, 1, 2 and 5 µM). After incubation, the culture medium was collected and centrifuged at 400 × g for 5 min at 14°C to remove particles. The supernatants were frozen at −80°C until use. The concentrations of IL-8 and VEGF were determined using human IL-8 (R&D Systems, Inc.; cat. no. D8000C) and human VEGF (R&D Systems, Inc.; cat. no. DVE00) ELISA kits according to the manufacturer's protocol.

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.
