Fecal samples were prepared as described previously.8 (link) In brief, frozen or freshly collected feces were dissolved to make a 100 mg/mL fecal suspension in PBS containing 0.1% Tween 20 and vortexed for 30 minutes at room temperature. Samples then were centrifuged at 4°C for 10,000 × g for 10 minutes to collect clear supernatants. Blood was collected at the time of mice euthanasia in a BD microtainer (Becton Dickinson) via retro-orbital plexus. To measure colonic tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α, colonic tissue was homogenized in RIPA buffer and the clear supernatant was used to measure TNFα. Hemolysis-free sera was obtained after centrifugation and stored at -80°C until further use. Mouse Lcn2 and TNFα Duoset ELISA kit (R&D Systems) were used to quantify serum and fecal Lcn2 and colonic TNFα per the manufacturer’s protocol. Likewise, serum amyloid A was quantified in serum using an ELISA kit. Serum immunoreactivity to LPS and flagellin was analyzed as described earlier.44 (link)

Mouse spleen, hindlimb muscle (including quadriceps, tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius, and soleus muscles), cardiac muscle, serum, and white adipose tissue were collected. Tissues were homogenized using a Dounce homogenizer (100 strokes per tissue sample) on ice in prechilled buffer containing 100 mM tris (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM EDTA, 1% Triton X-100, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, and proteinase inhibitor. The tissue lysate was centrifuged for 10 min at 13,000 rpm at 4°C. The tissue lysate supernatants, together with the mouse serum collected using sodium citrate tubes, were analyzed using the mouse IL-15/IL-15Rα uncoated ELISA Kit (88-7215-22, Life Technologies), IL-12 p40 DuoSet ELISA Kit (DY2398-05, R&D Systems), IFN-β DuoSet ELISA Kit (DY8234-05, R&D Systems), IFN-γ DuoSet ELISA Kit (DY485-05, R&D Systems), IL-6 DuoSet ELISA Kit (DY406-05, R&D Systems), and TNFα DuoSet ELISA Kit (DY410-05, R&D Systems) following the manufacturer’s instructions. The protein levels in the tissues and serum were normalized to the tissue weight and serum volume, respectively. Where indicated, IL-12 p40 in cell culture supernatants was analyzed and normalized to the protein levels of the cell pellets.

PBMC from de-identified healthy donors were obtained with informed consent from the Department of Transfusion Medicine, National Institutes of Health under Biological reagent Registry RD-14-IX-12 approved by NIH biological safety board. CD8-depleted PBMCs, either stimulated or non-stimulated with 10 μg/mL phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) or anti-CD3 antibody (with or without conjugated beads), were plated at 2×106 cells/ml in 48 well plates in RPMI 1640 + 10%FBS (R10) to a final volume of 1 mL in each well. IL-2 was added at a final concentration of 20 U/mL. CD3 antibody okt3 was used at ~0.2 μg/mL final concentration. Compounds were prepared in appropriate solvents according to the manufacturer’s instructions, diluted to working concentrations using RPMI 1640 + 10%FBS (R10), and added to the cell cultures for 6–24 h for CD62L shedding, and 48 h for TNF-α release. Supernatants were collected and assessed using either the CD62L or TNF-α Duo Set ELISA kit according to manufacturer’s instructions (R&D Systems, Inc.). The viability of cells treated with compounds was assessed by acridine orange / propidiom iodide (AO/PI Logosbio catalog F23001) staining using Luna-FL cell counter following the manufacture’s instruction.2

Levels of TNF-α and IL-1β in cell culture supernatants were measured by ELISA using the porcine TNF-α DuoSet ELISA kit and IL-β DuoSet ELISA kit (R&D Systems) following the manufacturer’s recommendation. Samples were diluted 1:3 with assay sample diluent and optical density was measured at 450 nm and 540 nm using a BioTek Synergy HTX plate reader (BioTek). Concentrations were calculated as described by the manufacturer using a recombinant protein as standard. Cytokine levels from the priming supernatants were reported as ng/ml of indicated cytokine. Responses following heterologous re-stimulation were analyzed by calculating the fold change of primed samples divided by the matched unprimed (NS/LPS) samples.

THP-1 or RAW cells were seeded at 5×105 or 3×105 cells/well, respectively, in 96 well plates and treated with increasing concentrations of the indicated compound for 18-20 h. Prior to use, stock solutions of compounds were sonicated at 45°C for 5 min for homogenization. Treated cells were pelleted by centrifugation at 200 ×g for 5 min, followed by harvesting of supernatants. TNFα levels were determined using a mouse- or human-specific TNFα DuoSet ELISA kit (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) per the manufactures guidelines. ODs were determined by reading 450 nm wavelength on a Molecular Devices plate reader with SoftMax pro software v. 5.4.6.005. Cytokine concentration of each sample was calculated through fitting the standard curve to a 4-parameter logistic equation using XLFit software (IDBS, Guilford, Surrey).

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.
