Whole blood samples collected in anticoagulant treated tubes (450472, Greiner Bio-one) at necropsy were centrifuged at 2000g for 10 minutes at 4°C, and the resulting supernatant (serum) was collected for downstream analyses. Amylase activity in these mouse serum samples was measured commercially by IDEXX Bioanalytics using optimized protocol.
Trypsin enzymatic activity was measured from pancreas homogenates using trypsin activity assay kit (3043, Chondrex Inc.) following manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, small pancreatic tissue pieces (25–30 mg) were washed in PBS, homogenized in 1× RIPA lysis buffer (ab156034, Abcam), and centrifuged at 13,000g for 10 minutes at 4°C. The total protein concentration from the collected supernatant was measured by BCA analysis (23225, Pierce Biotechnology), which was then used for the trypsin activity assay.
Neutrophil infiltration in the pancreas and lungs was quantified by measuring the MPO activity in the tissues utilizing the MPO Activity Assay Kit (K747, BioVision). For this assay, tissue samples (~20 mg) washed in PBS were homogenized in 500 μL of MPO Assay Buffer at 10,000g for 10 minutes at 4°C. Concentration of total protein from the collected supernatant was estimated by BCA analysis (23225, Pierce Biotechnology) and then utilized to measure MPO activity following manufacturer protocol.

Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is the functional and activating marker of neutrophils, and its level and activity change represent the function and active state of neutrophil polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN). The lung tissues were collected to measure MPO activity according to the manufacturer's instructions of the MPO Activity Assay Kit (K747-100, BioVision (Milpitas, CA, USA).

Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), myeloperoxidase (MPO), and catalase (CAT) activities and the malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration were measured using an ALT activity assay kit, AST activity assay kit, MPO activity assay kit, catalase assay kit, and lipid peroxidation (MDA) assay kit (Biovision, Milpitas, CA, USA). Ammonia concentration was measured using an ammonia assay kit (Abcam, Cambridge, UK).

Mice were anesthetized with isoflurane by using the anesthesia system (R550, RWD Life Science) and euthanized with overdose CO2. The analysis of immune cell infiltration and MPO (myeloperoxidase) activities was performed as described [31 (link)]. Briefly, CD45+ lymphocytes and neutrophils (CD45+CD11b+Ly-6G+Ly-6Cmed) in BAL (bronchoalveolar lavage) were measured by flow cytometry. The MPO activity was determined by the MPO Activity Assay Kit (Abcam). HE (hematoxylin and eosin) staining of the lung tissue was performed as described [8 (link), 31 (link)].

After 24 hours of reperfusion, venous blood from mice was collected through the posterior orbital venous plexus to determine the serum troponin T level using an ELISA kit for troponin T (Mito Sciences). Next, the mice heart tissues were harvested to detect IFN‐γ (ab252352; Abcam), TNF‐α (ab208348; Abcam), IL‐4 (ab221833; Abcam) and IL‐13 (ab219634; Abcam) protein levels using an ELISA kit. The myeloperoxidase (MPO) level was detected using an MPO activity assay kit (ab105136; Abcam).

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.
