HTLA
cells, HEK293 cells stably expressing a tTA-dependent luciferase reporter,
and a β-arrestin-TEV protease fusion gene (kindly provided by
Brian Roth) were maintained in DMEM (Sigma-Aldrich, D6492), supplemented
with 10% FBS (Sigma-Aldrich, F9665), 2 μg mL–1 puromycin (58-58-2, ≥98%, Invitrogen), and 100 μg mL–1 hygromycin (31282-04-9, ≥98%, Invitrogen).
Cells were split 1:5 when confluency reached 70% and discarded after
passage 10. All GPCR plasmids originated from a Roth lab PRESTO-Tango
kit (Addgene, Kit #1000000068) as E. coli glycerol stocks. Each stock was individually cultured, and plasmids
were isolated via minipreps (Promega, A1330). Each GPCR plasmid concentration
was quantified (Nanodrop, One/Onec microvolume UV–vis
spectrophotometer, ND-ONE-W, Thermo Scientific) and had a 260/280
ratio of 1.7–1.9, a 260/230 ratio of ≥1.8, and concentrations
of ≥100 ng/μL. Plasmid stocks for each GPCR were then
diluted for a final concentration of 50 ng μL–1.

A bacterial suspension in a phosphate-buffered solution (PBS) (product no. 20-012-027, Fisher Scientific, Hampton, NH, USA) was prepared every day from a solid agar plate incubated for 24 h. The concentration of the suspension was measured using a spectrophotometer (model no. ND-ONE-W, Thermo Fisher), and the suspension was then diluted in PBS to a final concentration of 1–200 CFU per 0.1 mL. One hundred microlitres of the diluted suspension was spread on a CHROMagar™ ECC plate using an L-shaped spreader (product no. 14-665-230, Fisher Scientific, Hampton, NH, USA). The plate was covered with its lid, inverted, and incubated at 37 °C in our optical platform (Fig. 2).

Nanostring-based Immune Profiling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was extracted as described above. RNA concentrations were quantified and evaluated for purity using a nanodrop spectrophotometer (Thermofisher, # ND-ONE-W). For immune profiling we utilized Nanostring’s 770-gene Mouse nCounter® PanCancer Immune Profiling Panel. Reporter codesets were thawed at room temperature and subsequently mixed with 70 μL of hybridization buffer to form a master mix. From this master mix, 8 μL was aliquoted into PCR tubes. RNA samples were normalized to 10 ng/uL and 5 μL from each sample was added into the PCR tubes. Next, 2uL of Capture probeset was added to each tube. The reaction mixture was then gently mixed, spun down, and loaded into a prewarmed 65°C thermocycler with a heated lid set to 70°C. Samples were allowed to hybridize for 16–20 hours, after which they were immediately placed on ice. At this time, a SPRINT cartridge was thawed and allowed to equilibrate to RT. Samples were then individually loaded into the cartridge and inserted into the NanoString nCounter SPRINT Profiler machine (NanoString nCounter Analysis System, RRID:SCR_021712). Raw data was analyzed using NanoString nSolver 4.0. mRNA counts were processed to account for hybridization efficiency, background noise, and sample content, and were normalized using the geometric mean of housekeeping genes.

Whole Genome Sequencing of NCOR1/2 DKO Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To perform whole genome sequencing, we harvested bone marrow from two wildtype and three NCOR1/2 DKO mice (both males and females that ranged between 7–9 weeks). We flow sorted 300,000 CD19+B220+ B cells from each sample; CD19+B220+ B cells were subject to DNA isolation using a DNA extraction kit (11796828001, Roche). Nucleic acid quantification was performed using both a nanodrop (ND-ONE-W, ThermoFisher) and Quanti-iT PicoGreen dsDNA assay kit (P11496, ThermoFisher). Library preparation for whole genome sequencing was performed using the TruSeq Nano DNA kit (20015964, Illumina). Sequencing was performed on a NovaSeq 6000 with 2×150 bp paired-end reads (Illumina).

Microfluidic Lysozyme Crystallization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Lysozyme solution was prepared
by dissolving an appropriate amount of lysozyme into 100 mM acetate
buffer at pH 4.5. The protein concentration was measured using a NanoDrop
instrument (ND-ONE-W, Thermo Scientific, Tokyo, Japan) and adjusted
to 80 mg/mL. A precipitant solution of 1.4 M sodium chloride in 100
mM acetate buffer (pH 4.5) was prepared. Lysozyme and precipitant
solutions were filtered through 0.2 μm syringe filters (Minisart
RC4 or RC25, Sartorius Stedim Biotech, Gottingen, Germany). Equal
volumes of both solutions were mixed to prepare the crystallization
solution, which was then pipetted onto the inlet of the microfluidic
device (Figure 1d).
The crystallization solution was introduced into the microfluidic
device using a vacuum pump; after loading into the microwells, inlets
of the fluidic and control channels were sealed with a Crystal Clear
sealing tape (HR-3-511, Hampton Research, Aliso Viejo, CA, USA). Microfluidic
devices were incubated at 20 °C in an incubator (MIR-154-PJ,
Panasonic, Osaka, Japan). Any protein crystals that formed in the
microwells were observed on an optical microscope (ECLIPSE Ti-U, Nikon,
Tokyo, Japan).

L5-L6 DNA was extracted again, using DNeasy UltraClean 96 Microbial Kit [Qiagen, Hilden, Germany]. A Nanodrop device [ND-ONE-W] was used to control purity and concentration for each sample [Thermofisher, Waltham, USA]. The Qiagen kit allows to obtain good quality purified DNA as assessed by a 280/260 and 260/230 ratio close to 2 and the concentration of the DNA was sufficient to perform library preparation on some samples [concentration 100 ng/μl].Samples were prepared for further sequencing. Library was produced using the Nextera XT DNA Library Preparation kit [Illumina, San Diego, USA]- with a control of the fragment size on a 2100 Bioanalyzer Instrument [Thermofisher, Waltham, USA]. Sequencing was performed using the Miniseq High Output Kit [Illumina, San Diego, USA] generating paired-end reads of 150 bp. Quality of reads was then analyzed by fastqc and a combination of web-based analysis (TB-Profiler) (available at https://tbdr.lshtm.ac.uk) or through a proprietary pipeline (TB-Annotator)[16 ].

In this assay, the Bacteria Total RNA Isolation Kit (B518625) was obtained from Sangon Biotech (Shanghai, China) and applied to isolate a total RNA sample from treated MRSA N315 bacteria, and then the concentration of RNA sample was detected using the spectrophotometer (ND-ONE-W, ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, Massachusetts, USA). For the RT-PCR analysis of hlaA, the RT-PCR reaction mix solution (including Abstract Taq, one-step RT-PCR buffer, solution I, hlaA primer, RNA, and RNase-free H2O) was prepared with the help of one-Step RT-PCR Mix (B110025, Sangon Biotech, Shanghai, China), and then was performed on the RT-PCR system (ABI7700, Applied Biosystems, Carlsbad, California, USA). Ultimately, the hlaA gene expression was analyzed using the 2−ΔΔct method, and 16S rRNA gene (16S) was used as an endogenous control [24 (link)]. The sequence of primers of hlaA and 16S is itemized in Table 1.

Quantifying Viral RNA in Bee Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To estimate reaction efficiency, DNA templates were in vitro transcribed with the HiScribe T7 Quick High Yield RNA synthesis kit (NEB, E2040S) according to the manufacturer’s instruction. 100 ng of RNA was used as template for cDNA synthesis using the Superscript IV VILO kit (ThermoFisher #11756050) and 10x serial dilutions were performed and ran alongside samples being tested to establish standard curves. The equation of the slope for each standard curve was used to establish the correlation between Ct values and viral copy number per µL. A Ct of 38 was used as the standard cut-off for all positive reactions.
Extracted RNAs (whole bees or viral aliquots) were quantified using a nanodrop (ThermoFisher, #ND-ONE-W), diluted in RNase-free water and 100 ng RNA input was used for cDNA synthesis. For RT-qPCR setup, PowerUP SYBR green master mix (ThermoFisher #25742) and appropriate primer sets (Supplementary Data 1) were prepared for 10 µL total reactions in a 384-well plate format, with 2 µL of cDNA input, or controls, added to each well. Real-time PCR was performed on a Bio-Rad CFX-384 system with standard cycling and melt curve analysis. Ct of 38 was used as the standard cutoff.
