Accutase

Accutase is an enzymatic cell dissociation reagent used to detach adherent cells from culture surfaces.
It is a mixture of proteolytic and collagenolytic enzymes that gently dissociates cells while maintaining their viability and surface antigen expression.
Accutase is commonly used in stem cell research, cell culture, and regenerative medicine applications.
Its gentle dissociation properties make it a suitable alternative to trypsin for sensitive cell types.

hESC cultures were disaggregated using accutase for 20 minutes, washed using hESC media and pre-plated on gelatin for 1 hour at 37°C in the presence of ROCK inhibitor to remove MEFs. The nonadherent hESC were washed and plated on matrigel at a density of 10,000–25,000 cells/cm2 on matrigel (BD) coated dishes in MEF conditioned hESC media (CM) spiked with 10 ng/mL of FGF-2 and ROCK-inhibitor. Ideal cell density was found to be 18,000 cells/cm2. The ROCK inhibitor was withdrawn, and hESC were allowed to expand in CM for 3 days or until they were nearly confluent. The initial differentiation media conditions included knock out serum replacement (KSR) media with 10 nM TGF-b inhibitor (SB431542, Tocris) and 500 ng/mL of Noggin (R&D). Upon day 5 of differentiation, the TGF-b inhibitor was withdrawn and increasing amounts of N2 media (25%, 50%, 75%) was added to the KSR media every two days while maintaining 500 ng/mL of Noggin. For MS5 induction, established methods previously reported were used22 (link).

Images were acquired by collaborators from the Allen Institute for Cell Science, Seattle, as per Roberts and colleagues [34 (link)]. Briefly, wild-type C (WTC) hiPSCs were cultured in a feeder-free system on tissue culture dishes or plates coated with GFR Matrigel (Corning) diluted 1:30 in cold DMEM/F12 (Gibco). Undifferentiated cells were maintained with phenol red containing mTeSR1 media (85850, STEMCELL Technologies) supplemented with 1% (v/v) penicillin-streptomycin (P/S; Gibco). Cells were not allowed to reach confluency greater than 85% and are passaged every 3–4 days by dissociation into single-cell suspension using StemPro Accutase (Gibco). When in single-cell suspension, cells were counted using a Vi-CELL Series Cell Viability Analyzer (Beckman Coulter). After passaging, cells were replated in mTeSR1 supplemented with 1% P/S and 10 μM ROCK inhibitor (Stemolecule Y-27632, Stemgent) for 24 hours. Media is replenished with fresh mTeSR1 media supplemented with 1% P/S daily. Cells were maintained at 37°C and 5% CO2. Cells were maintained with phenol red–free mTeSR1 media (05876, STEMCELL Technologies) 1 day prior to live cell imaging.
Three to four days after cells are plated and mature and healthy colonies are observed on 96- and 24-well imaging plates, the cells are stained with NucBlue Live ready probe reagent (R37605, ThermoFisher) and CellMask Deep Red plasma membrane stain (C10046, ThermoFisher) to visualize DNA and plasma membrane, respectively. The protocol is available online: http://www.allencell.org/uploads/8/1/9/9/81996008/sop_for_cellmask-and-nucblue_v1.0_1.pdf. Phenol red–free mTeSR1 is preequilibrated to 37°C and 5% CO2. 1X NucBlue solution made in preequilibrated phenol red–free mTeSR1 is spun for 60 minutes at 20,000 g. The 2X and 10X working stocks of CellMask Deep Red lot #1730970 and #1813792, respectively, are made in 1X NucBlue solution. All solutions are kept at 37°C and 5% CO2 until used. The 100 μL and 400 μL of NucBlue solution are added per well of 96-well imaging plates and 24-well imaging plates, respectively, and incubated at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 20 minutes. An equal amount of CellMask Deep Red working stock is added to the wells containing NucBlue solution. Final dye concentrations in the wells are 1X NucBlue and 1X and 5X CellMask Deep Red lots #1730970 and #1813792, respectively. Cells are incubated at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 10 minutes and gently washed with preequilibrated phenol red–free mTeSR1. Fields of view as shown in Fig 4 that are acquired near the edge (and the center as a control) of hiPSC colonies receive an additional photoprotective cocktail treatment which serves to minimize singlet oxygen and free radical formation. The photoprotective cocktail is used at a working concentration of 0.3 U/ml (1:100) OxyFluor as defined by the OxyFluor product insert, with the addition of 10 mM sodium lactate and 1 mM ascorbic acid (OxyFluor OF-0005, Oxyrase).
As per Roberts and colleagues [34 (link)], cells were imaged on a Carl Zeiss spinning disk microscope with a Carl Zeiss 20×/0.8 NA plan APOCHROMAT or 100×/1.25 W C-APOCHROMAT Korr UV Vis IR objective, a CSU-X1 Yokogawa spinning disk head, and Hamamatsu Orca Flash 4.0 camera. Microscopes were outfitted with a humidified environmental chamber to maintain cells at 37°C with 5% CO2 during imaging. Cells are imaged immediately following the wash step and for up to 2.5 hours after dye addition on a Zeiss spinning disk microscope at 100× with the following general settings: 405 nm at 0.28 mW, 200 ms exposure; 638 nm at 2.4 mW, 200 ms exposure; acquiring each channel at each z-step.

ES cells and neural differentiation are detailed elsewhere [38 (link)]. The LC1 and other ES cell–derived NS cells were routinely generated by re-plating d 7 adherent neural differentiation cultures (typically 2–3 × 106 cells into a T75 flask) on uncoated plastic in NS-A medium (Euroclone, Milan, Italy) supplemented with modified N2 [36 (link)] and 10 ng/ml of both EGF and FGF-2 (NS expansion medium). Over 3–5 d, cells formed aggregates that, after harvesting and sedimentation to remove debris, subsequently attached to fresh plastic and outgrew NS cells. After addition of 0.5 μg/ml of puromycin to differentiating adherent cultures at d 7, 46C-NS cells were generated. Cells were re-plated 3 d later into an uncoated T75 flask in N2B27 media with 10 ng/ml of both EGF and FGF-2 (Peprotech, Rocky Hill, New Jersey, United States) in the absence of puromycin. To derive clonal lines, including NS-5, single cells were plated into 96-well microwell plates (Nalge Nunc International, Rochester, New York, United States) by limiting dilution. and the presence of one cell per well was scored 1 h after plating.
For derivation directly from foetal CNS, primary cultures were generated using standard protocols from cortex or striatum of E16.5 mouse embryos and subsequently allowed to attach on flasks treated with 0.1% gelatin. Outgrowing cells were then expanded on gelatin using NS expansion medium. Clonal derivatives of the cortical line Cor-1 were established by plating at very low density (1,000 cells per 9-cm plate) and expanding individual colonies.
For derivation from established neurospheres, derived from E14 foetal brain and maintained for 40 passages in EGF plus FGF-2, cultures were dissociated to single cells using Accutase (Sigma, St. Louis, Missouri, United States) and plated at 104 cells/ml on gelatin-coated culture flasks in NS expansion medium.
For passaging established NS cell lines, we routinely used trypsin/EDTA or PBS and split cells 1:3 to 1:5 every 2–3 d. For astrocyte differentiations, NS cells were re-plated onto 4-well plates at 1 × 105 cells/well in NS-A medium supplemented with 1% fetal calf serum or 10 ng/ml BMP4 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States). For neuronal differentiation, 5 × 104 NS cells were plated into poly-ornithine/laminin treated wells in NS-A supplemented with FGF-2 alone. After 7 d, the media was switched to NS-A supplemented with B27 (GIBCO, San Diego, California, United States) without growth factor. Half of the medium was exchanged every 2–3 d during the differentiation. For clonal differentiation, 1,000 cells from NS-5 or Cor-1, cultures were plated in 10-cm plates pre-treated with laminin, expanded for 12 d in EGF/FGF-2, and differentiated in situ as above. For electrophysiological studies, 1.5 × 105 NS cells were plated into poly-L-ornithine-treated 35-mm dishes in NS-A medium supplemented with N2 and B27 (both at 0.5%) and FGF-2 (5 ng/ml). After 7 d, the medium was switched to the mix NS-A:Neurobasal (1:1), supplemented with B27 (GIBCO) without growth factors. To sustain neuronal maturation, after a further 7 d, the medium was switched to the mix NS-A:Neurobasal (1:3) supplemented with B27 (GIBCO) and brain derived neurotrophic factor (20 ng/ml) and nerve growth factor (R&D Systems; 50 ng/ml). Throughout neuronal differentiation, half of the medium was replaced every 2–3 d. Further details of NS cell derivation, propagation, and differentiation are provided in Protocol S1.

hESCs or iPSCs were isolated from MEFs following dissociation to single cells with Accutase (Innovative Cell Technologies) by a 1 hr pre-plate on gelatin-coated dishes in hESC medium supplemented with 10 ng/ml FGF2 and 10 μM ROCK inhibitor (Calbiochem). The non-adherent pluripotent stem cells were harvested and plated on Matrigel (BD) coated 12-well plates in MEF-conditioned hESC medium with 10 ng/ml FGF2. Once the cell culture reached 95% confluence, neural induction was initiated by changing the culture medium to a culture medium that supports neural induction, neurogenesis and neuronal differentiation (referred to as 3N medium), a 1:1 mixture of N2- and B27-containing media. N2 medium: DMEM/F12, N2 (GIBCO), 5 μg/ml Insulin, 1mM L-Glutamine, 100 μm non-essential amino acids, 100 μM 2-mercaptoethanol, 50 U/ml Penicillin and 50 mg/ml Streptomycin; B27 medium: Neurobasal (Invitrogen), B27 with or without vitamin A (GIBCO), 200 mM Glutamine, 50 U/ml Penicillin and 50 mg/ml Streptomycin. 3N medium was supplemented with either 1 μm Dorsomorphin (Tocris) or 500 ng/ml mouse Noggin-CF chimera (R&D Systems), and 10 μm SB431542 (Tocris) to inhibit TGFβ signaling during neural induction 19 (link). Cells were maintained in this medium for 8-11 days, during which time the efficiency of neural induction was monitored by the appearance of cells with characteristic neuroepithelial cell morphology. Neuroepithelial cells were harvested by dissociation with Dispase and replated in 3N medium including 20 ng/ml FGF2 on poly-ornithine and laminin-coated plastic plates. After a further 2 days, FGF2 was withdrawn to promote differentiation. Cultures were passaged once more with Accutase, replated at 50,000 cells/cm2 on poly-ornithine and laminin-coated plastic plates in 3N medium and maintained for up to 100 days with a medium change every other day.
For quantitative RT-PCR, total RNA was isolated from three cultures at each timepoint (days 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25) (Trizol, Sigma). Total RNA was reverse-transcribed and used for quantitative RT-PCR with primers specific to Foxg1 and Tbr2 using the Applied Biosystems 7000 system. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR with primers for Emx1, Dlx1, Nkx2.1, HoxB4 and Isl1 was carried out according to standard techniques on first strand, random-primed cDNA generated from total RNA extracted from cultures grown in the presence or absence of purmorphamine.
