PBMCs were isolated from heparinized blood by Ficoll-Hypaque density-gradient centrifugation (Pharmacia Biotech). In some experiments, cells were stimulated with 2.5 μg/ml anti-CD40 (eBioscience) and 20 ng/ml phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA; Calbiochem) at 37°C in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 for 48 hours. For stimulation with cytokines, 100 ng/ml recombinant human IL-6 (rhIL-6), 10 ng/ml rhTNF, 10 ng/ml rhIL-1β, or 100 ng/ml rhIL-17A (all from R&D Systems), each in combination with 2.5 μg/ml anti-CD40, was used. To assay for soluble RANKL in culture supernatants, B cells were isolated from PBMCs using CD19 microbeads, and separation was performed with a magnetic-activated cell sorter (Miltenyi Biotec). The cells were then cultured for 48 hours in the presence of anti-CD40 and PMA. Thereafter, the medium was replaced and the cells were returned to culture at 37°C in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 for an additional 5 days. Soluble RANKL was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA; PeproTech), in accordance with the manufacturer’s protocol.

Autophagy inducer PP242 was purchased from Selleck chemicals (Houston, TX). Anti-CXCR4-APC (eBioscience, San Diego, CA, anti-VLA-4-APC (BD Bioscience, San Jose, CA) and anti-VCAM-1-APC (Biolegend, San Diego, CA) were used for FACs analysis. The following antibodies were used for Western blot: anti-Gli1 (Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA), anti-Gli2 (Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX), anti-Ptch1 (Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX), anti-FAK (AbCam, Cambridge, MA), anti-phospho-FAK (Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA), anti-paxillin (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA), anti-phospho-paxillin (Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA), anti-SDF-1 (Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX), anti-IL-6 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN), anti-LC3 (Novus Biologicals, Littleton, CO), and anti-GAPDH (Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA). Recombinant human SDF-1 (rhSDF-1) was purchased from Pepro Tech (Rocky Hill, NJ), and recombinant human IL-6 (rhIL-6) was purchased from R&D System (Minneapolis, MN). CXCR4 antagonist AMD3100, 2,7-dichlorodihydrofluorescein-diacetate (DCH-FDA, 50MG), ROS inhibitor N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), FITC-labeled phalloidin, l-alpha-lysophosphatidylcholine, and autophagy inhibitor 3-MA were all purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St Louis, MO).

Linoleic acid, sodium taurocholate (TC) and other chemicals were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). Recombinant human IL-6 (r-h-IL-6) and recombinant human TNF-α (r-h-TNF-α) were purchased from R&D Systems, Inc. (Minneapolis, MN, USA). Dulbecco’s modified essential medium (DMEM), fetal bovine serum (FBS) and antibiotic: antimycotic mixture were obtained from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Carlsbad, CA, USA).

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.
