Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RAW 264.7 cell line was purchased from ATCC. Murine bone marrow macrophages (BMM) were collected from the tibia of normal mice. BMMs and RAW cells were cultured in a -MEM/10% FBS with 1% gentamycin. RAW cells were grown on 60.8 cm2 plates, and passed when cells reached 75% confluence. RAW cells were kept under 30 passages for the experiment. BMMs were cultured and used once. For osteoclast differentiation, cells were seeded at a density of 1 x 10^4 cells/ well in 6-well plates. RAW cells were differentiated into osteoclasts in the presence of RANKL (100 ng/ml) for 4-5 days to generate osteoclasts. Osteoclast formation with BMMs were accomplished with RANKL (100 ng/ml) and M-CSF (50 ng/ml) addition to the culture medium for 4-5 days. Cells were fixed with acetone and stained for tartrate resistant acid phosphatase TRAP per manufacturer’s instructions. TRAP positive cells containing more than three or more nuclei were counted as osteoclasts.

Murine RAW 264.7 Macrophage Activation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The murine BALB/c derived RAW 264.7 cell line was obtained from ATCC (Manassas, Va). The cells maintained in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium (DMEM) (Gibco) which was supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Gibco) and 1% Penicillin-Streptomycin (15-140-122, Gibco). This base media formulation serves as the M0 control media. Cells were routinely subcultured every 3–4 days and maintained at 37 °C in 5% CO2. Macrophage activations was assessed by seeding at 1.05 × 104 cells/cm2 and allowing them to recover overnight. M1 stimulation media was M0 control media with 10 ng/ml IFNγ (Peprotech) and 100 ng/ml Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (SigmaAldrich) added. M2 stimulation media was M0 media with 40 ng/ml IL-4 (Peprotech) and 20 ng/ml IL-13 (Peprotech) added. Stimulation with M1 media, M2 media, and silk particles occurred 24 hours after seeding. 250 μl of stimulation media was added to each well with unstimulated wells receiving M0 media. The wells stimulated with silk nanoparticles received 250 μl of M0 media supplemented with 50 μg of silk particles. 48 hours post-stimulation the media was changed using the same conditions as the first stimulation. This stimulation strategy resulted in 15 groups 72 hours post-stimulation: M0 (unstimulated), M1-Like, M2-Like, and the 12 silk nanoparticle formulations.

A RAW 264.7 cell line (ATCC, Manassas, VA) was grown in RPMI-1640 medium (Corning, USA) containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 mg/mL streptomycin, and 2 mM stable L-glutamine. RAW 264.7 cells were maintained under standard conditions in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 at 37 °C. The cells were grown in a 96-well plate at a density of 3.0 × 105 cell/cm2 for 24 h. Cells were treated with the filter-HA, hotplate-HA and microwave-HA after calcination at 600 °C and commercial at various concentrations (0–500 μg/mL) for 24 h. After that, the spent medium was then removed and 200 μl of 0.5 mg/ml 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) solution was added into each well and incubated at 37 °C in a CO2 incubator for 3 h. The resulting formazan crystals were dissolved in DMSO, and the absorbance for each well was detected at 560 nm using a microplate reader (Thermo Fisher, USA). Data were obtained from three independent experiments in four replicates. Cell viability was calculated using the following equation: [(Abstreatedsample/Absuntreatedsample)×100]

The RAW264.7 cell line (ATCC, Manassas, Virginia, USA) was stably transfected with NF-κB 35 (link) and NFATc1 luciferase reporter gene constructs 36 (link), and transiently with Nrf2-ARE luciferase reporter gene construct, and then seeded in 48-well plates at the concentration of 1.5×105, 5×104 and 1×105 cells per well respectively. Cells were cultured overnight and then pre-treated with LrB for 1 hour and stimulated with RANKL for 6, 24 and 12 hours respectively. After stimulation, cells were lysed using luciferase lysis buffer and luciferase activities were measured using a luciferase reporter assay kit (Promega, Sydney, NSW, Australia, Cat# 318248) and a luminescence plate reader (BMG LABTECH, Ortenberg, Germany).

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.
