Ch25hfl/fl and Ch25hECKO female mice were injected with tamoxifen. Nine brains per genotype were pooled and primary brain microvascular endothelial cells (pMBMEC) were isolated and plated in a 96‐well plate (2 wells/brain). Confluent pMBMEC were left unstimulated or stimulated IL‐1β for 24 h. RNA of three wells was pooled to obtain one replicate for RNA sequencing. The Lausanne Genomic Technologies Facility performed the RNA‐seq. RNA quality was assessed on a Fragment Analyzer (Agilent Technologies), and all RNAs had a RQN between 8.7 and 10. RNA‐seq libraries were prepared from 500 ng of total RNA with the Illumina TruSeq Stranded mRNA reagents (Illumina) using a unique dual indexing strategy, and following the official protocol automated on a Sciclone liquid handling robot (PerkinElmer). Libraries were quantified by a fluorometric method (QubIT, Life Technologies) and their quality assessed on a Fragment Analyzer (Agilent Technologies).
Cluster generation was performed with 2 nM of an equimolar pool from the resulting libraries using the Illumina HiSeq 3000/4000 SR Cluster Kit reagents and sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 4000 using HiSeq 3000/4000 SBS Kit reagents for 150 cycles (single end). Sequencing data were demultiplexed using the bcl2fastq2 Conversion Software (version 2.20, Illumina).

RNA from frozen half-kidneys of 72 mice were extracted and purified using RNAeasy MiniElute Spin Column (Qiagen). RNA quality was assessed on a Fragment Analyzer (Agilent Technologies). All RNAs had an RNA quality number (RQN) between 7.5 and 9.7. RNA-Seq libraries were prepared from 200 ng of total RNA with the Illumina TruSeq Stranded mRNA reagents (Illumina) using a unique dual indexing strategy and following the official protocol automated on a Sciclone liquid handling robot (PerkinElmer). Libraries were quantified by a fluorometric method (QubIT, Life Technologies) and their quality assessed on a Fragment Analyzer (Agilent Technologies). Clusters were generated with 2 nM of an equimolar pool from the resulting libraries using the Illumina HiSeq 3000/4000 SR Cluster Kit reagents. Sequencing was performed on the Illumina HiSeq 4000 using HiSeq 3000/4000 SBS Kit reagents for 150 cycles (single read). Sequencing data were demultiplexed, filtered for failed reads, and written to FASTQ files using the bcl2fastq2 conversion software (version 2.20, Illumina). Details for RNA-Seq reads mapping are described in Supplemental Methods.

For RNA sequencing naïve T cells were sorted from the spleens of wild-type mice and STINGgt/gt mice and expanded in the presence of anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies (eBioscience) for 2 days. Cells were rested 1 day in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% (v/v) FCS, 5% HEPES buffer (Amimed), 2% L-glutamine (Life Technologies) and Ciprofloxacin (Bayer Schering Pharma), without antibodies and stimulated with either DMSO or 125 μg/ml CMA overnight. Total RNA was isolated from the cells using the RNAeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen). RNA-seq libraries were prepared using 1000 ng of total RNA and the Illumina TruSeq Stranded mRNA reagents (Illumina) on a Sciclone liquid handling robot (PerkinElmer) using a PerkinElmer-developed automated script. Cluster generation was performed with the resulting libraries using the Illumina TruSeq SR Cluster Kit v4 reagents and sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 2500 using TruSeq SBS Kit v4 reagents. Sequencing data were processed using the Illumina Pipeline Software version 1.82. Heat maps were produced from normalised expression data using Cluster 3.0 for computation and JTreeview for visualisation.

RNA was extracted using the Total RNA Isolation RNeasy Mini Kit with the DNAse I (QIAGEN), on-column digestion step. Snap-frozen pieces of tumor and normal tissue samples (≈30 mg) were directly submerged in 350 µl of RLT buffer (second RNA wash buffer with ethanol) supplemented with 40 µM dithiothreitol. Tissues were completely homogenized on ice using a pestle and passed through a 26G needle syringe 5×. Centrifugation was performed in a table-top centrifuge at 4 °C for 3 min at 18,213g before the supernatant was removed and directly used for RNA extraction.
RNA quality was assessed on a Fragment Analyzer (Agilent Technologies). RNA-seq libraries were prepared from 500 ng of total RNA with the Illumina TruSeq Stranded mRNA reagents using a unique dual indexing strategy and following the official protocol automated on a Sciclone liquid handling robot (PerkinElmer).

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.
