Modulation of CD4+ T Cell Differentiation by MSCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CD4+ T cells were isolated from healthy donors' PBMCs by human CD4 microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec) and resuspended in complete 1640 medium in the presence of anti-CD3/CD28 antibodies (5 μg/mL), anti-IL4 antibody (10 μg/mL) (eBioscience), and anti-IFNγ antibody (10 μg/mL) (eBioscience). MSCs were cocultured with CD4+ T cells (1 : 10) in different culturing systems. For Treg induction, recombinant human TGF-β1 (5 ng/mL) (R&D Systems) and IL-2 (5 ng/mL) (Miltenyi Biotec) were added. For Th17 induction, recombinant human TGF-β1 (5 ng/mL), IL-6 (50 ng/mL) (Miltenyi Biotec), and IL-23 (10 ng/mL) (Miltenyi Biotec) were added. In some experiments anti-CCL2 antibody (R&D Systems) was added for neutralization. After coculture for 5 days, floating cells were used to examine Treg and Th17 cell percentages by flow cytometry, and culture supernatant was collected for measuring IL-17A levels by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits (Biolegend). The adherent MSCs were also collected for measuring the gene expression of transforming growth factor- (TGF-) β1, indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), interleukin- (IL-) 6, and chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2) by real-time PCR.

Immortalization of Fibroblasts and ADC-TAFs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Control fibroblasts and ADC-TAFs from randomly selected patients (#5, #13, #37) were immortalised with hTERT as reported [9 (link)]. Unless otherwise indicated, all fibroblast experiments were performed in culture medium containing serum-free high-glucose (4.5 g/l) DMEM supplemented with 1% insulin–transferrin–selenium (ITS) and antibiotics as described [10 (link)]. In some experiments, fibroblasts were stimulated with 2.5 ng/ml recombinant human TGF-β1 (Miltenyi Biotec) at different time points as indicated, which is similar to the average TGF-β1 concentration reported in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of lung cancer patients [21 (link)].

Induction of Regulatory T Cells from Thymocytes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
iTregs were generated as previously described [11] (link), [12] (link). Briefly, CD4 single-positive thymocytes were sorted from 6–8-wk-old TxA23 TCR transgenic mice and stimulated with plate-bound anti-CD3 (1 µg/ml) and anti-CD28 (2 µg/ml) (BD Pharmingen) in 24-well plates (2.5×105 cells/well) in 2 ml complete RPMI media (modified RPMI 1640 supplemented by 10% FBS, 2 mM glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 mg/ml streptomycin, 10 mM HEPES, 4×10−7 M 2-ME, 1 mM essential amino acids, and 1 mM sodium pyruvate; all from Sigma Aldrich, MO) supplemented with recombinant human IL-2 (100 U/ml). Recombinant human TGF-β1 (Miltenyi Biotech, Auburn, CA) (5 ng/ml) was added to induce iTregs. Cells were removed from plate-bound antibodies after 48 hours and added to new wells with fresh media supplemented with 100 U/ml recombinant human IL-2. Cells were used after 7 days in culture. The proportion of cells expressing Foxp3 after 7 days of culture was typically 60–80%.

Cells were reverse-transfected using Lipofectamine™ RNAiMAX transfection reagent (ThermoFisher Scientific) with non-targeting siRNA (#4390846; Dharmacon), siRNA targeting human ELOVL5 (#s34075; Dharmacon), mouse ELOVL5 (#s87101; Dharmacon) or human smad2 (#s8397; Dharmacon) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Treatments with 10 µM A922500 (Sigma-Aldrich), 10 µM PF-06424439 (Sigma-Aldrich), 1 µM LY2157299 (Selleck) and 1 µM LY2109761 (Sigma-Aldrich) were performed in complete culture medium. Breast cancer cells were incubated with 5 ng/ml recombinant human TGF-β1 (Miltenyi Biotec) in complete cell culture medium for the indicated times.

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.
