Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Kupffer cells were isolated from mice liver. In brief, under deep anesthesia using pentobarbital (50 mg/kg, i.p.), the liver was perfused in situ with 10 ml of PBS (37°C) in the nonrecirculating fashion to drive out RBCs and subsequently perfused with 10 ml of RPMI 1640 (Hyclone) containing 0.1% collagenase (type IV; Sigma-Aldrich). The liver was removed, minced, and filtered through the mesh. The samples were suspended in RPMI 1640 and centrifuged at 300 × g for 5 min at 4°C; the cell sediments were resuspended with RPMI 1640 and centrifuged at 50 × g for 1 min. The top aqueous phase containing mainly nonparenchymal cells was reserved. To further purify the cells, cells were seeded on the culture plate and incubated for 2–3 h in a humidified incubator (37°C, 5% CO2). Nonadherent cells were removed from the dish by washing with PBS, and the adherent cells were Kupffer cells (16 (link)). For the experiment with BAY 60–6583 (Tocris Bioscience), the isolated Kupffer cells from G2A+/+ and G2A−/−mice were preincubated with LPS (1 μg/ml) for 24 h, and then LPS was washed out, and the cells were exposed to BAY 60–6583 (1 μM) for 10 min, and the intracellular cAMP levels were measured.

Nebulized Adora2b Agonist for ALI

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the administration of the highly specific agonist for Adora2b, BAY 60-6583 (1 mg/kg body weight; Tocris Bioscience, Bristol, UK) we used an Aeroneb Lab ultrasound nebulizer (Aerogen, Dangan, Galway, Ireland) suitable for alveolar deposition (particle size: Volumetric Mean Diameter (VMD): 2,5–4,0 μm). The nebulizer unit was placed at the inspiratory side of the ventilator and was triggered during inspiration only. The aerosol treatment (BAY 60-6583 or vehicle) was given during the 3 h of pressure-controlled ventilation, otherwise the animals were treated as described under “Two-hit ALI model”.

BAY 60-6583 (Tocris Bioscience, Minneapolis, MN) was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). For in vivo administration, fresh solutions of BAY 60-6583 (10%, v/v), 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl; 50%, v/v; Hospira), and polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400; 40%, v/v; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Hampton, NH) were mixed and sterile-filtered through 0.22-μm-pore filter disk, and 100 μl of solution was injected intraperitoneally at mouse weight (1 mg/kg), after 8 weeks of ovariectomy surgery, once every 2 days. A solution comprising DMSO (10%, v/v), 0.9% NaCl (50%, v/v), and PEG 400 (40%, v/v) was injected in animals as vehicle control.

In Vitro Osteoclastogenesis Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Isolation of bone marrow precursors and the in vitro osteoclastogenesis experiment were performed as described previously (Choi et al., 2013 ). In brief, bone marrow cells isolated from femurs of 4–6 week-old C57BL/6 male mice were cultured in the presence of M-CSF (20 ng/ml, R&D Systems) for 3 days. After washing out the non-adherent cells, the adherent cells were used as BMMs. For osteoclast formation, the isolated preosteoclasts were further cultured in the presence of 200 ng/ml of RANKL (Huh et al., 2016 (link)), 30 ng/ml of M-CSF and/or BAY 60-6583 (Tocris). After 3 days, the cells were fixed and stained for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) using a TRAP staining kit (Sigma). The cells were observed using a Zeiss Axiovert 200 microscope and images were obtained with an AxioCam HR (Carl Zeiss) equipped with Axio Vision 3.1 software (Carl Zeiss). TRAP-positive multinucleated cells (TRAP+ MNCs) larger than 100 μm in diameter containing more than 20 nuclei and TRAP+ mononuclear cells were counted, and the number was presented as relative percentage (%).

Proximal small intestines of VillinCre mice were flushed with ice-cold PBS. Tissue was incubated in 10mL of crypt isolation buffer (1xPBS-2mM EDTA) on a rocker for 5 min at 4°C. Tissue was cut longitudinally into small fragments roughly 0.8cm long and incubated in fresh isolation buffer on a rocker for 45 min at 4°C. After incubation, tubes were shaken vigorously until tissue floated, indicating removal of the mucosal layer. Cell suspensions were passed through 70μm cell strainer. Cells were washed with 1 × DMEM and then centrifuged at 50 × g for 10 min. Crypts were counted by hemocytometer and plated at 350 crypts per well in a 1:1 ratio of Matrigel™ Membrane Matrix Growth Factor Reduced (Corning, Cat #354230) to Advanced DMEM/F-12 (Thermo Scientific, catalog #12634-010). Enteroids were cultured for five days in IntestiCult™ Organoid Growth Medium (StemCell Technologies, Vancouver, Canada, catalog # 06005). Wells were treated with 10 μm of BAY 60–6583 (Tocris Bioscience, Bristol, UK, catalog# 4472) or vehicle control (DMSO) for 48 h. Organoids were harvested and lysed in RIPA buffer with 2× protease inhibitors and 2× EDTA (Thermo Scientific, catalog# 78444). Cell lysate protein concentration was determined using Bradford protein assay kit as explained above.

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.
