For the transwell migration assays, Hardy fr.A-D cells were magnetically sorted from BM of wt and Irf4−/− mice as described above (with addition of FITC-conjugated anti-Igµ antibody), and 2 × 105 cells in RPMI (without additives, FCS-free) containing 10 ng/mL rmIL-7 seeded in 50 µL in the top chamber of 96-well 5 µm pore uncoated 96-well transwell plates (HTS transwell® Corning). The bottom chamber was flooded with 200 µL RPMI containing indicated concentrations of rmCXCL12 (Peprotech). After 16 h, inserts were removed, cells in the bottom chamber were collected, counted, and analyzed for B220 surface expression using flow cytometry. The fraction of migrated cells was calculated as n(migrated) × freqB220(migrated)/n(input) × freqB220(input). Normalization to B220+ cells reduced interexperimental differences due to differences in cell purity after magnetic selection. For OP-9 adhesion assays, 5 × 103 OP-9 cells (a gift from Hyun-Dong Chang, DRZF Berlin) were seeded in 96-well microtiter plates 24 h before the assay. On the day of the assay, fr.A-D cells were purified as above and 2 × 105 fr.A-D cells were seeded on top of OP-9 monolayers in RPMI complete + 10 ng/mL rmIL-7. Plates were centrifuged briefly to accelerate cell descension. After 1 h, suspended cells were collected in the supernatant and by washing OP-9 monolayers two times with PBS.

Measuring Epithelial Barrier Function

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
TEER is the potential difference across the epithelium, which is a
measure of the tightness of the cell–cell contacts within the epithelium,
can be measured using a pair of electrodes.52 (link) PBECs were plated on 0.4 mm, 6.5 cm2 per
well, 24-well plates (Corning, HTS Transwell, Tewksbury, MA) and allowed to
grow. Cell confluence was monitored by TEER measurements with the Millicell-ERS
system (Millipore, Billerica, MA). The TEER value is an indication of the
integrity of the epithelial cell monolayers.52 (link) Once TEER value reached a steady state of around
1,200–1,300 Ω cm 2 at days 5–6, supernatants
from aged or young DCs were added in the bottom chamber underneath the insert
membrane and TEER measurement were performed 24 h after addition. The mean of
three measurements per insert was calculated. The electrical resistance of
filters without cells (value around 100 Ω) was subtracted from all
samples, and the resistance values were multiplied with the surface area of the
inserts.
Permeability was also assayed with a Flourimeter (Molecular Devices,
Downingtown, PA) by measuring the basolateral passage of a 4-kDa FITC-dextran
(Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO) following application of FITC-dextran to cells
apically and incubating for 24 h at 37°C. FITC-dextran was added 24 h
after the addition of supernatants.

Raw264.7 cells or iBMDMs were co‐cultured with 4T1 tumor cells by using a Transwell culture system with 0.4 μm pore polyester membrane inserts (Corning HTS Transwell, Corning, NY, USA) for 3 days. For the macrophage study, Raw264.7 cells or iBMDMs were seeded in 6‐well plates at 1 × 105 cells/well, and 4T1 cells were seeded at 4 × 105 cells/well in Transwell chambers. For the tumor cell study, 4T1 cells were seeded on plates, while Raw264.7 cells or iBMDMs were seeded in Transwell chambers.

Figure 1 provides a schematic of the resolvin pre-treatment and neutrophil migration assay. RvD1, RvD2 and RvE1 were diluted to 500nM or 2000nM in RPMI medium. 5ml of dHL60 cells were exposed to either 5ml of RPMI medium with RvD1, RvD2 or RvE1 (500nM or 2000nM), or 5ml of RPMI medium vehicle (control) for 15 min at 37°C. 600µl of 100nM N-formyl-methionine-leucine-phenylalanine (fMLP), a strong neutrophil chemoattractant, were added to the bottom of each well of a 24-well plate. Each well received a Corning HTS Transwell® for 24 well plates with a 8µm filter. 300µl of 3×105 dHL60 cells that had been pre-treated with resolvins was added on top of the filters. Then, the plates were incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere for two hours. After this, trypsin was added to the bottom wells in order to detach the cells and prepare them for counting using trypan blue and a hemocytometer.

Cell invasion assays were performed using 96-well HTS transwells (Corning Life Sciences ,Tewksbury ,MA) coated with 0.5-1X BME (Trevigen Inc., Gaithersburg, MD). Endometrial cancer cells or the cells transfected with siRNA hTERT (50,000/well) were starved for 12 hours and then seeded in the upper chambers of the wells in 50 μl FBS-free medium. The lower chambers were filled with 150 μl regular medium or with BIBR. The plate was incubated for 24 hours at 37°C to allow cell invasion into the lower chamber. After washing the upper and lower chambers with PBS once, 100 ul Calcein AM solution was added into lower chamber and incubated at 37°C for 30-60 minutes. The lower chamber plate was measured using a plate reader for reading fluorescence at EX/EM 485/520 nm. The experiments were repeated three times

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.
