Bone marrow cells were extracted from femurs and pelvises of euthanized mice, and single-cell suspensions were incubated for 3 min in ACK lysis buffer (0.15 M NH4Cl, 0.01 M KHCO3, and 0.1 mM EDTA [pH 7.2–7.4]) to remove erythrocytes. B cells were enriched by positive selection using anti-B220 mAbs coupled to magnetic beads (Miltenyi Biotec) and an AutoMACS (Miltenyi Biotec) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. B cell purity was consistently >95% based on B220 staining. Enriched B cells (or total bone marrow cells for experiments with ERK, AKT, and mTORC1 inhibitors) were cultured at 2 × 106 cells/ml at 37°C, 5% CO2, in complete IMDM (5% FBS, 1% GlutaMAX, 1% penicillin-streptomycin, 1% nonessential amino acids, 0.1 M 2-ME) for times indicated in the figure legends. The following inhibitors were added to the bone marrow B cell cultures: actinomycin D (0.1 μM; Sigma-Aldrich), afuresertib (5 μM; Sigma-Aldrich), bafilomycin (12 nM; Sigma-Aldrich), bortezomib (0.5 μM; Selleck Chemicals), cycloheximide (2 μM; Sigma-Aldrich), FR180204 (30 μM; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), and rapamycin (10 μM; EMD Millipore). The following Abs were added for B cell stimulation: anti-3–83Ig idiotypic Ab S23 (49 (link)) (produced in-house) at ≤10 μg/ml (as indicated in figures) and anti-IgM F(ab’)2 Abs (SouthernBiotech) at 5 μg/ml.

Human kidney proximal tubule cell line (HK-2) was purchased from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) and was maintained in RPMI1640 medium supplemented with 1% penicillin/streptomycin and 10% fetal bovine serum (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Waltham, MA, USA). Cells were incubated at 37 °C in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.). Cells (4 × 105) were seeded into a 6-cm dish (SPL Life Sciences., Pochun, South Korea) and incubated overnight at 37 °C in an atmosphere of 5% CO2. The medium was changed and etoposide (Sigma-Aldrich Co. LLC, St. Louis, MO, USA) was added as indicated. For MAPK inhibition experiments, cells were pre-treated for 1 hour with inhibitors of various signaling pathways: 10 μM SB203580 (p38MAPK inhibitor), 20 μM SP600125 (JNK inhibitor), 20 μM U0126 (inhibitors of MEK1 and MEK2, thus ERK) (Sigma-Aldrich Co. LLC), or 10 μM FR180204 (ERK 1/2 inhibitor) (Santa Cruz). For ROS inhibition experiments, cells were pre-treated with NAC or catalase (Sigma-Aldrich Co. LLC).

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.
