CBX and 6-diazo-5-oxo-l-norleucine (DON) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. CBX was used to block GJs and hemichannels, while DON was used to inhibit glutaminase (Gls) and reduce glutamate production [29 ]. CBX was used at a concentration of 20 μM, as in our previous study [27 (link)]. The final concentration of DON was 100 μM [19 (link)]. The final concentrations of anti-tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) antibody (aTNF) and anti-interleukin (IL)-1 receptor antibody (IL-1ra) were 10 μg/mL. All drugs were added to the cell culture 30 min prior to the start of OGD.

We prepared single-cell suspensions of mouse splenocytes as previously described23 (link). We purified murine B cells from splenocytes using a B-cell isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s guidelines.
We cultured B cells in RPMI complete medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). For murine B-cell activation, purified B cells were seeded into 96-well flat-bottom tissue culture plates at a density of 5 × 105 cells/well with or without TLR2 ligand (P3C, 2 μg/mL; InvivoGen, San Diego, CA, USA)/HBV particles [Multiplicity of infection (MOI): 1,000] stimulation for 24 h. In some experiments, we treated the cells with the indicated inhibitors, such as 2-deoxy-d-glucose (2-DG), oligomycin, 6-diazo-5-oxo-l-norleucine (DON), Rapamycin, and Akti-1/2 (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA).

COS-7 cells from green monkey kidney and HeLa cells from human cervical cancer were obtained from the American Tissue Culture Collection (Manassas, VA) and cultured in 8-well Culture Slides (BD Falcon™; CA, USA) for transfection, drug treatment, and immunofluorescence (IIF) analyses. Alternatively, these cells were cultured on round 22 mm-diameter coverslips for microinjection procedures. Both cell lines were cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) with 10% Fetal Calf Serum (FCS) at 37°C and 5% CO2. Adherent cell lines were maintained at 50% confluence.
COS-7 and HeLa cells were treated with compounds reported to induce RR structures [2 (link), 12 (link)]. Ribavirin (Sigma-Aldrich; R9644,) and mycophenolic acid (MPA, Sigma-Aldrich; M3536) were solubilized in tissue culture grade water to a 50 mM stock and 6-diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine (DON, Sigma-Aldrich; D2141) was solubilized in water to a 100 mM stock and stored at -80°C until use. Drugs at various concentrations were added to cell culture 24 h prior to fixation.

Calu-3 cells were seeded in 24-well plate, and after 72 h of seeding, the cells were infected with SARS-CoV-2 at multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.001 for 1 h. Following infection, the cells were treated with Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (Gibco), which contained pyruvate (1 mM) and glutamine (4 mM) as the basal carbon source and were supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum and different concentrations of glucose (11.1, 22.2, and 44.4 mM) (Gibco) and keeping basal glucose concentration at 11.1 mM, different concentrations of mannose (11.1, 22.2, and 44.4 mM) (Sigma–Aldrich). Inhibitors of glycolysis, 2-DG (Sigma–Aldrich), and glutaminolysis, 6-diazo-5-oxo-l-norleucine (DON; Sigma–Aldrich), were reconstituted in water, and cytotoxicity at different concentrations and 24 h time point was determined in Calu-3 cells using alamarBlue Cell Viability Reagent (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer's instructions. To determine the effect of these drugs on viral replication, following 1 hpi (MOI = 0.001), the Calu-3 cells were treated with 2-DG (10 mM) and DON (200 μM), respectively. The supernatants were collected after 24 hpi, and the cells were lysed in TRI reagent (Zymo Research) and stored in −70 °C for RNA extraction.

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.
