For the cytokine studies, the media was changed every 2 days. For the IL‐13 experiments, 20 ng/ml IL‐13 (R&D Systems) or DMSO vehicle was added to the basolateral compartment of differentiated epithelia, then 20 µl of the basolateral solution was added to the apical surface and experiments were performed 21 days after initial treatment. 20 ng/ml IL‐13 is sufficient to increase goblet cell abundance in many laboratories (Laoukili et al. 2001; Atherton et al. 2003; Zhen et al. 2007; Kanoh et al. 2011; Thavagnanam et al. 2011; Dickinson et al. 2016; Pezzulo et al. 2019). For IL‐17/TNFα experiments, 20 ng/ml IL‐17 (R&D Systems) and 10 ng/ml TNFα (R&D Systems) or DMSO was added to the basolateral media and experiments were performed 2 days later based on preliminary dose–response studies and previous reports (Kao et al. 2004; McAllister et al. 2005; Kreindler et al. 2009; Choy et al. 2015; Lehmann et al. 2018; Pezzulo et al. 2019).

Migration of neutrophils, isolated from PBMC of HDs by magnetic beads (EasyStep enrichment kit, StemCell Technologies), was assessed in transwell plates (5 µm pore size, Corning Costar), towards Th17 supernatants or recombinant cytokines (IL-17, R&D Systems, 50 ng/mL; IL-8, R&D Systems, 100 ng/mL; GM-CSF, R&D Systems, 100 ng/mL), for 90 min at 37°C. In specific experiments, anti-IL-8 or anti-GM-CSF antibodies (10 μg/mL, R&D Systems) were added to Th17 supernatants.
Migration of CD8+ T cells, sorted from PBMC of HDs by magnetic microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec) and pre-activated overnight with anti-CD3/CD28 antibodies, was evaluated in transwell plates (5 µm pore size) towards Th17 supernatants, supernatants of HMEC cells, untreated, or exposed overnight to Th17 supernatants or recombinant proteins (IL-17, 50 ng/mL; TNF-α, 1 ng/mL, R&D Systems; IFN-γ, 1 ng/mL, Biolegend; or their combination), or towards CCL5 (60 and 200 ng/mL, R&D Systems) and/or CCL20 (300 and 1000 ng/mL, R&D Systems). Depletion of CCL5 and/or CCL20 from Th17-derived supernatants was obtained by specific capture antibodies (R&D Systems). Cell migration was quantified by flow cytometry.

Ear tissues were homogenized and collected into a protein extraction reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). After vortexing, the homogenates were centrifuged and the clear supernatants collected. IL-4, IL-6, IL-17, IFN-γ, TGF-β1, and TNF-α (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), IL-22 and IgE (Biolegend, San Diego, CA, USA) in tissue supernatants or plasma were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) according to the manufacturers’ instructions.

Protein Quantification in Lung Tissues

Each lung tissue specimen was homogenized using cell lysis buffer. The cell lysis buffer consisting of 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.2, 0.5 mM EDTA, 0.15 M NaCl, and 0.5% NP-40. The homogenates were then centrifuged at 100,000× g for 1 h. Total protein concentrations in the supernatants were measured using the Bio-Rad Protein Assay to normalize the concentration of target cytokines in the supernatants. In the manner described above for BALF, tissue supernatant was assayed for the protein levels of TNF-α, GM-CSF, IL-17, and IL-33 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA).

Modulating YAP Signaling in HEK293 Cells

HEK293 cells were cultivated in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM, Sigma, St. Louis, MO, US) with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 1% non-essential amino acid solution and 2% penicillin and streptomycin (PS). HEK293 YAP−/− were generated using specific CRISPR cas-9 and homology direct repair plasmid targeting YAP sequence (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, US), CRISPR clones generation was done following manufacturer instructions, and validated by western blot and DNA sequencing. Plates were coated with fibronectin (1:100, Sigma) for 2 h at 37°C before seeding. HEK293 were plated at high cell density (100,000 cells/cm2) or low cell density (10,000 cells/cm2). Approximately 24 h after seeding, TNF was used between 2.5 and 50 ng/ml (except if specified) and IL-17 at 50 ng/ml (R&D system, Minneapolis, MN, US. TNF or IL-17 treatment was performed for 48 h (except for luciferase assay). Y27632 (Sigma) was used at 10 µM and was pre-incubated for 2 h before TNF addition. C3 exoenzyme cell permeable (cytoskeleton, Denver, CO, US) was used at 2 µg/ml and pre-incubated for 2 h before TNF addition.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human placental PCs were stimulated with 20ng/ml of IL-17 (R&D), TNF (Gibco), or both for 12 hours. Total RNA was purified using the RNeasy Mini kit (QIAGEN), in which an on-column DNase treatment was included. Purified RNA was submitted to the Yale Center for Genomic Analysis where it was subjected to mRNA isolation and library preparation. Libraries were pooled, 6 samples per lane, and sequenced on an Illumina HiSEQ 2500 (75bp paired end reads), and aligned using STAR to the GRCh37 (hg19) reference genome. A count-based differential expression protocol was adapted for this analysis (16 (link)); mappable data were counted using HTSeq, and imported into R for differential expression analysis using DESeq2. To find differentially regulated sets of genes for signature generation, an absolute 1.5 fold-change difference between samples and FDR (Benjamini-Hochberg) ≤ 0.1 was used. Raw sequencing data were deposited to the Sequence Read Archive (SRP078508; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra/SRP078508).

Rats were deeply anesthetized by inhalation of isoflurane (4%) in 100% O2 and intracardially perfused with 0.9% saline (between 200 and 250 ml per rat at 4°C), and the spinal cords were subsequently harvested. The lumbar spinal dorsal horns from the L5 to L6 ipsilateral to injury were dissected and rapidly frozen. The tissues were homogenized and total RNA was extracted with TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., Waltham, MA, USA). In the in vitro experiment, total RNA was extracted from astrocytes with 100 ng/ml IL-17 (R&D Systems, Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA) treatment for three days or without. Interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and/or IL-17 mRNA were measured by RT-qPCR. RT-qPCR was performed with the Verso 1-step RT-qPCR kit, SYBR Green, low ROX (Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) according to the manufacturer's protocol and the thermocycling conditions were as follows: 5 min at 94°C; followed by 35 cycles of 10 sec at 94°C, 5 sec at 50°C, and 10 sec at 72°C. Relative expression was calculated with normalization to β-actin values (26 (link)). The primers used are presented in Table I.

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.
