Murine VSMCs were isolated from the aorta by enzyme isolation as previously described (27 (link)). Cultures were trypsinized, followed by the addition of CD31-conjugated Dynabeads (Pharmingen) to the cell suspension and magnetic separation of endothelial cells (ECs) from VSMCs. Selectivity of recovered VSMC populations was highly specific based on detection of α-smooth muscle actin protein by FACS analysis in the VSMC cultures (Supplementary Figure 1). VSMCs at passage 2 to 10 were used for experiments. Murine VSMCs were grown in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Waltham, MA, USA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Thermo Fisher Scientific), penicillin (100 U/ml; Invitrogen Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA), and streptomycin sulfate (Invitrogen Life Technologies). Mouse bone marrow cells were prepared from the femur and tibia of 6-week old female mice and cultured with 30 ng/ml macrophage colony stimulation factor (M-CSF) (Peprotech, Rocky Hill, NJ, USA) for 3 days to prepare bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) as previously described (28 (link)). BMMs were grown in Minimal Essential Media (Thermo Fisher Scientific) supplemented with 10% FBS and 30 ng/ml M-CSF.

Mouse lung ECs were isolated as previously described23 (link). Klf2+/− mice (B6; 129S4-Klf2tm1.1Hhn/J, Stock# 026926) were obtained from The Jackson Laboratory. Briefly, lungs from three Klf2+/− or three Klf2+/+ mice were minced into pieces. The lung pieces were digested using pre-warmed (37 °C) type I collagenase (#9001-12-1, Gibco) in a cell incubator at 37 °C for 45 min. The cell suspension was then filtered and centrifuged at 1200 rpm. The precipitates were resuspended in PBS containing BSA and penicillin/streptomycin and added CD31 (BD Pharmingen™, #553370) coated Dynabeads™ (Invitrogen) to incubate on a rotor at room temperature for 15 min. The cells in EP tubes were put on Magnetic Separation Rack and washed with growth medium (DMEM + 20%FBS + penicillin/streptomycin + heparin) for 4 times. Cells were resuspended in growth medium and grown in 0.1% gelatin coated 6-well plate. When the cells approached confluence, CD102 (BD Pharmingen™, #553326) coated Dynabeads™ sorting were performed. Then, the isolated cells were used to do the experiments. All animal procedures conformed to the Guideline for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals published by the U.S. National Institutes of Health and were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of the University of Rochester Medical Center.

For preparing PBMCs, 10 ml of whole blood was drawn from each donor and separated by Ficoll gradient centrifugation. The PBMC layer was collected and washed twice with PBS. The isolation of CD8+ T cells from PBMCs was performed by negative selection using EasySep Human T-Cell Isolation Kit (StemCell Technologies, Canada). The examination of the ex vivo proliferation of isolated CD8+ T cells was based on labeling cells with eFluor670 proliferation tracer (eBioscience). The labelled cells were then stimulated with Dynabeads (Invitrogen) coated with anti-CD3 (BD Biosciences) in the presence and absence of different TLR agonists, or Dynabeads coated with anti-CD3 plus anti-CD28 (BD Biosciences) as a positive control. On day 7, the cells were analyzed by flow cytometry (BD LSRFortessa) and the percentage of proliferated cells was determined according to the eFluor670 dilution. To determine the dosage effect of TLR agonists, co-stimulation was carried out under three concentrations of 1 ng/ml, 10 ng/ml, and 100 ng/ml.

The primary mouse lung endothelial cells (MLEC) were isolated from a 10-week-old, female, Balb/c mice and were cultured as described elsewhere29 (link). Briefly, freshly isolated mouse lung was minced using autoclaved scissors, digested by collagenase I, and filtered through a 70-μm cell strainer. The cell suspension was incubated with anti-rat Dynabeads (Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, USA, 11035) conjugated with anti-mouse CD31 antibody (BD Biosciences, NJ, USA, 557355). Pooled cells were seeded in a 12-well-plate pre-coated with 0.1% gelatin. Upon reaching confluence, the cells were trypsinized and then incubated with anti-mouse ICAM-2 antibody (BD Biosciences, NJ, USA, 553326) conjugated Dynabeads. Pooled cells were seeded in 12-well-plates pre-coated with 0.1% gelatin. Harvested cells were assessed using tube formation assay, 1,1′-dioctadecyl-3,3,3′,3′-tetramethyl-indocarbocyanine perchlorate Low Density Lipoprotein (DiI-Ac-LDL) uptake, and CD31 gene expression (Fig. S4).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Lung tissues from three 7–10 day old mice were removed aseptically and rinsed in ice-cold DMEM. After removal of the larger blood vessels, the lungs were minced into ~1×2-mm squares and digested with 1.5mg/ml collagenase A (Roche), at 37°C for 45 minutes on a rotator. The cellular digest was filtered through sterile 70μm nylon mesh and the mesh washed with 15ml 10% FBS-DMEM media to stop digestion. Cells were centrifuged at 400xg for 10 minutes, resuspended in 0.1% BSA/PBS, incubated with anti-CD31-antibody (BD) coated Dynabeads (Invitrogrn), and then separated in a magnetic field. After washing away of unbound cells, remaining cells were seeded on 2% gelatin coated plates cultured with Endothelial cell medium (ScienCell). After 3–5 days, cells were separated again by anti-ICAM2 antibody (BD) coated Dynabeads. The cells were plated at a concentration of 300,000 cells/ml into gelatin-coated T-25 flasks, and subsequently split 1:2 at each passage. After 3 passages, cells were immortalized using lentivirus expressing SV40 large T antigen (Genecopoeia).
