Neutrophil Antifungal Defense Mechanisms

Neutrophils were plated at 5 × 105 cells per well in complete RPMI medum in a 96-well tissue culture plate. Where appropriate, wells were treated with PRT at a concentration of 2 μM. Candida species at an MOI of 10 were coincubated with the neutrophils for 1 h at 37°C. After the incubation, Sytox red (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) was added at a final concentration of 160 nM to detect extracellular DNA. Sytox red fluorescence was read every hour for 18 h at 30°C using a SpectraMax i3x reader, and the results were expressed as arbitrary fluorescence units. Staining for NET histones was carried out as previously described (69 (link)). Briefly, neutrophils were incubated with C. albicans hyphae or C. glabrata and C. auris yeast cells for 3 h. Samples were then stained with anti-histone H3 citrulline R2+R8+R17 (Abcam, Cambridge, MA; 0.014 mg/ml) followed by donkey anti-rabbit IgG Cy3 (Jackson Immunoresearch, West Grove, PA; 0.0075 mg/ml) secondary antibody. Samples were then imaged at ×40 on Nikon Ti-E microscope.

Hearts were embedded in optimal cutting temperature compound (O.C.T.; Sakura® Finetek Japan Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) or in paraffin (Leica Biosystems, Wentzler, Germany). 5 μm thick paraffin sections were used for stained with haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Masson's trichrome staining according to standard procedures.
Immunofluorescent staining was performed to detect neutrophil infiltration (neutrophil elastase and α-actinin, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and NETs formation [anti-histone H3 citrulline R2+R8+R17, and myeloperoxidase (MPO), Abcam]. Co-staining was visualized by fluorescence microscope with 488- and 596-conjugated secondary antibodies (Abcam) mounted with fluoroshield mounting medium with 4ʹ,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI, Abcam).

Neutrophils were cultured with the indicated 10% serum, PMA (25 nM) or the noted reagents in an 8-well chamber slide (Lab-Tek). After incubation for 3 h, they were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, washed three times with PBS, blocked with 5% goat serum for 1 h at room temperature and then incubated in antibody solutions overnight at 4°C. We used the following antibodies: anti-neutrophil elastase (1:200; Merck), anti-LL-37 (1:200; Hycult) and anti-histone H3 (citrulline R2 + R8 + R17; 1:200; Abcam) antibodies. Samples were washed three times and then incubated for 1 h at room temperature with the following secondary antibodies: Alexa Fluor 488- and Alexa Fluor 546-conjugated anti-mouse and rabbit IgG, respectively. All samples were mounted with VECTASHIELD Mounting Medium including DAPI (Vector Lab). Immunofluorescent images were obtained using a confocal laser microscope (Fluoview3000; Olympus).

After sperm prep, samples were dried onto VWR Superfrost Plus Micro Slides (48311–703), fixed for 10 minutes in 4% paraformaldehyde solution, washed 3x with PBS, and permeabilized for 10 min with 0.1% triton in PBS. Blocking was performed with 10% BSA in PBS for 1 hour at room temperature in a humidified chamber. Staining with primary antibody, Anti-Histone H3 (citrulline R2 + R8 + R17 (Abcam ab5103), was performed for 2 hours at room temperature in 1% BSA PBSt at a concentration of 1:250 in a humidified chamber. Primary antibody was decanted and slides washed three times with PBS for 5 minutes each. Goat anti-Rabbit 488 secondary antibody (Invitrogen A11008) was performed for 1 hour at room temperature at a concentration of 1:500 in a humidified chamber. Secondary antibody was decanted and slides washed three times with PBS for 5 minutes each followed by VECTASHIELD Antifade Mounting Medium with DAPI (Vector Labs H-1200), sealing coverslip, and imaging on the Zeiss Axioskop 2 Plus. All studies were repeated with at least two distinct sperm samples. Exposures for different sperm preps were captured using identical light intensity and exposure times, set to enable visualization of cell-free DNA in DAPI images, and set just below saturation for cit-H3 images. Note that secondary alone controls for cit-H3 were clean (not shown).

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.
