A naturally transformed line of chicken macrophages named HTC cells [22 (link)] were cultured in Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI) 1640 media (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Carlsbad, CA) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (Thermo Fisher Scientific), 1X antibiotic antimycotic solution (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA), 1X sodium pyruvate solution (Sigma-Aldrich), gentamicin solution (Sigma-Aldrich), 10 mM glutamine solution (Thermo Fisher Scientific) at 37°C for 24–48 h in a humidified incubator containing 5% CO2 as described earlier with minor modifications. The cells were cultured to semi-confluence followed by dissociation with Accumax (Sigma-Aldrich) to perform different assays.

BMDMs were obtained by flushing the femurs from WT and C/EBPδ KO mice. Erythrocytes were depleted by osmotic shock. Cells were washed and separated using a Ficoll gradient (PAN-Biotech). Primary monocytes (M0) were generated by culturing for 3 days in DMEM containing with 10% FBS (Biowest) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin solution (Sigma-Aldrich), 1% glutamine solution (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and 15% of L929 supernatant as a source of macrophage colony-stimulating factor. Stimulation of cells with 50 ng/ml IFN-γ (ImmunoTools) and 10 ng/ml LPS (Sigma-Aldrich) for 24 hr was used for M1-polarization, whereas a 24 hr stimulation with 20 ng/ml IL-4 (Peprotech) led to M2-polarization of BMDMs.

Mouse hippocampal neurons were isolated from postnatal day 1 (P1) C57BL/6J mice, as described [23 (link)], with slight modifications. Briefly, the hippocampus was dissected in Hank’s balanced salt solution (HBSS) and incubated at 37 °C for 15 min with trypsin/ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). After 3 washes in HBSS, tissue was triturated using a sterile 9-inch Pasteur pipette. HBSS was replaced with Neurobasal plating medium (neurobasal medium, Gibco) containing B27 supplement (1:50) (Gibco), 0.5-mM glutamine solution (Gibco), penicillin/streptomycin (Gibco), 1-mM 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) (Hyclone), and 10% heat-inactivated donor horse serum (Gibco). Neuroblasts were plated on poly-D-lysine-coated glass coverslips (p96) at a density of 3 × 104 cells/well and placed in a 37 °C, 5% CO2 incubator overnight. Next day, in vitro neurobasal plating medium was replaced with neurobasal feeding medium (neurobasal medium containing B27 supplement (1:50), 0.5-mM glutamine solution, penicillin/streptomycin (1:200), and 1-mM HEPES). Half of the feeding medium was replaced with fresh medium every 4 days.

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated by gradient centrifugation (1.077 g/ml Pancoll, PAN Biotech) from fresh EDTA blood or buffy coats (German Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service, Berlin) of healthy donors, followed by immunomagnetic depletion of CD3+/CD19+/CD20+/CD56+/CD235a+ cells using biotinylated antibodies (Biolegend) and MagniSort Streptavidin Negative Selection Beads (Invitrogen) (Key resources table). Subsequently monocyte subsets were sorted using a BD FACSAria SORP cell sorter (BD Biosciences) starting with HLA-DR+, CD3-/CD19-/CD20-/CD56- cells following diverse gating strategies: classical monocytes (CD14+, CD16-), non-classical monocytes (CD14dim CD16+), myeloid dendritic cells (cDC2) (CD14-/CD16-/CD141-/CD304-, CD1c+), and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (CD14-/CD16-/CD141-/CD1c-, CD304+). Cells were washed in RPMI 1640 (GIBCO) supplemented with 10% (v/v) FCS (Sigma), 1% (v/v) non-essential amino acid solution (Sigma), 1% (v/v) HEPES (Sigma), 1% (v/v) Glutamine solution (GIBCO) and 1% (v/v) sodium pyruvate (GIBCO).

CaCo-2 cells were obtained from Health Protection Agency Culture Collections (Salisbury, UK: order no. 86010202). The genotype (STR profiles according to ATCC documentation; CaCo-2 HTB-37) had been analyzed at the start of this study.
The cells were cultured in modified minimum essential Eagle medium (MEM) according to Sigma (product no. M2279, Buchs, CH), with different concentrations of heat-inactivated FCS (1, 5 and 10%) (Lonza, Verviers, B; Cat. No. DE14-801FH, Lot No. 9SBO22H2), 1% penicillin–streptomycin–neomycin-solution (PSN, Gibco, Life Technologies, Basel, CH), 1% glutamine solution (Gibco, Life Technologies), 1% non-essential amino acid solution (Sigma), 1 mM sodium pyruvate (Gibco, Life Technologies) and 1% vitamin solution (Sigma) under uniform cell culture conditions (5% CO2, 95% humidity and 37 °C). The cultures were passaged once weekly before use in the experiments.

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.
