Compound C (Cayman Chemicals) was suspended in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at a stock concentration of 10 μM and added to J774A.1 macrophages at the indicated concentrations 1 h prior to bacterial inoculation. The Compound C dosage was determined based on data from previous studies (50 (link)). Compound C remained on macrophages throughout infection. The cytotoxicity of Compound C in J774A.1 macrophages was determined using a Vybrant 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) cell proliferation assay kit (Thermo Fisher) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Atglistatin (30 μM) (Cayman Chemicals), triacsin C (10 μM) (Enzo Life Sciences), and T863 (10 μM) (Cayman Chemicals) were suspended in DMSO (12 (link), 30 (link)). For lipid inhibitor studies, we pretreated cells overnight with compounds and continued treatment throughout infection.
