Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were cultivated in RPMI-1640 medium (Biochrom AG, Berlin, Germany) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Pan Biotech, Aidenbach, Germany) and 1% L-glutamine-penicillin-streptomycin solution (GPS; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Missouri, USA). Prior to further stimulation, THP-1 were differentiated with 100 ng/mL phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) for 18 h.
Cells were treated with freshly prepared, sterile-filtered epirubicin (Sigma Aldrich) at concentrations between 0.01 to 5 µg/mL for 24 h, unless stated otherwise. After epirubicin treatment, PM and THP-1 were stimulated for 3 h with LPS from E.coli K12 (InvivoGen, San Diego, CA, USA) at concentrations of 10 or 100 ng/mL, respectively, followed by treatment with freshly prepared 1 mM ATP (InvivoGen, San Diego, CA, USA) for 1 h. For the inhibition of autophagy, 300 nM bafilomycin (Invivogen, San Diego, CA, USA) or 10 mM 3-methyl adenine (3-MA; Invivogen, San Diego, CA, USA) were added to the cells simultaneously with LPS, and maintained until the end of the experiment. For TLR2 ligation, cells were incubated either with 108 cells/mL of heat-killed listeria monocytogenes (HKLM; Invivogen, San Diego, CA, USA) or 100 ng/mL Pam3CSK4 (Invivogen, San Diego, CA, USA) for 4 h.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CD4+CD25+ Treg cells were enriched from spleens and LNs of miR-181a/b-1+/− or miR-181a/b-1−/− mice using a MACS isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany). Cells were incubated in the absence or presence of 50 nM bafilomycin (InvivoGen, San Diego, CA, USA) and collected after 30, 60, 120, and 180 min. Samples were stained with αCD4, αCD25, and αhCD2 (Foxp3) antibodies and intracellularly for CTLA-4. For intracellular stainings, the Foxp3/transcription factor staining buffer set (eBioscience) was used according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Samples were acquired on LSRII (BD Biosciences). Data were analyzed with FlowJo software, v.9.4.9 (Tree Star). For analysis, dead cells and debris were excluded via staining with Zombie Aqua reagent (BioLegend) prior to fixation and permabilization of cells.

Mycobacterial RNA was extracted from gamma-irradiated Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (BEI Resources, NR-14819) with InnuPrep RNA Mini Kit (Analytik Jena, Germany). Purity was confirmed by Scandrop analysis (Analytik Jena). A 260 nm/280 nm extinction quotient of 1.9-2.0 was considered pure. For transfection, if not otherwise specified, LyoVec (Invivogen) was used in a 3 µg/100 µL dilution according to protocol.

Listeria Infection of Macrophages

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The recombinant Listeria strains have been previously described [24 (link)]. For in vitro infections, they were grown to an OD600 of 0.6–1.0 in BHI media (Sigma Aldrich) with 10 ug/ml chloramphenicol (Sigma Aldrich) at 30°C. Macrophages were infected with the Listeria strains using a MOI 50, for 45 minutes. Extracellular bacteria were eliminated by adding 60 ug/ml gentamicin (Sigma Aldrich) for 20 minutes. Bacterial burden was assessed by lysing the infected macrophages with 1% TritonX-100 in PBS, and plating serial dilutions of the lysate on BHI agarose supplemented with 10ug/ml chloramphenicol (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). Recombinant listeriolysin (Prospec, East Brunswick, NJ) was added in some experiments at 2 ug/ml for 30 minutes, and any excess was washed away. Bafilomycin (InvivoGen, San Diego, CA) was added in some experiments at 5 uM for 30 minute, before being washed away.

Inducing Mitochondrial Stress and Autophagy

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
iHF and MEF were cultivated at 37 °C and 5% CO2 in DMEM—with (iHF) or without (MEF) GlutaMAX—and supplemented with 10% FBS and 100 U/mL of penicillin/streptomycin (both, Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Mitochondrial stress was induced by cultivating cells in growth medium containing 50 µM of carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone (CCCP, Biomol, Hamburg, Germany) for 6 h. Autophagy was induced by cultivating cells in growth medium containing 400 nM of rapamycin (Merck Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA) for 6 h. To induce autophagy and block the fusion of autophagosomes and lysosomes, cells were cultivated in growth medium containing 400 nM of rapamycin for 4 h, followed by a 2 h cultivation in fresh growth medium containing 400 nM of rapamycin and 50 nM of bafilomycin (Invivogen, San Diego, CA, USA). Controls were cultivated in growth medium containing dimethyl sulfide (DMSO, Roth, Germany), which was used as a solvent for rapamycin and bafilomycin for equivalent time periods.

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.
