Generation of BM-derived Immune Cells from Mx1-Cre Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To generate BM‐derived immune cells from Mx1‐Cre mice in vitro, deletion was first induced by poly I:C injection in vivo (as described above). Controls were treated equally. BM was then isolated from tibia and femur, and red blood cells were lysed. Isolated cells were cultured in 4 ml RPMI‐1640 (Gibco) with 10% FCS (PAA), penicillin, streptomycin, non‐essential amino acids (Sigma‐Aldrich), sodium pyruvate (Sigma‐Aldrich), β‐mercaptoethanol (Gibco), and GM‐CSF (20ng/mL, Peprotech) for 3 days. On day 3, media was changed. On day 6, non‐adherent cells (BMDCs) were harvested and used for experiments (CD11c+ cells > 80%). BMDCs were stimulated with IMQ, CL264, or CL307 (InvivoGen). For inhibition BMDCs were pretreated with SP600125 (InvivoGen; 25 µM) or T‐5224 (20 µM, ApexBio) for 1 h before stimulation. Protein levels of CCL2 (BD Biosciences) and IL‐23 (BioLegend) were analyzed by ELISA in BMDC supernatants. BM‐pDCs were generated as previously described (Drobits et al,2012).

Human mo‐DCs were pretreated for 1 h with JNK inhibitor SP600125 (25 µM, InvivoGen) or the AP‐1 inhibitor T‐5224 (20 µM, ApexBio) before a stimulation with 10 µg/ml of Resiquimod (R848, InvivoGen) or RNA‐40 (10 µg/ml; iba‐lifesciences) in complex with LL‐37 (50 µg/ml; InvivoGen) for 4 or 24 h. For complex formation, RNA‐40 was incubated with LL‐37 for 1 h at room temperature. Human CCL2 and IL‐23 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was analyzed by ELISA.

Transwell Assay for HCC-HUVEC Interactions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A transwell system was used for examining the interaction between HCC cell lines and HUVECs. The lower compartment of each 24-well transwell plate was coated with Matrigel. Each well was seeded with 4×104 HUVECs in Medium 200PRF (Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA). The upper compartment of each transwell plate was seeded with 1×104 HuH7-S2, HuH7-core-high, or HuH7-core-low cells in serum-free DMEM. The upper compartment was then placed onto the lower compartment and the transwell plates were incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 environment for 6 hours. Calcein AM fluorescent dye was added and incubation was continued for another 30 minutes. Next, the cells in the lower compartment were examined under a microscope and quantitatively analyzed using MetaMorph (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, USA). For validating the effects of VEGF, 1 mg/mL bevacizumab (Roche, Switzerland) or control immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) was added to the culture media of both the HCC cells and HUVECs. For validating the effects of AP-1 inhibition, 50 μM of an AP-1 inhibitor, T-5224 (Apexbio, Houston, TX, USA), was added to the culture media of both the HCC cells and HUVECs.

The human leukemia (HEL 92.1.7, K562) and epithelial-like HEK293T (CRL-3216) cell lines were obtained from ATCC (US) and tested negative for mycoplasma. These cell lines were cultured and maintained in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium supplemented with HyClone 5% fetal bovine serum (GE Healthcare, US).
For drug treatment, cells were treated with Camptothecin (MedChemExpress, CN), T5224 (APExBIO, CN) and R406 (Beyotime Biotechnology, CN) for indicated times and used for cell proliferation analysis. Generation of K562-fli1 cells was previously described [21 (link)]. For FLI1 induction, cells were treated with 5μM of doxycycline (Solarbio, CN).

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.
