Bryostatin-1 is a naturally occurring compound isolated from the marine bryozoan Bugula neritina. It is a complex macrocyclic lactone that has been extensively studied for its potential therapeutic applications. Bryostatin-1 has been shown to modulate the activity of protein kinase C, a key regulator of cellular processes. The core function of Bryostatin-1 is to serve as a research tool for studying cellular signaling pathways and their potential therapeutic implications.

Autologous bulk CD8 + and CD4 + T cells were freshly isolated from PBMCs from elite suppressors as described above (“Primary Cell Isolation”) for a modified version of a previously described HIV suppression assay (Buckheit et al., 2012 (link)). CD8 + T cells were treated for six hours in non-stimulating media (RPMI 1640 + Glutamax, 10% FBS) with either nothing, DMSO, romidepsin (40 nM), JQ1 (1 μM; Sigma Aldrich), vorinostat (335 nM), panobinostat (30 nM), bryostatin-1 at three concentrations (10 nM, 1 nM, 0.1 nM), or prostratin at two concentrations (1 μM, 0.3 μM; Sigma Aldrich) alone or in the combinations of romidepsin and bryostatin-1, romidepsin and prostratin, or bryostatin-1 and JQ1 at those concentrations. Meanwhile, the bulk CD4 + T cells were spinoculated at 1200 × g for two hours at 37 °C with HIV-1NL4 − 3 ∆ Env − GFP, a replication incompetent lab strain pseudovirus with env replaced with gfp and whose expression is controlled by the HIV promoter. At the conclusion of the six-hour drug treatments, the drug was washed from the CD8 + T cells before the cells were added in a 1:1 effector:target ratio to the spinoculated CD4 + T cells. The cells co-cultured in nonstimulating media (RPMI 1640 + Glutamax, 10% FBS) were incubated for three days prior to FACS analysis.

The HIV-1 latently infected T7 or the uninfected THP1 monocytic cell lines were transfected with 10 ng/ml poly(I:C) (Sigma-Aldrich) in 12 well plates using lipofectamine3000 (Thermo), according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Ranganath et al., 2016 (link)). Bryostatin-1 (Sigma-Aldrich) at a final concentration of 25 ng/ml was included in the medium of T7 cells immediately after poly(I:C) transfection, followed by the addition of 10 μM of the protease inhibitor indinavir (Sigma-Aldrich) in respective wells. The cells were incubated in 5% CO2 at 37°C. After 48 h of incubation, mRNA was extracted from cells using RNeasy mini kit (QIAGEN). The amount and purity of the mRNA was assessed using NanoDrop One (Thermo Scientific) and stored at −80±C until further use. Reverse transcription was performed using ReverTra Ace qPCR-RT kit (TOYOBO). PCR reagents were purchased from Takara and the primers for IFNβ1 and ISG15 were obtained from Eurofins with the following sequences; IFNβ1 Fwd: GTCAGAGTGGAAATCCTAAG and IFNβ1 Rev: ACAGCATCTGCTGGTTGAAG (Hu et al., 2010 (link)) and ISG15 Fwd: CTCTGAGCATCCTGGTGAGGAA and ISG15 Rev: AAGGTCAGCCAGAACAGGTCGT (Matsunaga et al., 2020 (link)). The expression of genes was quantified using CFX96TM Real-time system (Bio-Rad) and normalized against the expression of β-actin in the corresponding cells.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Pmel-1 mice were inoculated in the hind footpads with 1×106 B16-GMCSF cells. Ten days after footpad vaccination, popliteal tumor draining lymph nodes (DLN) were harvested under sterile conditions. DLNs were harvested and dispersed into single cell suspensions in complete RPMI media at 1×106 cells/ ml. The cells were then activated by incubation with 5 nM Bryostatin 1 (provided by Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) and 1 µM Ionomycin (Calbiochem, San Diego, CA) (B/I), and 80 U/ml of rIL-2 (Peprotech, Rocky Hill, NJ) at 37°C for 18 h. Cells were then washed three times with warm complete RPMI and resuspended at 1–2×106 cells/ml with either 40 U/ml of rIL- 2 or IL-7 + IL-15, each at 10 ng/ml. The cells were allowed to proliferate in culture for an additional 6 days and were split every 2–3 days in order to maintain 1x106 cells/ml concentration. Additional cytokine at the above doses were also added when cells were split. Our previous work with this activation strategy has demonstrated that almost all remaining cells in culture after exposure to B/I and subsequently to cytokines are T cells.

CD8+ T-cell Activation Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Latency model cells were obtained at day 17 of the experimental timeline shown in Fig 2A (immediately after depletion of productively-infected cells). These were pulsed for 2 hours with 10 nM bryostatin-1 (Sigma) in R-10, or maintained as unstimulated controls under matched conditions. Stimulated and unstimulated cells were then washed 4x with 14 ml R-10 (to remove bryostatin) and placed in R-10 for an additional 8 hours. HIV-specific CD8+ T-cells clones autologous to these targets were generated as described above. These were washed 3x with 14 ml R-10 and then co-cultured with target cells at a ratio of ~1:1 in R10 + 50 U/ml IL-2 + 1 μg/ml Brefeldin A + 1 μg/ml Monensin + 1/100 dilution of anti-CD107a-PE. Note that Brefeldin A is potent inhibitor of MHC-I antigen processing [37 (link)], thus antigen presentation profiles of target cells were arrested at this time point. Co-cultures were incubated at 37°C, 5% CO2 for 8 hours. Cells were then surface stained with amine-aqua viability dye (Life Technologies), anti-CD4 Pacific Blue (Biolegend), anti-CD8 AlexaFluor 700 (Biolegend), and anti-CD3 BV785 (Biolegend). Cells were then fixed in 2% paraformaldehyde and analyzed on a Fortessa flow cytometer (BD). Recognition of target cells by CD8+ T-cells was assessed by measuring CD107a (degranulation) within the viable (amine-aqua-) CD3+CD8+ population.

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.
