G-CSF is a laboratory equipment product manufactured by Miltenyi Biotec. It is a recombinant form of the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) protein, which is a key regulator of the production and function of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell. The core function of G-CSF is to stimulate the production and release of neutrophils from the bone marrow.

Monocytes were isolated from healthy donor leukopacs using a human CD14 isolation kit (Miltenyi) as per the manufacturer’s protocol. Monocytes were resuspended in RPMI complete without FBS and plated into a thermo-sensitive 6-well plate (Thermo Scientific 174901). 200 µl of human serum (either from healthy donors or patients) was added for a final concentration of 20% serum. 75 pg/mL of M-CSF (Peprotech) was added to each condition. Some monocytes were also cultured with 10 ng/mL of human IL-6 (Peprotech), 10 ng/mL GM-CSF (Peprotech), G-CSF (Miltenyi), IL-20 (Peprotech), or IL-33 (Peprotech). On days 3–5, the medium was changed, 400 µl of fresh RPMI complete without FBS was added and replenishment of serum and/or recombinant cytokines as indicated. On day 7, the cells were harvested using cold PBS aided by a cell scraper.

T cells were stimulated with Dynabeads Human T-Activator CD3/CD28 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, San Diego, CA) and were expanded in T cell media (47.5% Click’s media [Irving Scientific, Santa Ana, CA], 47.5% RPMI-1640, 5% human serum, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 IU/mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin) supplemented with 100 IU/mL IL-2. Forty-eight hours following stimulation, T cells were transduced with a lentivirus vector encoding ARI2h.31 (link) Subsequently, T cells were split and cytokines were refreshed every 1 to 2 days for a further 7 days of culture, unless indicated otherwise. For experiments in which T cells were exposed to G-CSF in culture, 10 ng/mL recombinant G-CSF (Miltenyi Biotech) was added to T cells that were resting in T cell media for 3 days prior to stimulation. ARP-1, U266, ARP-1-GFP-ffLuc, and U266-GFP-ffLuc cell lines were obtained, cultured, and modified to express GFP-ffLuc, where appropriate, as previously described.31 (link) All cultured cells were incubated at 37°C with 5% CO2. Live cells were routinely counted using Trypan blue exclusion.

Fresh BM aspirates were treated with K2EDTA to prevent coagulation, and lysed to remove red blood cells with a hypotonic solution of ammonium chloride. Myeloid populations were isolated through magnetic sorting by the depletion of CD3+/CD19+/CD56+ lymphocytes, with a cocktail of immunomagnetic beads obtained by combining anti–human CD3, CD19, and CD56 beads (Miltenyi Biotec). Cell purity was checked by FACS analysis on forward/side scatter parameters. Subsequently, the CD3/CD19/CD56 fraction was cultured with 40 ng/ml G-CSF and GM-CSF (Miltenyi Biotec) for 4 days at 37 °C, 8% CO2 in order to obtain BM-MDSCs, as previously described [19 (link), 25 (link)]. On the fourth day, cells were collected and separated into CD11b and CD11b+ fractions with immunomagnetic anti–human CD11b beads (Miltenyi Biotec). The purity of sorted cells was checked by staining both fractions with anti-CD16 (BD Pharmingen) and anti-CD11b (Beckman Coulter) antibodies and analyzing cells by FACS Calibur cytometer (BD Biosciences). All the fractions were obtained with a purity of ≥90%.

SLAM-HSC (150–200 cells), MPP (700–1500 cells), CMP/MEP (1000 cells), GMP (300–1000), PreMegE (1000 cells), and late MP (5000 cells) were plated in duplicate or triplicate in methylcellulose MethoCult 32/34 (Stemcell Technologies) with 10 ng/ml TPO (a generous gift from Kirin, Tokyo, Japan), 1 U/ml EPO (PreproTech), 10 ng/ml IL-3 (Miltenyi Biotec), 10 ng/ml IL-6 (Miltenyi Biotec), 100 ng/ml SCF (PreproTech), and 20 ng/ml G-CSF (Miltenyi Biotec). Colonies derived from erythroid progenitors (colony forming unit-erythroid [CFU-E]) were counted after 2 days, but no CFU-E was detected in any of the cell populations tested. Colonies derived from erythroid progenitors (burst forming unit-erythroid [BFU-E]), granulo-monocytic (colony forming unit-granulocyte macrophage [CFU-GM]), and multilineage colonies (mixed) progenitors were counted after 9 days. For megakaryocytic progenitor (CFU-MK) assay, SLAM-HSC (150–200 cells), MPP (2000 cells), CMP/MEP (2000 cells), GMP (2000), PreMegE (2000 cells), and late MP (5000 cells) were plated in triplicate in serum-free fibrin clot assays with SCF, IL-6, and TPO. MKs and CFU-MKs were evaluated at day 7 by acetylcholinesterase staining.

Lineage depleted cord blood cells were thawed and CD34+ CD38 cells were sorted using CD34 APC-Cy7 (clone 581, custom conjugation) and CD38 PE-Cy7 (335825, HB7). Cells were pre-cultured for 36–48 h in serum-free media and subsequently electroporated as described above. After overnight incubation, media was changed to IMDM (Thermo Fisher, 12440061) with 10% FBS (Sigma, 15A085), 1× l-Glutamine (Thermo Fisher, 25030081), 1× Penicillin–Streptomycin (Thermo Fisher, 15140122) and the following cytokines (all from Miltenyi Biotec): FLT3L (100 ng/mL), G-CSF (10 ng/mL), SCF (100 ng/mL), TPO (15 ng/mL), and IL-6 (10 ng/mL) to allow for cell expansion. Subsequently, karyotyping of chromosomes was performed according to standard procedures. Metaphase slides were prepared, then banded with trypsin and stained with Leishman’s stain. The G-banded slides were scanned and metaphases captured using an automated imaging system (MetaSystems). Metaphases were analyzed using Ikaros image analysis software (MetaSystems). For each condition, 20 metaphases were analyzed by G-banded karyotyping for numerical and structural abnormalities.

In this experiment 1x105 CD34+ cells were co-cultured in a volume of 500μl RPMI per well with or without MVs from 6 HD and 6 patients. After 24hours, 5x103 cells were seeded into methylcellulose MACS Media with Stem cell Factor, GM-CSF, G-CSF, IL-3 and IL-6 (Miltenyi Biotec GmbH, Germany) to quantify the progenitor cell CFU-GM, as previously described[15 (link)].
These cultures were incubated in a humidified atmosphere at 37°C with 5% CO2. After 14 days, CFU-GM colonies were scored with an inverted microscope. Results were expressed as the ratio between CFU-GM obtained with CD34+ cells that had been co-cultured with MVs from MDS or HD and the same CD34+ cells without MVs.

Isolation and Characterization of Hematopoietic Progenitors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Peripheral blood from patients was collected in citrate or EDTA tubes. No difference was observed between the two types of anticoagulant except that citrate allows a better platelet recovery. Granulocytes were obtained after hematopoietic cell separation on a ficoll gradient density. Hematopoietic progenitors (CD34 + ) were isolated from mononuclear cells (MNCs) by immunomagnetic enrichment (Miltenyi, Biotech). T cells (CD56 -CD14 -CD3 + ), B cells (CD56 -CD14 -CD19 + ), monocytes (CD14 + ), and NK cells (CD14 -CD56 + ) were sorted by the Influx flow cytometer (Beckton Dickinson) with a purity > 95%. The following cell fractions CD34 + CD38 -CD90 + , CD34 + CD38 -CD90 - and CD34 + CD38 + CD90 -were cloned at 1 cell/well and cultured in presence of a cocktail of human recombinant cytokines containing EPO (1 U/mL) (Amgen Thousand Oaks, CA), TPO (20 ng/mL) (Kirin, Japan), SCF (25 ng/ mL) (Biovitrum AB, Sweden), IL-3 (10 ng/mL), FLT3-L (10 ng/mL), G-CSF (20 ng/mL), and IL-6 (10 ng/mL) (MiltenyiBiotec). Fourteen days later, individual colonies were plucked and lysed with proteinase K and 0.2% Tween 20 (Sigma) at 65°for 60 min and 95 °C for 15 min. DNAs colonies were genotyped with two techniques, a conventional PCR amplification and a quantitative PCR amplification using specific primers for type 1 and type 2 as previously described (Table S2) [53] .

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.
