Splenocytes or lung cells were prepared and counted from each mice in different groups as previously described, respectively [15 (link), 16 (link)]. Cells were plated in triplicate at 5 × 106 cells per well in a 24-well plate and incubated with CMFO (10 μg/mL) and anti-CD28/CD49d (1 μg/mL, eBioscience) overnight. RPMI 1640 medium used is a negative control. Cell responses were monitors through a cell stimulation cocktail (1 μg/mL, eBioscience). Cells were stained for anti-CD4-APC-Cy7 (Cat#552051, BD Biosciences), anti-CD8α-BV510 (Cat#563068, BD Biosciences), anti-CD44-FITC (Cat#561859, BD Biosciences), anti-CD62L-PerCP-Cy5.5 (Cat#560513, BD Biosciences), and intracellular markers anti-IFN-γ-PE (Cat#554412, BD Biosciences) and anti-IL-2-APC (Cat#554429, BD Biosciences). Absolute number of IFN-γ+ and IL-2+ T cells, central memory T cells (TCM), and effector memory T cells (TEM) was determined by an LSRII multicolor flow cytometer (BD Biosciences) and analyzed through FlowJo software. The results were shown as the mean ± SEM per group (n = 6).

After 18 hours, cells were surface stained with anti-CD4 and anti-CD8 and processed with an intracellular staining kit (BD Biosciences) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Intracellular antibodies included anti-interferon (IFN)-γ (eBioscience, San Diego, CA), anti-TNF, and anti-IL-2 (both BD Biosciences).

C2C12 myoblasts were plated at 2.5 × 105 cells/well in six-well plates in GM overnight, followed by induction of cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase by switching the medium to DMEM/high glucose with 1% FBS for 24 h. For cell cycle analysis, cells were then treated with GM, FGF9 (10 ng/mL) in GM. At 24 and 36 h. Cells were harvested with trypsin and fixed in 66% ethanol for cell cycle analysis. After fixing, cells were incubated with propidium iodide (PI)/RNase staining buffer (Abcam) for 30 min for cell cycle analysis using LSRII Multi-Color Flow Cytometer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA), PI was excited with the 488 nm blue laser and imaged with the 575 ± 26 nm band–pass filter. Cell cycle population analyses were performed using FlowJo® software (Tree Star). Experiments included three biological replicates.

Intracellular flow cytometry analysis was performed as previously described (22 (link)). Briefly, 5 × 106 splenocytes were plated in each well of a 24-well plate and incubated with either CMFO (10 µg/mL) or PPD (10 µg/mL) in the presence of 1 µg/mL anti-CD28/CD49d (eBioscience CA, USA). RPMI1640 medium and cell stimulation cocktail (eBioscience, CA, USA) were used as negative and monitoring controls, respectively. Cells were stained with surface markers, including anti-CD4 PE Cy7, anti-CD8a PE, anti-CD44 APC-eFluor® 780, anti-CD62L FITC mAbs, and intracellular markers anti-IFN-γPerCP-Cy5.5 and anti-IL-2 APC mAbs (all from eBioscience, CA, USA). The stained cells were analyzed by an LSRII multicolor flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, CA, USA). The absolute number of CMFO-specific CD4+ or CD8+ IFN-γ positive TEM (effector memory T cells, CD62LloCD44hi) and CD4+ or CD8+ IL-2 positive TCM (central memory T cells, CD62LhiCD44hi) cells were analyzed with FlowJo software (Tree Star Inc., OH, USA). The results are represented as mean ± SD per group (n = 6).

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.
