HEK293T cells were washed with ice cold PBS before lysis. HMC-1.1 and HMC-1.2 cells (106 cells/ml) were treated with vehicle (DMSO) or inhibitors (60 min) (Merck Millipore). HMC-1.1 cells were then left unstimulated or were stimulated with IL-33 (peprotech). Ba/F3 cells, NF-κB-EGFP-MC/9 cells or BMMCs (106 cells/ml) were IL-3-starved (1 h). Afterwards, Ba/F3 cells were treated with DMSO or the IKK-inhibitor VII (60 min). MC/9 cells and BMMCs were DMSO- or inhibitor-treated (30 min) and were single (SCF or IL-33) or co-stimulated (SCF and IL-33) (peprotech). Cells were lysed (20 mM HEPES, pH7.5; 10 mM EDTA; 40 mM β-glycerophosphate; 2,5 mM MgCl2; 2 mM orthovanadate; 1 mM dithiothreitol; 20 μg/ml aprotinin; 20 μg/ml leupeptin supplemented with 1% Triton) and protein concentration was determined by using the BCA-kit (Pierce). Then protein samples were boiled in 6 × Laemmli buffer.

Standards and samples were applied to plates and incubated for either 1 hour (IL-8) or 2 hours (IL-33, VEGF, TGF-β1, and IL-10). The activation of latent TGF-β1 in supernatants was assessed by adding 1 N HCl for 10 minutes and stopped with 1.2 N NaOH/0.5 M HEPES. Next, the respective detection antibodies were incubated for either 1 hour (IL-8 and IL-10) or 2 hours (IL-33, VEGF, and TGF-β1) and subsequently incubated with a streptavidin-HRP for 20-30 minutes. TMB substrate solution (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was added and incubated for 20 minutes (IL-8, IL-33, VEGF and TGF-β1) or 30 minutes (IL-10) in dark at room temperature. After adding 0.18 M H2SO4 (IL-8) and 2 N H2SO4 (IL-33, VEGF, TGF-β1, and IL-10) to stop the reaction, the optical densities at 450 nm were measured using Multiskan™ FC Microplate Photometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

The ILC2 differentiation potential of hematopoietic progenitors was performed as previously reported (Wong et al., 2012 (link)). In brief, freshly sorted CLPs from the Bcl11bflox/floxRosa26CreERT2/CreERT2 and control Bcl11b+/+ Rosa26CreERT2/CreERT2 mice that were treated with Tam 4 d earlier (4.0 mg Tam by intraperitoneal injection over three consecutive days) were cultured on OP9-DL1 monolayers in the presence of 10 ng/ml IL-7 (PeproTech) and 10 ng/ml IL-33 (PeproTech) for 22 d.
For the short-term fate assay, purified Bcl11bChILPs and Bcl11b+ChILPs were cultured on OP9 monolayers in the presence of 25 ng/ml IL-7 (PeproTech) and 25 ng/ml Stem Cell Factor (SCF; PeproTech) for 6 d as previously described (Constantinides et al., 2014 (link)).
For deleting Bcl11b in ILC2s, sorted ILC2Ps from the BM of Bcl11bfloxfloxRosa26CreERT2/CreERT2 and control mice were cultured on OP9-DL1 monolayers in the presence of 20 ng/ml IL-7, 20 ng/ml SCF, and 10 ng/ml IL-2 or 20 ng/ml IL-7 plus 20 ng/ml IL-25 or plus 20 ng/ml IL-33. After 3–5 d, Tam was added in the medium to induce Bcl11b deletion in vitro. Cells were collected and analyzed 10–14 d after Tam treatment.

Murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) were isolated and characterized as previously described(22 (link)). Briefly, bone marrow was harvested from 6- to 8-week-old B6 mice, B6 st2−/− mice, or Balb/c st2−/− mice. Harvested cells from the bone marrow were washed and plated at 2 × 106 cells/mL and were allowed to differentiate into macrophages for 7 days in the presence of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (MCSF) with complete medium changes every 48 h. Macrophages were then activated for 24 h with one of the following: 1) 20 ng/mL Interferon-γ (IFNγ) and 100 ng/mL lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (Affymetrix eBioscience, Santa Clara, CA; Sigma Aldrich) to promote an MIFNγ+LPS phenotype (M1-like); 2) 20 ng/mL interleukin (IL)-4 (Invitrogen) to promote an MIL-4 phenotype (M2-like); 3) 20 ng/ml IL-33 (Peprotech), or 4) 25 µg/mL of wt mouse MBV, IL-33−/− mouse MBV, or porcine SIS-MBV. After the incubation period at 37°C, cells were washed with sterile PBS and lysates prepared using RIPA buffer for immunoblot analysis, or cells fixed with 2% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for immunolabeling.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were administered 1 μg recombinant IL-33 (ThermoFisher Scientific) for 1 week as detailed above in “recombinant IL-33 and G-CSF administration”. At 24 hours after the final IL-33 dose, lung tissue was extracted and single cell suspensions were obtained as described above in “Cell recovery and isolation”. ILC2s were sorted as described in “FACS of T cells and ILC2s”. Post sort, the isolated ILC2s were immediately plated in medium containing DMEM + 10% FCS, IL-7 (5 ng/ml; PeproTech) containing IL-33 (10 ng/ml; PeproTech) or lacking IL-33. Respective wells were subsequently supplemented with either media, 10 ng/ml G-CSF or 100 ng/ml G-CSF for 72 hours. After 72 hours, the supernatant was collected for the measurement of IL-5 and IL-13 by ELISA and the cells were lysed in 350 μl RLT buffer (Qiagen) for RNA analysis. The lysed cells were assessed for mRNA expression of Il5, Il13 and Gata3.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were sensitized and challenged using a previously described protocol known to induce mast cell-dependent allergic inflammation22 (link). To study the effects of IL-33, the protocol was modified by introducing intranasal IL-33 instillations to sensitized mice before each antigen challenge. Mice were sensitized via i.p. injections with 10 µg/dose OVA (grade V; Sigma-Aldrich) in 100 µL saline or sham-sensitized with the equivalent volume of saline alone on days 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 (Fig. 1a). The mice were then challenged with 200 µg/dose OVA in 20 µL PBS or PBS alone via i.n. instillation on days 39, 42 and 45. IL-33 (eBioscience, San Diego, CA, USA) (0.2 µg of IL-33 in 20 µL PBS) or PBS alone were given, before each OVA-challenge, via i.n. instillation on days 37, 38, 41 and 44. Lung mechanics measurements and tissue collection were performed 24 hours following the final OVA challenge.
