The human embryonic kidney cell line
HEK-293FT (Thermo Scientific-Life Technologies, Waltham, MA, USA) was cultured in
DMEM (Thermo Scientific-Gibco, Grand Island, NY, USA) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated
fetal bovine serum (GIBCO) with 100 U/mL
penicillin and 100 µ/mL streptomycin at 37 °C in 5% CO
2. The HEK293FT cells were maintained with 500 μg/mL of
geneticin (SIGMA ALDRICH, St. Louis, MO, USA). The murine macrophage cell line
RAW264.7 (ATCC:TIB-71, American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, VA, USA) was cultured in
DMEM (GIBCO) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated
fetal bovine serum (GIBCO) with 100 U/mL
penicillin and 100 µ/mL streptomycin at 37 °C in 5% CO
2. The human monocytic leukemia cell line
THP-1 (ATCC:TIB202TM) was cultured in
RPMI (GIBCO) supplemented with 20% heat-inactivated
fetal bovine serum (GIBCO) with 100 U/mL
penicillin and 100 mg/mL streptomycin at 37 °C in 5% CO
2.
Murine primary macrophages were thioglycollate-elicited and removed from wild-type (WT) or TLR4-knockout (KO) C57BL/6 mice by peritoneal washing. Primary macrophages were dispensed into 6-well plates at a 2 × 10
6 concentration for 1 hour to allow cells to adhere. Adherent cells were cultured for an additional 24 hours in
DMEM.
