BMDCs from the mice were extracted and cultured as previously described 26 (link). Briefly, 5×105 BMDCs were stimulated using lipopolysaccharides (LPS) (1 μg/mL, Sigma-Aldrich) and bile acids (10 µM, Sigma-Aldrich) or INT-747(100 µM, MedChem Express, USA) or INT-777 (100 µM, MedChem Express) for 24 h.
Mice CD4+ T cells were isolated using mouse CD4 microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) and cocultured with BMDCs pretreated with LCA or INT-777 at a ratio of 5:1 (CD4+ T cells: BMDCs) for 5 days.
Human CD14+ monocytes in PBMCs were isolated using Human CD14 microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec). CD14+ monocytes were incubated with 50 ng/mL IL-4 (AcroBiosystems, Newark, NJ, USA) and 100 ng/mL GM-CSF (AcroBiosystems) to induce DC maturation. 7 days later, 5×105 MD-DCs were treated with 100 ng/ml LPS and 10 µM LCA or 100 µM INT-777 for 24 h.

Bile Acid Administration in Mice

BAs, INT-747 and INT-777 (MedChemExpress, Monmouth Junction, NJ), were dissolved in DMSO to a stock concentration of 1 mM. For in vivo study, BAs were dissolved by adding each solvent sequentially: 10% DMSO, >90% corn oil for oral administration, and 5% DMSO >95% PBS for i.v. administration. Mice received oral gavage of 0.6-mg BAs once daily (~30 mg/kg) dissolved in a 200-μl vehicle (Hang et al., 2019 (link)), or i.v. injections of 80-μg LCA through tail vein every other day (~4 mg/kg) in 100 μl vehicle.

Intrathecal Drug Injection Protocol

For single intrathecal injection, direct transcutaneous intrathecal injection was performed following previous work.28, 29 Briefly, a 25‐Ga 3 10 needle connected to a Hamilton syringe was inserted into the tissues between the dorsal aspects of L5 and L6 of mice, perpendicular to the vertebral column. The injection was considered successful if a tail flick was observed immediately. Then, 5 μL INT‐777, INT‐747, bicuculline SBI‐115, or Z‐guggulsterone (all the above drugs were purchased from MedChemExpress) was administered. For repetitive INT‐777 injection, the drug was injected intrathecally via a polyethylene 10 (PE‐10) tube, the tip of which was placed on the spinal lumbar enlargement level 1 week before. Whether the tube was correctly placed in the intervertebral space was confirmed by paralysis in the bilateral hind limb after a 2% lidocaine injection (3 μL) through the catheter within 30 s.

Metabolite-modulated PGE2 secretion in cMSCs

In stimulation experiments, cMSCs were plated in 96-well plates at 20,000 cells/well in low glucose DMEM (containing 10mM HEPES, penicillin-streptomycin, 10% FBS) and allowed to adhere overnight. The following morning, cells were fed fresh media, stimulated with ligands and incubated at 37°C for 24 hours. For TLR screen, cMSCs were individually stimulated with Pam3CSK4, LPS, flagellin, Pam2CSK4, poly IC (Invitrogen) at indicated doses or vehicle (endotoxin free water, Invitrogen). For the metabolite screen, cMSCs were stimulated with 100ng/ml of Pam3CSK4 in the presence or absence of bacterial metabolites (100 µM). For secondary validation, metabolites at 100µM, 10µM and 1µM were used. For receptor agonists, cMSCs were stimulated with 100ng/ml Pam3CSK4 in the presence or absence of GW4064 (Tocris), INT747 (MedChem Express) or INT-777 (MedChem Express). 24-hour culture supernatants were collected from the treatments and PGE2 concentration was assayed. In some experiments, cells were washed with PBS and lysed in RIPA (Sigma) buffer containing protease and phosphatase inhibitors (Thermo Fisher Scientific). These lysates were then assayed for PGE2. All the experiments utilized cMSCs between passage number 5 and 8.

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.
