CD4+ T cells were lysated and proteins were extracted using a nuclear extraction reagent (Boster Biological Technology, Pleasanton, CA, USA). Proteins were quantified by the Bradford reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), followed by 12% vertical dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Proteins were then transferred into a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). The PVDF membrane was blocked in 5% skim milk for 1 h at room temperature, then incubated with an antibody against P65 (GB11142, 1:1000, Wuhan Servicebio Technology Co., Ltd., Wuhan, China) or P50 (ab7971, 1:5000, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) for 12-16 h at 4℃ , and followed by incubating with a mouse anti-rabbit IgG antibody (H&L) (GenScript, Piscataway, NJ, USA). Proteins were detected with an enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) western blot detection kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Quantification of P65 and P50 was normalized to GAPDH by densitometry.

Quantifying Cell Proliferation and Apoptosis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After treatment, proliferation or apoptosis was assessed as previously detailed (Dilwali et al., 2014). Briefly, cell proliferation was quantified by adding 5-Bromo-2′-Deoxyuridine (BrdU, Invitrogen) to the cultured cells 20 hours prior to fixation. Primary antibodies against BrdU (AbD Serotec, #OBT0030G), s100 (Dako, # Z031129), or p50 (Abcam, #ab7971) were used. For assessing apoptosis, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL, Roche Applied Sciences) was applied for 1 h at 37°C and 0.5 h at RT on the shaker after fixation and permeabilization. Cells were counted by an investigator (S.D.) blinded to the treatment conditions. Cells were counted in ≥3 fields. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were reported as percent BrdU positive and TUNEL positive nuclei, respectively. As a validation for TUNEL staining, apoptosis was also assessed using immunocytochemistry by the expression of cleaved caspase 3 in cells treated with siRNA or curcumin. Antibody against cleaved caspase 3 (Cell Signaling Technology, #9661) was utilized. The inhibitors were compared to the control group by normalizing the percent change in proliferation or percent of apoptosis in comparison to the non-treated cells.

For one pull-down reaction, 1 × 106 T cells polarized and expanded as described above and nuclear extracts were generated as described in the section ‘Electrophoretic mobility shift assays', using 1 ml Hypotonic Buffer and 90 μl Nuclear Buffer for 1 × 106 T cells. Binding reactions of nuclear extracts to DNA probes were performed as in EMSA reactions (using the Thermo Scientific buffers) scaled up 20 times for one pull-down reaction, using 90 μl nuclear extracts of T cells plus 12 μl Bcl-3-overexpressing 293 T lysates or empty 293 T lysates. DNA probes were the same sequences as used in EMSAs, biotin-labelled. Binding reactions were incubated for in total 1 h, then 40 μl Streptavidin beads were added (Invitrogen, catalogue number: 65001) and rotated overnight at 4 °C. Proteins were eluted the next day with 2 × SDS Lämmli Buffer and visualized via western blotting with anti-p50 antibodies (Abcam ab7971). DNA sequences used in EMSAs and pulldowns are described in Table 2.
