BMDCs from the mice were extracted and cultured as previously described 26 (link). Briefly, 5×105 BMDCs were stimulated using lipopolysaccharides (LPS) (1 μg/mL, Sigma-Aldrich) and bile acids (10 µM, Sigma-Aldrich) or INT-747(100 µM, MedChem Express, USA) or INT-777 (100 µM, MedChem Express) for 24 h.
Mice CD4+ T cells were isolated using mouse CD4 microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) and cocultured with BMDCs pretreated with LCA or INT-777 at a ratio of 5:1 (CD4+ T cells: BMDCs) for 5 days.
Human CD14+ monocytes in PBMCs were isolated using Human CD14 microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec). CD14+ monocytes were incubated with 50 ng/mL IL-4 (AcroBiosystems, Newark, NJ, USA) and 100 ng/mL GM-CSF (AcroBiosystems) to induce DC maturation. 7 days later, 5×105 MD-DCs were treated with 100 ng/ml LPS and 10 µM LCA or 100 µM INT-777 for 24 h.

Bile Acid Administration in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
BAs, INT-747 and INT-777 (MedChemExpress, Monmouth Junction, NJ), were dissolved in DMSO to a stock concentration of 1 mM. For in vivo study, BAs were dissolved by adding each solvent sequentially: 10% DMSO, >90% corn oil for oral administration, and 5% DMSO >95% PBS for i.v. administration. Mice received oral gavage of 0.6-mg BAs once daily (~30 mg/kg) dissolved in a 200-μl vehicle (Hang et al., 2019 (link)), or i.v. injections of 80-μg LCA through tail vein every other day (~4 mg/kg) in 100 μl vehicle.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
INT-777 or vehicle was given by intranasal administration at 1 h after SAH as previously described (Sun et al. 2019 ). Briefly, animals were anesthetized under 2% isoflurane and placed in a supine position. A total volume of 30 μL vehicle (10% dimethyl sulfide) or INT-777 (MedChem Express, NJ, USA) at three different doses (10 μg/kg, 30 μg/kg, and 90 μg/kg) were administered into the right and left nares, alternating 10 μL in one naris per 5 minutes. H89 was diluted in 10% dimethyl sulfide (DMSO) and was administrated by intraperitoneally (i.p.) at 1 h before SAH.

Intranasal drug administration was performed at 1 h after SAH as previously described [35 (link)]. Animals were placed in a supine position with 2% isoflurane anesthesia. A total volume of 30 μL vehicle (10% dimethyl sulfide) or INT-777 (MedChem Express, NJ, USA) at three different doses (10 μg/kg, 30 μg/kg, and 90 μg/kg) were administered into the left and right nares, alternating 10 μL in one naris every 5 minutes for a period of 15 minutes.

For single intrathecal injection, direct transcutaneous intrathecal injection was performed following previous work.28, 29 Briefly, a 25‐Ga 3 10 needle connected to a Hamilton syringe was inserted into the tissues between the dorsal aspects of L5 and L6 of mice, perpendicular to the vertebral column. The injection was considered successful if a tail flick was observed immediately. Then, 5 μL INT‐777, INT‐747, bicuculline SBI‐115, or Z‐guggulsterone (all the above drugs were purchased from MedChemExpress) was administered. For repetitive INT‐777 injection, the drug was injected intrathecally via a polyethylene 10 (PE‐10) tube, the tip of which was placed on the spinal lumbar enlargement level 1 week before. Whether the tube was correctly placed in the intervertebral space was confirmed by paralysis in the bilateral hind limb after a 2% lidocaine injection (3 μL) through the catheter within 30 s.

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.
