OMV-induced LDH Release in Porcine Alveolar Macrophages

AMac isolated from five pigs were tested for LDH release after stimulation with 1 μg each of Nagasaki liquid OMV, Nagasaki plate OMV, Nagasaki liquid sonicate, D74 liquid OMV and 10 μg E. coli 0111:B4 LPS (Invitrogen) LPS as a control. Purified OMV, whole cell sonicate or LPS were resuspended in room temperature supplemented media (RPMI 1640, 5% swine sera, 5mM HEPES, 1mM l-glutamine) at indicated concentrations. The supernatant was removed from AMac previously seeded into 48-well plates, and 500 μl of media with appropriate sample (OMV, sonicate, LPS) was added to the wells. Cells were incubated at 37°C, 5% CO2 for 18 h, supernatants were collected and clarified (200 × g, 5 minutes). A lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay (CytoTox 96 Non-Radioactive Cytotoxicity Assay, Promega) was performed according to manufacturer’s instructions. Background LDH release was measured in medium from cells stimulated with only media, while total LDH release (= 100% cytotoxicity) was measured from unstimulated cells that were lysed by freezing and thawing. The percentage of LDH release was calculated by subtracting the background LDH release value from the LDH release value of the treated cells, and this number was then divided by the total LDH release value and multiplied by 100.

Transcriptional Profiling of Immune Cells

AMac were stimulated with purified OMV (1 μg), whole cell sonicate (1 μg), live H. parasuis (MOI 2:1) or E. coli 0111:B4 LPS (10 μg/ml) (Invitrogen). After 18 h incubation, media was collected and cells were lysed on the culture plate with TRI reagent (Ambion). RNA was isolated using a MagMax Express (Life Technologies) and cDNA was synthesized using a SuperScript VILO cDNA kit (Invitrogen). SYBR Green-based real-time PCR was conducted for various mRNA targets using SYBR Green Master mix (Life Technologies) following manufacturers’ protocol. All samples were run in duplicate. Levels of mRNA were calculated using the threshold cycle 2-ΔΔCt method, which expresses mRNA in treated cells relative to non-stimulated cells after normalizing to β-actin [54 (link)]. Primers used were previously reported [55 (link)] and PCR products were < 100 bp in size.

This experiment
was performed following a previously published protocol.51 (link) Briefly, hPBMCs were freshly isolated and seeded
in 24-well plates for 3 h [1 × 106 cells in 1 mL of
Roswell Park Memorial Institute medium (Gibco)]. To these wells, 20
ng/mL of E. coli 0111:B4 LPS (Molecular
Probes, Life Technologies, USA) was added in the presence or absence
of NCK-10 (10 μg/mL). Hanks’ balanced salt solution and
only NCK-10 were also added as controls. After incubation for 18–24
h, ELISA was performed on the cell culture supernatants for cytokines
TNF-α and IL-6. ELISA kit was bought from BD Biosciences, and
manufacturer’s instructions were followed for the experiment.

for the preparation of the compounds have been described in previous
publications.38 (link) Colistin was bought from
Sigma-Aldrich (Bangalore, India). All lipids were purchased from Avanti
Polar Lipids (Alabaster, AL, USA). Escherichia coli BODIPY-LPS [BODIPYFL (503/513)] and E. coli 0111:B4 LPS were obtained from Molecular Probes, Life Technologies,
USA. P. aeruginosa strain PA R590 was
acquired from the Department of Neuromicrobiology, National Institute

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.
