To study the responsiveness of NK cells to IL-15, splenocytes were resuspended with RPMI 1640 medium and plated on 24-well plates. Then splenocytes were treated with rmIL-15 (Peprotech, 100 ng/mL) for 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, or 9 days, followed by flow cytometry. To investigate the influence of cytokines on METTL3 expression in NK cells, we treated splenocytes with rmIL-17F (25 ng/mL, Peprotech), rmIL-27 (25 ng/mL, Peprotech), rmIL-10 (25 ng/mL, Peprotech), rmIL-15 (25 ng/mL, Peprotech), rmTGF-β (25 ng/mL, R&D) and rmIL-18 (25 ng/mL, R&D) for 3 days. To study the effect of MC38 cells on METTL3 expression in NK cells, purified NK cells were cocultured with MC38 cells under the stimulation of rmIL-15 (10 ng/mL) with the presence or absence of SIS3 (20 μM, APExBIO, Houston, TX, USA) or GW788388 (20 μM, APExBIO) for 2 days. To observe the effects of SHP-2 on the NK cells, splenocytes were treated with rmIL-15 (50 ng/mL, Peprotech) with or without SHP-2 inhibitor SHP099 (4 μM, Selleck, Houston, TX, USA) for 3 days.

To generate bone marrow derived macrophages and cDC1, bone marrow leukocytes were resuspended at 1.5×107 cells/10mL in DC media (RMPI 1640 + 25mM HEPES + 10% FBS, 1% L-glutamine, 1% 200mM sodium pyruvate, 1% MEM-NEAA, 1% penicillin-streptomycin, 0.5% sodium bicarbonate, 0.01% 55 mM 2-mercaptoethanol supplemented with 200 ng/mL FLT3-L and 50 ng/mL GMCSF) or macrophage media (DMEM + 10%FBS, 1% L-glutamine, 1% penicillin-streptomycin, 0.5% sodium pyruvate, supplemented with 50 ng/ml M-CSF and then plated in 10cm non-TC treated culture dishes (Corning). Bone marrow leukocytes were then cultured for 9 days in DC media with an additional 5 mL of DC media added on D5. cDCP were either harvested on D9 or media was changed and BM-cDC1 were used for experiments on D15 as described previously (Mayer et al., 2014 (link)). BMDM are cultured for 7 days in macrophage media, with a media change on D3. Isolated ILC1 and NK cells were cultured in CR-10 (RMPI 1640 + 25 mM HEPES + 10% FBS, 1% L-glutamine, 1% 200 mM sodium pyruvate, 1% MEM-NEAA, 1% penicillin-streptomycin, 0.5% sodium bicarbonate, 0.01% 55 mM 2-mercaptoethanol) supplemented with 50ng rmIL-15 (Peprotech). Purified ILC1’s and NK cells were cultured 16 hours prior to electroporation in TC treated plates at ~5 × 105 cells / cm2.

1.5 × 106 splenocytes were cultured on antibody coated plates (anti-NKp46 (Goat polyclonal, R&D), anti-NK1.1 (PK136, BioXCell) at 10 µg/ml on Immulon 2HB or Nunclon plates) with Golgi-stop (BD Biosciences) in the presence of anti-CD107a for 4 hr. Cytokines and mTOR inhibitors were used at the following concentrations unless otherwise stated: rmIL-15 (Peprotech; 100 ng/ml), IL-2 (muIL-2 supernatant; 200 U/ml), Rapamycin (Calbiochem; 25 nM), KU-0063794 (Stemgent; 3 µM), AZD2014 (Selleckchem; 5 µM) and Torin2 (Tocris; 250 nM). Surface and intracellular stainings were then performed and IFN-γ production as well as CD107a exposure was measured by flow cytometry. In some experiments, cell viability was determined using 7AAD (Invitrogen, 250 nM).
For phospho-flow stainings following short-term NK1.1 stimulation, 3 × 106 splenocytes were stimulated using biotinylated NK1.1 (PK136, 5 µg/ml) followed 1 min 30 s later by streptavidin (Life Technologies, 10 µg/ml) and fixed by addition of 10 volumes of Lyse/Fix at the indicated time point.

For all signaling assays, non-sorted splenocytes or lymph node cells were serum-starved for 1 h at 37 °C before stimulation in complete media without serum. For evaluation of TCR signaling, splenocytes and lymphocytes were stimulated with 20 μg/mL anti-CD3ε (145-2C11; Biolegend) and 50 µg/mL anti-IgG (polyclonal, α-Armenian hamster, Jackson ImmunoResearch) for the indicated times69 (link),70 (link). For evaluation of pSTAT5 signaling, cells were stimulated for 15 min with recombinant human IL-2 (rhIL-2; NIH AIDS Reagent Program) at indicated concentrations, recombinant mouse IL-15 (rmIL-15; Peprotech) at indicated concentrations, or 10 ng/mL recombinant IL-7 (rmIL-7; Peprotech). Immediately following stimulation cells were fixed with a final concentration of 1.5% methanol-free formaldehyde (Fisher Scientific; Cat. PI28906) for 15 min, and permeabilized with 500 µL of ice-cold methanol per 1 × 106 cells for 30 min69 (link),71 (link). Cells were washed twice with PBS/2%FBS (Omega Scientific) then stained for 60 min in anti-CD4 (RM4-5), anti-CD8α (53-6.7), anti-FoxP3 (FJK-16s), anti-pSTAT5 (Y694; C71E5; Cell Signaling Technologies) or anti-pS6 (S235/236; D57.2.2E; Cell Signaling Technologies), and, for exclusion of non-relevant cells, anti-CD45R (B220; RA3-6B2), anti-CD11b (MI/70), anti-CD11c (N418), and anti-Ly-6G (Gr-1; RB6-8C5).

CD8+ cells were enriched from spleen cell preparations via positive selection using anti-CD8a (Ly-2) microbeads (Miltenyi Biotech) and then CD45.2+CD3+CD8+ T cells were sorted by flow cytometry. 5x104 cells were seeded in wells of a 96-well plate with 100μL RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 1mM sodium pyruvate, 10mM HEPES, 50μM mercaptoethanol, and 10% FCS with 40ng/mL rmIL-15 (Peprotech). Alternatively, wells were coated with anti-CD3 (5μg/mL, clone 145-2C11) and anti-CD28 antibodies (1μg/mL, clone 37.51) at 4°C overnight and then cells were added with 20ng/mL rmIL-2 (R&D systems) for 2 or 3d.

Magnetic beads (CD3 Microbead kit, Pan T Cell Isolation kit II, NK cell isolation kit II; Miltenyi Biotec) were used to deplete T cells in BMCs and to purify donor T cells and donor NK cells from spleens (purity > 90%). Where indicated, NK cells were stimulated for 16– 18 h with 2000 IU/mL rhIL‐2 (Proleukin, Novartis), 10 ng/mL rmIL‐15 (PeproTech), or 10 ng/mL rmIL‐12 (PeproTech) + 10 ng/mL IL‐15 + 50 ng/mL rmIL‐18 (MBL) or for 7 days with 2000 IU/mL rhIL‐2. We found that it is important to wash NK cells thoroughly after preactivation, that is at least three times with a large volume of PBS. LPS‐matured BMDCs were generated as previously described 22. ConA blasts were generated by culturing single cell suspensions from BALB/c spleens for 30 min at 37°C, then collecting nonadherent cells. Nonadherent cells were cultured with 5 μg/mL ConA (Sigma) for 48–72 h before 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.
