Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cr strain, DBS100 (ATCC) was used for scRNA-seq experiments. For flow cytometry analysis and to track Crin situ, we used a strain of Cr expressing GFP61 (link) (derived from DBS100; provided by B. A. Vallance). For whole-body imaging experiments, we used the bioluminescent Cr strain ICC18062 (derived from DBS100; generously provided by G. Frankel and S. Wiles). A fresh, single colony was grown in 10 ml LB at 37 °C with rotation at 225 rpm for 12–14 h. Next day, 1 ml of overnight culture was added to 250 ml LB broth, incubated at 37 °C with rotation (225 rpm) for 3–3.5 h until OD600 reached 1.0 on spectrophotometer. Bacteria were pelleted at 25 °C, 3,000 rpm for 15 min and then resuspended in 5 ml sterile PBS. Mice were inoculated with 2 × 109 CFU in a total volume of 100 µl of PBS by gastric gavage.

Sex matched, 8 to 10 week old mice, fasting for 8 hr, were orally gavaged with 1.2 × 1010 cfu of C. rodentium strain DBS100 (ATCC 51459). In certain instances, mice were intraperitoneally injected with 200 μg of murine LTβR-IgG1 fusion protein or MOPC21 isotype control (Biogen Idec) 1 day prior to infection, as described (Wang et al., 2010 (link)). IECs, isolated following published procedure (Greten et al., 2004 (link)), were utilized for biochemical analyses. For histology, dissected colons were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin. Paraffin-embedded tissue sections were stained with anti-myeloperoxidase antibody (Pierce, Waltham, Massachusetts, USA) for neutrophil recruitment or with Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) for tissue pathology evaluation. Fecal samples were weighed, homogenized, and serially diluted homogenates were plated on MacConkey agar (HiMedia, Mumbai, India) to score for C. rodentium. Similarly, spleens and livers were aseptically removed and assessed for bacterial load. For bone marrow chimera experiment, recipient WT or Nfkb2−/− mice were lethally irradiated and marrow cells from the indicated donor mice were transferred. After 6–8 weeks, mice were infected.

Bone marrow (BM) cells were isolated by flushing the long bones with PBS. BM-derived GM-CSF DC cultures were grown in 24 well plates as previously described57 (link) in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 40 pg/ml recombinant GM-CSF (BioLegend) and 5% FBS, plus 100 μg/ml penicillin, 100 μg/ml streptomycin, 2 mM L-glutamine, 10 mM HEPES, 1 nM sodium pyruvate, 1× MEM nonessential amino acids, and 2.5 μM β-mercaptoethanol (all Sigma). After 5 days of culture, BMDCs were harvested and replated with MOI (multiplicity of infection) =10 of Citrobacter rodentium (DBS100, ATCC) or incubated with 5 μg/ml of the 2’3’-cGAMP (cyclic [G(2’,5’)pA(3’,5’)p]) (Invivogen). For infection, bacteria were grown to exponential phase in lysogeny broth (LB) medium, then washed and resuspended in PBS.
Two hours post-treatment, culture medium was removed and cells resuspended in 1 ml of TRIzol Reagent (Life Technologies).

Acute Intestinal Inflammation Induction with GFP-C. rodentium

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Green fluorescent protein-labeled C. rodentium DBS100 (ATCC 51459) was used to incite acute inflammation. The bacterium was grown aerobically on lysogeny broth agar (LA) with 30 µg/ml chloramphenicol at 37°C for 24 h. To differentiate GFP-labeled C. rodentium from nonlabeled C. rodentium, a chloramphenicol resistance gene was incorporated into the genome, which required chloramphenicol to be used for growth and isolation techniques. Biomass was removed from the surface of the agar and transferred into sterile lysogeny broth (LB) containing 15 µg/ml chloramphenicol (Sigma-Aldrich). Cultures were maintained for 2 h at 37°C at 100 rpm until an optical density at 600 nm (OD600) of >0.1 was obtained. Cultures were centrifuged at 2,256 × g for 15 min, supernatants were removed, and C. rodentium cells were resuspended in 3.0 ml PBS. To confirm densities of viable cells, inoculum was diluted in a 10-fold dilution series and 100 µl of each dilution was spread in duplicate onto LA. Cultures were incubated at 37°C, and the number of C. rodentium colonies was counted at the dilution yielding 30 to 300 CFU after 24 h. Cell densities were adjusted to 3 × 109 CFU/ml with PBS. For each replicate, 12 mice were administered C. rodentium cells and PBS (100 µl) or PBS alone (100 µl) via gavage on two consecutive days using a 22-gauge-by-2.5-cm-long gavage needle with a 1.25-mm ball tip.

Oral Infection of Mice with C. rodentium

8–12-week-old age- and sex-matched mice were orally administered 1×1010 CFU C. rodentium (DBS100, ATCC). Body weight was measured until day 10. Feces were collected on days 8 and 10 for CFU counting. Briefly, feces were weighed, homogenized, and serially diluted up to 10−6 in sterile PBS. Three consecutive dilutions per sampled were plated on MacConkey agar plates and incubated at 37 degrees C. Colonies were then counted and counts for three dilutions were averaged and normalized to feces weight.

Mice were infected with 1 × 109 colony-forming units (CFUs)/mouse of the CR strain DBS 100 (ATCC 51459) to cause bacterial colitis. Briefly, the sterile Luria–Bertani medium was injected into a single CR colony grown on a fresh MacConkey agar plate (Solarbio, Beijing, China) and shaken overnight at 37 °C [21 (link)]. Mice were infected after three weeks of being fed a chow diet.

Isolation and Characterization of C. rodentium

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Citrobacter rodentium DBS100 was purchased from ATCC. C. rodentium isolates from iron fed mice infected with the parental strain were obtained by isolating fresh fecal pellets from mice at ~35 days postinfection (~3 weeks post withdrawal of iron diet) to one year post infection and homogenized in sterile PBS. Homogenates were diluted and plated on sterile Macconkey agar plates and incubated overnight at 37°C. The next day, fresh LB media was inoculated with individual colonies. Cultures were grown at 37°C, shaking overnight. Glycerol stocks were then made from the cultures. Colonies were confirmed to be C. rodentium by 16S rRNA PCR and sequencing of the product from the 5’ and 3’ ends as well as whole genome sequencing.

Citrobacter rodentium Mouse Model

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Citrobacter rodentium strain DBS100 was purchased from ATCC and used for all inoculations. 6–8-weeks old mice were orally gavaged with approximately 1–2 × 109 CFU in a total volume of 200 µl of PBS. To assess bacterial burdens, feces and tissues (first 0.5 Cm of distal colon and spleen) in PBS were homogenized with Lysing Matrix D (MP Biomedicals) using Precellys homogenizer. Serially diluted homogenates were then plated on MacConkey agar (HiMedia Laboratories). For histology scoring, the second 0.5 cm pieces of distal colon were fixed in 10% formalin, stained with hematoxylin and eosin, and scored as described previously (http://www.jove.com/video/50222/the-citrobacter-rodentium-mouse-model-studyingpathogen-host). To measure cytokine levels, the third 0.5 cm of distal colon was homogenized as described above in RLT lysis buffer of RNeasy Kit (Qiagen).

The naturally streptomycin-resistant wild type strain S. enterica serovar Typhimurium SL1344 [47] (link), a generous gift from Prof. Mikael Rhen was used in this study. Naturally occurring naldixic acid-resistant Citrobacter rodentium, DBS100 (ATCC 51459) was also used for mouse infection. Prior to inoculation into host mice, strain SL1344 and C. rodentium were grown overnight at 37°C in Luria-Bertani (LB) broth, diluted 1∶20 in fresh medium, and sub-cultured for 3–4 h under mild aeration until an optical density of 0.4 to 0.6 at 600 nm was reached. Bacteria were washed twice in cold PBS and then suspended in cold PBS for mouse inoculation.
The cecum and spleen from post-sacrifice mice were collected in 1 mL of sterile PBS. Samples were kept on ice, minced, and homogenized. Serial dilutions of the homogenates were plated on LB agar plates supplemented with 100 µg/mL streptomycin to enumerate S. Typhimurium. Plates were incubated overnight at 37°C, and colonies were counted thereafter.

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.
