Human bronchial epithelial 16HBE14 cells (Gruenert et al., 1988 (link)), kindly provided by Dr. Kirsten Spann (Queensland University of Technology), were seeded in Minimal Essential Medium (MEM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (sMEM) at an approximate density of 2 105 cells/ml into 24-well culture dishes (Greiner Bio-One, Kremsmünster, Austria) (1 ml/well) for adherence and invasion assays or into 175-cm2 flasks (Corning, Tewksbury, MA, United States) (40 ml/flask) for maintenance. Confluent 16HBE14 monolayers were washed once with prewarmed sMEM and then infected with Hi2019WT, Hi2019ΔdmsA, or Hi2019ΔdmsA_c diluted in sMEM to 2 107 bacteria/ml, giving a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 1:100 (epithelial cells: bacteria). Bacterial adherence and invasion were determined as described previously (Dhouib et al., 2015 (link), 2016 (link)). Determination of intracellular bacteria used a standard gentamicin-protection assay (St Geme and Falkow, 1990 (link)). In brief, infected cells were washed to removed planktonic and loosely adherent bacteria and incubated for 1 h in sMEM containing 50 μg/ml gentamicin followed by saponin lysis and serial dilution for determination of bacterial CFU present. Assays used at least three biological replicates; replicate experiments were carried out on different days.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMCSs) were isolated from fresh bone marrow aspirate (Lonza, Walkersville, MD, USA) obtained from a single healthy, non-smoking male donor. Whole bone marrow cell isolate was plated at a density of 200,000 cells/cm2 in 175 cm2 flasks (Corning, Corning NY, USA). Dulbecco’s modified eagle medium (DMEM) with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 0.1 mM non-essential amino acids, 1 ng/mL, 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 mg/mL streptomycin, and 0.25 ng/mL fungizone (Gibco, Grand Island, NY, USA) was used for expansion. Flasks containing a total volume of 20 mL were cultured in a humidified incubator at 37°C, 5% CO 2, and low oxygen (5%), and rocked daily to keep hemopoietic cells in suspension and allow stromal cells to adhere to the flask. The adherent cells were allowed to reach 90% confluence at which point they were trypsinized, suspended in FBS containing 10% DMSO, frozen at −80°C, and later stored in liquid nitrogen. Prior to experimentation, cells were thawed, re-plated, and passaged one more time before use.

BeWo (ATCC CCL-98), a human placental trophoblast cell line (Pattillo and Gey 1968 (link)) and K-562 (ATCC CCL-243), a hematopoietic stem cell line (Lozzio and Lozzio 1975 (link)), were purchased from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA). Cells used in experiments were within twenty passage numbers from arrival into the laboratory and were routinely verified by their short tandem repeat profiles using fragment analysis (ABI 3730XL DNA Analyzer, Applied Biosystems, Waltham, MA) at the University of Michigan Advanced Genomics Core. Unless otherwise noted, all media were supplemented with 10% (v/v) HI-FBS and 1% (v/v) of 10,000 U/mL P/S. IMDM and F12-K Nutrient Mixture Kaighn’s Modification with (+) L Glutamine were used as the media for culturing for K-562 cells and BeWo cells, respectively. All cells were plated at a 100,000 cells/mL in 25 mL of media in 175 cm2 flasks (Corning Inc., Corning, NY) and subcultured at 70–80% confluence. Unlike BeWo cells, K-562 cells are suspension cells and do not require 0.25% trypsin-EDTA for detachment in subculture. Cell cultures were maintained in a 5% CO2, 37°C controlled and humidified incubator. This work with human cell cultures was approved by the University of Michigan Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBCA00000100).

Primary cultures of mixed murine glial cells were prepared as previously described using a modified protocol.38 ,48 (link) Briefly, brains from C57/BL6 P2 neonatal pups (purchased from Charles River, Saffron Walden, United Kingdom) were extracted, rolled across sterile filter paper to remove vasculature and meninges, and were mechanically dissociated. Cells were resuspended in 40 mL per 175 cm2 flask (Corning, Amsterdam, Netherlands) and were maintained in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% penicillin–streptomycin (Invitrogen, Sigma Aldrich, Gillingham, United Kingdom) and incubated at 37°C (5% CO2/95% O2). A week later, 5 ng/mL of murine GM-CSF (R&D systems, Abingdon, United Kingdom) in fresh media was added to the flasks to expand yields, and the cells were maintained for a further week.48 (link)Microglia were harvested by overnight shaking in an orbital shaker incubator (37°C, 180 rev/min), and the supernatant was collected from the flasks to obtain the dissociated microglia. Trypsin was subsequently added to lift the astrocytic layer. Microglia and astrocytes cells were plated as required for further experiments.

The isolation
and assays were
performed similarly to that previously described.62 (link),63 (link) In brief, cells were grown to confluency with complete medium in
a 175 cm2 flask (Corning) before growth media was removed
and replaced with serum-free DMEM for 2 h. To neutralize endosomes
prior to lysis, FCCP was added to the cellular media to reach a final
concentration of 1 μM. Cells were incubated with FCCP for 15
min before cells were scrapped from the plate and pelleted at 1000g for 5 min. The media was discarded and cells were resuspended
in HEK assay buffer (20 mM HEPES, 5 mM glucose, 50 mM sucrose, 50
mM KCl, 90 mM potassium gluconate, 1 mM EGTA, Pierce protease inhibitor
mini tablet, pH = 7.4) and were then lysed by passage through a 22
gauge needle 10–15 times. Lysates were then centrifuged at
10,000g for 30 s with a Beckman Coulter Microfuge
22R centrifuge. The supernatant was removed and centrifuged at 14,500g for 20 min. The remaining supernatant was discarded, and
the pellet was resuspended in HEK assay buffer.
