Briefly, THP-1 human monocytes (TIB-202; ATCC) were cultured in RPMI-1640 (189-02025; Wako) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (175012; Nichirei), penicillin (100 U/mL) (168-23191; Wako), and streptomycin (100 mg/mL) (168-23191; Wako). F. nucleatum was cultured as previously described (43 (link)). THP-1 monocytes were pretreated with 100 μM FAC (RES20400-A7; Sigma-Aldrich), 100 μM DFO (D9533; Sigma-Aldrich), or the indicated concentration of calyculin A (038-14453; Wako) for the indicated time, followed by stimulation with 100 ng/mL LPS (tlrl-eblps; InvivoGen) for the indicated time. THP-1 monocytes were differentiated into macrophages using 6 ng/mL phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (AG-CN2-0010; AdipoGen) for 48 hours. Differentiated cells were pretreated with 100 μM FAC, 100 μM DFO, or 5 μM TAK-242 (13871; CAYMAN) for the indicated times, followed by treatment with F. nucleatum at a multiplicity of infection of 10 for 3 hours.
