Isolation and Culture of Mouse Mast Cells

Mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) were cultured as described (9 (link)). Mouse bone marrow-derived basophils were cultured in cRPMI supplemented with recombinant IL-3 at 20ng/ml (Biolegend, San Diego, CA), for 7-10 days, then sorted by flow cytometry selecting for CD49b-positive cells (Biolegend). Peritoneal lavage cells were cultured in cRPMI containing IL-3 (5ng/ml) and SCF (10ng/ml) for 5 days. Mast cells were positively selected using the EasySep Magnet from StemCell Technologies (Vancouver, BC), with c-Kit as a positive marker. Flow cytometry confirmed purity, which was essentially 100%.

Bone marrow mast cell (BMMC) isolation and differentiation was performed as previously described (32 (link)). Briefly, the femur and tibia of C57BL/6 mice were collected and the muscles were removed, and then the bone marrow (including the stem cells and progenitor cells) were flushed from the tibia and femur with repeated injections of ice cold PBS with a syringe using aseptic techniques. The harvested cells were then washed twice with PBS, and then resuspend and differentiated in culture media [RPMI 1,640 medium containing 2 mM L-glutamine, 15% FCS, 1 x Penicillin/streptomycin, 10 mM HEPES (all from Thermo Fisher, Hampton, NH, USA), 0.07% β-mercaptoethanol (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA), and 30 ng/mL recombinant IL-3 (BioLegend®, San Diego, CA, USA)]. Fresh media was added every third day to the culture and the differentiation of BMMC was completed after 6 weeks of culture. Differentiation was monitored by FACS analysis (described under flow cytometer analysis).
After 6 weeks of differentiation, the isolated BMMCs were stimulated with mature recombinant mMCP6 prepared above and recombinant mMCP7 for specified times. BMMCs were lysed for RNA extraction and real-time quantitative reverse-transcriptase PCR.

Modulating IL-3 Complexes and CXCR4 Inhibition

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the treatment of IL-3 complexes, 10 μg of recombinant IL-3 (BioLegend) was mixed with 5 μg of anti-IL-3 antibody (BioLegend; clone: MP2-8F8, catalog#: 503910) to form an IL-3 complex53 (link). The IL-3 complex or control PBS was then intraperitoneally administered to mice. Single cell suspensions were prepared from the peripheral blood of mice 4 days after administration and subjected to flow cytometric analysis. For CXCR4 inhibitor treatment, mice were intraperitoneally treated with a single administration of AMD3100 (200 μg per mouse; abcam) or control PBS. Single cell suspensions were prepared from the spleen, and peripheral blood 1 h after treatment and subjected to flow-cytometric analysis.

Sorted microglia were cultured in complete medium (RPMI-1640 supplemented with 10%FBS, 2mM L-glutamine, 10Uml−1 penicillin and streptomycin, 10mM HEPES, 50μM 2-mercaptoethanol, 1mM sodium pyruvate and 1x nonessential amino acids) and kept in humidified 5% CO2 incubator at 37°C. Microglia were exposed to 20ng/ml recombinant IL-3 (Biolegend) and/or 2μg/ml Beta-Amyloid (1-42) HiLyte™ conjugated to pHrodo iFL red (Invitrogen) for 3 hours. T-cells. Naive T cells were isolated from the spleen and lymph nodes using a Naive T cell isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotec) and cultured on anti-CD3 (2 μg/mL) coated plates in the presence of soluble anti-CD28 (2 μg/mL) and rmIL-2 (10 μg/mL) for 3 days and re-stimulated with PMA (100 ng/mL) and ionomycin (500 ng/mL) in the presence of GolgiPlug and GolgiStop (1:1000) for 3.5 hours prior to cell surface staining and analysis.

Intracerebral Delivery of rIL-3 via Cannula and Osmotic Minipump

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cannula and osmotic minipump (Alzet) implantation were performed as previously described11 (link). Briefly, mice were anesthetized, the head was shaved and secured in a stereotactic frame (Stoelting). An incision was made above the skull extending behind the shoulder blades. A small hole was drilled in the skull at AP −1; ML −0.27 from bregma and depth 2mm from dura to target the lateral ventricle. The cannula was inserted and glued to the skull. The cannula was connected to an osmotic minipump filled with recombinant IL-3 (Biolegend) conjugated to an anti-IL-3 antibody (Biolegend) as previously described3 . Minipumps delivered rIL-3 into the ventricle at a rate of 1μ/day. Minipumps were implanted subcutaneously caudal the shoulder blades. At the end of the procedure the incision was sutured using mononylon 5.0 (Ethicon).

Bone marrow was obtained from mouse femurs. The distal and proximal ends of the femurs were cut off and the bone marrow was flushed out with cold PBS using a syringe. Total cells were count (Neubauer chamber), washed once with sterile PBS. A total amount of 6 x 10 6 or 3 x 10 6 bone marrow cells were cultured in 10 ml RPMI complete medium (glutamine 20 µM, 10 % FCS, β-mercaptoethanol 50 µM, gentamycin 50 µg/ml) supplemented with 10 ng/ml M-CSF (Biolegend) for BMM generation or 10 ng/ml GM-CSF (Biolegend) for BMDC generation. At day 3, 5 ml BMM and 10 ml BMDC medium was added to the corresponding cells. At day 6, total BMM medium was replaced with 10 ml fresh one while half of the BMDC medium was replaced with fresh one. After 7 days, the cells were ready for experimental use.
For the generation of BMMCs, 10 x 10 6 bone marrow cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium containing + L-glutamine, 10 mM HEPES, 10% FCS, 50 µM gentamicin, 50 µM β-mercaptoethanol, 70 µM non-essential amino acids, 1 mM sodium pyruvate (Sigma) and recombinant IL-3 (10 ng/ml, Biolegend). BMMCs were transferred into a new petri dish with new BMMC medium every 3-4 days. BMMCs were ready to use after one month.

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.
