Microglia-Neuron Interactions in Hemoglobin-Induced Toxicity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary microglia were prepared from postnatal day 1 C57BL/6J mice as previously reported [13 (link)]. Primary neurons were prepared from a day 15 embryonic cortex obtained from the pregnant C57BL/6J mice as previously reported [17 (link)]. All experiments were carried out 24 h after cells were seeded. The cells were treated with hemoglobin (Hb) (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) diluted in culture medium or combined with SP600125 (Abcam, Cambridge, USA) diluted in DMSO for 24 h. The vehicle was used as the control. The supernatants were removed and replaced with fresh DMEM for another 24 h. Then, microglia were collected for assays. The conditioned medium of microglia was collected and added to neurons which were cultured in DMEM/F12 supplemented with 10% FBS for 24 h. Then, the cells were harvested for experiments.

Rat Cortex Neuron Culture and SAH Model

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the neuron culture, the cortex was obtained from rats at embryonic day 13–15 as we previously reported [24 ,25 (link),26 (link)]. In brief, after removing leptomeninges, the cerebral cortex was digested with Trypsin. Then we used fetal bovine serum to stop the digestion and repeatedly triturated the neuron suspension. After filtration and centrifugation, the remaining neurons were seeded in poly-D-lysine-coated plates with neurobasal medium and incubated at 37 °C and 5% CO2. The medium contained 0.5 mM GlutaMax (Gibco Company, New York, NY, USA) and 2% B27 supplement (Gibco Company, USA). We would replace the medium at 4 h, 3 d, 5 d, and 7 d following seeding. For the in vitro SAH model, neurons were treated with hemoglobin (Hb, Sigma, Saint Louis, MO, USA) at a concentration of 25 μM for 24 h. Primary neurons were randomly assigned to different groups.

The bacterial strains and plasmids used in this work are indicated in Table 1. E. coli strains were cultured in Luria-Bertani (LB) medium at 37°C. C. violaceum strains were cultured in LB medium or M9 minimal medium supplemented with 0.1% casein hydrolysate (M9CH) at 37°C (Batista et al., 2019 (link)). The cultures were supplemented with kanamycin (50 μg/mL), tetracycline (10 µg/mL), or ampicillin (100 μg/mL), when necessary. Iron deficiency was obtained by the addition of 2,2’-dipyridyl (DP) (Sigma) to the medium, while iron sufficiency was achieved by supplementation with FeSO4 (Sigma), hemin (Hm) (Sigma), or hemoglobin (Hb) (Sigma).

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.
