Global cell activity was evaluated by determining nitrite release into the cell culture medium using the Griess assay according to the manufacturer's protocol (Life Technologies). Cells (1.8 × 104/well) were plated in 24-well culture plates and incubated overnight at 37°C. BV2 cells were incubated for 24 h in DMEM-High or -Low medium plus or minus lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (Sigma-Aldrich) (at either 0.1, 0.5 or 1 μg/mL; n = 6 experiments, treatments in triplicate). Culture medium was then collected, and 150 μL were transferred to 96-well microplates. Nitrite-containing medium was mixed with 20 μL of Griess reagent and 130 μL of deionized water. Standards (1-100 μM) were added to the microplate, which was next incubated for 30 min at RT. Nitrite concentration was determined by measuring A508 with a microtiter plate reader and analyzed with the SOFTmax Pro3.1.1 software.

Assessing Macrophage Resistance to Pathogens

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Infection of murine macrophage-like RAW 264.7 cells was used to assess the resistance of the mutants to innate immune killing. Cells were grown and maintained in Gibco RPMI 1640 Glutamax (Thermo Fisher Scientific) with 10 % FBS (Thermo Fisher Scientific) at 37 °C and 5 % CO2. In total, 1×105 cells ml−1 were aliquoted into flat 96-well plates with the addition of 0.1 µg ml−1 recombinant murine IFNγ (RND Systems) and incubated overnight. Wild-type IP32956 and mutants were cultured overnight as previously described and inoculated at an m.o.i. of 0.1. RAW 264.7 cells with bacteria were incubated for 90 min to allow intracellular infection. Media and extracellular bacteria were removed and cells were washed three times with sterile PBS before fresh medium was added containing 100 µg imipenem ml−1 (Sigma). After 16 h, cells were lysed with 0.1 % Triton X100 in sterile, molecular-grade water for 10 min before manual disruption by pipetting and serial dilution of the resultant lysate for the c.f.u. assay. As a marker of cell activation state, we harvested cell culture supernatant at various time points and inferred nitric oxide production through the quantification of nitrite by a Griess Assay (Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

HMC3 cells were plated into 6-well (2 × 105/well) dishes, grown for 20 h and treated with the tested compounds (1–10 μM) for 8 h followed by IFN-γ (100 ng/ml) stimulation. The release of NO in cell culture medium was evaluated by Griess assay according to manufacturer’s protocol (Thermo Fisher Scientific). In addition, the levels of IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6 in medium pre-treated with 10 μM compound were determined using Human Instant ELISATM Kit following the manufacturer’s protocol (Invitrogen). The optical density at 450 nm was detected using Multiskan GO spectrophotometer.

H2O2 levels generated by He-O2 plasma treatment were measured using the Amplex Red assay following the manufacturer’s protocol (Thermofischer, Saint Aubin, France). Calibration curve was performed using hydrogen peroxide concentrations varying from 5 to 100 μM in PBS. Levels of nitrite NO2 were determined using the Griess assay according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Thermofischer, Saint Aubin, France).

Quantifying Reactive Species in Plasma

To quantify hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), one of the final products of the short-lived reactive species chemistry generated by the gas plasma, the amplex ultra red assay (ThermoFisher, Waltham, Massachusetts, USA), was used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For the detection of two other stable molecules, nitrite (NO2-) and nitrate (NO3-), the Griess assay (ThermoFisher, Waltham, Massachusetts, USA) was performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. As liquid carriers, PBS and cell culture media were used. Quantification was performed by comparing to standards with known H2O2, NO2- and NO3- concentrations. The ROS/RNS quantification assays were performed under equal CCP treatment regimes as for treatment of cells, i.e., 200 µL in 48-well plates.

Liver was excised from each mouse, washed with ice-cold phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; 137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 10 mM Na2HPO4, 2 mM KH2PO4, pH 7.4; Sigma-Aldrich Co.), and weighted. One part of the liver was mashed using a 0.2 μm cell strainer and syringe rubber plunger in cold PBS, to obtain a liver homogenate. The liver homogenate was used to determine the levels of glycogen and NO by using ELISA kit (Sigma-Aldrich Co.) and Griess assay (Thermo Fisher Scientific), respectively.

Cells were then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, mounted using Prolong Gold Antifade (Thermofisher Scientific, P36930), and imaged with a Zeiss LSM700 confocal microscope. For the NO analyzer, sample media was collected after flow exposure and centrifuged at 13,000 g for 5 minutes. 200 μL of supernatant was then added to the NO analyzer. Voltage readings were normalized to baseline, and the area under the peak was used to determine nitrite levels using a standard curve. Each sample was measured at least three times.

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.
