Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from buffy-coated blood of healthy blood donors using Ficoll-Hypaque gradient centrifugation (BD Diagnostics, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). To isolate monocytes the EasySep Human monocyte enrichment kit without CD16 depletion was used according to manufacturer’s protocols (StemCell Technologies, Vancouver, Canada). PBMCs and monocytes were seeded into 6-well plates and incubated in absence (control) used as controls, or presence of IL-34 or CSF-1 (10 and 50 ng/ml, BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA) for 1, 6 and 24 h. CSF-1R blocking antibody or IgG1 control (50 ng/ml, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) were added together with IL-34 or CSF-1 and incubated for 6 and 24 h.
Macrophages were generated at day 8 from 5x105 monocytes plated per well in 6 well plates with complete RPMI media supplemented with 50 ng/ml CSF-1 or IL-34 (Biolegend, San Diego, CA, USA). The cells were polarized on day 8 with LPS/IFN-γ (50 ng/ml, BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA) or IL-4/IL-13 (50 ng/ml, BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA) into M1 or M2-like monocyte derived macrophages, respectively, for 24 h, and non-polarized monocyte derived macrophages were used as controls.

Cell suspensions of mouse bone marrow were prepared by centrifugation of femurs, tibias and humerus with phosphate buffer saline followed by red blood cell lysis and filtering through a sterile 70 μm filter. The cells were suspended in D-MEM with L-Glutamine (Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Industries) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 μg/mL streptomycin, 0.1 mM MEM nonessential amino acids, 55 μM 2-mercaptoethanol and FLT3L 100 ng/mL (#550704; BioLegend) (DC medium). Cells were seeded at 8×106 cells per well in 4 mL of DC medium with ‘IL-34 100 ng/mL (#577608; BioLegend) or nothing’ and ‘niraparib 2.5 μM or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)’ in 6-well plate and cultured at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 9 days without replating medium.

Stimulation Assays of Immune Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Short-term stimulation assays were performed in 100 µl whole blood with 100 ng/ml CSF1 (Biolegend) and 100 ng/ml LPS Escherichia coli K12 (Invivogen). Longer stimulation assays (48 hours and 7 days) were performed on PBMCs in polypropylene plates in RPMI-1640 media supplemented with 10% FCS (Sigma). The 48 hours stimulation utilised the following immune stimuli: 100 ng/ml CSF1, 100 ng/ml IL-4, 100 ng/ml IFNγ (all Biolegend), 500 nM Dexamethasone (Sigma), 100 ng/ml LPS, 100 ng/ml PAM3CSK, 100 ng/ml FLAG, 100 ng/ml FSL1, and 108 Listeria cells (All Invitrogen). After stimulation, cells were harvested, and stained as above. The 7-day stimulation utilised the following LDCs: CSF1, IL-34, CSF2, CSF3, IL-3, IL-7, IL-15, and FLT3L (All 25 ng/ml, Biolegend). After stimulation, cells were harvested and stained as above.

Caco-2 cells (American Type Culture Collection, Rockville, MD, USA) were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS (Gibco-Brl/Life Technologies, Paisley, UK), 1% NEEA (Gibco-Brl/Life Technologies, Paisley, UK), and 1% Glutamax (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) at 37°C and 5% CO2. Cells were seeded in 6- or 24-well plates and after attachment for 48 hours the media was changed and the cells were incubated in the absence (controls) or presence of IL-34 and/or CSF-1 (10 ng/ml, BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA) for 6 hours. Cell lysates from 24-well plate were subjected to RNA-isolation and cell lysates and supernatants from 6 well plates were subjected to protein analysis.

Microglial Activation and Signaling Pathways

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagles medium (DMEM, Sigma) conditioned with Fetal bovine serum 10% (vol/vol) (FBS, Sigma) and Penicillin/Streptomycin 1% (vol/vol) (Sigma) and M-CSF 20 ng/ml (R&D) or IL-34 (Biolegend). CSF1R was inhibited by PLX3397 10 ng/ml (Selleckchem) and ERK1/2 were inhibited using SCH772984 (Selleckchem) 3 ng/ml. For in vitro assays and transcriptome analysis microglial cells were sorted from single-cell suspensions by Flow cytometry employing the protocol described above or by magnetic beads. By Flow cytometry, cells from mouse CNS were sorted using a BD Influx cell sorter. Microglia were sorted as live CD11b+ CD45Intermediate Ly6G with enhanced yellow fluorescent protein (eYFP+) (Fig. S1) followed by P-ERK 1/2 and P-Akt gating (Fig. 3). For bulk microglia sorting in naïve mouse CNS, we used CD11b magnetic beads and column magnetic cell sorter (MACS, Miltenyi Biotec). Neuronal cells for co-cultures were established from cells isolated P5 mouse CNS and cultured with Neurobrew (Miltenyi biotec) for 14 days before microglia were added.

PBMCs (peripheral blood mononuclear cells) were isolated from buffy-coated blood using Ficoll-Hypaque gradient centrifugation (BD Diagnostics), followed by monocyte isolation using the EasySep Human monocyte enrichment kit without CD16 depletion (StemCell Technologies), according to the manufacturers’ protocols. Then, 5×105 monocytes/well were plated in six-well plates with complete RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 50 ng/ml CSF-1 or IL-34 (BioLegend) for 8 days to generate macrophages.

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.
