We have previously reported the isolation of DMSCs from the decidua basalis adhering onto the maternal side of the placenta [13 ]. About eight grams of placental tissue was dissected from the basal plate, washed four times in PBS, finely minced and digested in trypsin (0.25%; Life Technologies, CA, USA) and DNAse 1 (50 μg/mL; Worthington, NJ, USA) at 4°C overnight. Fetal bovine serum (FBS; Thermo Scientific, MA, USA) was added to inactivate the trypsin and the digest was centrifuged at 200g for 5 min. The pelleted tissue was digested in type 1 collagenase (10 mg/mL; Worthington) and DNAse 1 (50 μg/mL, Worthington) for 30 min at 37°C and strained through a 100 μm stainless steel sieve. The filtrate was layered over Histopaque (Sigma-Aldrich, MO, USA) and separated by density gradient centrifugation at 400g for 30 min. Mononuclear cell layers containing the DMSCs were aspirated and centrifuged at 200g for 5 min. DMSCs were maintained in α-MEM medium (Sigma-Aldrich) with 10% FBS, penicillin/streptomycin (100 U/mL and 100 mg/mL, respectively; Life Technologies) and 2 mM L-glutamine (Sigma-Aldrich). P0 DMSCs were passaged after reaching 80% confluence and cells were expanded up to P5.

Identical volumes of RNA (representing approximately the same number of cells and ranging from 1 to 2 μg of RNA) were treated with 2 units of DNase I (Worthington) in DNase I buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.0, 10 mM NaCl, 2 mM MgCl2 and 0.5 mM CaCl2) for 15 min at room temperature to degrade any genomic DNA contamination. Afterwards, DNase I heat-inactivated at 75 °C for 10 min. Treated RNAs were reverse-transcribed using the High Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kit (Applied Biosystems). qPCR was performed using SYBR Supermix (Biorad) with ∼50 ng of cDNA as template. Data were normalized relative to measured HPRT levels.

All animal studies were conducted following the guidelines approved by Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC). Mandibles were isolated from euthanized newborn male CD1 mice. Mandibular molar tooth germs were retrieved from the surrounding tissue, rinsed by sterile phosphate‐buffered saline (PBS), and kept in 1.2 U/ml of DispaseII and incubated at 37°C for 40 minutes. After being washed in plain DMEM medium, epithelium and mesenchyme of the tooth germs were separated with fine needles. The Mesenchymal tissues were treated once with 0.25% trypsin (Sigma), 50 U/mL collagenase I and 20 U/mL DNase I for 10 minutes at 37°C; twice with 100 U/mL collagenase I (Worthington) for 10 minutes at 37°C; and once with 0.25% trypsin and 20 U/mL DNase I for 5 minutes at 37°C. The dissociated cells were plated in 6‐well cell culture plates after washed in complete DMEM, and then incubated for 24 hours at 37°C. Adherent cells were used as TGMCs. Aliquots were kept in a liquid nitrogen tank. All TGMCs used in this study were within 5 passages.

At the indicated times, mice were euthanized by CO2 inhalation followed by exsanguination by perforation of the abdominal aorta. Lungs were perfused by injecting 3 ml of PBS in the left ventricle of the heart. Cells in the lung airways were harvested after intratracheal introduction and recovery of 1 mL PBS three times. Single cells were prepared from draining lymph nodes (LNs) and spleen as described previously (9 ). Preparation of lung single-cell suspensions after enzymatic digestion was described elsewhere (14 ). Briefly, lungs were removed, minced, and incubated in digest media containing 250 U/ml collagenase type 1 (Worthington, Lakewood, NJ), 5 U/ml hyaluronidase (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), and 50 U/ml DNase I (Worthington) for 1 h at 37°C, and 2 mM EDTA was added for the last 15 min. The single-cell suspension was filtered through 40-μm pore cell strainers after removing erythrocytes by NH4Cl hypotonic lysis buffer.
For the analysis of dendritic cell (DC) population, draining LNs were harvested, cut into small fragments, and digested with 2 mg/ml collagenase D (Roche, Mannheim, Germany) and 50 U/ml DNase I (Worthington) in HBSS with calcium and magnesium for 30min at 37°C, followed by the addition of 10 mM EDTA for a further 5 min.

Subcutaneous, orthotopic or MMTV-PyMT tumours were excised, cut in small pieces, treated with 10 U ml−1 collagenase I, 400 U ml−1 collagenase IV and 30 U ml−1 DNaseI (Worthington) for 30 min at 37 °C, squashed and filtered. Red blood cells were removed using erythrocyte lysis buffer and density gradients (Axis-Shield) were used to remove debris and dead cells.
Tumour-draining LNs were cut, dissociated with 10 U ml−1 collagenase I, 400 U ml−1 collagenase IV and 30 U mL−1 DNaseI (Worthington) for 45 min at 37 °C and filtered.
Spleens were flushed with 200 U ml−1 collagenase III (Worthington) and left for 30 min at 37 °C. Afterwards, spleens were filtered and red blood cells were removed using erythrocyte lysis buffer.
To purify DC subpopulations from tumour, spleen or LNs, CD11c+ cells were MACS-enriched (anti-CD11c microbeads; Miltenyi) and sorted using BD FACSAria II (BD Biosciences) according to the gating strategy in Fig. 1a, Supplementary Fig. 6A or Supplementary Fig. 8A, respectively.
Bone marrow leukocytes were isolated through flushing of tibia and femur. The obtained cell suspensions were filtered, and red blood cells were removed using erythrocyte lysis buffer. To purify bone marrow monocytes, CD11b+ cells were MACS-enriched (anti-CD11b microbeads; Miltenyi) before sorting.

Nuclei preparation and DNase I digestion were carried out as previously described with modifications [12] (link). Up to 2×105 cells were lysed on ice in 2 ml ice-cold lysis buffer (10 mM Tris pH 7.4, 15 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 10 mM EDTA, 60 mM KCl, 0.2% NP-40, 0.5 mM DTT, 0.5 µM Spermidine, 300 mM sucrose) supplemented with 1× protease inhibitors (Roche). After 5 min on ice, 8 ml of lysis buffer containing 0.1 mM EDTA, no sucrose and protease inhibitors, was added to the tube, and the nuclei were centrifuged at 500 g for 10 min at 4°C with deceleration off. The nuclei were washed once in lysis buffer containing 0.1 mM EDTA, no sucrose and protease inhibitors, once in 1× DNase I buffer (15 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 60 mM KCl, 0.1 mM EGTA, 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4). The nuclei were then resuspended in 40 µl 1× DNase I buffer supplemented with 300 mM sucrose and transferred to a thin wall 200 PCR tube. Various amounts of DNase I (Worthington) diluted in 10 µl 1× DNase I buffer were added to the nuclei, and mixed 3 times with a large-orifice tip. The mixture was incubated on ice for 1 hr. At the end of the incubation, 50 µl of 1% low melt agarose (dissolved in 100 mM EDTA) was added and mixed with a large-orifice tip.

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.
