Skin samples were placed in 0.25% dispase II (Roche, Switzerland) solution at 4 °C for 16 h. The epidermis and dermis were separated by forceps. The epidermis was cut and put into 0.25% trypsin and 0.02% EDTA digestion (Beyotime), and the cells were cultured in the defined keratinocyte-SFM (Gibco, New York, USA) for 5 days to get primary keratinocytes. The dermis was cut into small pieces and cultured in Dulbecco’s modified eagle medium (Gibco) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (Sciencell), 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Beyotime) for 7 days to get primary fibroblast. Cells were cultured with recombinant human TNF-α protein (Abcam) for 12 h, cells cultured with medium provided a control group. Culture supernatants were collected to measure the levels of cytokines secreted by keratinocytes and fibroblast. The levels of CXCL8 (Raybiotech, Georgia, USA), CCL20 (Abcam), IL-6 (Invitrogen), IL-1B (Abcam), and IL-17B (Novus Biologicals, Colorado, USA) were determined by ELISA according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

The membrane was blocked with 5% skimmed milk at 37°C for 2 h, and primary antibodies rabbit anti-rat polyclonal cleaved caspase-1 (1:1,000; cat. no. ab1872; Abcam), monoclonal NLRP3 (1:1,000; cat. no. ab210491; Abcam), polyclonal Gasdermin D (GSDMD; 1:1,000; cat. no. ab219800; Abcam), polyclonal IL-1b (1:1,000; cat. no. K107559P; Beijing Solarbio Science & Technology Co., Ltd.) and polyclonal IL-18 (1:1,000; cat. no. K002143P; Beijing Solarbio Science & Technology Co., Ltd.) were applied at 4°C overnight, followed by incubation with a horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody (1:2,000; cat. no. sc-2004; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.) at 25°C for 1 h. Protein bands in each treatment group were detected using an enhanced chemiluminescence western blot detection system ImageJ 1.48u software (National Institutes of Health). β-actin (1:2,000; cat. no. sc-47778; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.) was used as an internal reference (20 (link)).

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.
