Upon treatments of Dictamni Cortex extracts [DC-I to DC-IV], cell proliferation of PBMC was quantified by BrdU Cell Proliferation Assay Kit (BioVision, Milpitas, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s protocol with optimization. Briefly, each herbal extract in various concentrations (0, 1, 10, 100, 200, 500, and 1000 μg/mL) was cultured with PBMC (1 × 105/mL) for 22.5 h. The cell culture was incubated with BrdU solution at 37 °C for 1.5 h. The cells were then incubated with fixing/denaturing solution at room temperature for 30 min, followed by incubation with BrdU Detection antibody for 1 h. The cells were washed, and anti-mouse HRP-conjugated antibody was incorporated. Upon washing, TMB substrate was added. Color development was determined at 450 nm with the VICTOR3 Multilabel Plate Reader (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA).

To generate murine BMDC or BMDM, bone marrow was flushed from femurs and tibias of C57BL/6J (B6) mice and cultured in Petri dishes at 5 × 106 cells per dish using complete RPMI-1640, supplemented as described above and containing 10 ng/mL GM-CSF (MilliporeSigma) or M-CSF (culture medium supplemented with 20% L929 supernatant), respectively. GM-CSF or M-CSF were replaced on day 4. After 1 week, cells were harvested and BMDC were further purified using magnetic anti-CD11c microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec). Purified CD11c+ murine DC or BMDM were seeded into 6-well plates and matured with 200 ng/mL human IL-32 (R&D Systems) for 48 hours. DC were pulsed with 1 mg/mL OVA (EndoFit Ovalbumin, InvivoGen) or 1 nM SIINFEKL (MilliporeSigma) antigen for 24 hours. Subsequently, CD8+ T cells were purified from the spleens of OT-I mice using EasySep Mouse CD8+ T cell Isolation Kit (negative selection, STEMCELL Technologies) and cocultured with matured CD11c+ DC. T cell proliferation was assessed after 48 hours using the BrdU Cell Proliferation Assay Kit (BioVision). Purified IL-32γ matured CD11c+ DC and BMDM as well as untreated controls were also transcriptionally profiled after 24 hours using NanoString and analyzed via flow cytometry after 48 hours.

A BrdU Cell Proliferation Assay Kit (Biovision, Milpitas, CA, USA) was used to measure the cell proliferation rate according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, the cells were seeded in a 96-well plate and incubated overnight. After transfection, the cells were further cultured for 24 hrs. Then, 10 μM BrdU was added to the medium and incubated for 4 hrs. The absorbance at 450 nm was read and recorded to calculate the relative proliferation rate. The experiment was done three times with triplicate samples.

Cell proliferation was examined based on the incorporation of thymidine analog bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) into newly synthesized DNA using the BrdU cell proliferation assay kit (BioVision, Mountain View, CA, USA). Briefly, cells (1 × 104 for HepG2 cells and 7.5 × 103 for PLC5 cells) were spread in 96-well plate and cultured overnight. After drug treatment for 48 h, cells were incubated with BrdU solution at 37 °C for 2 h, followed by 30 min incubation at room temperature (RT) in fixing/denaturing solution. Then, cells were incubated with BrdU detection antibody solution at RT for 1 h with gentle shaking. After washing twice, anti-mouse HRP-linked antibody solution was added to each well and the plate was placed at RT for 1 h. After washing 3 times, 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) substrate was added to each well and the absorbance at 450 nm was measured after color development.

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.
