The lungs were removed, and single cells were isolated by enzymatic digestion with 1 mg/ml collagenase A (Roche, Indianapolis, IN) and 20 U/ml DNaseI (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) in RPMI 1640 containing 10% FCS. Tissues were further dispersed through an 18-gauge needle (10-ml syringe) and filtered through 100-μm nylon mesh twice. Cells were centrifuged, washed, and cultured in complete medium composed of Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (Mediatech, Inc.) supplemented with 15% fetal calf serum, 1% L-glutamine, and 100 U/ml penicillin, streptomycin, and fungizone (Cambrex, Walkersville, MD). Cells were used for experiments after one passage. For restimulation, lung fibroblasts were seeded after one passage into a 96 well plate. Lung fibroblasts were restimulated with a cocktail recombinant murine IL-4 (10 ng/ ml;R&D Systems, Minneapolis, USA), recombinant murine IL-13 (10 ng/ml;R&D Systems, Minneapolis, USA), recombinant murine TNFa (5 ng/ml;R&D Systems, Minneapolis, USA) and recombinant human TGFb (10 ng/ml;R&D Systems, Minneapolis, USA) for 24 h for gene expression analysis.

Primary murine tracheal epithelial cells (MTBEC) were isolated from B62 mice (obtained from Charles River Laboratories) as previously described.22 (link) For analysis of expression of Th2 cytokines, cells were plated onto collagen (BD Biosciences)–coated coverslips and maintained in MTEC Plus culture medium as described previously.22 (link) Cells were grown until confluent and then exposed to chitosan-coated empty (E) or CaMKIIN (CN) loaded NPs (25, 50 or 100 µg) with recombinant murine IL-13 (10 ng/ml, R&D Systems) for 14 days. RNA was isolated as stated below.

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.
