Article Title: NAD + prevents septic shock-induced death by non-canonical inflammasome blockade and IL-10 cytokine production in macrophages
doi: 10.7554/eLife.88686
Figure Lengend Snippet: Bone marrow was isolated from mice and bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were differentiated in vitro. Subsequently, BMDMs were cultured in the presence of NAD + or PBS. BMDMs were then primed with either Pam3CSK4 or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) O111:B4. Next primed BMDMs were stimulated with ATP or LPS and cholera toxin B (CTB). ( A ) Pro-casp-1, pro-casp-11, casp-11, NLRP3, casp-1, IL1β, and gasdermin D (GSDMD) expression were determined using western blot and ( B ) IL-1β secretion and LDH release were assessed in the supernatant. Column plots display mean with standard deviation (n=5-8). ( C ) Time-dependent caspase-1 expression was determined via active staining and assessed using a confocal microscope. Column plots display mean with standard deviation (n=5) ( D ) Cell viability and apoptosis were monitored using the IncuCyte live microscopy system. ( E ) LPS transfection with CTB was visualized by using FITC-coupled LPS and DAPI staining and quantified by confocal microscopy and flow cytometry. Column plots display mean with standard deiation (n=6) ( F ) For human experiments macrophages were differentiated from PBMC, primed with Pam3CSK4 and subsequently transfected with LPS and 0.25% Fugene HD Plus. Column plots display mean with standard deviation (n=6). Statistical significance was determined by using Student’s t-test or one-way ANOVA. Asterisks indicate p-values *=p<0.05, **=p<0.01, and ***=p<0.001, only significant values are shown. All data depicted in this figure are provided as source data. Figure 2—source data 1.
