Erythrocytes cells were depleted from
total mouse splenocytes using red blood cell lysis buffer (Sigma,
cat. R7757). Mouse lymphocytes were cultured in RPMI 1640 (cat. 11875;
Gibco) supplemented with 10% (v/v) inactivated FCS (Gibco), 0.0002%
β-mercaptoethanol final (Sigma, cat. M7522), penicillin 50 units
per liter–streptomycin 50 mg per liter (Sigma, cat. P4333),
1 mM sodium pyruvate final (Gibco, cat. 11360) nonessential amino
acids (Life Technologies, cat. 11140) and 2 mM glutamine (US Biological,
cat. G7120). HEK 293T cells were cultured in Dulbecco’s Modified
Eagle’s Medium supplemented with 10% (v/v) inactivated FBS
(Gibco). Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain W303 was
cultured in YPD medium. Toxoplasma gondii (RH strain)
tachyzoites were grown in human foreskin fibroblasts (HFF) cultured
in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagles Medium (DMEM; Invitrogen) supplemented
with 10% tetracycline-free FBS (HyClone), 2 mM glutamine, 10 mM HEPES
(pH 7.5), and 20 μg/mL gentamicin.

nTreg cells were isolated as described above and cultured in either normal T cell medium, T cell medium lacking glucose (Thermo Fisher Scientific, catalog no. 11879020), or T cell medium lacking amino acids including glutamine (US Biological, catalog no. R9010-02) substituted with dialyzed FBS (Gibco, catalog no. A3382001) for 24 hours at 1 × 105 cells per well. T cell medium included 2000 U of IL-2 and CD3/CD28 beads as described above. iTreg cells were isolated and polarized as described above for 3 days. Following polarization, iTreg cells were cultured in normal T cell medium or T cell medium lacking glucose or amino acids for 24 hours. Both nTreg and iTreg cells were then collected, and RNA was extracted as described above. For stability assays, cells were cultured as described above for 48 hours, then collected, and stained for Foxp3 for flow cytometry.

HMEC-1 cells or HMEC-1 cells overexpressing xCT or SLC1A3 were seeded into 24-well plates (Greiner Bio-One) at a density of 6.5 x 103 cells per well in 0.5 mL medium. The following day, medium was changed to 1 mL HMEC-1 growth medium with any indicated supplements. For assays with added aspartate, medium was changed to custom DMEM medium without glucose, glutamine, or pantothenate (US Biological) supplemented with 5.55 mM glucose (Gibco), 1 mM pyruvate (Sigma), and 25 μM pantothenate (Sigma) along with supplements above: EGF, hydrocortisone, glutamine, HI-FBS. Media was buffered with sodium hydroxide to pH 7.95. Designated plates were placed in hypoxia chamber at 1% oxygen. Cell number was measured at the indicated time points using sulforhodamine B (Sigma) staining, as previously described [42 (link)]. Absorbance at 510 nm was read on an Epoch plate reader (BioTek). Relative growth was determined as (treatment absorbance / control absorbance).

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.
