For ex vivo DC isolation, the thymuses or spleens were pooled and cut with blunt scissors before digestion in Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI) 1640 with 2% fetal bovine serum (FCS) supplemented with Liberase (200 μg/ml, Roche) and DNase I (40 μg/ml, Sigma-Aldrich) for 10–15 min. After incubation with 2.4G2 antibody, DCs were isolated using CD11c MicroBeads (Miltenyi Biotec), according to manufacturer's instruction. Each of the cDC subsets and pDCs was subsequently examined by fluorescence-activated cell sorting using a FACSAria™ II high-speed cell sorter (BD Biosciences) following staining with F4-80-, CD45.1- or CD45.2-, CD11c-, CD11b-, B220-, CD24-, and Sirpα-specific antibodies.
For pre-cDC and pDC isolation, BM was extracted from the femurs and tibias, and erythrocytes removed using Gey's treatment. Lineage cells were first removed using fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) conjugate anti-CD3, anti-CD19, anti-NKP46, and, for pre-cDC isolation only, anti-B220, and anti-FITC magnetic MicroBeads (Miltenyi Biotec). Pre-cDCs and pDCs were subsequently FACS-sorted following staining with anti-MHC II-, CD135-, Sirpα- and CD11c-specific antibodies or CD19-, B220-, and CD11c-specific antibodies, respectively.

The TSCC side population was sorted as previously described 29 (link). Briefly, TSCC cells were incubated at 37 °C for 90 minutes in the dark with 5 μg/ml Hoechst 33342 (Sigma, San Louis, MO, USA) and intermittent mixing either alone or in the presence of 50 μM verapamil (Sigma, San Louis, MO, USA), an inhibitor of ABC transporters. The cells were then centrifuged and resuspended in ice-cold HBSS. The samples were sorted using a FACSAria II high-speed cell sorter (BD Biosciences, San Diego, CA, USA). Propidium iodide (2 μg/ml) was added to exclude dead cells. Hoechst 33342 was excited with the UV laser at 350 nm, and the fluorescence emission was measured with 405 / BP30 (Hoechst blue) and 570 / BP20 (Hoechst red) optical filters. After sorting, the SP and non-SP cells were used for further experiments.

Flushed bone marrow from female Balb/c mice (Charles River, 8–10 weeks) in RPMI-1640 with L-glutamine (Cellgro-Corning, Inc., #10-040-CV) was passed through a 30-μm cell strainer (Miltenyi, #130-041-407) and subjected to red blood cell lysis buffer (BD Biosciences, #555899). White blood cells were counted by hemocytometry and seeded at 0.25 × 106 cells/mL in a total of 4 mL/well of RPMI-1640 with L-glutamine supplemented with 10% FBS (Atlanta Biologicals, #S11550H), 100 IU penicillin/mL, 100 μg streptomycin/mL (Cellgro-Corning, #30-002-CI), at 37°C, 5% CO2, in a 6-well polystyrene low attachment plate (Costar, #3471) with 10 ng/mL of recombinant mouse M-CSF (Gibco, #PMC2044) for 7 days (media replenished after 2, 5, and 7 days). Flow cytometry was used to confirm macrophage phenotype of resultant BMDMs with fluorescence-conjugated antibodies against murine F4/80 (BD Biosciences, #565411) after mouse Fc blocking (BD Bioscience, #553141) using a FACSAria II High-Speed Cell Sorter with FACSDiva software (BD Biosciences) for analysis of total live cells from gating based on forward- versus side-scatter profiles.

Isolating Leukemic and Normal Mouse Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Femoral bone marrow was collected with cold PBS, supplemented with 1% fetal bovine serum (FBS), and subjected to red blood cell lysis buffer (BD Biosciences, #555899). Given that the mice had been injected with human pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells at one day prior to initiation of the chronic restraint stress period, fluorescent activated cell sorting was used to separate ALL cells from normal mouse leukocytes at the conclusion of the experiment. To mark ALL cells, bone marrow cell samples were incubated with PE-conjugated antibodies against human CD10 (BD Biosciences, #555375), washed, and sorted on a FACSAria II High-Speed Cell Sorter with FACSDiva software (BD Biosciences). Sorted human-CD10 mouse leukocytes were stored at −80 ​°C until processing for total RNA extraction. To control for potential effects of leukemia burden on biological aging in normal mouse leukocytes, the amount of ALL tumor load, as measured in Lamkin et al. (2012) (link), was used as a covariate in the present analyses.

Cells grown in 5 ml 2xTY medium were used to inoculate a 50 ml preculture in CGXII minimal medium with 100 mM glucose and cultivated for approx. 16 h at 130 rpm and 30°C.
The cells of this preculture were washed once in 0.9% (wt/vol) NaCl solution and then used to inoculate the main cultures in 500 ml baffled shake flasks containing 50 ml CGXII medium with 100 mM glucose to an OD 600 of 1. The main cultures were incubated at 130 rpm and 30°C until the exponential growth phase was reached (approx. 4-5 h). Culture samples were removed from the flasks and diluted in FACS flow buffer (Agilent) to an OD 600 below 0.1 prior to FACS analysis using an FACS ARIA II high-speed cell sorter (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) as described previously (Kortmann et al., 2015) . Mutant cells from 1:1 mixtures with wild-type cells were sorted on BHI agar plates using the gates P2 and P3 as indicated in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6. The BHI plates were incubated at 30°C for at least 24 h before the colonies were tested for deletion of cyaB and cpdA by colony PCR using the oligonucleotide pairs cyaB_deltest_fw/cyaB_deltest_rv and cpdA_deltest_fw/cpdA_deltest_rv.

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.
