TGF-beta1 target genes in human dendritic cells (DC).

ABSTRACT: CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells were isolated from human cord blood and amplified in vitro for 10-14 days in serum-free medium with specific cytokines (Ju et al., Eur. J. Cell Biol. 82, 75-86, 2003; Hacker et al., Nat. Immunol. 4, 380-386, 2003). Cultured progenitor cells were induced to differentiate into DC in RPMI medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 2 mM L-glutamine, 0.1 microM Beta-mercaptoethanol, 100 U/ml penicillin and streptomycin (GIBCO-BRL) and 500 U/ml GM-CSF, 500 U/ml IL-4 for 6 days with or without 10 ng/ml TGF-beta1 as indicated (0.5x10E6 cells/ml). Every 2 days growth factors were added and cells were maintained at 0.5x10E6 cells/ml cell density. RNA was prepared and subjected to microarray analysis. Keywords: Response to cytokine treatment for various periods of time.

Project description:The annotation of the Affymetrix HTA 2.0 array was updated to optimise the detection of RNA in human skeletal muscle samples by removing invalid and low signal-high-variance probes Human primary skeletal muscle cells were isolated from muscle biopsies from healthy adults as previously described (Crossland et al. 2016; Crossland et al. 2017). Myogenic cell enrichment used magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS) and anti-CD56 microbeads (130-050-401; Miltenyi Biotec). Myogenic purity was assessed through measurement of fractional desmin positivity (Crossland et al. 2016; Crossland et al. 2017). Cells were washed in PBS and fixed in ice-cold 1:1 acetone/methanol, before being blocked in 5% (v/v) goat serum for 30 min at room temperature. Cells were subsequently incubated with rabbit anti-desmin monoclonal antibody (ab32362; Abcam) for 1h at room temperature, washed, and incubated with anti-rabbit TRITC-conjugated secondary antibody as previously detailed (Crossland et al. 2016; Crossland et al. 2017). Finally, cells were washed in PBS and mounted/DAPI-stained using FluoroshieldTM mounting medium with DAPI. Myoblasts at passage 5-6 were cultured on Collagen Type I-coated 6-well dishes in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium/Nutrient Mixture F-12 (DMEM/F-12; Life Technologies) containing 20% (v/v) fetal bovine serum (FBS, Sigma-Aldrich), 1% (v/v) antibiotic-antimycotic (AbAm) solution and 4mM L-glutamine (Life Technologies). Cells were maintained at 37oC with 5% CO2. Once cells reached ~95% confluency, differentiation was induced by switching the medium to DMEM/F-12 containing 2% (v/v) horse serum (Sigma-Aldrich), 4mM L-glutamine and 1% (v/v) AbAm solution (Life Technologies). Six days following the initiation of differentiation, a media change was carried out, using differentiation media supplemented with long R3 IGF-1 (10 ng/ml; Sigma-Aldrich), with or without 100 nM rapamycin (Sigma-Aldrich). DMSO (final concentration 0.01% (v/v)) was used as a vehicle control for rapamycin. Samples were collected at 0h baseline and following 4h and 24h treatment.
