JC1 staining was performed on the above single-cell isolations with flow cytometry using the JC-1 (5,5″,6,6″-tetrachloro-1,1″,3,3″-tetraethylbenzimidazolylcarbocyanine iodide, Molecular Probes, Inc. Eugene, OR) reagent according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In brief, JC-1 dye was added at 1 mcM to washed cells, and incubated for 20 min at 37 °C, 5% CO2. Cells were washed and CD45 APC-Cy7 (BD Bioscience, Franklin Lakes, NJ) and EpCAM APC (BioLegend, San Diego, CA) antibodies were added for an additional 30 min at room temperature. Cells were washed, acquired on a Canto flow cytometer, and data were analyzed using DeNovo software. The MMP was calculated as the ratio of PE-MFI/FITC-MFI in EpCAM+ and CD45+ cells. Representative data are shown in Supplemental Fig. 1. As a positive control for the specificity of the assay we used 50 mcM of CCCP (carbonyl cyanide 3-chlorophenylhydrazone) to depolarize the MMP measured using the JC-1 dye.

B6.CgGt(ROSA)26Sortm14(CAG-tdTomato)Hze/J mice (Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME, USA) were nebulized with hDD90–118 nanoparticles loaded with 1 mg of mRNA encoding for Cre Recombinase (Trilink, NLS-Cre, 5meC, ¬). Nanoparticles were prepared according to the protocol described earlier. Control C57BL/6 mice were nebulized with buffer only. Mice were sacrificed 7 d postnebulization, lungs were minced and incubated for 1 h at 37 °C in PBS buffer (Gibco) containing 0.92 M HEPES (Gibco), 201.3 units mL−1 collagenase I (Sigma), 566.1 units mL−1 collagenase XI (Sigma), and 50.3 units mL−1 DNase I (Sigma). Digested tissue was filtered through a 70 · 10−6m nylon cell strainer and treated with red blood cell (RBC) lysis buffer for 5 min. The suspension centrifuged at 400 G, pellet resuspended in PBS containing 0.5% bovine serum albumin and filtered through a 40· 10−6m cell strainer. The cell suspension was centrifuged again, pellet resuspended, and then incubated for 30 min at 4 °C with antibodies against epithelial (EPCAM-APC), endothelial (CD31-AF488), and immune (CD45-BV421) cell markers at a 1:300 dilution (all antibodies from BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA).

Murine lung tissue was digested into a single-cell suspension as previously described using dispase (Corning catalog #354235), collagenase (Roche catalog #10103578001), and DNase (Roche catalog #10104159001). When isolating AT2 cells from SftpcCreERT2:R26RTdTomato mice, the animals received 200μg/gm tamoxifen (Sigma-Aldrich catalog #T55648) in corn oil (Sigma-Aldrich catalog #C8267) via gavage 3 days prior to being euthanized. Tomato+ cells were isolated using flow cytometry (MoFlow Astrios with Summit v 6.3.0.16900 software). To isolate AT2 cells from mice we stained single-cell suspensions of murine lung tissue and gated based on the following criteria: positive for EpCAM-APC (BioLegend catalog #118213) and negative for CD31-PE (eBioscience catalog #12-0311-81), CD45-PE (eBioscience catalog #12-0451-81), podoplanin-PE (eBioscience catalog #12-5381-80), Sca1-PE (eBioscience catalog #12-5981-81), CD24-PE (BioLegend catalog #119307), and DAPI (BioLegend catalog #422801) as previously described81 (link). To isolate mesenchymal cells we sorted for cells that were positive for CD140a (BioLegend catalog #135907) and negative for and DAPI (BioLegend catalog #422801). Antibody concentrations are in Supplementary Table 2.

Organs were surgically removed from NSG mice, and 100 mg of the tissue was lysed in 1 ml lysis buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 150 mM NaCl, and 1% IGEPAL CA-360) supplemented with complete protease inhibitors and were processed with a tissue homogenizer. Homogeneous lysates were spun at 12,000 g for 20 min at 4°C. The supernatant was collected and supplemented with 4× sample buffer and boiled for 5 min at 96°C.

Aliquots (0.5 ml) from the previously prepared 15 ml Falcon tubes, containing ~ 250,000 cells from a cancer-cell line spiked into normal whole blood, were analyzed by flow cytometry. Red blood cells were lysed using ammonium chloride, and samples were then stained with the antibodies CD45-PC7 (25-0459-42, eBioscience, Wien, Austria) and CD31-RPE (MCA1738PE, Abd Serotec, Segrate, Italy), which were used to exclude CD45+ cells and endothelial cells, respectively, during analysis of the data. The antibody EPCAM-APC (324208, Biolegend, CA, USA) was used to identify cancer cells of epithelial origin and CD227-FITC (MCA1742F, Abd Serotec) was used to further identify breast-cancer cells expressing mucin-1. Flow cytometry was performed on a Beckman Coulter FC500 flow cytometer equipped with a 488 nm blue laser and a 633 nm red, air-cooled laser. Each experiment was performed in triplicate.

Mice were injected intraperitoneally with 50 μg of LPS and killed 2 or 3 h postinfection as detailed in the figure legends. Human (Sigma #RAB0103-1KT) and mouse (Sigma #RAB0104-1KT) G-CSF levels were quantified by ELISA in serum, bone marrow aspirates, lung homogenates (0.1 g), sorted endothelial cells, and sorted epithelial cells. Single-cell suspensions from lung and liver were stained with CD31-PE (BioLegend) and EPCAM-APC (BioLegend). Endothelial cells and epithelial cells were sorted using Sony SH800 Cell Sorter (100,000 cells). All tissue samples and cells were lysed in 1× RIPA buffer to allow release of G-CSF from cells. These lysates were spun at 10,000 × g for 10 min. Supernatant was used in G-CSF protein quantification at least in duplicates. ELISA kits used could detect G-CSF levels as low as 1 pg/mL.

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.
