Neutrophil NET Formation in P. aeruginosa

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Isolated neutrophils, 25,000/well, were incubated with P. aeruginosa MOI 10 in a glass-bottom 96-well plate (MatTek Corporation, Ashland, MA, USA) precoated with poly-D-lysine 1 mg/mL (Sigma-Aldrich/Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) for 1 or 4 h at 37 °C and 5% CO2, and sterile medium was used as a negative control. As we did not observe any significant difference in NET formation in control conditions (in the absence of P. aeruginosa) between 1 and 4 h (see Supplementary Figure S1B), the control values for 4 h were used for the further analysis.
To study the effect of G-CSF on the capacity of neutrophils to form NETs, neutrophils isolated from the blood of healthy volunteers (n = 5) were challenged with P. aeruginosa MOI 10 in the absence or presence of human G-CSF (Filgrastim HEXAL, Holzkirchen, Germany) at a concentration 10 ng/mL for 4 h.

Visualizing Neutrophil Extracellular Traps

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Isolated neutrophils 15,000/well were incubated with P. aeruginosa (MOI 10) in glass-bottom 96-well plate (MatTek Corporation, Massachusetts, U.S.) pre-coated with poly-D-lysine 1 mg/ml (Sigma-Aldrich/Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) for 4 h at +37°C, 5% CO2, sterile medium was used as a negative control. Samples were fixed with paraformaldehyde (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Massachusetts, U.S.) to the final concentration 4%, permeabilized with Triton X-100 (Sigma-Aldrich/Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) 0.2% containing buffer. Since the visualization of NETs using DNA-intercalating dyes alone has the risk of detection of necrotic cells or the generation of artificial results based on dye-blocking peptides associated with NETs, antibody-based techniques are required to visualize NETs. Antibodies for citrullinated histones detect PAD4-dependent NETosis, but not NETs released through other mechanisms (32 (link)). Therefore, anti-histone 1 antibodies (Merck Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany) were used to detect all NETs. Donkey-anti-mouse-AF564 (Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Massachusetts, U.S.) were used as secondary antibodies. Stainings were mounted with ProLong Gold Antifade Mountant with DAPI (Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Massachusetts, U.S.). Percent of NET-producing cells and NETs length were estimated by microscopy.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
One-hundred microliters of a BSA solution (50 mg/mL) were added to a glass-bottom 96-well plate (MatTek) and left overnight. This incubation solution was discarded before starting the assay. For the phase separation of different constructs of NLRP6 (MBP-NLRP6, MBP-NLRP6-mCherry, MBP-NLRP6 mutants or domain and IDR truncations) and RNA, MBP-NLRP6 (15 μM) was mixed with 60-bp dsRNA (15 μM) either with or without TEV (0.5 mg/mL) added at time 0 to reach a final buffer concentration of Tris-HCl (20 mM), pH 7.4, NaCl (110 mM), TCEP (0.5 mM), and BSA (1 mg/mL). For the phase-separation assay of the in vitro-reconstituted inflammasome, MBP-NLRP6 (15 μM) was mixed with 60-bp dsRNA (15 μM), MBP-ASC-TAMRA (7.5 μM) and caspase-1-mTurquoise2 (7.5 μM), with TEV (0.5 mg/mL) added at time point 0. The final reaction buffer was Tris-HCl (20 mM) at pH 7.4, NaCl (115 mM), BSA (0.32 mg/mL), and TCEP (0.5 mM). The phase-separation assays for the dependency of salt, temperature, and protein/RNA concentrations were undertaken under similar conditions.

Before the phase diagram experiments, we added 50 mg/ml of BSA solution into the glass-bottom 96-well plate (MatTek) for overnight pre-incubation and discarded the BSA before adding the sample. For the phase diagram of MBP-NLRP6 with 60-bp FAM-dsRNA, we created a 6×6 reaction matrix with 6 concentration points of MBP-NLRP6 in X axis (0, 0.47 μM, 0.94 μM, 1.88 μM, 3.75 μM, 7.5 μM) and 6 concentration points of 60-bp FAM-dsRNA in Y axis (0, 0.47 μM, 0.94 μM, 1.88 μM, 3.75 μM, 7.5 μM). The final buffer components were Tris-HCl (20 mM) at pH 7.4, NaCl (156 mM), TCEP (0.6 mM), and BSA (1 mg/mL). The conditions for the phase diagram of MBP-NLRP6 and LTA-TAMRA were similar except that LTA-TAMRA had 6 concentration points of 0, 0.24 μM, 0.47 μM, 0.94 μM, 1.88 μM, 3.75 μM. After adding all the components into the wells, the plate was incubated for 45 minutes at 37 °C. Images were obtained using an ImageXpress Micro Confocal (Molecular Devices) using a 40X objective (S Plan Fluor, NA=0.6)

Tracking Extracellular Vesicle Uptake Dynamics

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were plated in glass bottom 96-well plates (Mattek; Ashland, MA) analyzing 3 wells per condition. For imaging, recipient cells were labeled with the cytoplasmic dye CellTrackerTM Red (1:1000; ThermoFisher, Waltham, MA) and the nuclear dye Hoechst 33342 (Thermofisher). To enable tracking of EV uptake, EVs were labeled with ExoGlow (Systems Biosciences, EXOC300A-1) according to the manufacturer’s instructions, with excess label being removed by resuspending the labeled EV pellet in PBS, followed by repurification with ExoQuick as published previously [20 ,27 ]. Live-cell imaging of EVs was performed 2 h after adding EVs (5.2 × 108) using the UltraViewVoX spinning disk confocal microscope (Eclipse Ti, Nikon, Tokyo, Japan), running Volocity software (Perkin Elmer, Wokingham, UK) as published previously [18 (link),20 ]. The particle analyzer module in ImageJ was used to detect and quantify the EV (green) - CellTracker (red) colocalized particles (yellow), and the number of EVs is expressed as the ratio of internalized experimental EVs when compared to control EVs.
