Spleens were removed from C57BL/6 mice and minced. Splenic red blood cells were removed with ammonium-chloride-potassium lysis buffer (0.15M NH4Cl, 1mM KHCO3, 0.1mM Na2 EDTA, pH 7.2∼7.4). The cells were resuspended in complete media containing RPMI 1640 supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum and 1% antibiotics (all from Gibco, Grand Island, NY, USA). CD4+ T cells were isolated using a CD4+ T cell isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotec, San Diego, CA, USA), according to the manufacturer's protocol. The purity of isolated CD4+ T cells was assessed as > 95%. Negatively selected non-CD4+ cells were regarded as antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and irradiated at 3,000 rad before coculture. Isolated CD4+ T cells were stimulated with plate-bound anti-CD3 (0.5 mg/mL) and soluble anti-CD28 (1 mg/mL) (both from BD Biosciences) in the presence or absence of CsA (30 ng/mL) and KRGE (3 μg/mL or 10 μg/mL) for 72 h. For Th17 cell-polarizing condition, isolated CD4+ T cells were stimulated with plate-bound anti-CD3 mAb (0.5 mg/mL), soluble anti-CD28 mAb (1 mg/mL), anti-interferon (IFN) γ (2 mg/mL), anti-IL-4 (2 mg/mL), anti-IL-2 (2 mg/mL), IL-6 (20 ng/mL) (all from R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), and transforming growth factor-beta (2 ng/mL, PeproTech, London, UK) for 72 h [16] (link), [17] (link).

Naïve T cells were activated with plate-bound anti-CD3 (10 µg/mL) plus soluble anti-CD28 (2 µg/mL, BD Bioscience, San Jose, CA, USA) for 2 days. For T cell differentiation, CD4+ T cells were differentiated into Th17 or iTreg cells as previously reported [27 (link),29 (link)]. Briefly, CD4+ T cells were stimulated by anti-CD3/CD28 for 4 days with anti-IFN-γ and anti-IL-4 (both 10 µg/mL) in the presence of TGF-β1 (5 ng/mL, for Treg), or TGF-β1 plus IL-6 (10 ng/mL, for Th17) (all obtained from R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA). Cells were restimulated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, 25 ng/mL) plus ionomycin (500 ng/mL; Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) for 5 h with GolgiStop (BD Bioscience, San Jose, CA, USA) in the last 2 h for intracellular cytokine staining; or without GolgiStop for cytokine assays in the culture supernatants by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Where indicated, fasudil (Selleck Chemicals, Houston, TX, USA) was added to the cultures.

CD4 cells were isolated from spleen and lymph nodes by negative selection as previously described (Diehl et al., 2002 (link)). For Stat3+/+ and Stat3−/− mice, CD4 cells were purified by cell sorting (FACS-Aria; Becton Dickinson). CD4 cells were activated with plate-bound anti-CD3 (2C11) (5 μg/ml) and soluble anti-CD28 (1 μg/ml) (BD Pharmingen, San Diego, CA) mAbs in the presence or absence of IL-6 (50 ng/mL) (Miltenyi Biotec, Auburn, CA). Pharmacological inhibitors were added to culture 42 hr after activation and supernatants were harvested 6 hr later. APCs were purified by depleting CD4 and CD8 T cells using positive selection (Miltenyi), and followed by irradiation treatment (2000 rad). APCs and OT-II CD4 cells were co-cultured at 4:1 ratio in the presence of 5 μM OVA323-339 peptide (Barnden et al., 1998 (link)) with or without IL-6 (50 ng /mL) (Miltenyi) or anti-IL-6 (2.5 μg /mL) (BD Pharmingen).
Pharmacological inhibitors used were CGP-37157 (Tocris Bioscience, Ellisville, MO) (10 μM), CCCP (2 μM), rotenone (2 μM), antimycin (2 μM), Ru360 (10 μM), FK506 (InvivoGen, San Diego, CA) (10 nM), Stattic (10 μM).

Blood samples from healthy donors were purchased from a local blood bank. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated using Ficoll-Paque (GE Healthcare) density gradient separation. CD8+ T cells were negatively selected using an EasySepTM Human CD8+ T cell Isolation kit (STEMCELL Technologies). To activate T cells, a total of 3 million PBMCs or CD8+ T cells were treated with immobilized monoclonal antibody (mAb) to CD3 (5μg/mL, Cat# 317304, Biolegend) and soluble anti-CD28 (2μg/mL, Cat# 555725, BD Biosciences) in 1ml of RPMI-1640 media supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). The isotype control antibody used was mouse IgG2a,κ (Cat# 554645) from BD Biosciences. After 48 hrs, PBMCs and the conditioned-media were harvested. Activated PBMCs or CD8+ T cells were transferred into 0.4μm Transwell Insert (Corning) and placed into 6-well plates with pre-seeded MDA-MB-231 and MCF7 cells. MDA-MB-231 or MCF7 cells were cocultured with PBMCs alone or the conditioned-media or a combination of both for 24 hrs, and then harvested for further analysis. Control experiments were performed in the same manner except that isotype control antibodies were used.

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.
