LPS (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) was used to induce ALI model [17] and 72 mice were grouped into six groups with 12 mice in each group: (1) Blank group (no treatment); (2) Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) group (mice were administered with PBS through nose); (3) LPS group (mice were administered with LPS through nose); (4) LPS + normal saline (NS) group (mice were administered with LPS through nose and injected intraperitoneally with normal saline); (5) LPS + 0.3 Tunicamycin (TM) group (mice were administered with LPS through nose and injected intraperitoneally with 0.3 mg/kg TM); (6) LPS + 3.0 TM group (mice were administered with LPS through nose and injected intraperitoneally with 3.0 mg/kg TM). Mice in the LPS + NS group, LPS + 0.3 TM group and LPS + 3.0 TM group were daily intraperitoneally injected with NS or TM (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) 3 d before model establishment. One hour after the final time of injection, mice were anesthetized using pentobarbital sodium (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). Except for mice in the blank group and the PBS group, mice were administered with 0.5 mg/kg LPS, while mice in the PBS group were administered with 0.5 mg/kg PBS. About 12 h later, mice were euthanized and the sample was gathered.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Macrophages from M‐Wt, M‐Vec, and IL10‐eM groups were cultured with a culture medium containing FBS in 10 cm dishes, respectively. When reached 80–90% confluency, the culture medium was replaced with Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium (DMEM) without FBS and antibiotics and cells continued to be cultured for 24 h. Thereafter, the supernatants from different groups were collected and frozen at −80 °C after centrifuging at 1000 g for 10 min. In a noncontact coculture system, C166 was treated with LPS to simulate septic endothelial injury, and then, supernatants from different macrophages were added to investigate the effect on endothelial dysfunction. The detailed treatment methods and experimental group settings are shown as below: (a) Control (CTL) group: DMEM cultured for 24 h, (b) LPS group: DMEM containing 1 μg·mL−1 LPS (Sigma, USA) was treated for 24 h, (c) M‐Wt + LPS group: M‐Wt supernatant was pretreated for 30 min and then added 1 μg·mL−1 LPS for 24 h, (d) M‐Vec + LPS group: M‐Vec supernatant was pretreated for 30 min and then added 1 μg·mL−1 LPS for 24 h, (e) IL10‐eM + LPS group: IL10‐eM supernatant was pretreated for 30 min and then added 1 μg·mL−1 LPS for 24 h.

U937 monocyte-like cells, derived from patients with histiocytic lymphoma (ATCC® CRL1593.2), were cultured in Gibco RPMI-1640 medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Waltham, MA, United States) supplemented with 44 mM sodium bicarbonate (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, United States), Gibco 10% fetal bovine serum (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.), and 1% Penicillin-Streptomycin antibiotic solution (Sigma-Aldrich) in a humidified incubator at 37°C and a 5% CO2 atmosphere unless stated otherwise. Cells (5 × 105) in 3 mL of medium were stimulated with 1 μg/mL LPS (Cat. No: L2654; Sigma-Aldrich) for 24 h, and then incubated with 100 μM E3330 (≥98% pure; Sigma-Aldrich) or 6 mM methoxyamine (MX) for 4 h. The cells were grouped as follows: unstimulated (control), LPS-stimulated (LPS), LPS + 100 μM E3330 (LPS + E3330), and LPS + 6 mM MX (LPS + MX). We ensured that the cell lines used in these experiments were free of mycoplasma infection.

Twenty male Sprague-Dawley rats (7–8 weeks old) were purchased from Shanghai SLAC Laboratory Animal Co., Ltd. (Shanghai, China). All the rats were kept in pathogen-free housing under a 12-h light/dark cycle with free access to food and sterile water during the research procedures. The rats were anesthetized with 3% sodium pentobarbital (150 mg/kg), and randomly divided into four groups (five rats per group): control (K group): intraperitoneal injection of physiological saline; LPS (L group): intraperitoneal injection of 200 µL of LPS (5 mg/kg; Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) dissolved in physiological saline; LPS + dexamethasone (LPS + Dexa group, positive control): intragastric administration of Dexa (1.5 mg/kg) (Sigma) 1 h before intraperitoneal injection of LPS (5 mg/kg); LPS + Res (R group in sequencing data): intragastric administration of Res (0.5 mg/kg) 1 h before intraperitoneal injection of LPS (5 mg/kg). At 6 h after LPS treatment, the rats were euthanized by sodium pentobarbital injection (200 mg/kg). All experimental procedures were approved by the ethics committee of Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital (approval No. K21-025), in compliance with National Institutes of Health Guidelines for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals.

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.
