Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Caco-2 cells (passages 10 to 12) were seeded at a density of 4.76 × 105 cells/cm2 in polyethylene terephthalate cell culture inserts with a pore size of 0.4 μm (BD Falcon, VWR, Denmark) and placed in 6-well cell culture plates (BD Falcon, VWR, Denmark). Cells were cultured for 21 days. On day 20, RAW264.7 cells (passages 5 to 8) were seeded in 6-well cell culture plates at a density of 1.04 × 105 cells/cm2 in 10% FCS cell culture media. To establish the co-culture model, Caco-2 inserts were transferred to RAW264.7 wells on day 21. RAW264.7 cells were stimulated with 1 μg/ml LPS (Escherichia coli O127:B8, Sigma-Aldrich) whereas 0.001, 0.1, 10, and 100 ng/ml PKD1 (129.3 kDa, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Denmark) were added apically to Caco-2 cells (Figure 1). Two studies were performed, either LPS was administered for 3 h followed by PKD1 for 3 h or PKD1 was administered for 3 h followed by LPS for 6 h. Supernatants were collected and stored at −80°C for ELISA analysis, while cells were harvested and stored in RNAlater at −80°C for qPCR analysis. Three biological replicas were performed.

Immunomodulatory Responses of BEAS-2B and THP-1 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
SBDE, LPS (Escherichia coli O127:B8; Sigma), and PGN
(Staphylococcus aureus; Sigma) treatments were performed on
BEAS-2B and THP-1 cell lines. Ligand stimulants (SBDE, LPS, PGN) were prepared
by dissolving stock concentrations in a serum-free culture medium to achieve a
final concentration of 10 µg/ml (LPS and PGN) and 5% (SBDE), respectively. Five
percent SBDE is known to induce maximal pro-inflammatory response with limited cytotoxicity.13 (link) Stimulant treatments were performed at the respective final
concentrations and media alone treated cells served as no treatment controls.
Stimulant and no treatment control cell pellets were prepared at 0 − and 24-h
post treatment for kinome and transcriptional analyses.

The bronchial BEAS-2B epithelial cells were purchased from ATCC (Maryland, USA) and cultured in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS) at 37°C and 5% CO2. The treatment reagents LPS (Escherichia coli O127:B8) and Telmisartan (98% purity, HPLC grade) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, USA). The concentration of Telmisartan was optimized with a series of dose-response experiments for 3-(4,5)-dimethylthiahiazo (-z-y1)-3,5-di-phenytetrazoliumromide (MTT) and LDH experiments (0, 1, 2, 10, 20, 100, and 200 μM) for 24 hours. For all other experiments, cells were challenged with LPS (30 μg/ml) with or without Telmisartan (10, and 20 μM) for 24 hours.

PBMCs of anonymous healthy donors were isolated from buffy coats purchased from the Beijing Red Cross Blood Center using density gradient cell separation by Ficoll (Lymphoprep; STEMCELL Technologies) following the protocol approved by the institutional review board of the School of Medicine, Tsinghua University. The private information of anonymous blood donors was inaccessible to investigators. PBMCs of RA patients were obtained from Peking Union Medical College Hospital using the protocol that was approved by the institutional review board of Peking Union Medical College Hospital. CD14+ monocytes were further isolated from PBMCs using anti-CD14 magnetic beads (130-050-201; Miltenyi Biotec). CD14+ monocytes were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium (10040CM; Corning) supplemented with 10% (vol/vol) FBS (Gibco) and human recombinant M-CSF (300-25, 10 ng/ml; PeproTech). LPS (Escherichia coli O127:B8; Sigma-Aldrich), human recombinant IL-7 (200-07; PeproTech), human recombinant TNF (H8916; Sigma-Aldrich), or chemical inhibitors (SB203580 from Selleck; STAT5 inhibitor from Santa Cruz Biotechnology; and Bay 11-7082 from Sigma-Aldrich) were used as indicated for various experiments.

All animal procedures complied with the National Institutes of Health in the United States guidelines and were reviewed and approved by the local Hospital Animal Care and Use Committee (Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee approval number 2017070401, approval date: 7 September 2017). Ten-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were purchased from BioLasco Biotechnology (Taipei, Taiwan). Animals were initially anesthetized using an intraperitoneal injection of a 0.01 mL/kg mixture (1:1 v/v) of tiletamine-zolazepam (Zoletil® 50, Carros, France) and xylazine hydrochloride (Rompun® Bayer HealthCare, Berlin, Germany) and subsequently subjected to intrafemoral injections of 10 mg/kg LPS (Escherichia coli O127:B8, Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA) or vehicle PBS solution. On postinjection days 7 to 10, mice were euthanized (5 to 6 mice per group). The inoculated femur was immediately fixated in 10% formaldehyde and subjected to microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) analysis.

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.
