Tamoxifen (TMX; Sigma) was prepared as 20 mg/mL stock in corn oil (Sigma) and administered by intraperitoneal (IP) injection at 10 μl/g body weight for 3 consecutive days. After which, mice were chased for 5 d or longer (in legends) before harvest or injury. Similar lineage tracing results were found with 1 M TMX washout.

Tracing Adult Scx-lineage Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Scx-CreERT2 mice were generously provided by Dr. Ronen Schweitzer. ROSA-Ai9 (#007909) mice were obtained from the Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME, USA). ROSA-Ai9 mice express the red fluorescent protein variant tdTomato following Cre-mediated recombination. Scx-CreERT2 mice were crossed to the ROSA-Ai9 strain to trace adult Scx-lineage cells (ScxAi9). Cre+ males and females were used for all studies and underwent tendon surgery at 10–12 weeks of age. For all experiments, ScxAi9 animals received three 100mg/kg i.p. tamoxifen (Tmx; #T5648, Sigma Life Sciences) injections beginning seven days prior to flexor tendon repair surgery to trace and assess the fate of adult ScxAi9 cells, while also ensuring that no subsequent labelling occurred during tendon healing by allowing for a washout period of four days. All mice were maintained under pathogen-free conditions and housed with no more than five animals per cage under standardized light-dark cycle conditions with ad libitum access to food and water. The vivarium was maintained under controlled temperature and humidity.
This study was carried out in strict accordance with the recommendations in the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals of the National Institutes of Health. All animal procedures were approved by the University Committee on Animal Research (UCAR) at the University of Rochester.

The 4T1 mouse breast cancer, LL2 mouse lung cancer, MCF-7 human breast cancer (luminal A phenotype) and MDA-MB-468 human TNBC (basal phenotype) cell lines were purchased from DS Pharma (Tokyo, Japan).18 (link) The CT26 mouse colon cancer cell line was a kind gift from Professor I. J. Fidler (MD Anderson Cancer Center). The cell lines were maintained in DMEM (Sigma Chemical, St. Louis, MO, USA) containing 10% FBS (Sigma) in a 5% CO2 atmosphere at 37°C. The following reagents were purchased: charcoal stripped FBS (Sigma), tamoxifen (TMX; Sigma), angiotensin I and II (A-I and II; Abgent, San Diego, CA, USA), angiotensinogen (ATG; Calbiochem, Darmstadt, Germany), angiotensin 1-7 (A1-7; California Peptide Research, Napa, CA, USA), cisplatin (CDDP; Alexis) and xanthenone (XTN; Alfa Aesar, Ward Hill, MA, USA).

Timed Pregnant Mice for NC Lineage Tracing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Timed pregnant mice were used for labeling NC cell lineages specifically. Noon of the day of vaginal plug detection in mice was designated embryonic (E) day 0.5. To induce Cre recombination in embryos at E8.0, tamoxifen (Tmx) (Cat No. T5648; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) was dissolved in corn oil at a concentration of 11.1 mg/mL, and a single dose of 0.1 mL tamoxifen solution was given through oral gavage using 16 G x 38 mm polyurethane feeding tubes (Cat No. FTPU-16-50, Instech Laboratories, Inc, Plymouth Meeting, PA) to the pregnant dams carrying E7.5 embryos (Tmx@E7.5). Vehicle (Veh) controls were treated with corn oil at the same stage.
tamoxifen injection in pregnant mice has been reported to cause dystocia. To resolve this problem, caesarean sections were performed to deliver the Sox10-iCreERT2/tdT embryos at E18.5. The delivered pups were fostered by a FVB/J nursing dam immediately after caesarean birth.

Chitosan (CS) [low molecular weight (MW = 50–160 kDa), 85% deacetylation degree], hyaluronic acid (HA) (MW = 100 kDa), and tamoxifen (TMX), as well as tripolyphosphate (TPP), 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT), and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, USA. Glacial acetic acid and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC) were obtained from Merck, Germany. Fetal bovine serum (FBS) and Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium (DMEM) were supplied from Gibco, USA. CD44-overexpressing MCF7 breast cancer cell lines were bought from Iranian Biological Resource Center (IBRC), Tehran, Iran, which were confirmed for overexpression of the CD44 antigen. Human fibroblast (HF) (used as normal control cells in the following experiments) were purchased from the National Cell Bank of Iran (NCBI), Tehran, Iran. Double-distilled deionized water (DW) from Zolal, Iran, was used in all experiments.

Eight-week-old wild-type C57BL/6N or Rspo2flox/flox;CAG-CreESR male mice were injected intraperitoneally with naphthalene (275 mg/kg body weight). To conditionally ablate Rspo2 before injury, 75 mg/kg of tamoxifen (TMX; 20 mg/mL in corn oil; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) or corn oil were injected intraperitoneally into Rspo2flox/flox;CAG-CreESR mice every 24 h for five consecutive days starting from day 10 before naphthalene injury. The lungs were harvested at different time points after injury, as indicated.

All experiments were approved by the Committee of Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Cx26f/f mice were crossed with Fgfr3iCreERT2 or Lgr5CreER mice to obtain Cx26f/f; Fgfr3iCreERT2 and Cx26f/f; Lgr5CreER mice. All mice were injected with tamoxifen (TMX, T5648-1G, Sigma-Aldrich) subcutaneously at P0 and P1 (the total dose was 1.5 mg/10 g body weight, once a day for two consecutive days) [13 (link), 36 (link)]. In Cx26f/f; Lgr5CreER mice, Cx26 of the third row of DCs was successfully knocked out [36 (link)]. The Cx26f/f; Fgfr3iCreERT2 line was used to establish a targeted DCs and PCs Cx26-null mouse model [16 (link)].
All mice were raised in the specific-pathogen-free Experimental Animal Center of Huazhong University of Science and Technology. The animals were housed at 22 ± 1 °C under a standard 12 h light/dark cycle and were allowed free access to water and a regular mouse diet.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
