Figure Lengend Snippet: CD24‐mediated EV transfer is dependent on ROCK. (A and B) WEHI‐231‐GFP cells were pre‐treated with Y27632 or DMSO for 15 min, then stimulated with anti‐CD24 (CD24) or isotype control (isotype, iso) for 15 min, followed by washout and then a 24 h co‐culture with WEHI‐303‐tdTomato cells. (A) Percent GFP and tdTomato double‐positive cells and (B) Percent IgM and tdTomato double‐positive cells after 24 h incubation. n = 6, statistical significance determined by a two‐way ANOVA (interaction significant at p = 0.03 for A and p = 0.0069 for B) followed by the Sidak's multiple comparison test * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.005, **** p < 0.001. (C) Total cell lysates from WEHI‐231‐GFP cells pre‐treated with DMSO or Y27632 for 15 min, then stimulated with the above antibodies for different times indicated. Phosphorylated Cofilin and total Cofilin expression levels were determined by immunoblotting. Shown are representative western blots from three replicates with molecular weight marker positions indicated on the left of each blot. (D) WEHI‐231‐GFP cells were transfected with scrambled control siRNA or ROCK siRNA, and ROCK and GAPDH levels determined by immunoblotting. (E and F) WEHI‐231‐GFP cells with or without ROCK siRNA knock‐down were stimulated with anti‐CD24 or isotype for 15 min, followed by washout and then a 24 h co‐culture with WEHI‐303‐tdTomato cells. (E) Percent GFP and tdTomato double‐positive cells and (F) Percent IgM and tdTomato double‐positive cells after 24 h incubation. n = 3, statistical significance determined by a two‐way ANOVA (interaction significant at p = 0.0011 for E and p = 0.0013 for F) followed by the Sidak's multiple comparison test *** p < 0.005, **** p < 0.001.
Article Snippet: Cells were then stimulated with 10 μg/mL of functional grade primary monoclonal M1/69 rat anti‐mouse CD24 antibody (16‐0242085, eBioscience) or 10 μg/mL matching primary isotype antibody (16‐4031‐85, eBioscience) that was pre‐incubated with 5 μg/mL goat anti‐rat secondary antibody (112‐005‐003, Jackson ImmunoResearch) for 15 min. After treatment, cells were centrifuged and phosphoinositides were extracted and measured using the PIP 3 ELISA kit (Creative Diagnostic, DEIA‐XYZ6).
