For further insight, the effects of polyI:C, DEP, or rIL-23 treatment were assessed using a mouse lung epithelial cell line. MLE12 cells (SV40-transformed mouse-derived alveolar epithelial cell line; American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, VA, USA) were grown in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium:Ham’s F-12 with 2% fetal bovine serum in a humidified atmosphere at 37 °C with 5% CO2; the cells were then stimulated with different doses of polyI:C (0.01 or 50 μg/mL) or different doses of DEPs (0.01 or 0.1 μg/mL), with or without anti-IL-23p19 antibodies (0.05 μg/mL), for 24 h. The effects of different doses of rIL-23 (0.002 and 0.01 μg/mL) on MLE12 cells were also evaluated. Levels of cytosolic IL-23, nuclear IL-33, and cytosolic TSLP were determined using ELISA (Nuclear/Cytosol Fractionation Kit [NE-PER], Pierce Biotechnology, Rockford, IL, USA).

Mouse lung epithelial cells (MLE12 cells) were obtained from ATCC (Manassas, VA, USA). Real-time PCR was performed using an iCycler™ (Bio-Rad, Hercules, California, USA) to determine the levels of CCL17 (thymus and activation-regulated chemokine, TARC), CCL22 (macrophage-derived chemokine, MDC), CCL11 (eotaxin), thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), and IL-25 mRNA. GAPDH was used as an internal reference. Primers and PCR conditions have been described previously [30] (link)–[32] (link).

HBEC-3KT (obtained from ATCC) and HBEC3KT-KP cells with KRASG12V expressing (/K) ± p53 shRNA downregulated (/P; a gift from Drs. John Minna and Jerry Shay; ref. 16 (link)) were cultured as described (10 (link)). HBEC3KT-KP cells were authenticated via Western immunoblotting and qPCR for p53 and KRASG12V. MLE12 cells (obtained from ATCC) were cultured as described (17 (link)). These cell lines were transduced with pLEX304-eGFP, –wild-type (WT) C9b, or -AT/GG Mut C9b lentivirus treated with 8 μg/mL polybrene (Sigma) and selected with blasticidin. MLE12/K and HBEC-3KT/K cells are generated by transducing cells with pLenti6-KRASG12V (Addgene). Plate colony formation assays (cell survival) and soft agar colony formation assays (AIG) were undertaken as described (7 (link)). All cell lines were used within 6 passages from receipt and thawing. Cell lines were tested every 2 months for Mycoplasma (Universal Mycoplasma Detection Kit, ATCC) throughout the study starting 2 months after thawing cells received from ATCC and immediately for other cell lines herein described. Parental cell lines were authenticated by short tandem repeat profiling. Cells were treated with Bay 11-7082 (Sigma, 0–10 μmol/L range) at the indicated doses.

Primary mouse lung fibroblasts were obtained using a digestion method. Mice were anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital, and their hearts were lavaged with pre-chilled PBS. Lung tissues were then excised, placed in pre-chilled PBS, and cut into 1–2 cm2 pieces. The lung tissue was digested in DMEM digestion medium containing 1 mg/mL collagenase I at 37 °C for 1 h. Following digestion, cells were passed through 70 and 40 μm cell filters, centrifuged, and resuspended in a DMEM high-glucose medium supplemented with 20% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Sigma-Aldrich) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Gibco, Grand Island, NY, USA). Cells were cultured at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2. The identification of primary fibroblasts was confirmed using Vimentin staining (Supplementary Figure S1).
MLE12 cells (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) were cultured at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2 using complete medium containing 10% FBS (Gibco) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Procell Life Science & Technology, Wuhan, China). MLE12 cells were seeded into a 12-well plate (1 × 105 cells per well) and cultured for 24 h until the cell density reached 60%. The cells were then stimulated with H2O2 (100 μM, Sigma-Aldrich, USA) for 2 h, followed by washing twice with PBS, and further incubated with fresh medium (with or without CCG) for 72 h.

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.
