Macrophage Differentiation and Co-culture

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For in vitro experiments on human peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC)-derived macrophages, human peripheral blood was obtained from allergic rhinitis patients. Patient blood was diluted in PBS and centrifuged with Ficoll-Paque PLUS (Sigma-Aldrich). PBMCs were isolated and differentiated using 50 ng/ml human recombinant M-CSF (R&D Systems). All patients provided written informed consent, and the study was approved by the Seoul National University Hospital Institutional Review Committee (1610-062-799).
The murine AM cell line MH-S (ATCC, USA) was seeded under the same conditions and stimulated with 20 ng/ml recombinant IL-13 (R&D Systems), with or without hUC-MSCs. In addition, a transwell assay was performed using Transwell Permeable Support (Costar). In macrophage in vitro experiments, 1 × 105 macrophages were co-cultured with 1 × 104 hUC-MSCs.

HREC Migration Assay using Boyden Chamber

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Migration of HRECs was determined using a modified Boyden chamber containing polycarbonate membranes (Transwell, 8-μm pore size; Corning) coated with 10 μg/mL of collagen for 1 hr at 37°C. Starved HRECs were seeded into the upper chamber at 2 × 104 cells/insert in medium containing recombinant POSTN (R&D Systems) or recombinant IL-13 (50 ng/mL; R&D Systems). The lower chamber was filled with medium without serum and growth factors. After 16 hr of incubation at 37°C, non-migrated cells on the upper surface of the membrane were removed by gentle scraping with cotton swabs, and the migrated cells on the lower surface of the membrane were stained with Hoechst 33342 (Molecular Probes). Three photographs were taken of each insert at randomly selected sites with a fluorescence microscope (BZ-9000; Keyence). The number of migrated cells was counted using Adobe Photoshop CS6.

Gremlin-1 and Collagen Regulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Healthy dermal fibroblasts were culture in standard six well plates until confluent. Media was removed and replaced with media containing recombinant IL-13 100 ng/ml (R&D Systems, United Kingdom) at which we have previously demonstrated to give a robust increase in collagen at both mRNA and protein levels in fibroblasts (O’Reilly et al., 2016 ). After 24 and 48 h cells were lysed and Gremlin-1 quantified by qRT-PCR. At 24 h Col1A1 was also quantified by qRT-PCR.

Type I subset and M2 macrophages were polarized as described previously (29 (link)). Primary BMDM macrophages were polarized toward the M1 phenotype with recombinant IFN-γ (100 U/ml, R&D Systems 485-ML) and/or LPS (100 ng/ml, L6529; strain 055:B5; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) or toward the M2 phenotype with recombinant IL-4 (R&D Systems 404-ML) or recombinant IL-13 (R&D Systems 413-ML) (10 ng/ml) for the specified times under normal culture conditions. Unpolarized cells (M0) served as controls. BMDMs were washed with PBS and harvested for total RNA isolation.

Polarization of Inflammatory and Anti-Inflammatory Macrophages

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For inflammatory macrophage (M1) differentiation, MФ were stimulated with 100 ng/mL LPS and 100 ng/mL recombinant IFN‐γ (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) for 24 hours. To generate anti‐inflammatory macrophages (M2), MФ were stimulated with 100 ng/mL recombinant IL‐4 (R&D Systems), 20ng/mL recombinant IL‐10 (R&D Systems) and 100 ng/mL recombinant IL‐13 (R&D Systems) for 24 hours. Polarized cells were identified by flow cytometry with myeloid and lymphoid immunophenotyping panels. Primary antibodies used in the flow cytometry analysis are as follows: CD11b (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA), CD206 (BD Biosciences) and F4/80 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Data were collected using a BD LSRFortessa analyser and analysed using FlowJo 10.0 software.

Isolation and Culture of Murine Keratinocytes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Body wall skin from neonatal mice was incubated overnight at 4 °C in 5 U ml−1 Dispase (BD) solution supplemented with 1 × antibiotic and antimycotic solution (Sigma). The epidermis was isolated and further digested in TrypLE Express solution supplemented with 200 μg ml−1 DNAse I and DNAse buffer. Cell suspensions were filtered, resuspended in defined KC serum-free medium with supplements (Life)+1 × antibiotic–antimycotic solution. KCs were seeded at an appropriate cell density onto tissue culture vessels coated with rat-tail-derived-collagen I (Sigma). Culture vessels were washed with PBS 24 h following seeding to remove unattached cells, and provided with fresh medium±20 ng ml−1 recombinant IL-13 (R&D). For extraction of KCs, cell culture vessels were treated with trypsin and KC RNA was subsequently extracted using the RNEasy Mini kit (Qiagen).

Isolating and Polarizing Mouse Macrophages

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mouse macrophages were isolated from bone marrow, as described before [37 (link)]. Marrow from male, 12 week-old BALB/C mice was flushed out with PBS containing 20mmol/l Tris and 100mmol/l NaCl (pH 7.5) through a 23-gauge needle. Cells were pre-treated with FITC-conjugated F4/80 antibody (Becton-Dickinson Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) and then sorted for F4/80+ cells by flow cytometry. Purified F4/80+ macrophages were cultured in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium/F12 (DMEM/F12; Invitrogen, St. Louis, MO, USA) suppled with 10mmol/l L-glutamine, 100U/ml penicillin, 100µg/ml streptomycin and 100U/ml recombinant M-CSF (R&D Systems). For induction of macrophage polarization in vitro by IL-13, cultured macrophages were treated with recombinant IL-13 (R&D Systems, cat. no. 413-M) at a concentration of 20 U/ml and incubate overnight.

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.
