Intra-articular Cytokine Administration

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the administration of cytokines, a volume of 5 μl containing 10 ng of recombinant murine IL-1β (R&D Systems) [15 (link)] in PBS or 5 μl of collagenase type IV (Worthington Biochemical Corp., Lakewood, NJ, USA) was administered by IA injection into the right knees as previously described [20 (link)]. Briefly, the region of the knee joint was shaved and disinfected. The joint was flexed at 90 degrees to provide access to the joint cavity at the lower pole of the patella. The injection was performed by puncturing the knee joint laterally from the patellar ligament using a 32-gauge microneedle (Hamilton AG, Bonaduz, Switzerland). The left knee joint was treated with the same volume of PBS to serve as a control. After the procedure, the animals were left for 48 h prior to IV injection of SFs to incubate the cartilage with the corresponding cytokine/PBS. For all IA injections, a stereomicroscope was used (Stemi 2000-C; Carl Zeiss Microscopy, Oberkochen, Germany).

In 96-well cell culture plates, 1 ng/ml of recombinant murine IL-1β (R&D Systems), IL-6 (Peprotech), IL-23 (R&D Systems), and IL-12p70 (Peprotech) were incubated with OMVs (1 and 10 μg/ml) in 200 μl/well RPMI 1640 complete medium for 24 h at 37°C in humidified aerobic conditions (5% CO2). BMDCs were stimulated with 100 ng/ml Pam3CSK4 for 24 h at 37°C. Culture supernatants of Pam3CSK4-treated BMDCs were incubated with T. denticola OMVs in the presence or absence of 2 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF, Thermo Fisher Scientific), a serine protease inhibitor, for 1 h. In addition, T. denticola OMVs were heated at 95°C for 10 min and incubated with culture supernatants of Pam3CSK4-treated BMDCs for 1 h. The levels of the remaining cytokines in the medium or culture supernatants were measured by ELISA.

A monoclonal antibody to IL-1β (R&D systems) was diluted to 2 μg/ml in carbonate buffer and dispensed in 96-well Maxisorb Immunoplates (Nunc, Roskilde, Denmark) overnight. Samples were added for one hour, followed by the secondary antibody (a biotinylated goat anti-mouse IL-1β (R&D systems)). Extravidin-alkaline phosphatase (1:1,000, Sigma) was added for 1 hour after which 1 mg/ml 4-nitrophenyl phosphate substrate (Sigma) was added. After 20 minutes, plates were read at 450 nM and results were calculated by reference to a standard curve of recombinant murine IL-1β (R&D systems).

Murine IL-1β Signaling in Neurons and Astrocytes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were treated with recombinant murine IL-1β (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) for either 24 or 48 h in an incubation buffer of MS for mixed cultures and NB for neurons both supplemented with the vehicle, 0.1% fatty-acid-free bovine serum albumin (BSA) (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA). As both neurons and astrocytes have functional IL-1R1 receptors, higher concentrations for the mixed cultures were utilized to ensure optimal signaling (Birgit Fogal and Sandra J Hewett, unpublished observations).

To assess the effect of FTY720 treatment on plasma cell accumulation and expansion, mice were intra-peritoneally (i.p.) administered with PBS or 100ug FTY720 (Millipore Sigma). At start of the experiment, mice were orally treated with mifepristone (RU486) as described above, with i.p. treatment of PBS or FTY720. Subsequently, PBS or FTY720 dosing was continued every second day till end of the experiment on Day 9.
Salmonella typhimurium wildtype strain SB300A1[18 , 49 (link)] were grown with shaking overnight at 37 °C in Luria-Bertani (LB) broth, sub-cultured for 4 h, and washed twice with cold PBS prior to use. For oral Salmonella infections, mice were deprived of food for 4 h and gavaged orally with 5 X 107 CFU of bacteria in 200μl PBS. Mice were kept without food and water for 1 h after infection. The final infection dose was verified by plating serial dilutions of the bacterial suspension on LB agar plates.
To inhibit GAPs using IL-1β treatment, mice were treated i.p. with 100 ng of recombinant murine IL-1β (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN). At start of the experiment, mice were orally treated with mifepristone (RU486) as described above for 4 consecutive days. On day zero, MyD88f/f and MyD88f/f Math1Cre*PR mice were treated with IL-1β or PBS, concomitantly with RU486.

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.
