Trypsin edta

Manufactured by Biosharp
Sourced in China

Trypsin-EDTA is a solution used for the dissociation and detachment of adherent cells in cell culture. It contains the enzyme trypsin, which breaks down the proteins that hold cells together, and EDTA, which chelates calcium and magnesium ions necessary for cell-cell adhesion. This solution is commonly used to passagecells and prepare single-cell suspensions for various cell-based applications.

Isolation and culture of NP cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After collecting the NP specimens during surgery, we transferred the tissue to a clean bench using a sterile centrifuge tube and rinsed it three times with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, Cytiva). Next, the NP tissue was digested with type II collagenase (0.2%, Sigma-Aldrich) for 4 h at 37°C. After centrifugation, the supernatant was removed, and the tissue was resuspended and cultured in DMEM/F12 medium (Corning) with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, SANTACRUZ). Adherent NP cells were observed under a microscope after five days of culture without replacing the medium. When the cell density reached 80–90%, we passaged the NP cells using Trypsin-EDTA (Biosharp), and the passaged NP cells were the first passage. Only NP cells within four passages were used for in vitro studies.

Human NP tissue was isolated from the surrounding fibrous tissue and washed with sterile phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, Sigma) before mincing into approximately 0.5 × 0.5 × 0.5 mm3 fragments using sterile ophthalmic scissors. The fragments were digested with a 2 mg/mL solution of type II collagenase (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) at 37℃ for 6 h, followed by centrifugation at 2000 rpm for 5 min. Cell pellets were resuspended and cultured in DMEM medium (HyClone, USA) for 24 h to remove non-adherent and non-viable cells. The isolates were passaged weekly using 0.25% trypsin–EDTA (Biosharp), with cells from the second passage (P2) utilized for the in vitro experiments. The culture medium was replaced with acid-conditioned medium prepared as previously described [5 (link)], or serum-free DMEM for 12 h before treatment with 0–6 μg/mL recombinant human COMP (rhCOMP; R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN).

The protocol for culture of hippocampal neurons was based on a standard procedure with minor modifications 193 (link), 194 . In brief, isolated hippocampus was chopped into small pieces in MEM medium (Gibco Life Technologies, Grand Island, USA) and then digested with 5 mL 0.25% trypsin-EDTA (biosharp, Hefei, PR China) at 37°C for 30 min. The digested tissue was further ground in 70 µm cell strainer to obtain the single cell suspension. After centrifugation at 2000 rpm for 2 min, the cell pellet was washed once with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) buffer. Cells were then resuspended in appropriate volume of plating medium (MEM supplemented with 10% horse serum, 100 U/mL penicillin and 100 µg/mL streptomycin) and seeded in 12 well plate containing poly-L-lysine (PLL, Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) coated coverslips. After incubation at 37°C and 5% CO2 for several h, when the cells having attached to the coverslips, the plating medium was replaced with complete Neurobasal medium (Neurobasal medium (Gibco) supplemented with 2% B27 (Gibco), 0.5 mM L-glutamine and antibiotics), and the cells were further incubated at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 1 or 2 weeks for Ca2+ detection and PLA.

ES-CMs clusters were collected at day 10 of differentiation, and dissociated into single cells using 0.05% Trypsin/EDTA (Biosharp). 5×10 4 to 1×10 5 cells per well were seeded in a gelatin-coated 24-well-plate with or without 100 µM puerarin supplemented with 10 µM EdU (5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine) from the Click-iT® EdU Imaging Kits C10338 (Invitrogen). After 48 h or 72 h cultivation, the staining of ES-CMs with EdU was performed according to the instructions of the manufacturer. ES-CMs were identified by staining with mouse IgG anti-αsarcomeric-actinin antibody (1:200, Sigma) overnight at 4°C. The secondary goat anti-mouse FITC-conjugated IgG (1:200, Proteintec) was used for 1 h at room temperature. Nuclei were stained with Hoechst33342 (5µg/mL, Invitrogen). Images were taken randomly using a fluorescence microscope (Nikon, TE2000-S). The total number of ES-CMs was determined by counting α-actinin/Hoechst33342 double positive cells. The percentage of proliferating ES-CMs was determined by dividing the number of α-actinin/EdU/ Hoechst33342 triple positive cells by the total number of ES-CMs. The counting was carried out independently by three operators. The proliferation assays were performed by 5 to 6 independent experiments, and total 3002 of control cells and 3166 of puerarin treated cells were counted.

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.
