Expression of cell surface molecules of canine AT-MSCs at passage 3 was evaluated by flow cytometry. Briefly, cells were harvested from cell flasks by enzymatic digestion with 0.25% trypsin-EDTA (Sigma-Aldrich). Next, cells were stained with conjugated antibodies (anti-CD45-Alexa 647, anti-CD19-FITC, anti-CD14-PE, anti-CD73-APC, anti-CD90-APC, anti-CD105-PE, and anti-CD44-FITC; all from eBioscience, San Diego, CA, USA) diluted in PBS containing 0.5% BSA. AT-MSCs were incubated for 20 min in the dark at 4°C. Following incubation, cells were washed with PBS and centrifuged at 300 ×g for 5 min. Cell pellets were resuspended with PBS for data acquisition using a BD FACSAria™ II flow cytometer. Data were analyzed using FlowJo software (FlowJo LCC, Ashland, OR, USA).

Flow cytometry was used to detect cell surface receptors and fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated LPS (FITC-LPS) associated with intact cells as previously described with minor modifications [40 (link)]. For the detection of cell surface receptors, cells were pretreated with fatty acid as indicated above with or without ultra-pure LPS for stimulation. One million cells were blocked with 1 μg anti-mouse CD16/CD32 (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) in 100 μL for 5 min at 4°C and then labeled with 0.25 μg anti-TLR4-APC (R&D Systems), 0.5 μg anti-TLR4/MD2-APC (eBioscience), 0.5 μg anti-CD14-PE (eBioscience), or their isotype controls in 100 μL blocking solution for 30 min at room temperature. To assess the effect of LPS-cell association, fatty acid-treated cells were harvested and suspended in the original culture media containing the treatment fatty acid, and incubated with LPS-FITC (1 μg/mL final concentration) for 1 h at 37°C. Fluorescent labeled cells were washed and resuspended in the staining buffer (R&D Systems), and analyzed on an Accuri Flow Cytometer (BD Biosciences).

The spleens from C57BL/6 mice were minced and fibrous material was removed by filtration through a 70 μm cell strainer (BD Falcon). Erythrocytes were lysed with NH4Cl solution (Tiangen) and T cells were purified on nylon wool columns (Ye et al., 2008 (link)), and followed by negative selection using MagCellect Mouse CD3+ T Cell Isolation Kits (R&D Systems). Cells were collected and stained with anti-CD3-FITC (CAT#85-11-0032-82, eBioscience) at 4°C for 30 min and analyzed by flow cytometry. For isolation of peritoneal macrophages, mice were injected intraperitoneally with RPMI 1640 (HyClone), and cells were harvested from the peritoneal cavity 10 min after injection. The cells were washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), plated, and allowed to adhere at 37°C for 2 h in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM; HyClone). At the end of that period, non-adherent cells were removed and macrophages were harvested. The purity of macrophages was determined by flow cytometry using anti-CD14-PE (CAT#12-0141, eBioscience).

Isolation and Characterization of Rheumatoid Arthritis Synoviocytes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Synoviocytes were isolated from synovial tissue specimens that were obtained from patients with RA undergoing total joint replacement surgery. Using enzymatic digestion method, the tissue samples were minced into 1-2 mm3 pieces and treated with 2.5 mg/ml type I collagenase (Gibco, USA) in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) for 2–4 h at 37°C with 5% CO2. Dissociated cells were centrifuged for 5 min at 300g, and cell pellet was resuspended in DMEM +10% fetal calf serum (FCS) (Gibco, USA), 2 mM L-glutamine, and 100 IU/ml penicillin and streptomycin (Solarbio Life Sciences, China) and seeded in 75 cm2 flasks and incubated overnight. Synoviocytes from passages 4–6 were used in each experiment. The cells were morphologically homogeneous and exhibited the appearance of synovial fibroblasts. The purity of cells was tested by flow cytometry using anti-CD14-PE (eBioscience, USA), anti-CD68-APC (Miltenyi Biotec, Germany), and anti-vimentin-ALEXA 488 (BD, USA), and 99% of isolated cells was FLS (CD14 CD68 vimentin+).

Apoptosis of CD14+ monocyte was assessed using Southern Biotech Apo Screen Annexin V apoptosis detection kit (Annexin V-FITC, 7-AAD solution and Annexin V binding buffer). This assay involves staining peripheral blood mononuclear cells with Annexin V-FITC (a phospholipid-binding protein binding to disrupted cell membranes) in combination with 7-AAD (a vital dye binding to DNA penetrating into apoptotic cells). Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis of CD14+ monocytes that are in early (annexin V+/7-AAD) or late (annexin V+/7-AAD+) apoptotic phase was performed. The percentage of apoptotic CD14+ monocytes (out of total circulating CD14+ cells) was assessed by staining peripheral blood mononuclear cells for 3 color FACS analysis employing anti-CD14-PE (eBioscience), Annexin V-FITC and 7-AAD (SouthernBiotech). The cells were then washed again with PBS and re-suspended in 100 µL Annexin V-FITC binding buffer and incubated with 5 µL of Annexin V-FITC for 15 min at room temperature. Another 200 µL of binding buffer and 5 µL of 7-AAD solution were added without washing, and 100,000 cells were acquired by flow cytometry (FACS Calibur, Becton Dickinson) and analyzed by CellQuest software (BD Bioscience). All analyses and readings were made by researchers who were blinded to the study questions.

Platelet-leukocyte complexes (PLC) are defined as monocytes, granulocytes or lymphocytes that are bound to platelets. Citrate-anticoagulated whole blood was collected prior to and 1 h after the transfusion, and within 5 min after collection the blood was added to tubes containing Hepes and antibodies. The PLC were measured by using a platelet marker (anti-CD61-PerCP; BD Bioscience) in combination with a marker for monocytes (anti-CD14-PE; eBioscience, San Diego, CA), granulocytes (anti-CD66b-FITC; Beckman Coulter) or lymphocytes (anti-CD4-PE; eBioscience). After gentle mixing and incubation for 30 min at room temperature in the dark, the samples (total volume 55 μL) were fixed with 0.5 mL 0.3% paraformaldehyde-containing Hepes buffer. After 60 min of fixation, red blood cells were lysed by addition of distilled water [35] and samples were measured by flow cytometry. Leukocytes were identified by the characteristic side scatter and the pan leukocyte marker (anti-CD45-APC; BD Bioscience). Samples were analyzed by percentage CD61 positive cells within the population of monocytes, granulocytes and lymphocytes. The threshold of platelet-leukocyte binding was set at 1% of the isotype control.

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.
