RA PBMCs and SFMCs were stimulated with either 10 ​ng/ml TNFα (Peprotec), 800 ​ng/ml rhPD-L2/B7-DC Fc chimera protein (R&D Systems), or 800 ​ng/ml Mouse IgG1 Isotype control (R&D Systems) for 2 ​h ​at 37 ​°C and 5% CO2, at a cell density of 1–2.5 ​× ​106 ​cells/ml.
RNA was extracted using the RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen) according to manufacturer’s instructions. The concentration of RNA was determined using the Nanodrop 1000 Spectrophotometer. Followed by real-time PCR analysis using the Taqman RNA to Ct 1-step kit (Applied Bioscience) and the following TaqMan assays: PAD-2 (Hs00247108_m1), PAD-4 (Hs00202612_m1), and HPRT1 (Hs02800695_m1) (all from ThermoFisher Scientific). The relative amount of PAD-2 and PAD-4 mRNA were calculated using the formula: 2-ΔCq with (Hypoxanthine-guanine-phosphoribosyl-transferase 1) HPRT1 as the reference gene, and normalized to the N/A sample (not-activated) to obtain a relative ratio.

CM Stimulation and sEV Isolation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The CM was collected and used for the stimulation of other cells or for Western blotting. CM was centrifuged at 1500 rpm for 3 min to remove cell debris, and the supernatant was used in the subsequent experiments. For Western blotting, MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-453 cells were cultured in a serum-free RPMI-1640 medium 24 h before CM collection so as not to carry over the proteins from the FBS. For sEV isolation, these cells were cultured using exosome-depleted FBS (System Biosciences, Palo Alto, CA, USA). For the neutralization of HSP70, the CM was preincubated with the HSP70 antibody (Table S1) or a mouse IgG1 isotype control (5 μg/mL, R&D Systems Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA) for 1 h at 37 °C, and the THP-1-derived macrophages and MDA-MB-231 cells were then treated with the CM.

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.
