Generation of Murine Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MDSCs were generated from BM of naïve wt or EGFP-LysM-Tg BALB/c mice. Femurs and tibias were collected under aseptic condition, and BM was flushed out with sterile PBS. After red blood cell lysis, BM cells were counted (the number of cells was usually 3–4×107 per mouse), and seeded in Petri dishes at a density of 5×105 cells per ml of Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM; Sigma-Aldrich) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Hyclone, Logan, UT). In preliminary dose-finding experiments the BM cells were cultured for 3 to 7 days in the presence of varying doses of recombinant murine granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (rmGM-CSF; Peprotech, Rocky Hill, NJ) and recombinant murine interleukin-6 (rmIL-6; Peprotech), or with a combination of rmGM-CSF, rmIL-6, and recombinant murine granulocyte colony stimulating factor (rmG-CSF; Peprotech). On the basis of phenotypic and functional characteristics, the optimal protocol for BM-MDSC generation was found to be a 3-day culture of BM cells in the presence of rmGM-CSF, rmIL-6, and rmG-CSF (10 ng/ml each).
DCs, as Ag-presenting cells (APCs), were also generated from BM of naïve wt BALB/c mice by culturing BM cells for 9 days in the presence of 40 ng/ml rmGM-CSF, as described previously [21] (link), [31] (link).

DCs were generated as previously described by Lutz et al (40 (link)). Briefly, the bone marrow was flushed from femurs and tibias obtained from 60 female BALB/c mice (6–8 weeks old, 16–18 g). Mice were euthanized by carbon dioxide asphyxiation for approximately 6 min (air displacement rate: 20%/min; carbon dioxide flow rate: 1.7 l/min; the mortality was ensured by cervical dislocation). Cells (1×106 cells/well) were washed twice with PBS and seeded in each well of a 6-well plate in 2 ml RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10 ng/ml recombinant murine granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (rmGM-CSF), 20 ng/ml recombinant murine interleukin (rmIL)-4 (both from PeproTech, Inc.) and 10% FBS at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 8 days. The morphology of DCs was observed and images were captured using an inverted light microscope (Olympus Corporation) at a magnification of ×200.

Bone marrow cells were isolated from the femur and tibia of eight-week-old C57BL/6N mice. The isolated bone marrow cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 (Welgene) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS; HyClone Laboratories, Inc., Logan, UT, USA), 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Gibco, Waltham, MA, USA), 20 ng/ml recombinant murine granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rmGM-CSF; Peprotech, Rocky Hill, NJ, USA), and 55 μM β-mercaptoethanol (Gibco) for 7 days (37°C, 5% CO2). On Day 3, fresh medium was added. On Day 7, floating cells were harvested and labeled with biotin anti-CD11c antibody (BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA) and subsequently incubated with anti-biotin microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany). The CD11c+ cells were isolated using an MS column (Miltenyi Biotec) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The isolated CD11c+ BMDCs were stimulated with 10 μg/ml periodontal pathogen OMVs in RPMI 1640 complete medium (supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin) for 24 h, and the expression of cell surface markers and cytokines was analyzed via flow cytometry and ELISA, respectively.

DCs were isolated from mouse bone marrow as previously described 10 (link), 20 (link). Bone marrow mononuclear cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS, 20 ng/ml recombinant murine granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rmGM-CSF), and 20 ng/ml recombinant murine interleukin (rmIL)-4 (both from Peprotech, Inc) for 7 days. The images of immature bone marrow-derived DCs (BMDCs) were captured using an inverted light microscope (Olympus Corporation). Immature BMDCs were incubated with CD11c MicroBeads UltraPure (Miltenyi Biotec, Inc.) for 20 min at 4°C following the manufacturer's instructions. The positive fraction containing CD11c+ cells was analyzed by flow cytometry.

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.
