Murine Bone Marrow-Derived Macrophage Generation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
BMDMs were generated by collecting femur and tibia from the hind legs of 6- to 8-week-old CD1 male mice (Charles River). Muscles attached to bones were removed using sterile scissors and forceps. Bone marrow was isolated by flushing the marrow into a sterile 50-mL tube with a syringe filled with RPMI 1640 medium. Upon centrifugation at 2,000 rpm for 5 min, cells were resuspended in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS, macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF; 20 ng/mL; StemCell Technologies), 2% penicillin/streptomycin, and 2 mM l-glutamine (Gibco). Subsequently, the cells were plated on 90-mm nontissue culture-treated plates at a density of 5 × 106 cells/mL and incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere. Three days after cell seeding, an extra 10 mL of fresh RPMI 1640 (supplemented with 10% FBS, M-CSF [20 ng/mL], 2% penicillin/streptomycin, and 2 mM l-glutamine) was added to each plate, and incubation continued for an additional 3 days. On the sixth day, supernatants were discarded. The attached cells were resuspended in RPMI 1640 after being dislodged by trypsin-EDTA. Finally, the cells were counted, and approximately 1.5 × 106 cells were seeded in tissue culture plates for 24 h before the experimental procedure. The culture medium was replaced by RPMI 1640 growth medium with 10% FBS.

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from human blood using Ficoll-Paque (GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL, USA). Human monocyte-derived macrophages were purified by positive selection of CD14 and CD16 cells from the PBMCs using MACS Microbeads from Miltenyi Biotec (Leiden, Netherlands), following the manufacturer's protocol. The isolated monocytes were then induced with 20 ng/mL of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, USA) in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (STEMCELL Technologies), 100 U/mL of penicillin/streptomycin (Thermo Fisher Scientific), 10 mM Glutamax, and 10 mM pyruvate. Mouse alveolar macrophages (AMs) and bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were isolated from control mice as previously describe [39 (link), 40 (link)] and cultured in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal calf serum and 2 mM glutamine with penicillin (100 U/mL)/streptomycin (100 mg/mL) and M-CSF (10 ng/mL, Sino Biological, 51112-M08H). The cells were grown in 96-well plates (200 μL final volume; Corning Inc., Corning, NY, USA) and incubated at 37 °C in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2.

Example 17

Total nucleated cells are isolated from a unit of cord blood by Hetastarch separation. Total nucleated placental cells are obtained from 750 milliliters of placental perfusate by Ficoll separation. The total nucleated cells from placenta and cord blood are combined in triplicate in 35 mm culture dishes in Methocult GF+ H4435 medium (Stem Cell Technologies, Vancouver, Canada), or RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 2% fetal calf serum and 1% Stemspan CC100 cytokine cocktail (Stem Cell Technologies, Vancouver, Canada). Cells are combined in at least two ratios (e.g., 2×105:2×105; 1×105:3×105; 3×105:1×105), and are cultured for 14 days. The morphology of the cells is then examined under phase contrast microscope, and the total number of colony-forming units (e.g., CFU-GM, CFU-L, CFU-M, CFU-G, CFU-DC, CFU-GEMM, CFU-E) are recorded. A determination is then made as to which ratio produces the highest number of colony-forming units.

RMG1 cells were cultivated in RPMI-1640 medium (Stemcell technologies) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Life Technologies) in 5% CO2 at 37°C. ARID1A was knocked out in RMG1 cells using CRISPR/cas9 technology with gRNA targeting exon 2 of ARID1A gene (5’-CTTGCTGCGGTCCTGACGGAGG-3’). Targeted sequencing with Illumina MiSeq confirmed homozygous deletion (c.1615 del C) in RMG1_AC14 ARID1A knockout single clone. For RNA interference, cells were transfected with siGENOME-SMARTpool siRNAs from Dharmacon (Non-targeting siRNA Pool #1 as si-Cont and si-ARID1A, catalog #D-001206-13 and #M-017263-01). Transfections were done with Dharmafect1 transfection reagent (Dharmacon) according to manufacturer’s protocol and harvested 48 hours after the siRNA administration. For experiments with overexpression of GFP or nuclear-targeting GFP-RNaseH1 (gift from R. Crouch), transfections were performed with Lipofectamine 3000 (Invitrogen) according to manufacturer’s instructions 24 hours after the siRNA transfections. Detailed catalog number and dilution information for all antibodies used in the manuscript can be found in S2 Table.

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.
