Transcriptomic Response of H. zea to Xenobiotics

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A laboratory colony of H. zea, generously provided by Dr. May R. Berenbaum (Department of Entomology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), was maintained in an insectary kept at 28 °C with a photoperiod of 16 h light: 8 h dark on a semi-synthetic control diet containing wheat germ [25 ]. Induction treatments were performed as described by Li et al. [9 (link)]. The analytical grade plant allelochemicals, xanthotoxin, chlorogenic acid, indole-3-carbinol, flavone, rutin, gossypol, 2-tridecanone, quercetin, coumarin and plant signal molecules jasmonate and salicylate, used in this study, were obtained from Sigma (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) (Figure 1). In brief, 30 newly molted 5th instar larvae were allowed to feed on control diets or control diets containing 0.1% plant xenobiotics for 48 h. Three independent biological replicates of the control diet or each plant xenobiotic treated diet were prepared for subsequent RNA extraction. Midguts and fat bodies were then dissected out, flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at −80 °C for subsequent RNA extraction.

LAKs were harvested and plated at a concentration of 1-2.5×106 cells/ml on 96 well plates (BD Biosciences). The cells were cultured in complete RPMI (or complete IMDM where indicated). LAKs were stimulated with a concentration of 5ng/ml IL-12 (eBioscience, San Diego, CA) unless otherwise stated, 2000U/ml proleukin, 30μM CH-223191 (Calbiochem, Darmstadt, Germany), 0.625μM flavone (Sigma), 0.31μM α-napthoflavone (Sigma), 300nM FICZ (Enzo Life Sciences, Farmingdale, NY), or DMSO (Sigma) as a vehicle control. After 48 hours, supernatants were collected and levels of IL-10 or IFN-γ were assayed by ELISA. For analysis of IL-10/GFP expression, cells were surface stained and run on a FACSCanto II (BD Biosciences). For analysis of IL-10 production from NK cells from infected mice, DX5+ NK 1.1+CD3- cells were sorted from spleens. The purified NK cells were plated at a concentration of 2×106 cells/ml on 96 well plates, stimulated for 48 hours with 50ng/ml PMA and 1μM ionomycin, and cytokine levels were measured by ELISA.

Polylactide (PLA), Ingeo 4043D, was obtained from NatureWorks LLC (Minnetonka, MN, USA). This material with a density of 1.25 g/cm3 is characterized by glass transition of about 55–60 °C. The melting point of this polymer is 145–160 °C and the melt flow index equals 6 g/10 min. Poly(hydroxybutyrate) (P(3.4 HB)) containing 12 mol% 4-hydroxybutyrate was obtained from Simag Holdings LTD (Hong Kong, China). The density of this polymer is 1.25 g/cm3, its melt flow index equals 18 g/10 min and the melting point is 170 °C. Different natural antioxidants, including lignin (alkali, low sulfonate content lignin, kraft, pH: 10.5 (3 wt %)), flavone (Mw = 222.24 g/mol, mp: 94–97 °C, ≥99.0%) and trans-chalcone (Mw = 208.26 g/mol, mp: 55–57 °C, 97%), used as stabilizers, were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (Saint Louis, MI, USA).

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.
