Cells were collected via EDTA-PBS (0.4% EDTA) treatment without trypsin on ice. After washing with PBS, cells were blocked with PBS containing 2% bovine serum albumin, 5% normal goat serum, and 5 mM EDTA on ice for 30 min. Cells were incubated with the primary antibody anti-AREG (1:100; R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) on ice for 30 min, washed with PBS, and then treated with the secondary antibody on ice for 15 min. After two PBS washes, the level of AREG bound on cell membrane was measured with a FACSCalibur (Becton-Dickinson, San Jose, CA).

Lymphocytes were isolated from lung and tumor tissue by digestion with collagenase A (1 mg/ml; Roche) and DNase I (0.5 µg/ml; Roche) in isolation buffer (RPMI 1640 supplemented with 5% FBS, 1% l-glutamine, 1% penicillin-streptomycin, and 10 mM Hepes) for 30 min at 37°C. Cells were filtered through 100-µm cell strainers, washed in isolation buffer, and stained in PBS supplemented with 0.25% BSA, 2 mM EDTA, and 0.1% sodium azide. Antibodies used included anti-CD45, anti-Foxp3, anti–IL-18Rα, anti-ST2, anti-CD62L, anti-CD103, anti–PD-1, anti-GITR, anti–CTLA-4, anti-KLRG1, anti-Ki67, anti-CD5, anti-NK1.1, anti-CD45R (B220), anti–IL-17, anti–IL-4, anti-IFNγ, and anti–Ly-6C (eBioscience); anti-TCRβ, anti-CD3, anti-CD4, anti-CD8, anti-CD127, anti-CD11B, anti-MHCII, and anti-Gr1 (BioLegend); anti-CD44 and anti-CD25 (Tonbo); anti–IL-5 and anti-TNFα (BD PharMingen); and anti-AREG (R&D Systems). For exclusion of dead cells, samples were first stained with Ghost Dye (Tonbo) cell viability reagent. Intracellular staining for cytokines, Foxp3, AREG, Ki-67, and CTLA-4 was performed using the Foxp3/transcription factor staining buffer set (eBioscience) as per manufacturer’s protocol. The H2-Kb OVA257–264 tetramer was obtained from the NIH Tetramer Core Facility.

Chronic myeloid leukaemia cell line, LAMA84, was obtained from DSMZ (Braunschweig, Germany); human primary CD34+ cells and bone marrow primary stromal cells (BMSCs) were obtained from Lonza (Basel, Switzerland). LAMA84 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium, supplemented with 10% foetal bovine serum (FBS), 2 mM L‐glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin and 100 μg/ml streptomycin (Euroclone, UK). CD34+ cells were cultured in IMDM medium, supplemented with 15% FBS, 2 mM L‐glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin and 100 mg/ml streptomycin (Euroclone, UK). BMSCs were cultured in MyeloCult H5100 (STEMCELL Technologies Inc., Vancouver, BC, Canada). Gefitinib or Erlotinib (Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI, USA) was solubilized at 10‐mM stock solution in DMSO and stored at −20°C. Neutralizing antibody anti‐AREG (R&D Systems, Abingdon, UK) was reconstituted at 0.2 mg/ml in sterile PBS, aliquoted and stored at −20°C. Recombinant Areg (R&D Systems, Abingdon, UK) was reconstituted at 0.1 mg/ml in sterile PBS, aliquoted and stored at −20°C. Working dilutions, where necessary, were prepared in medium. All other reagents were purchased from Sigma‐Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA), if not cited otherwise.

MC38 cell line was generously provided by Z. Guo (University of Pittsburgh, School of Medicine) and cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin (P.S). Generation of B16–IL-33 and B16-vec tumor cell lines was previously reported (10 (link)). All cell lines were tested for mycoplasma routinely and with negative results. B16 and B16–IL-33 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium with 10% FBS and 1% P.S. One million MC38 cells were injected intradermally into the right flank of the mice. For B16 models, 0.1 million cells were injected intradermally. IL-33 protein (10 μg), anti–PD-1 (200 μg per mouse; Bio X Cell, clone: J43), or anti-Areg (50 μg per mouse; R&D Systems, clone: 206220) was injected intraperitoneally on the fifth day after tumor inoculation, for a total of four times with 4-day intervals.

Exosomes Modulate Cell Signaling in CML

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HS5 cells were starved for 2 h in a serum‐free medium and treated or not for different times (30 min., 3 h, 6 h, 24 h) with LAMA84− exosomes (20–50 μg/ml) ± gefitinib 30 μM or erlotinib 30 μM. Neutralizing antibody anti‐AREG (20 ng/ml) was incubated with LAMA84 exosomes (50 μg/ml) for 2 h at 37°C and then used to treat HS5 for 3 h. Bone marrow primary stromal cells were treated or not for different times (30 min., 18 h) with LAMA84− exosomes (50 μg/ml) ± gefitinib 30 μM. Total protein lysates were obtained at the end of each treatment. Protein lysates from LAMA84 cells, from CML patients cells, from HS5, from BMSC, from exosomes or from conditioned medium of LAMA84 cells were analysed by SDS‐PAGE in reducing conditions followed by Western blotting as previously described 6. Antibodies used in the experiments were as follows: anti‐EGFR, pEGFR, annexin A2 and β‐actin (all from Cell Signalling Technology, Lane Danvers, MA, USA); anti‐SNAIL and MMP9 (all from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA) and anti‐AREG (R&D systems, Abingdon, UK).

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.
