We extracted RNA from the middle and caudal lung lobes using an RNA isolation kit (400,800, Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA) and converted it to cDNA using a reverse transcription supermix (1,708,841, Bio‐Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA). Next, we analyzed the gene expression levels of pro‐inflammatory cytokines IL‐6 (Mm00446190_m1), TNFa (Mm00443258_m1), chemokines CCL‐2 (Mm00441242_m1), CCL5 (Mm01302427_m1), lung epithelial surfactant protein C (Sftpc (Mm00488144_m1), and secretoglobins (Scgb1a1 (Mm00442046) by RT‐PCR using TaqMan probes and primers (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

Mouse lungs were lavaged with 1 mL sterile PBS for inflammatory cell counts. Cytospin preparations of BAL fluid were stained using Diff-Quick (Sigma St. Louis, MO) and differential cell counts were conducted based on cell morphology. The superior lobe of the right lung was homogenized in sterile PBS (1ml) by mechanical grinding. The lung homogenate was use for bacterial colony counting cytokine analysis by Bio-plex Multiplex immunoassay (BioRad, Hercules, CA). Middle and inferior lobes of the right lung were snap-frozen and homogenized under liquid nitrogen for RNA extraction using an RNA isolation kit (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA). RNA analysis was performed by RT-PCR using Assay on Demand TaqMan probes and primers (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA). For bacterial dissemination studies, the liver, spleen, and kidneys were homogenized in PBS and plated for colony counts.

PCRs of 20 μl with 1.2 μl of template cDNA were performed with 3U Taq DNA Polymerase (Bangalore GeNei, India). Actin was taken as control. Thermocycling was performed using Thermal Cycler (PaqStar) with the following cycling conditions: 95°C for 4 min, 35 cycles of 94°C for 45 s, 50.7°C (PAL) or 53°C (peroxidase) or 55°C (actin) for 45 s; 72°C for 60 s, followed by final extension of 72°C for 10 min. The final product obtained with RT-PCR was separated by electrophoresis in 1.2% agarose gel in TAE buffer using gel electrophoresis apparatus (Bangalore GeNei, India) and visualization was done in gel documentation system (Bio-Rad, India).

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.
