Serum proteins were non-specifically adsorbed onto the surface of magnetic particles (“MP”; DynaBeads M-450, ThermoFisher Scientific) by incubating 100 µl particle solution (4×108 MPs/ml) with 900 µl FBS at room temperature overnight on a rotisserie rotator (Labquake, Barnstead Thermolyne) to facilitate particle incorporation into the cell sheet. Cell culture inserts (3.0 µm pore, 6.5 mm diameter polycarbonate transwells, Corning) were incubated with 450 µl DMEM-LG with 10% FBS in the wells of a 24-well plate for 2 hours. Next, 0.6×106 hMSCs were mixed with 0.6×106 MPs (“hMSC + MP”) and seeded onto the insert in 100 µl chondrogenic media consisting of Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium - high glucose (DMEM-HG; Sigma-Aldrich), 1% ITS+ Premix (Corning), 10−7 M dexamethasone (MP Biomedicals), 1 mM sodium pyruvate (HyClone Laboratories), 100 mM non-essential amino acids (Lonza Group), 37.5 mg/ml ascorbic acid-2-phosphate (Wako Chemicals USA) and 10 ng/ml transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1, PeproTech). Lastly, an additional 450 µl of chondrogenic media was added to the plate well. Control sheets without MPs (“hMSC”) were prepared in the same manner. hMSC ± MP were cultured in 1 ml chondrogenic medium replaced every 2 days for 3 weeks.

agarose molds for cell culture were prepared as previously described [34 (link)]. Briefly, a polycarbonate sheet (Small Parts Inc., Miramar, FL) was machined to contain annular wells with concentric 2 mm diameter posts surrounded by a 3.75 mm wide trough. A polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS; Sylgard 184, Dow Corning, Midland, MI) negative mold of the polycarbonate template was cured and steam autoclaved for sterilization. Two percent w/v agarose (Denville Scientific Inc., Metuchen, NJ) in DMEM-LG was autoclaved and used to fill the PDMS mold. After cooling, the ring-shaped culture wells were removed from the PDMS mold, moved into 6-well plates (BD, Franklin Lakes, NJ) and incubated overnight in basal pellet medium (BPM) comprised of Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium - high glucose (DMEM-HG; Sigma-Aldrich), 1% ITS+ Premix (Corning Inc, Corning, NY), 10−7 M dexamethasone (MP Biomedicals, Solon, OH), 1 mM sodium pyruvate (HyClone Laboratories), 100 µM non-essential amino acids (Lonza Group, Basel, Switzerland), 37.5 µg/ml ascorbic acid-2-phosphate (Wako Chemicals USA Inc.) and 100 u/ml penicillin-streptomycin (Corning Inc.).

Catalog number and passage number are provided in the supplementary material. Hep G2 and Hep 3B cell lines were cultured in Eagle's Minimal Essential Medium (EMEM) +2 mM L-Glutamine (Lonza, Walkersville, MD, USA), HT-29 in Mc Coy's 5A + 1.5 mM L-Glutamine, +2.2 g/L Sodium Bicarbonate and Panc-1 in Dulbecco's Modified Essential Medium (DMEM) + 4.5 g/L D-Glucose, +2 mM L-Glutamine, +110 mg/L Sodium Pyruvate (HyClone Laboratories, Logan, UT, USA). All medias were supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS) (HyClone Laboratories, Logan, UT, USA) and Penicillin/Streptomycin; 100 μg/ml each (Gibco, Grand Island, NY, USA). Cells were cultured in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 at 37 °C. For testing, cells were seeded in black walled, clear bottom 96 well plates (1 × 104 cells per well; cytotoxicity, caspase 3/7 activity, reactive oxygen species & TUNEL assay) or in 24 well plates for radioactive experiments (7.5 × 104 cells per well) one day prior to treatment and testing.

Cells were sorted as CD4+ naïve (live CD3+CD4+CD45RA+), CD4+ memory (live CD3+CD4+CD45RO+) and CD8+ naïve (live CD3+CD8+CD45RA+) subsets and 1000 cells of each population were flow sorted and captured in PCR tubes containing 1× reaction buffer (10X lysis buffer, RNase inhibitor, nuclease-free H2O, Cell Signaling Technology) and analyzed by RNA-seq as previously described (30 (link)). Low-quality libraries (median coefficient of variation (CV) of coverage > 0.9, total reads <2.5 million) were excluded. Counts were then normalized and log2 transformed, followed by batch correction using the limma R package (31 (link)). Gene set enrichment analysis was performed using the Molecular Signatures Database v7.5.1 (MSigDB) Gene Ontology Biological Processes (GO : BP) collection (32 (link), 33 (link)). R software was used to display enriched pathways when indicated.

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.
