Cells were permeabilized with 0.25% (PFA-fixed) or 0.1% TX100 (methanol-fixed) and blocked with 5% FBS in standard TBST (0.1% Tween-20 at pH 7.6). To visualize microtubules, methanol-fixed cells were incubated with primary α-tubulin (Sigma-Aldrich T5168, 1:500 dilution) and secondary Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated (Thermo Fisher Scientific A21200, 1:1000 dilution) antibodies for 1 h in blocking solution. TBST was used to wash cells (5 × 5 min). To visualize F-actin, PFA-fixed cells were stained with Alexa Fluor 546 phalloidin (5 units/mL for 20 min in 1% BSA in PBS) and DAPI (2 μM for 20 min in PBS).
Cells were kept in PBS for confocal imaging. Fluorescence and differential interference contrast (DIC) images were collected on an Olympus FV1000 confocal laser-scanning microscope using oil immersion UPLSAPO 60×/1.35 Super Apochromat objective. DAPI, Alexa Fluor 488, Alexa Fluor 546, and SNAP-Cell 647-SiR dyes were excited with 405, 488, 543, and 633 nm lasers, respectively; separate fluorescence signals were collected with 0.5 μm steps in sequential laser mode with emission gates adjusted to avoid spectral overlap.

For ADP binding to ADAM8, 3000 HEK-A8, HEK-REM, or HEK-EV cells in flow cytometry buffer (1% BSA, 0.1% sodium azide in PBS) were exposed to sera (1:100), supernatants (10 μL), or ADPs (0.1–10 μg/mL). As negative and positive controls, 1 μg/mL normal mouse IgG and goat anti-mouse ADAM8 Ab (AF1031, R&D Systems, RRID: AB_354549), respectively, were analyzed.

For ADP cross-reactivity to ADAM33, which is primarily cytoplasmic, 106 HEK-A33 or HEK-EV2 cells were fixed in cold 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.1% Saponin before exposure to ADP or control IgGs (2 μg/50 μL sample). An ADAM33 Ab (LS-C124915, LifeSpan Biosciences, Seattle, WA, USA, RRID: AB_10831502) [2 μg/50 μL sample] and an Alexa Fluor 488 chicken anti-mouse IgG (A-21200, Thermo Fisher Scientific, RRID: AB_2535786) [1.25 μg/50 μL sample] were used as positive control and secondary Ab, respectively.

After antigen-retrieval, permeabilization, and blocking, multi-color immunofluorescence was produced with 1:200-diluted primary antibodies against an IVD NP-associated notochordal marker (CD24), ECM components (aggrecan and type II collagen), and pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α [NBP2-34372; Novusbio, Centennial, CO, USA] and IL-6 [AF506; R & D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA]) for 12 h at 4 °C, followed by incubation with 1:400-diluted Alexa Fluor 488 (A-21200; Thermo Fisher Scientific), 594 (A-21468; Thermo Fisher Scientific), and 647 (A-31573; Thermo Fisher Scientific) secondary antibodies for 1 h at 25 °C. The DAPI was used for counterstaining. Images were captured by fluorescence spectroscopy using the BZ-X700 microscope. The number of positive cells was counted in four random high-power field (×400) using the BZ-X700 software. Immunopositivity was calculated as a percentage relative to DAPI-positive cells (n = 6 per group).

Vero and 293T cells were cultured in advanced MEM and DMEM media respectively, Media were supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% penicillin/streptomycin, and 1% GlutaMax. Vero cells were transfected either with pCXN2-dolSLAM or pCXN2-phoca-SLAM using standard Lipofectamine 3000 protocols (Thermo Fischer Scientific). At 1 day post-transfection, the cells were cultured in growth media supplemented with 1 mg/ml geneticin G418 (Thermo Fischer Scientific) as a selective antibiotic. Vero-dolSLAM cells and Vero-phocaSLAM cells were sorted into single clones using a MoFlo XDP cell sorter (Beckman Coulter) to ensure an equivalent level of SLAM expression within the cell population. Successfully transfected cells were sorted by staining with anti-HA tag antibody [HA.C5] (1:200; ab18181, Abcam) as the primary antibody and chicken anti-mouse IgG (H + L) Alexa Fluor 488 (1:500; A-21200, Thermo Fischer Scientific) as the secondary antibody. Cell clones were expanded and assessed for SLAM expression using an Attune NxT flow cytometer (Thermo Fischer Scientific).

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.
