B16-F1 (Riken BRC, Ibaraki, Japan) cells were grown in D-MEM (High Glucose, 043-30085, FUJIFILM Wako, Osaka, Japan) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). RAW 264.7 (Riken BRC) cells were grown in MEM (Minimum Essential Medium Eagle, M4655, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) containing 10% FBS. BMDCs were generated as described previously (Kanemaru et al., 2017 (link)). Briefly, mouse bone marrow cells were obtained from femurs and differentiated into DCs in MEM with 10% FBS containing 10 ng/ml granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF; Prospec, East Brunswick, NJ, USA). Medium was replaced with fresh medium containing GM-CSF every two days. On day 6, cells were collected. BMDMs were also generated as described previously (Kanemaru et al., 2017 (link)). Bone marrow cells were obtained and incubated in MEM with 10% FBS containing 3 ng/ml macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF, PeproTech, Rocky Hill, NJ, USA). Medium was changed on day 3. On day 5, macrophages were harvested. BMDCs and BMDMs were stimulated with LPS (100 ng/ml; LPS-SM ultrapure, InvivoGen, San Diego, CA, USA) and/or L-(+)-Lactic acid (Sigma-Aldrich), and/or sodium L-lactate (Sigma-Aldrich).

Trained Immunity in Monocytes

Following isolation, monocytes were counted and re-suspended in a Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI) 1640 medium supplemented with L-glutamine, penicillin, streptomycin and 10% autologous serum at a concentration of 1 million monocytes/ml. After a 1h resting phase, monocytes were stimulated with BCG or RPMI (negative control) in duplicate: one singlicate was used to study primary innate responses and supernatants were filtered and harvested after 24h for cytokine measurements and lactate measurements. The other singlicate was used to study trained immunity: After 24h, BCG was washed out with a calcium- and magnesium-free PBS [PBS(−)], medium was replenished, and BCG-trained or control monocytes were incubated at 37°C for 5 days with an interim medium replenishing step on Day 3 of culture. On Day 6, supernatants were collected and a second stimulus, lipopolysaccharide from Salmonella minnesota (LPS-SM Ultrapure, Invivogen; San Diego, CA) was added. After 24 h incubation, supernatants were harvested on Day 7 of culture for cytokine and lactate measurements (Figure 1).

Modulating B and T Cell Proliferation

Purified naive B cells labeled with CFSE, CTV, or eFluor670 cell proliferation dyes were cultured in lipopolysaccharide (LPS-SM ultrapure; Invivogen; 10–25 μg/mL) in 48 well plates at 2.5 × 105 cells/mL of culture media in a 37 °C humidified environment with 5% CO2. To activate CD8+ T cell in vitro, wild-type or P14+ CD8+ T cells were purified, labeled with cell proliferation dye and stimulated with immobilized anti-CD3 (5 μg/ml), soluble anti-CD28 (1 μg/ml) and recombinant IL-2 (30 IU), or by gp33 (1 μg/ml; Anaspec) peptide-loaded splenocytes, respectively. Memory CD8+ T cells were harvested at 120+ days after LCMV infection.
Small molecule inhibitors of PI3K (LY294002; Cell Signaling), pan-AKT (Triciribine; Cayman Chemical Company), mTOR (Rapamycin; Selleckchem), and FoxO1 (AS1842856; Calbiochem) were added to the cells at the time of activation. Mitochondria membrane potential was measured by incubating cells with MitoTracker CMXRos red-fluorescent dye (Cell Signaling) for 30 minutes followed by washing cells three times with ice-cold culture media.

Primary Hippocampal Neuron Culture and Stimulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary hippocampal neurons were prepared for culturing, as previously described. 20 Briefly, the hippocampi were dissected and dissociated from 18-day-old fetal mice. Dissociated hippocampal neurons were plated on poly-Lornithine (Sigma) coated 6-well plates with 2% B27 (Invitrogen, San Diego, CA) and 2 mmol/L L-glutamine (Nacalai) in Neurobasal medium (Invitrogen). Two days later, 10 mmol/L cytosine arabinoside (Nacalai) was added to inhibit nonneuronal growth. After 14 days, hippocampal neurons were stimulated with 1 mg/mL Pam3CSK4 (Invivogen) and 1 mg/mL LPS-SM Ultrapure (Invivogen) in the presence (50 ng/mL, 5 mg/mL) or absence of HA4 for 6 hours on day 14.

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.
