Cellular ROS levels were measured by flow cytometry using the florescent indicator 2',7'dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (H2DCFDA; Thermo Fisher Scientific). After treatment, NGFDPC12 cells were incubated with 10 μM H2DCFDA in F‐12K medium for 25 min at 37°C. Cells were then detached by HyClone HyQtase (GE Healthcare), rinsed and analyzed with a Becton‐Dickinson FACSCalibur (Almaguel et al., 2009; Padilla et al., 2011). NGFDPC12 cells treated with 10 μM DL‐Buthionine‐[S,R]‐sulfoximine (BSO) for 24 hr served as positive control.

Wild type MDA-MB-231 cells were grown in collagen I-coated tissue culture dished until 80% confluence. Cells were harvested using HyClone HyQtase (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Marlborough, MA) and resuspended in FACS buffer (1% BSA, 0.5 mM EDTA in PBS). The cell suspension was then labeled using a monoclonal antibody against human CD29 (b1 integrin) conjugated to AlexaFluor 488. A cell suspension without added antibody was used as negative control. After labeling, the cells were analyzed within 1 h of detachment at the stem cell core of Sanford Consortium of Regenerative Medicine (La Jolla, CA) using a BD Influx cell sorter (BD, Franklin lakes, NJ). Cells were sorted based on fluorescence intensity into the top-expressing population (~15%, ITGB1 high) and bottom-expressing population (~13%, ITGB1 low). Sorted cells were replated into collagen-coated dishes and left to recover overnight. After recovery, the cells were embedded in 3D collagen gels as described above.

HUVECs were grown to confluence in 12-well plates and treated with PT and TNFα as described. Afterwards, HUVECs were washed twice with pre-warmed PBS and detached with HyClone HyQTase (GE Healthcare). In the case of ICAM-1, detached HUVECs were fixed with 4 % formaldehyde (Polysciences, Hirschberg an der Bergstraße, Germany) in PBS (final concentration: 2 %) and incubated with FITC-labeled anti-human CD54 (ICAM-1) antibody (MCA1615F, Biozol, Eching, Germany) in PBS. In the case of VCAM-1, detached HUVECs were left unfixed and incubated on ice with PE-labeled anti-human CD106 (VCAM-1) antibody (555647, Becton Dickinson, Heidelberg, Germany) in PBS containing 0.2 % BSA. Protein expression on the endothelial surface was analyzed by flow cytometry (FACSVerse, Becton Dickinson).

BLaER1 cells, a kind gift from T. Graf (Barcelona), were cultured in complete RPMI-1640 medium (supplemented with 2mM L-Glutamine, 1mM Sodium Pyruvate, 100 U/mL Penicillin, 100 μg/mL Streptomycin, and 10% (v/v) heat-inactivated FCS) at 37°C/5%CO2. They were transdifferentiated in 48-well plates at a concentration of 2.5 × 105 cells/well by using the transdifferentiation media (10 ng/mL hrIL-3 (Peprotech 200–03), 10 ng/mL hr-M-CSF (Peprotech 300–25), 100 nM β-Estradiol (Sigma E2758) in complete RPMI medium) and incubating at 37°C/5%CO2 for 8 days. The transdifferentiated cells were infected with Mtb 6020 cerulean and Mtb 6020 esxM at MOI 5 and incubated at 37°C/5%CO2 for 18–20 h. The infected BLaER1 cells were detached from the 48-well plate using HyClone HyQTase (GE Healthcare Life Sciences SV30030.01), spun down, resuspended in complete RPMI and placed on collagen-coated coverslips in 24-well plates. The immunofluorescence assay was performed using Anti-Arp2 antibody (Abcam, ab49674) as primary antibody and goat Anti-mouse Alexa Fluor 647 (Thermo Fisher, A21236) as a secondary antibody plus phalloidin stain (Alexa Fluor 555, Thermo Fisher A34055). Coverslips were mounted on slides using Mowiol and images were taken with a Zeiss 880 AiryScan or with a Biovision spinning disk confocal microscope. Analysis of the images was performed using FIJI/ImageJ.

Measuring Cell Adhesion Molecule Expression

HUVECs were grown to confluence on 12-well plates before they were treated with archazolid for 24 h. Cells were treated with TNFα for 24 h to induce the expression of cell adhesion molecules. Subsequently, the cells were detached with HyClone HyQTase (GE Healthcare, Freiburg, Germany). In the case of ICAM-1 the detached cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde (Polysciences, Hirschberg an der Bergstraße, Germany) in PBS for 10 min and washed once with PBS before incubating with the fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled anti-human CD54 (mouse, ICAM-1) antibody (MCA1615F, Biozol, Eching, Germany) at room temperature for 45 min. For all other proteins, the cells were not fixed and washed once with PBS before incubating with the antibodies phycoerythrin (PE)-labeled anti-human CD106 (mouse, VCAM-1), PE-labeled anti-human CD62E (mouse, E-selectin) and PE-labeled anti-human CD325 (mouse, N-cadherin) from Becton Dickinson on ice for 45 min. These antibodies were diluted in PBS containing 0.2% BSA. The surface expression of cell adhesion molecules was measured by flow cytometry (FACSVerse, Becton Dickinson, Heidelberg, Germany).

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.
