IFNγ-Induced IDO Expression in iPSC-MSCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
iPSC-MSCs were seeded on fibronectin- and collagen-coated plates. The next day they were licensed with 50 ng/mL of Recombinant Human IFNγ (BioLegend, San Diego, CA) for 24 and 48 h in M-SFEM, at 37 °C in 5% CO2. Cells were split and treated as follows: RNA was isolated using the QuickRNA miniprep kit (Zymo Research, Irvine, CA) and qPCR was performed using the SYBR Green Master Mix (BioTools, Jupiter, FL) to assess indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) mRNA levels. β-Actin was the reference gene used for normalization. Cells were also stained with antibodies specific for surface markers, as indicated. Data were acquired on a BD LSR Fortessa Flow Cytometer (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ) and analyzed using FlowJo (version 10.0, Treestar, Ashland, OR).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Activation of HUVECs in the presence and absence of Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets was assessed using western blot analysis for HLA class II (HLA-DRα) and ICAM-1. Briefly, HUVECs at 80% confluency were pre-treated with 2 µg/mL of Ti3C2Tx MXene for 24 h. The cells were then activated using 10 units/mL of recombinant human IFN-γ (570202, BioLegend) for 24 h and collected in RIPA buffer on ice and stored at 80 ºC for 24 h. After thawing, cell lysate was spun at 12,000 g for 10 min to collect the supernatant. Protein was quantified using the Bradford Protein Quantification Assay (5000006, Bio-Rad). For gel electrophoresis, 30 µg of protein was loaded into a 10% polyacrylamide resolving gel (1610658, Bio-Rad) and run at 100 V, and then transferred onto a PVDF membrane. The desired primary antibody was incubated with the membrane overnight at 4 °C. The secondary antibodies were added for 1 h at room temperature. Signal was detected using the Pierce™ ECL Western Blotting Substrate (32209, Thermo Fisher Scientific) and a ChemiDoc MP (Bio-Rad). Signal intensities were quantified using Quantity One 1-D Analysis Software (Bio-Rad, Hercules, California) and normalized to beta-actin. Four biological replicates were included for each treatment condition. The list of primary and secondary antibodies used for probing the membranes, along with their dilutions, is presented in Supplementary Table S10.

Cisplatin Resistance in NSCLC Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Two pairs of parental vs. cisplatin resistant human NSCLC cells (A vs. ALC and FA vs. FC) and a pair of mouse Lewis lung cells (LLC vs. LLC-CR) were used. Cell line “A” was established with pleural fluid from a patient with adenocarcinoma. FA was established from a poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Cellular characteristics have been previously characterized (22 (link)–25 (link)) and routinely tested for mycoplasma infection (MycoAlert; Lonza cat#LT07–710). These cell lines were not derived from the patients reported here in this study. LLC and LL24 were purchased (ATCC). We established their cisplatin resistant variants using previously published methods (23 (link), 24 (link)). Note: ALC and FC exhibit 7 fold resistance to cisplatin. LLC-CR exhibits 3 fold resistance. LL24 is normal lung fibroblast. Supplementary Table1 shows the ID50 values for the sensitive and resistant cell lines. Recombinant human IFNγ was purchased from Biolegend (cat#570204). IDO1 inhibitors (Epacadostat (cat#T3545), PF-06840003 (cat#T4307), NLG-919 (cat#T1806), and Indoximod (cat# T6543)) were purchased from TargetMol. Dimethoxyflavone (DMF; cat#D6571), CH-223191 (cat#C8124), TIRON (4,5-dihydroxy-1,3-benzenedisulfonic; cat#172553), and NAD+ were purchased from Sigma.

T cells were sorted from Met1 and Met2 tumor digest as described above.
Met1 and Met2 tumor cells lines were derived from sorted tumor cells and cultured in RPMI 1640 (Gibco) supplemented with 10% FCS, 100 U/mL Penicillin, 100 µg/mL Streptomycin and 2 mM L-Glutamine (RPMI-10%) and were stimulated with 2 ng/mL of recombinant human IFNγ (Biolegend) for 3 days before coculture with sorted T cells.
T cells were cultured at 1:1 ratio with tumor cell line irradiated with 30 cGy in complete human media, in presence of rhIL7 and IL15 (both Peprotech, 25 ng/mL) and human IL-2 (Peprotech, 20 U/mL), the last one added only from day 3 of culture. Half of the media was changed every second day. On day 11, one-third of the cells were restimulated with one-third of the original numbers of tumor cells in the presence or absence of BD GolgiPlug (Brefeldin A). Cells were stained as described above adding anti-CD25 BV605 (Biolegend).

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.
