Induction and evaluation of EAE

To induce acute EAE, 10 to 12-week-old mice were injected subcutaneously in both flanks of back regions with 300 μg per mice of MOG35-55 peptide (Met-Glu-Val-GlyTrp-Tyr-Arg-Ser-Pro-Phe-Ser-Arg-Val-Val-HisLeu-Tyr-Arg-Asn-Gly-Lys, Genemed Synthesis) in CFA (Incomplete Freund’s adjuvant was purchased from IFA, Sigma) containing 5 mg/ml of heat-killed Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra (BD Difco). Pertussis toxin (200 ng per mouse; List Biological Laboratories) was also administered to mice in PBS on the day of immunization and 48 hours later. …

EAE induction

NAT10WT and NAT10cKO mice were anesthetized with pentobarbital and then immunized s.c. with MOG35-55 peptide (2568, R&D; 300 μg) mixed in CFA containing 5 mg/ml heat-killed Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra (231141, Difco). 200 ng pertussis toxin (181, list labs) was i.p. injected to immunized mice subsequently and 24 h later. …

EAE induction and ILA supplementation

Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) was induced in 10–12-week-old C57BL/6J mice through subcutaneous injection of 150 µg of MOG35-55 peptide (JHMI Peptide Synthesis Core, USA), emulsified in Complete Freund’s Adjuvant (CFA; Thermo Scientific, USA) containing 8 mg/ml of heat-killed Mycobacterium tuberculosis (BD, NJ). The injection was administered at two sites on the abdomen. To further enhance the immune response, 300 ng of pertussis toxin (List Biological Labs, California, USA) was administered intraperitoneally on the day of immunization, followed by a second dose 48 hours later. …

A single dose of 200 ng DT (List Laboratories, #150) was intraperitoneally introduced one week after the last Tamoxifen injection. The cancer cells were inoculated into

amoxifen and diphtheria toxin treatment

Tamoxifen (MedChemExpress, #HY-13757A) was dissolved in corn oil (20 mg ml−1, Wako, #032-17016) and heated at 37 °C for 3 hours. Mice were administered with tamoxifen through oral gavage (100 mg kg−1 body weight). To activate Cx3cr1CreERT2-mediated recombinase, each mouse was fed with Tamoxifen every three days, starting from Day 12 post-intraportal injection, as indicated in Fig. 2e. For proliferation tracing experiment, DreERT2-mediated recombinase was introduced by a single dose of tamoxifen on Day 12 post-intraportal injection, as indicated in Fig. 3f. For KC specific depletion, DreERT2-mediated recombinase was introduced by 8 doses of tamoxifen gavage, as indicated in Fig. 5c. A single dose of 200 ng DT (List Laboratories, #150) was intraperitoneally introduced one week after the last Tamoxifen injection. The cancer cells were inoculated into liver through portal vein one day after DT injection.
