Target cell lines were selected to model the anatomic site of initial particle-cell interactions following deposition in the terminal bronchioles [24 (link)]; BEAS-2B lung bronchial epithelial cells and THP-1 human monocytic cells were selected because they have been widely used for nanotoxicology assays using harmonized exposure protocols [44 (link)]. BEAS-2B immortalized human lung bronchial epithelial cells (ATCC, Manassas, VA) were cultured in BEGM media with SingleQuots supplement kit (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland) at 37 °C in 5% CO2. THP-1 human monocytic cells (ATCC, Manassas, VA) were cultured using RPMI-1640 (Gibco) with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Atlanta Biologicals, Flowery Branch, GA) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin at 37 °C and 5% CO2 in 100 mm low-attachment cell cultures dishes. Prior to use, THP-1 cells were differentiated into macrophages with 10 nM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) (Fisher Scientific, Agawam, MA) for 72 h. IMR-90 human lung fibroblasts, generously provided by Dr. Anatoly Zhitkovich (Brown University, Providence, RI), were maintained using DMEM high glucose (Gibco) with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin at 37 °C in 5% low O2 conditions and 5% CO2. Cells were collected and washed in fresh medium prior to nanomaterial exposure. All cell lines were used before passage 20.

Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs, Clonetics) were cultured (105 cells/well, in 48-well plates) in complete EGM-2 medium (Clonetics) containing 20% FBS in the presence of oxLDL (50 μg/ml) and/or various concentrations of human cortistatin-14 for 24 hours. Moreover, HUVEC monolayers were extensively washed with EGM-2 medium and co-incubated with 104 calcein AM-labelled THP1 human monocytic cells (ATCC) for 1 hour. After extensive washing, the number of THP1 cells bound to HUVEC monolayer was determined in a fluorescence microscope.

To generate bone marrow-derived macrophages, mouse bone marrow monocytes were isolated from C C57BL/6J and TLR2−/− (B6.129-Tlr2tm1Kir/J) mice (Jackson Laboratories) and cultured in L929 medium, a source of macrophage colony-stimulating factor, for 7 days 49 (link). Human primary peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC; Precision for Medicine, Frederick, MD) were cultured in RPMI-1640 media supplemented with 20ng/mL of recombinant human M-CSF. THP-1 human monocytic cells (ATCC) were differentiated with 5 ng/ml of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate as described50 . Cells were infected with RV-A1B and RV-C15 at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 1.0 at 33°C. To study virus entry, human THP-1-derived macrophages and mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages were incubated with RV-A1B or RV-C15 for 1 hour and washed three times with PBS. Viral RNA and CDHR3 mRNA expression were quantified by qPCR (see below) and the presence of RV-C was examined by Western blot and immunofluorescence using anti-EV-D68 vp3. Late endosomes were visualized with anti-EEA1 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). Images were visualized using a Leica SP5 inverted laser confocal microscope (Buffalo Grove, IL).

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.
