Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) was obtained from pgWAT by treatment with 2 mg/mL collagenase (Sigma) for 45 min at 37 °C. The isolated SVF was resuspended in cold Hank’s balanced salt solution (HBSS) with 2% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Cells were incubated with CD45-PE-Cy7 (eBiosciences), F4/80-APC-Cy7 (BioLegend), CD206-Alex647 (Serotec, Inc.) and CD11c-PE (BD Pharmingen) antibodies for 30 min in HBSS containing 2% FBS on ice and then washed and resuspended in solution with Sytox Blue (Thermo Scientific). Cells were analyzed on a BD FACSAria cell sorter after selection by forward scatter and side scatter, followed by exclusion of dead cells with Sytox Blue staining, and analyzed for cell-surface markers using FlowJo software (Tree Star). M1 or M2 macrophages were identified as F4/80-positive/CD11c-positive/CD206-negative or F4/80-positive/CD11c-negative/CD206-positive cells, respectively. The data are shown as the percentage of M1 and M2 macrophages. For sorting preadipocytes, endothelial cells and macrophages, cells were incubated with CD31-PE-Cy7 (eBiosciences), F4/80-APC (eBiosciences), and Sca-1 FITC (eBiosciences) antibodies for 30 min in HBSS containing 2% FBS on ice and then washed and resuspended in solution with Propidium Iodide Staining Solution (Sigma). Gating strategies are presented in Supplementary Figure 12 and Supplementary Figure 13.

SVF was obtained from iWAT and BAT by treatment with 2 mg/ml collagenase (Sigma) for 45 min at 37 °C. The isolated SVF was resuspended in cold Hank’s balanced salt solution (HBSS) with 2% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Cells were incubated with CD45-PerCP-Cy5.5, Clone: 30F-11 (BioLegend, 103131, 1:100), F4/80-APC-Cy7, Clone: BM8 (BioLegend, BL123117, 1:100), CD206-Alex647, Clone: MR5D3 (Bio Rad, MCA2235A647T, 1:50) and CD11c-PE, Clone: HL3 (BD Pharmingen, 553802, 1:100) antibodies for 30 min in HBSS containing 2% FBS on ice and then washed and resuspended in solution with Sytox Blue (Thermo Scientific, S34857, 1:1000). Cells were analyzed on a SH8005 (SONY) cell sorter after selection by forward scatter and side scatter, followed by exclusion of dead cells with Sytox Blue staining, and analyzed for cell-surface markers in FlowJo software (Tree Star). M1 macrophages were identified as F4/80+/CD11c+/CD206− cells. The data are shown as the percentage of total and M1 macrophages.

PBMC Viability Assessment Assay

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were purified by standard density gradient centrifugation using Ficoll-Hypaque (Atom Reactiva, Barcelona, Spain) and used immediately for ex-vivo SCD assays. B-cell death was evaluated by culturing PBMC (1 × 10 6 cells/ml) in Roswell Park Memorial Institute 1640 medium (RPMI-1640) supplemented with 10% of FBS (R10 medium; ThermoFisher Scientific) for 24 h. Then, PBMCs were harvested and incubated with 40 nmol/l of the potentiometric mitochondrial probe 3,3'-dihexyloxacarbocyanine Iodide (DIOC 6 (3)) (ThermoFisher Scientific) in R10 for 1 h at 37°C/5% CO 2 . After that, cells were stained with anti-CD19 APC/Cy7, anti-IgD PE, anti-CD38 PerCP-Cy5.5, anti-CD5 APC (BD Biosciences), and anti-CD27 PE/Cy7 (eBiosciences). Finally, 0.3 μm of Sytox Blue (ThermoFisher Scientific) was added and incubated for 10 min. Cells were acquired in a LSR-II flow cytometer (BD Biosciences). Live cells were identified as DIOC 6 (3) bright/Sytox Blue negative using FlowJo software (Tree Star Inc., Ashland, Oregon, USA).

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.
