All animal procedures complied with the National Institute of Health guidelines and were reviewed and approved by the local Hospital Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC approval number 2016082901). Ten-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were purchased from BioLasco Biotechnology (Taipei, Taiwan). Animals were initially anesthetized through an intraperitoneal injection of a 0.01 mL/kg mixture (1:1 volume/volume) of tiletamine-zolazepam (Zoletil®; Virbac, Carros, France) and xylazine hydrochloride (Rompun®; Bayer HealthCare AG, Leverkusen, Germany), and subsequently subjected to intrafemoral injections of 10 mg/kg LPS (from Escherichia coli O127:B8; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) or 20 mg/kg LTA (from Staphylococcus aureus; Sigma-Aldrich) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; 10 μL). Seven to ten days post-injection, mice were sacrificed (5–7 mice per group). The inoculated femur underwent immediate 10% formaldehyde fixation and was subjected to micro-CT analysis.

Cell culture. The BEAS-2B human bronchial epithelial cell line was purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA, USA), and cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY, USA), 100 µg/ml streptomycin, and 100 U/ml penicillin (Lonza, Walkersville, MD, USA) at 37˚C in an atmosphere containing 5% CO 2 . The BEAS-2B human bronchial epithelial cells were treated with LTA from Staphylococcus aureus (Sigma-Aldrich), in order to induce an inflammatory response. LTA was treated at a concentration of 100 µg/ml for up to 3 h after suitable treatment conditions were experimentally determined.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immediately before the treatment, MEL (meloxicam sodium salt hydrate; Sigma-Aldrich) was dissolved in sterile double-distilled H 2 O to the concentration of 10 mg/mL by keeping in a water bath at 37°C for 1 h and vortexing every 15 min. Then, the medium was added to adjust the concentration for the experiments. Cells were treated with 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, or 2.0 mg/mL MEL with or without addition of 0.2 µg/mL LPS (from Escherichia coli, serotype O26:B6; Sigma-Aldrich). Treatments were performed in duplicate for the cells of each cow.
Experiment 2: PAMP-Induced Specific Immune Responses of MEC to MEL. For this experiment, MEL was dissolved in a manner similar to that in experiment 1. The treatments consisted of a negative control (Neg; medium only), MEL control (1.5 mg/ mL MEL only), LPS control (0.2 µg/mL LPS), LPS + MEL (0.2 µg/mL LPS + 1.5 mg/mL MEL), LTA control (20 µg/mL LTA from Staphylococcus aureus; Sigma-Aldrich), and LTA + MEL (20 µg/mL LTA + 1.5 mg/mL MEL). The dose of MEL for this experiment was selected based on the results from experiment 1. All treatments were performed in duplicate for the cells of each cow.

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.
