Osteoclast differentiation from bone marrow cells has been described previously51 (link). Briefly, bone marrow cells (2 × 105 cells/well) were cultured in α-minimum essential medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (Sigma-Aldrich Inc. St. Louis, MO, USA), 2.2 mg/mL sodium hydrogen carbonate (Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Corporation, Osaka, Japan), and penicillin–streptomycin (50×; FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Corporation) in 24 well plates. Bone marrow cells were cultured with murine M-CSF (20 ng/mL; PeproTech, Cranbury, NJ, USA) for 2 days. For the next 3 days, murine M-CSF (20 ng/mL) and murine RANKL (100 ng/mL; PeproTech) were added.

Primary bone marrow cells were collected from 4- to 8-week old C57BL/6J or hCD68-GFP mice. Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) were differentiated in vitro from bone marrow flush in α-MEM medium (10% FBS, Pen/Strep, glutamine) with murine M-CSF (30 ng/mL eBioscience) for 6 days. At day 7, macrophages were plated at 2.5 × 105 cells/well in 12-well plates (for efferocytosis assays) or 1.5 × 106 cells/well in 6-well plates (for protein/RNA). Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) were derived from bone marrow flush and cultured in α-MEM medium (20% FBS, Pen/Strep, glutamine) containing 10 nM dexamethasone (Sigma) and used at passage 1–2. Bone marrow neutrophils were isolated as previously described [Swamydas and Lionakis, 2013 (link)]. Briefly, bone marrow was flushed from 8- to 12-week old C57BL/6J mice with RPMI supplemented with 10% FBS and 2 mM EDTA, red blood cells lysed using 0.2% NaCl, and neutrophils separated by density gradient centrifugation (Histopaque 1119 and Histopaque 1077). Neutrophils were harvested at the interface of the Histopaque 1119 and Histopaque 1077 layers and confirmed using FACs anaylsis for CD11b+Ly6G+ cells.

The femur and tibia from two 6-8 week old C57BL/6 or BALB/c mice (Harlan, Rossdorf, Germany) per experiment were flushed with medium (RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 100 U/ml penicillin, 50 µg/ml streptomycin, 100 µg/ml gentamycin; Gibco, Grand Island, New York, USA) to collect bone marrow cells. Erythrocytes were lysed in 150 mM NH4Cl, 10 mM KHCO3, 0.1 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) (Sigma-Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany), pH 7.2. The remaining bone marrow cells were seeded at 106 cells/ml in medium supplemented with either 5 ng/ml murine GM-CSF (BD Pharmingen, Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, USA) and cultured for 7 days or with 100 ng/ml murine Flt3l (BD Pharmingen, Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, USA) and cultured for 9 days or with 10 ng/ml murine M-CSF (eBioscience Inc., San Diego, California, USA) and cultured for 7 days at 37°C with 5% CO2 in a humidified atmosphere. The bone marrow-derived cells cultured in the presence of GM-CSF give rise to non-adherent in vitro conventional DC model populations, positive for the marker CD11c. Flt3l promotes the differentiation into a mixed population of in vitro model conventional DCs and plasmacytoid DCs, both positive for CD11c with the plasmacytoid DCs being additionally positive for B220, while the in vitro model MΦs cultured in the presence of M-CSF are positive for CD11b [41] (link)-[43] .

Bone marrow from C57BL/6 WT, MyD88, Dectin-1 and TLR9 knockout mice aged 8–10 weeks was harvested and differentiated into macrophages in RPMI containing 10% heat-inactivated FCS, 50 μM β-mercaptoethanol and 40 ng/ml murine M-CSF (eBioscience) for 7 days. The murine macrophage cell line J774A.1 was cultured in RPMI containing 10% heat-inactivated FCS and 50 μM β-mercaptoethanol at 37°C, 5% humified CO2. siRNAs (Ambion) were transfected using the INTERFERin (Polyplus) transfection reagent according to the manufacturer's instructions. The day before stimulation, macrophages were activated with 200 U/ml recombinant murine IFN-γ (R&D Systems) overnight. Macrophages were treated with FK506 (10 ng/ml, Calbiochem), cytochalasin D (1 or 10 μM, Sigma), the Syk inhibitor piceatannol (50 μM, Sigma), the BTK inhibitor LFM-A13 (25 μM, Sigma), the IKK2 inhibitor SC514 (24 μM, Calbiochem), bafilomycin A1 (100 nM, Sigma) or the TLR9 blocking nucleotide ODN2088 (1 μM, InvivoGen) for 1 h prior to stimulation with swollen conidia at the indicated MOIs, zymosan (50 μg/ml, InvivoGen) or LPS (25 ng/ml, InvivoGen).

Murine fibrocytes were cultured and differentiated as described in detail before (50) . Briefly, mouse splenocytes were isolated by forcing spleens through a 100 µm cell strainer (BD Biosciences, Heidelberg, Germany), collected by centrifugation (300 x g for 5 min) and further purified by erythrocyte lysis. After centrifugation, CD11b-positive monocytes were enriched from spleen cells using CD11b MicroBeads (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) according to the manufacturer's protocol. Monocyte-enriched cells were resuspended in Fibrolife basal media (Lifeline Cell Technology, Frederick, USA) supplemented with 10 mM HEPES (Gibco), 2 x non-essential amino acids (Biochrom), 2 mM sodium pyruvate (Biochrom), 4 mM glutamine (Gibco), 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 g/ml streptomycin, 2× ITS-3 (Sigma-Aldrich) and 50 μM 2-mercaptoethanol (Gibco). For fibrocyte differentiation, cells were cultured in the presence of 50 ng/ml murine IL-13 (eBioscience) and 25 ng/ml murine M-CSF (eBioscience). On day 3 of the incubation, wells were further supplemented with a cocktail containing a final concentration of 25 ng/ml IL-13 and 12.5 ng/ml M-CSF in fibrolife media. 5 days later, cells were fixed with 10% neutral buffered formalin and stained with hematoxylin and eosin or cell pellets were snap frozen for RNA extraction.

Mouse spleen cells were isolated as described previously, except that the spleens were digested with Accutase (Global Cell Solutions, Charlottesville, VA) for 30 minutes at room temperature according to the manufacturers' instructions [21] (link), [22] (link). Spleen cells were cultured in FibroLife (Lifeline Cell Technology, Frederick, MD) serum-free medium (SFM) including 50 ng/ml murine IL-13 and 25 ng/ml murine M-CSF (PeproTech, Rocky Hill, NJ), as described previously [21] (link), [22] (link), [46] (link). Spleen cells were cultured in flat-bottomed, 96-well, tissue-culture plates at 3.5×105 cells/well in 200 μl with human SAP at the indicated concentrations. On day 3 of the incubation, wells were supplemented with IL-13 and M-CSF, as described previously [21] (link), [22] (link). After 5 days, plates were air-dried, fixed with methanol, and stained with eosin and methylene blue, as described previously [12] –[14] (link), [21] (link), [22] (link), [46] (link). Fibrocytes were counted using the following criteria: an adherent cell with elongated spindle-shaped morphology and an oval nucleus, as described previously [12] –[14] (link), [21] (link), [22] (link), [46] (link). IC50 values were obtained by fitting a sigmoidal dose response curve to the data.

Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were isolated and cultured as described previously15 (link). Briefly, bone marrow cells from wild type C57BL/6 mice were isolated from the tibias and femurs and treated with 20 ng/ml of recombinant mouse macrophage colony stimulating factor (Murine M-CSF, PeproTech Canada) for 7 days. After 7 days, bone marrow derived macrophages were treated for either 18 or 30 hours with recombinant IL-4 (20 ng/ml), IL-13 (50 ng/ml), alone, or in combination with OSM (50 ng/ml) or IL-6 (50 ng/ml) (PeproTech Canada). Alternative activation of macrophages was assessed in the cell lysate by measuring arginase-1 protein by western blotting and by arginase-1 and CD206 by flow cytometry. In some instances, BMDMs were lysed and RNA was isolated for NanoString gene expression analysis.

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.
