Confluent Calu-3 cells in 96-well plates (~6 × 104 cells/well) were infected with SARS-CoV-2 (2000 pfu per well). At 1 or 24 hpi, we added active or inactive IAV DIPs (DI244 or OP7) at indicated fractions (% v/v) with respect to the cell culture volume of 100 µL. Whenever indicated, we additionally added 0.8 µM ruxolitinib (Cayman Chemical (Ann Arbor, MI, USA), #Cay11609-1) to these wells. Alternatively, remdesivir (MedChem Express (Monmouth Junction, NJ, USAnited States), #HY-104077) or human IFN-β-1A (PBL assay science (Piscataway, NJ, USA), #11415-1) (instead of IAV DIPs) were added at indicated concentrations at 1 hpi. Supernatants were collected at indicated time points for quantification of SARS-CoV-2 titers (plaque assay) and for protein quantification of secreted IFNs using commercially available ELISA kits (see below). In addition, infected cells were lysed using solution RL for subsequent total RNA extraction using the innuPREP RNA Mini Kit 2.0 (Analytik Jena (Jena, Germany), #845-KS-2040050), according to the manufacturer’s instructions, for gene expression analysis via real-time RT-qPCR.

BM-MSCs were cultured until to 80–90% confluence and serum-starved overnight using DMEM/LG supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine and 100 U/mL P/S. Then, the BM-MSCs were treated with MDA CM, MCF7 CM, or CON CM for the indicated times. For JAK and ROS inhibition, the cells were pretreated with ruxolitinib (Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI, USA) and N-acetylcysteine (NAC; Sigma-Aldrich), respectively, for 30 min prior to the CM treatment. BM-MSCs were rinsed twice with ice-cold PBS and lysed using 2× SDS buffer (100 mM Tris-HCl, pH 6.8, 20% (v/v) glycerol, 2% (v/v) sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), 0.001% (w/v) bromophenol blue, and 10% (v/v) β-mercaptoethanol) at 25 °C for 5 min. The cell lysates were collected by scrapping and denatured by heating at 95 °C for 5 min. Western blot analysis was performed with the following primary antibodies: anti-HIF-1α (1:800-1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), anti-phospho-Stat3 (pStat3; 1:500–1:800; Cell Signaling Technology), anti-Stat3 (1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology), and α-tubulin (1:30000–1:50000, Sigma-Aldrich). Densitometry of the bands obtained was performed using the ImageJ software (NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA).

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.
