Viability of cells was detected using Guava ViaCount (Merck Millipore, MA, USA). Briefly, the cells were seeded at density of 5 × 104 cells per well in a 12-well plate. Following overnight serum starvation, the cells were treated with LPA for indicated concentration and time periods. At the end of the treatment, cells were washed with PBS, trypsinized, and equal amounts of serum containing medium was added. 50 µL of cell suspension was stained with 150 µL of Guava ViaCount reagent, incubated for 5 min at room temperature and measured using Guava easyCyte 8 Benchtop Flow Cytometer (Merck Millipore). Total viable and dead cells were analyzed.

Cell viability was quantified by Trypan Blue dye exclusion. Apoptotic nuclei were visualized and quantified by Hoechst 33342 dye using an Axiovert S100 Flfluorescence Microscope (Zeiss) equipped with a 40× oil objective (Zeiss) with excitation/emission at 350/535 nm. OCI-AML3 cells were subjected to Guava ViaCount (Millipore Sigma) to assess viable, dead, and apoptotic cell fractions and analyzed by flow cytometry. WEHI7.2 cells were subjected to dual staining with annexin-V and propidium iodide as previously described (4 (link)).

5 × 104 Huh7 cells were seeded in 6-well plates. After 24 h of culture, the first dose of aqueous M. oleifera extract (0, 30, 45, 60, 120, 250, and 500 μg/mL) was added and repeated two times every 24 h until cell viability was determined at 72 h with a Guava ViaCount (Guava Technologies) flow cytometer. The cell concentration of stained cells was between 1 × 104 and 5 × 105 cells/mL in accordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer.

Cell death was assessed by the Guava ViaCount® assay (Guava Technologies, Millipore Corp.), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. After incubation of SCFAs in self-renewal conditions, the cell-culture medium and adherent cells previously detached with StemPro Accutase (A11105-01; Gibco™) were collected and centrifuged for 5 min at 600g and re-suspended in PBS with 2% foetal bovine serum. Cell suspension was mixed with Guava ViaCount reagent and incubated for 20 min at RT. Sample acquisition was performed using Guava easyCyte 5HT flow cytometer (Guava Technologies).

Example 258

Frozen purified CLL cells were obtained from a commercial vendor (All Cells). Macrophages were polarized into M0 (MCSF) or M2 (MCSF, IL4 for 2 days). M0 or M2 polarized macrophages were plated into a 96 well tissue culture plate at the stated density in RPMI+10% FCS with their respective polarization factors. The CLL cells were plated in the tissue culture plate at 150 thousand cells per well with media or M0 or M2 macrophages. CLL cell viability over time was measured by Guava viacount (Millipore). Co-cultures of M2 macrophages with CLL cells led to extended CLL cell survival (FIG. 14). The result shows that M2 macrophage cells have an ability to protect CLL cells from cell death, that is enhanced over the protective effects of the M0 cells at 120 hours (data not shown).

The results indicate that PI3K-γ selective compounds can be used to treat CLL by potently inhibiting M2 activation and reducing survival of CLL cells. FIG. 15 is a schematic of the differentiation of myeloid progenitor cells and interactions between certain T cells. FIG. 16 illustrates differentiation of a myeloid cell into an M1 macrophage or M2 macrophage.

Pediatric Blood Sample Collection

At 4 years of age, 6-10 mls of whole blood was obtained from each subject in acid citrate dextrose tubes. In a subset of children (n=12) whole blood was also obtained at 5 years of age. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated by density gradient centrifugation (Ficoll-Histopaque; GE Life Sciences). PBMCs were cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen and shipped to our laboratory in San Francisco for evaluation. Analysis of cell viability using Guava Viacount (Millipore) consistently demonstrated >80% viability after thaw.

PBMC and Plasma Isolation from Blood

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
5 ml of blood was collected in BD Vacutainer EDTA coated tubes for PBMC
and plasma isolation purposes. After centrifuging at 400g for 10 min without
braking, the plasma layer was removed and frozen at -80°C for ELISA
quantification. The cellular fraction from the first spin was used to isolate
PBMC by centrifugation over a ficoll-paque (GE Healthcare, Uppsala, Sweden)
layer at 800g for 25 min without braking. The PBMC layer was then removed and
washed twice in RPMI with L-glutamine, Penicillin/Streptomycin, Hepes, and
10% Fetal bovine serum (referred now on as R-10) at 400g for 10 min with
braking. GALT from rectosigmoid biopsy specimens were placed on a shaking
incubator at 37°C with a digestion mix of RPMI with
+L-glutamine, Hepes, Penicillin/Streptomycin, and Collagenase Type II
(0.25mg/ml) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). After one digestion of 30
minutes, sample was strained through a 70 uM cell strainer and washed through
with cold R-10. Undigested biopsies were transferred into the collagenase
digestion mix for repeat digestion of 30 min. Strained and digested biopsies
were washed in R-10 and spun down at 700g for 6 minutes at 4°C to
isolate the RMC. PBMCs and RMCs were then re-suspended and counted using Guava
Viacount (Millipore, Brillerica, MA, USA) on the Accuri C6 (BD Biosciences, San
Jose, CA, 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.
