To evaluate in vitro immunological effect of low dose NaOCl exposure aggravating allergic inflammation, we measured thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), IL-33, and IL-1β expression after treating low dose NaOCl on the epithelial and macrophage cell lines.
AMJ2-C11 (mouse macrophage cells, ATCC; CRL-2456) was used for IL-1β, caspase-1, and IL-18 expression. Cells were treated with 0.0001∼0.005% in serum free media. Cell supernatants and lysates samples were used for the analysis of mRNA and protein expression. MLE12 (mouse lung epithelial cells, ATCC; CRL-2110) was used for IL-33 expression and treated with 0.001% NaOCl up to 96 hrs. A549 (human epithelial lung carcinoma cells, American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), MD, USA; CRL-185) was used for the evaluation of TSLP. Cells were treated with 0.001% and 0.003% NaOCl for 24 hr and 48 hr and cell lysates were used for western blot.
IL-1β, IL-33 and TSLP mRNA expressions from NaOCl-treated cells were measured using real-time PCR as previously described method. Primer sequence of each gene was as follows; IL-1β, forward 5′-GCAACTGTTCCTGAACTCAACT-3′ and reverse 5′-ATCTTTTGGGGTCCGTCAACT-3′; IL-33, forward 5′- TGAGAAACCTGAAAAATGAGACCTAGA-3′ and reverse 5′- CTGCGGTGCTGCTGAACTT-3′; TSLP, forward 5′-TATGAGTGGGACCAAAAGTACCG-3′ and reverse 5′-AGTAAGGCAATGTGGCCGATT-3′.

Culturing Murine Cell Lines for Research

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The murine endothelial cell line SVEC4-10 (CRL-2181) was purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC; Manassas, VA, USA). The P815 mast cells (mouse lymphoblast-like mastocytoma cell line) [66 (link),67 (link),68 (link),69 (link)] was purchased from the Rio de Janeiro Cell Bank (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). Both cell lines were maintained in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium (DMEM) plus 10% heat inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS). The murine lung macrophage cell line AMJ2-C11 (ATCC® CRL-2456™) was cultivated in DMEM plus 5% heat inactivated fetal bovine serum. All cell lines were cultured at 37 °C in a humidified environment containing 5% CO2 in air. All reagents used for cell culture were purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Invitrogen/Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA).

1 × 105 cells of alveolar macrophage cell line (AMJ2-C11; ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) were seeded in a well plate. After 6 h, the cells were treated either with PBS or 20 ng/mL of recombinant IL-13 (BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA). Naïve or Liproxstatin-1 primed-MSCs were added 12 h later. The cells were harvested after another 24 h.

Isolation and Culture of Murine Macrophages

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Bone marrow was collected to generate bone marrow derived macrophages (BMM) and chimeric mice. Marrow was collected from femurs and tibias by rinsing and disruption through a 26-gauge needle and filtering via a 40 μM filter. BMM were differentiated in culture at 37°C using a 1:10 dilution of L929 supernatant and adherent cells were collected after one week. Alveolar macrophages were collected from exsanguinated mice by repeated lavage of the lung alveoli through a cannula with 0.6 mM EDTA in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) at 37°C. The lavage fluid was then placed on ice. Red blood cells (RBCs) were lysed using ammonium chloride/potassium bicarbonate (ACK) buffer. The murine alveolar like macrophage-cell line AMJ2-C11 was obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). Cells were counted on a hemocytometer using Trypan Blue (Sigma) to assay viability. Cells were cultured at 37°C and 5% CO2 and maintained in Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI) 1640 medium (HyClone) with 10% heat-inactivated (56°C for 30 min) fetal bovine serum (Atlanta Biologicals), 100 units penicillin, and 100 μg streptomycin (Hyclone).

Alveolar Macrophage Exposure to PM2.5

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mouse alveolar macrophage cells, AMJ2-C11 (American Type Culture Collection, ATCC, Rockville, MD) were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 4 mM L-glutamine, 1.5 g/L sodium bicarbonate, 4.5 g/L glucose, 5 mM HEPES, 50 U/mL penicillin, and 50 μg/mL streptomycin, following the ATCC protocol.
Cells were seeded at 2.5 × 105 onto six-well plates and underwent a 2-h starvation at 37 °C in a 5% CO2/95% air atmosphere. Immediately following starvation, all wells were exposed to PM2.5 suspended in serum-free DMEM or controls for 3, 24, or 48 h. Control cells received media alone, media containing lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to control for potential endotoxin contamination (Tager et al. 2010 (link)), or media containing extracts of unexposed filters to control for filter material released during the extraction procedures. LPS contamination of PM2.5 samples was quantified using a chromogenic endotoxin quantitation kit (Pierce LAL Chromogenic Endotoxin Quantitation Kit; Thermo Scientific, Pittsburgh, PA) and LPS-control cells were treated with the highest LPS concentration detected from previous samples collected in Pittsburgh, PA (0.174 EU/mL). Duplicate wells for each sample/control were exposed at each time point.

The mouse AM cell line, AMJ2-C11, and the mouse alveolar epithelial cell line, LA-4, were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA). The cdk4/hTERT-immortalized normal human bronchial epithelial cell line, HBEC4 [16 (link)] was obtained from the Hamon Center Collection (University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX). AMJ2-C11 and LA-4 cells were cultured in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium supplemented with 100 U/ml penicillin, 0.1 U/ml streptomycin, 2.5x10−4 U/ml amphotericin B, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, Minimum Essential Medium (MEM) non-essential amino acids, and 10% Fetal bovine serum (FBS). HBEC4 cells were cultured in keratinocyte serum-free medium (Life Technologies, Gaithersburg, MD) supplemented with 50 ng/ml bovine pituitary extract and 5 ng/ml epidermal growth factor. Cells were grown under standard conditions in a humidified incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2.

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.
