An In Vitro Technique to Study Inflammasome Complex Formation in Macrophages

This video demonstrates a technique to study NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome formation in primary macrophages via immunofluorescence. The macrophages are first primed with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to upregulate NLRP3 protein expression. Exposing the macrophages to nigericin—a potassium ionophore—leads to the activation of NLRP3 and the formation of inflammasomes, which are visualized via...

Detection of Inflammasome Activation via Fluorescence Microscopy

This video demonstrates a method to detect NLRP3 inflammasome activation in macrophages using fluorescent reporter probes. The cells are treated with potassium ionophores and glycine to induce inflammasome assembly and caspase-1 activation. Fluorescent reporter probes visualize activated caspase-1, and cells are stained with a fluorescent dye for nuclei...

Detection of Inflammasome Activation and Pyroptotic Cell Death in Murine Bone Marrow-derived Macrophages

We describe the detection of NLRP3 inflammasome activation on cellular basis using fluorescence microscopy and staining for active caspase-1 and the adaptor, ASC. A lactate dehydrogenase release assay is presented to detect pyroptotic lysis on a population basis. These techniques can be adapted to study many aspects of inflammasome...

Activation and Measurement of NLRP3 Inflammasome Activity Using IL-1β in Human Monocyte-derived Dendritic Cells09:04

Activation and Measurement of NLRP3 Inflammasome Activity Using IL-1β in Human Monocyte-derived Dendritic Cells

Dendritic cells (DCs) secrete IL-1β in response to TLR8 recognition of synthetic purine, R848, followed by NLRP3 inflammasome activation with nigericin, therefore, IL-1β can be used to measure NLRP3 inflammasome activity. Intracellular cytokine staining, immunoblotting, and ELISA are used to accurately measure NLRP3 inflammasome priming and activation via IL-1β...

Noninvasive Determination of Vortex Formation Time Using Transesophageal Echocardiography During Cardiac Surgery

We describe a protocol to measure vortex formation time, an index of left ventricular filling efficiency, using standard transesophageal echocardiography techniques in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. We apply this technique to analyze vortex formation time in several groups of patients with differing cardiac...

A Novel Microdissection Approach to Recovering Mycobacterium tuberculosis Specific Transcripts from Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded Lung Granulomas

Microdissection has been extensively employed for the examination of DNA, RNA, and protein within tissue. Laser capture microscopy (LCM) is the most commonly used method, but a new milling technique, mesodissection, is recently available. We demonstrate RNA extraction from mesodissected formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue slides of Mycobacterium tuberculosis...
