Methods

DC generation

  • Study was approved by the IRB of the Charles University, 2nd Medical School.
  • Immature monocyte-derived DCs were generated as previously described [2 culture flasks .
  • 1 × 107 adherent monocytes were cultured for 5 days in culture media in the presence of GM-SF at the concentration of 500U/ml and 20 ng/ml ofL-4 [5 D/ml and activated using Poly at 25 μg/ml, LPS at 1 μg/ml, or a cocktail of proinflammatory cytokines (L-1 andL-6, ).
  • Immature and mature DCs were used for further studies.

Adoptive transfer of cultured T cells

  • Spleens and lymph nodes (axillary and cervical) were collected from C57BL/6J female mice.
  • The spleens were mechanically disrupted, washed twice, and resuspended in cold PBS.
  • The lymph nodes were also mechanically disrupted and incubated on ice for 5 min followed by collection of the supernatant and centrifugation at 1400 r.p.m.
  • The pellet was then suspended in cold PBS.
  • These samples were filtrated with a 70-μm Cell Strainer and suspended in medium'>medium'>RPMI medium'>1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 100 IU/ml penicillin, 100 μg/ml streptomycin, 1 μM sodium pyruvate, and 2.5 μM β-mercaptoethanol (medium'>medium'>RPMI growth medium).
  • CD4+ T cells were isolated by magnet sorting with anti-CD4 magnet beads according to the manufacturer's instructions .
  • CD4+ T cells were stimulated with anti-CD3É›/anti-CD28 antibodies coated on 24-well plates at a concentration of 5 μg/ml each.
  • Th1-conditioned cells were differentiated by the addition of…

Generation of bone marrow-derived DCs and PrA treatment

  • DCs were derived from the bone marrow precursors of Wistar rats as described previously 6 cells/ml in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10 ng/ml each of rat GM-CSF and IL-4 .
  • To induce DC maturation, cells at day 6 in vitro were treated for 48 h with lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 10 ng/ml, , ).
  • The DC phenotype was confirmed by anti-OX62 labeling and flow cytometry using a FACS Calibur system (detailed below).
  • Only those preparations with a purity >85% DCs were used for subsequent experiments.
  • In other experiments, the DCs at day 6 were treated for 48 h with LPS plus different doses of PrA.

2.5. Primary splenocyte and bone marrow-derived dendritic cell (BMDC) culture

  • Immature BMDCs were isolated using a protocol modified from previous publications 6 cells) were then cultured in 1 ml complete medium for 7 d in the presence of recombinant rat IL-4 (10 ng/ml, , , ) and recombinant rat granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF, 10 ng/ml, , , ).
  • At day 7, immature BMDCs were resuspended in complete medium for maturation.
  • Mature BMDCs (1×106 cells/well) were incubated with LPS (1 µg/ml, from E.
  • coli, , , ) for 12 h and then treated with culture supernatant of F.
  • prausnitzii (1 µl), sodium butyrate solution (0.005834 µmol) and denatured F.
  • prausnitzii or longum bacteria (1×106 CFU/well, BMDCs: bacteria  =  1:1) at 37°C for another 12 h. PBS treated BMDCs were used as a control.
  • Each group treatment was repeated four times.
  • The supernatant was collected and stored at −20°C.

Culture and characterization of DCs

  • DCs were generated from rat bone marrow as previously described[6 cells/mL in medium'>RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum , 2 mM glutamine, 100 μg/mL penicillin , 100 μg/mL streptomycin , 500 U/mL of recombinant rat granulocyte-macrophage colony- stimulating factor , and 500 U/mL of recombinant rat interleukin-4 .
  • On days 2 and 4, half of the culture supernatant was removed and replaced with fresh medium containing recombinant rat granulocyte macrophage colony- stimulating factor and interleukin-4.
  • On day 6, all the loosely adherent cells were harvested, centrifuged and counted.
  • Then C6 glioma cell lysates and DCs (a ratio of 3 tumor cells to 1 DC) were incubated in fresh medium with recombinant rat granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor and interleukin-4 together at 37°C in 5% CO2.
  • To stimulate DC maturation in vitro, on day 8, the cultures were additionally…
