To determine donor-derived chimerism in the transplantation-based assays, peripheral blood from the recipients was obtained by the submandibular bleeding method and prepared for analysis as previously described20 (link). All antibodies were purchased from eBioscience. Apoptosis assays were performed by staining cells with Annexin V and 7-AAD (BioLegend). Cell cycle status was analyzed by staining cells with 2.5 μg/ml PI containing 0.1% BSA and 2 μg/ml RNase after fixation with 70% ethanol. Flow cytometric analysis and cell sorting were carried out on the Moflo XDP, Cyan ADP (Beckman Coulter) or S3 (Bio-Rad), and the data were analyzed with FlowJo software (Tree Star Inc.).

For titration experiments, immature hmoDCs from healthy donors (106 cells/mL) were treated with LPS (0.1 μg/mL) plus different doses of WIN55212-2, HU210 or HU308 (1, 5, 10 and 20 μM) or with TLR2L (25 ng/mL) or MFs (25 ng/mL IL-1β and 50 ng/mL TNFα) plus different doses of WIN55212-2 (5, 10 and 20 μM).
Immature hmoDCs or human total blood DCs from healthy donors (106 cells/mL) were stimulated with medium (unstimulated), WIN55212-2 (10 µM), LPS (0.1 μg/mL) or LPS plus WIN55212-2 for 18 h. Cells were used to analyse their phenotype by flow cytometry and cell‐free supernatants to quantify IL-8, IL‐1β, IL‐6, TNFα and IL‐10 by sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). For inhibition experiments, hmoDCs were preincubated for 1 h with Rimonabant (20 µM), AM630 (20 µM), GW6471 (25 µM), GW9662 (10 µM) or 3-MA (25 µM) or corresponding vehicle controls prior to activation. Then, cells were stimulated with LPS plus WIN55212-2 for 18 h in the presence of the corresponding inhibitors. Cell viability was analysed in all the cases by trypan blue (Gibco) exclusion and/or Annexin V and 7-AAD (Biolegend) by flow cytometry analysis.

Cells were treated with a 1:4 dilution series ranging from 20 µM to 0.078 µM LMK-235 in 96-well cell polystyrene cell culture plates (Greiner Bio-One). Caspase-Glo 3/7 assay (Promega, Mannheim, Germany) was performed after 0, 8, 24, and 32 h according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Supernatants including the reaction mixture were transferred for luminescence measurements into white 96-well plates (Corning, Kaiserslautern, Germany). Luminescence measurements were performed on the Infinity M200 reader with an integration time of 5 s.
After 24 h incubation with a LMK-235 1:4 dilution series (0.078–20 µM) in 6-well polystyrene cell culture plates (TPP), cells were harvested and stained according to the manufacturer’s instructions with Annexin-V and 7-AAD (both BioLegend, Koblenz, Germany) for FACS analysis of apoptosis on a Cell Lab Quanta SC flow cytometer (Beckman-Coulter, Vienna, Austria) and the Kaluza Analysis 1.3 software (Beckman-Coulter).

The level of apoptosis in chlamydia pulsed and nonpulsed WT and ENO1 knockdown DCs was determined using Annexin V and 7-AAD flow cytometry (Biolegend, San Diego, CA). The cells were then collected at time 0 and 2 h after infection and washed with cold BioLegend Cell Staining Buffer twice and then resuspended in Annexin V binding buffer. Five microliters of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-Annexin V and 5 μl of 7-amino-actinomycin D (7-AAD), viability staining solution were added to 100 μl cell suspensions and incubated in the dark at room temperature for 15 min. 400 μl of binding buffer was added to the sample and the mixture was vortexed and then analyzed by flow cytometry using a guava easyCyte 8HT (EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA). For each sample, at least 100,000 events were collected. Data was analyzed with guavaSoft 2.7 (EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA).

Modulation of NK Cell Cytotoxicity

PBMCs were cultured in RPMI 1640 (Lonza) supplemented with 2 mM l-glutamine, 2% heat-inactivated fetal calf serum (Gibco), penicillin (100 IU/ml), streptomycin (100 µg/ml), and low-dose IL-2 (2 U/ml; Sigma) in the presence of vehicle (<0.1% ethanol), dexamethasone (1 µM; Sigma), LXA4 (50 nM; Cayman Chemical), or both dexamethasone and LXA4 for 48 hours. dexamethasone and LXA4 were redosed after 24 hours. After 48 hours, PBMCs were washed and placed into coculture with K562 myeloid tumor cells that were labeled with the DNA dye eFluor 670 (eBioscience) at an effector/target ratio of 20:1 (PBMC/K562) for 4 hours at 37°C in 5% CO2. NK cell–mediated lysis of target cells was then assessed by gating on eFluor 670+ K562 cells and using annexin V and 7-AAD (BioLegend) staining to identify necrotic/ late apoptotic cells. To determine the cellular source of cytotoxic mediators and cytokines in coculture experiments, we exposed PBMCs to K562 cells at an effector/target ratio of 20:1 for 2 hours followed by 4 hours in the presence of GolgiStop (BD). Cells were then stained as described above, and intracellular perforin and IL-17 were measured in NK cells, CD8+ T cells, or CD4+ T cells by flow cytometry.

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.
