C57BL/6 mice were from Joint Ventures Sipper BK Experimental Animal Company (Shanghai, China). OT-II mice (which have transgenic expression of a T-cell antigen receptor specific for chicken ovalbumin amino acids 323–339 (OVA(323–339)) (amino acids 323–339) (ISQAVHAAHAEINEAGR) (Sigma-Aldrich) in the context of the MHC class II molecule I-Ab), CD45.1+ congenic mice, and transgenic CD11c-cre mice were from The Jackson Laboratory. Mice bearing a Mettl3fl allele (Mettl3fl mice) were from Chinese Academy of Sciences53 (link). Mice lacking Mettl3 exon2, exon3, and exon4 specifically in DC, were generated by breeding of mettl3fl mice with CD11c-Cre mice. All mice were maintained under pathogen-free conditions and were used at 6–8 weeks of age unless indicated otherwise. All animal experiments were carried out according to the National Institute of Health Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, with the approval of the Scientific Investigation Board of Second Military Medical University (Shanghai, China).

Bone marrow was obtained from the long bones of FcRγ−/− B6 mice and plated at a density of 106 cells per 6-well dishes in RPMI (Corning), 10 % FCS, 1 %l-Glutamine, streptomycin (100 mg/ml), and penicillin (100 U/ml). For the maturation of DCs, 40 ng/ml of both GM-CSF and IL-4 (PeproTech, Rocky Hill, NJ) was added to the media. Media were replaced after 3 days, and on the 6th day mature DCs were replated at a density of 5 × 104 per well in U-bottom 96 wells. Two μM of DTA-1 was administered to DCs for all in vitro experiments. For DC-pulsed T cell proliferation assays, BMDC was pulsed with OVA peptides for MHC-class I (SIINFEKL—1 μg/ml) or MHC-class II (ISQAVHAAHAEINEAGR—10 μg/ml) (Sigma) and 2 μM DTA-1. After 24 h, CD8 T cells from OTI mice (CD4+ from OTII mice) were obtained from splenocytes using a CD8 or CD4 T cell isolation kit, respectively (StemCell Technologies, Vancouver, CA), and stained with Cell Trace Violet (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) as previously described [41 ]. After 72 h, cells were transferred to V-bottom 96 wells and stained for via flow cytometry.

Kupffer Cell-Mediated CD4+ T Cell Modulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
FACS-sorted Kupffer cells from control or HCC-bearing mice were cultured in 96-well plates overnight. Splenocytes and lymph node cells from OT-II mice were labeled with CFSE (0.5 µM). CD4+ T cells were purified using a CD4+ T Cell Isolation Kit (Miltenyi Biotec). After 3-h-incubation with ovalbumin323-339 peptide (ISQAVHAAHAEINEAGR, 40 ng/mL, Sigma-Aldrich) with or without LPS (400 ng/mL, Sigma-Aldrich), CFSE-labeled CD4+ cells were added to each well at different Kupffer cells/CD4+ cells ratio. For selected experiments anti-PD-L1 (10F.9G2), anti-IL-10 (JES5-16E3) (Biolegend), and CAY10404 (Cayman Chemical) were added.

Pertussis toxin (PT) (cat. no. P7208), peptides corresponding to residues 35–55 of rat MOG (MEVGWYRSPFSRVVHLYRNGK) and residues 323–339 (ISQAVHAAHAEINEAGR) of OVA were purchased from Sigma (Rehovot, Israel). Anti‐mouse CD4‐fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) (cat. no. 11‐0042‐85; clone RM4‐5), CD4‐phycoerythrin (PE) (cat. no. 12‐0042‐82; clone RM4‐5), CD8a‐PE‐cyanine 7 (Cy7) (cat. no. 25‐0081‐81; clone 53‐6.7), interferon (IFN)‐γ‐PE, interleukin (IL)‐17‐Alexa‐Fluor 647, CD25‐PE (cat. no. 12‐0251‐82; clone PC61.5), CD16/32 (cat. no. 14‐0161‐85; clone 93), forkhead box protein 3 (FoxP3)‐peridinin chlorophyll (PerCP)‐Cy5.5 (cat. no. 45‐5773‐80; clone FJK‐16s), CD3 (cat. no. 16‐0031‐85; clone 145‐2C11), CD28 (cat. no. 16‐0281‐85; clone 37.51), anti‐Ki‐67‐PE (cat. no. 12‐5698‐80; clone SoIA15), anti‐lymphocyte antigen 6C (Ly6C) Alexa‐Fluor 488 (cat. no. 53‐5932‐82; clone HK1.4), anti‐Ly6G‐allophycocyanin (APC) (cat no. 17‐9668‐82; clone 1A8‐Ly6g), anti‐CD11b‐PE (cat. no. 12‐0112‐82; clone M1/70), anti‐CD115‐APC (cat. no. 17‐1152‐82; clone AFS98) and anti‐B220‐APC (cat. no. 17‐0452‐82; clone RA3‐6B2) were all purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Fremont, CA, USA.

Lymphocytes were isolated from lymph nodes of OTI or OTII mice and stimulated with SIINFEKL (OVA257–264; Sigma-Aldrich) or ISQAVHAAHAEINEAGR (OVA323–339; Sigma-Aldrich) peptide at 5 μM for 24 hours. Cells were then labeled with 5 μM CSFE (Thermo Fisher Scientific) at 37 °C for 10 minutes. After two washes, cells were seeded in 48-well plates (1×106 cells per well) and then treated with the indicated concentrations of GABA. Three days after incubation, stained cells were counted to quantify the proliferation of OTI CD8+ T and OTII CD4+ T cells using a BD FACS Canto flow-cytometry system.

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.
