DLBCL cell lines were either transfected with different mutant constructs of ezrin, or incubated with ezrin inhibitors, or siRNAs, or treated with the IκB kinase (IKK) inhibitor PS-1145 (Sigma-Aldrich) and viable cell counts were obtained using trypan blue staining. For tumor cell apoptosis assay, single-cell suspensions were obtained by placing tumors in 1 ml dissociation buffer (100 U/ml collagenase type I and 100 µg/ml DNase in RPMI+10% FBS) and incubating at 37°C for 30 min. Cell suspensions were passed through a 40 µ strainer to harvest mononuclear cells, and stained with Annexin V-phycoerythrin conjugate. Surface BCR levels were analyzed by fixing the DLBCL cells with 4% paraformaldehyde and labeling IgM or IgG with Rhodamine Red™-X-conjugated goat anti-human IgM (µ chain-specific) Fab fragment or AlexaFluor 488-conjugated goat anti-human IgG (H+L specific) Fab fragment (Jackson Immunoresearch) for 30 min at 4°C.

In brief, cultured cells were washed and stimulated with PMA plus ionomycin for 5 h. Cells were stained with anti-CD4 PerCP or anti-Thy1.1 PerCP (BioLegend) for 30 min at 4°C. Cells were then fixed, permeabilized with Perm/Wash buffer (BD), and incubated with IL-21R/Fc chimera (R&D Systems) and anti–IL-4 PE, anti–IFN-γ PE, or anti–IL-17A PE for 30 min at 4°C. Cells were then washed with Perm/Wash buffer and stained with allophycocyanin-conjugated affinity-purified F(ab′)2 fragment of donkey anti–human IgG (H+L; Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories) for 30 min at 4°C. Cytokine profiles of CD4+ cells were analyzed on a FACSCalibur with FlowJo software (Tree Star).

Cell Cycle Synchronization and Apoptosis Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell cycle synchronization was achieved by serum starvation and thymidine double blocking (22 (link)). Subsequently, the cells were harvested and stained with 5 µl propidium iodide at 4°C for 30 min in the dark according to the manufacturer's protocol (BestBio). Flow cytometry was performed using a FACScan flow cytometer (BD Biosciences).
Apoptosis was detected using an Annexin V-APC and 7-AAD kit (BioGems International, Inc.) according to the manufacturer's protocol, and flow cytometry was performed on the cells. MNNG/HOS cells were harvested 48 h after transfection or treated with OTSSP167 (10 nM) and subsequently harvested using EDTA-free trypsin, centrifuged at 800 × g for 5 min; and, after washing twice with cold PBS, the cells were resuspended at a concentration of 1×106/ml and stained with 5 µl Annexin V-APC and 5 µl 7-AAD at room temperature for 15 min in the dark. The cells were analyzed by flow cytometry (FACSCalibur) and the results were analyzed using FlowJo software (version 10; TreeStar, Inc.).

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.
