Methods

Increased TfR expression in CaCo-2 cells is not due to enhanced proliferation.

  • Flow cytometry analysis of CaCo-2 cells double stained for CFSE dilution assay and TfR (mouse anti-human TfR stain), after incubation with the following inflammation mediators: TNFα, IL1β, IL-6, a mixture of the three, or CRM from mouse source.

Cells and cultures

  • The human KG1 leukemic cell line, RPMI8226 myeloma (MM) cell line, HepG2 hepatoma cell line, DU145 prostate carcinoma cell line, and A-MB231 breast cancer cell lines were obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) .
  • The MM cell line INA6 was kindly provided by Dr. Renate Burger (University of Kiel, Kiel, Germany).
  • Bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCs) were isolated from fresh bone marrow aspirates of patients with myeloma and primary CD138+ myeloma cells were further sorted using CD138 MicroBeads as described previously

Processing whole blood samples

  • Peripheral (PB.1 and PB.2) and cord (CB.1 and CB.2) blood-derived CD34+ cells were obtained from AllCells .
  • Blood collections were performed at AllCells and using standard, 8 ml Vacutainer Cell Processing Tubes (both sodium citrate and sodium heparin-based tubes are acceptable ; , ).
  • Appropriate documentation for informed consent was completed prior to blood collection .
  • Vacutainers were processed within 24 hours of collection.
  • Briefly, the PBMC-containing upper phase was collected and washed with ice-cold PBS .
  • Cells were either frozen down or used directly for purification with the CD34 MicroBead Kit and used according to the manufacturer's protocol.
  • Some samples were treated with Histopaque ( ; St. Louis, ) to minimize the number of red blood cells and centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 20 minutes without braking.
  • The interface containing the PBMCs was removed if samples were treated with histopaque, cells washed again with chilled…

Exposure of IRAK3-depleted THP-1 cells to additional stress results in more inflammation and ROS.

  • Gene expression was analyzed using qRT-PCR and mROS production was determined by flow cytometry in THP-1 cells exposed to 5.5 mM D-glucose and 9.5 mM D-mannitol (osmotic control) or 15 mM D-glucose (n = 6), and 100 ng/ml IL-6 (n = 6).

Isolation of PBMCs and Monocyte-derived DC Generation

  • The DC generation procedure was followed as previously described by Romani et al.
  • and Kim et al.
  • 6/well) were incubated for 5 days in medium'>AIM medium'>V medium containing 800 U/mL of animal-free (AF) recombinant interleukin 4 (rhIL-4) and 1000 U/mL AF-recombinant granulocyte-monocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhGM-CSF) to induce immature DC (iDC).
  • Fresh medium containing these cytokines was replaced every 3 days.
  • On day 5, to induce mature DCs (mDCs), iDCs were exposed to a cytokine cocktail containing AF-recombinant IL-1β (1000 U/mL) , IL-6 (1000 U/mL) and TNF-α (1000 U/mL) .
  • After 6 h, a 10 µg/mL final concentration of PolyI:C was added to iDCs and cultured for 48 h. At day 7 or 8, the DC culture supernatant was collected and frozen at −80°C.
  • Then, mDCs were harvested and stained with PE or FITC-conjugated antibodies…
