“…Cells were maintained in DMEM/F12 (CAFs), MEM (Caco-2), or RPMI 1640 (other cell lines) medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 1% sodium pyruvate solution, and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Gibco, Grand Island, NY, USA) in a 37°C, 5% CO 2 , fully humidified incubator. Trichomicin (1mM and 10mM, lab stock), PMA (10mM, Calbiochem, Darmstadt, GER), and BP-1-102 (5 mM, Selleck Chemicals, TX, USA) were dissolved in DMSO and were further diluted with medium (for cell assays) (Zhu et al, 2020). Interleukin 6 (10 mg/ml, Peprotech, NJ, USA), TNFa (10 mg/ml, Peprotech, NJ, USA), and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (1 mg/ml, Calbiochem, Darmstadt, GER) were dissolved in PBS, passed through a 0.22-mm filter, then stored at -80°C (Zhu et al, 2020).…”
