Quantifying HUVEC-Monocyte Adhesion

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Confluent HUVECs cultured in 24‐well plates were incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 gassed incubator for 16 hours with EGM‐2 containing 0.5% FBS for 16 hours and then treated with the indicated concentrations of KP‐10 for 4 hours. Subsequently, human primary monocytes or THP‐1 cells (Health Science Research Resources Bank, Osaka, Japan) were labeled with Cell trace calcein red‐orange (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) with 1×105 cells added to each well of a HUVEC‐seeded 24‐well plate. After 1 hour, cells were washed 4 times, with human primary monocytes or THP‐1 cells bound to HUVECs, and then examined by fluorescence microscopy (IX70; Olympus, Tokyo, Japan). Their adhesion was assessed using image analysis software (ImageJ; National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD).

Casticin Attenuates TNF-α Induced Monocyte-Epithelial Adhesion

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human bronchial epithelial BEAS-2B cells were cultured in DMEM/F12 and seeded into 6-well plates. BEAS-2B cells were pre-treated with casticin (5–20 μM) for 1 h, and then incubated with 10 ng/ml TNF-α for 24 h as described previously (Huang et al., 2016 (link)). Human monocytic THP-1 cells (5 × 106/ml) (Bioresource Collection and Research Center, Taiwan) were incubated with calcein-AM solution (Sigma) for 0.5 h. Next, THP-1 cells were co-cultured with BEAS-2B cells and observed under a fluorescence microscope (Olympus).

Immune Cell Adhesion Assay for BEAS-2B Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
BEAS-2B cells were treated with various doses of HZW or HZE for 1 h and then stimulated with TNF-α/IL-4 for 24 h in 6-well plates as described previously [30 (link), 31 (link)]. THP-1 cells (Bioresource Collection and Research Center, Taiwan) were treated with calcein-AM solution (Catalog No. C1359; Sigma) at 37°C for 30 min, and THP-1 cells were cocultured with BEAS-2B cells at 37°C for 30 min. Finally, THP-1 cells adhered to BEAS-2B cells were measured using fluorescence microscopy (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan).

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.
