The 50 K macrophage precursors were plated per well in a glass‐bottom 96‐glass bottom well plate (IBL Baustoff, 220.230.042). Cells were cultured with microglia differentiation medium (Advanced DMEM/F12 [Thermo Fisher, 12634010], 1× N2 [Thermo Fisher, 17502001], 1× Pen/Strep [Invitrogen, 15140122], 1× GlutaMax [Thermo Fisher, 35050061], 50 μM 2‐mercaptoethanol [Thermo Fisher, 31350‐010], 100 ng/ml IL‐34 [Peprotech, 200‐34], 10 ng/ml GM‐CSF [Peprotech, 300‐03]). Cells were kept in culture for 10 days, with a medium change every 3–4 days, and then fixed with 4% formaldehyde (Millipore, 1.00496.5000) for immunostaining or used for a phagocytosis or MTT assay.

iHPCs and iPS-microglia were differentiated according to the protocol published by McQuade et al. (McQuade et al., 2018 (link)). To begin iHPC differentiation, iPSCs were passaged in mTeSR-E8 to achieve a density of 80 colonies of 100 cells each per 35mm well. On day 0, cells were transferred to Medium A from the STEMdiff™ Hematopoietic Kit (Stem Cell Technologies). On day 3, flattened endothelial cell colonies were exposed to Medium B and cells remained in medium B for 7 additional days while iHPCs began to lift off the colonies. On day 10, non-adherent CD43+ iHPCs were collected by removing medium and cells with a serological pipette. At this point, d10-d11 iHPCs can be frozen in Bambanker (Wako). Cells used for early-postnatal iHPC transplantation were thawed in iPS-Microglia medium (DMEM/F12, 2X insulin-transferrin-selenite, 2X B27, 0.5X N2, 1X glutamax, 1X non-essential amino acids, 400 μM monothioglycerol, and 5 μg/mL human insulin freshly supplemented with 100ng/mL IL-34, 50ng/mL TGFβ1, and 25 ng/mL M-CSF (Peprotech)) and allowed to recover for 24 hours, then resuspended at 62,500 cells/uL in 1X DPBS (low Ca2+, low Mg2+). Cells utilized for in vitro experiments continued microglial differentiation for 28 days. During the last 3 days in culture, 100ng/mL CD200 (Novoprotein) and 100 ng/mL CX3CL1 (Peprotech) were added to mature microglia in a brain-like environment.

iPSC-microglia were generated as described in McQuade et al., 2018 (link) and McQuade and Blurton-Jones, 2021 (link). Briefly, iPSCs were directed down a hematopoietic lineage using the STEMdiff Hematopoietic kit (STEMCELL Technologies).

Media was added to cultures every other day and supplemented with 100  ng/mL IL-34, 50  ng/mL TGF-β1, and 25 ng/mL M-CSF (PeproTech) for 28 days. In the final 3 days of differentiation, 100  ng/mL CD200 (Novoprotein) and 100  ng/mL CX3CL1 (PeproTech) were added to culture.

iPSCs were differentiated into microglia following an established protocol75 (link) with minor changes. In brief, embryoid bodies (EBs) were formed using AggreWell™800 (STEMCELL Technologies), and cultured in mTeSR1 (STEMCELL Technologies) with bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4, 50 ng/mL; ImmunoTools), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF, 50 ng/mL; ImmunoTools), and stem cell factor (SCF, 20 ng/mL; ImmunoTools) for four days with 75% medium change daily. On day 4, EBs were collected and transferred into 6-well cell culture plates (12–16 EBs/well) in X-VIVO 15 (Lonza) supplemented with IL-3, (25 ng/mL; ImmunoTools), macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF, 100 ng/mL; ImmunoTools), 2 mM GlutaMAX (Thermo Fisher), 1% P/S (Merck Millipore), and 0.055 mM β-mercaptoethanol (Sigma-Aldrich), with medium change weekly.

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from whole blood of HIV seronegative donors, and monocytes prepared as described above. MMG were generated from isolated monocytes using methods modified from those previously described [34 (link), 37 (link)]. To induce the differentiation of MMG, monocytes were cultured in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 1X GlutaMAX (Life Technologies), 1% penicillin/streptomycin and a mixture of the following human recombinant cytokines: M-CSF (10 ng/mL; Peprotech), GM-CSF (10 ng/mL; Peprotech), NGF-β (10 ng/mL; Peprotech), CCL2 (100 ng/mL; Peprotech), and IL-34 (100 ng/mL; Peprotech) under standard humidified culture conditions (37 °C, 5% CO2). The monocytes were incubated with 1% serum for the first 3 days, and thereafter, every third day, cells were supplemented with fresh serum-free media containing M-CSF, GM-CSF, NGF-β, IL-34 and CCL2. Cells were cultured for 14 days. Characterization experiments were performed on day 14.

Details of microglial differentiation from hiPSCs are summarized in Sonn et al., 2022 (link). Briefly, GeneJuice (Sigma–Aldrich, 70,967) and Opti-MEM medium (Gibco™, 31,985,070) were used to establish a doxycycline-inducible PU.1-overexpression clone of hiPSCs. Then, the generation of microglial cells from iPSCs was divided into two stages. First, hematopoietic progenitor cells were generated from hiPSCs (hiHPCs; ∼day 18) in modified StemPro™-34 SFM (1×) (Gibco™, 10,639,011) medium supplied with multiple cytokines and chemicals (BMP4 (PEPROTECH), CHIR99021 (Focus Biomolecules), VEGF (Thermo Fisher Scientific), FGF2 (PEPROTECH), SCF (PEPROTECH), IL-3 (PEPROTECH), IL-6 (PEPROTECH), and IWR-1e (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Doxycycline (1 μg/mL) was added to the medium during days 6 ∼ 18.
Second, microglia-like cells were differentiated from hiHPCs (day 19∼) in modified DMEM/F12 (1:1, Gibco™) supplied with a cocktail of five cytokines (100 ng/mL IL-34, 50 ng/mL TGFβ1, 25 ng/mL M-CSF, 100 ng/mL CD200, and 100 ng/mL CX3CL1, all from PEPROTECH). Induced microglia were used for analysis on day 21.

A detailed step-by-step protocol for generation of iMGL from iPSCs can be found in the supplementary materials (Supplementary File S1). In brief, human iPSCs were seeded as small clumps and differentiated into HPCs using the STEMDiff hematopoietic kit (STEMCELL Technologies Vancouver, BC, Canada) with the extension of an additional harvesting step on day 14 of culture using RPMI1640 + 10% FCS (Gibco, Waltham, MA, USA) + 10 ng/mL GM-CSF (Peprotech, Cranbury, NJ, USA) + Penicillin/Streptomycin which are not provided with the kit. HPCs harvested on day 12 and 14 were pooled and either cryopreserved or directly used for further maturation into iMGL. For maturation, HPCs were seeded in maturation medium (RPMI1640 + 10% FCS (Gibco, Waltham, MA, USA) + Penicillin/Streptomycin + 100 ng/mL IL-34 (Peprotech, Cranbury, NJ, USA) + 10 ng/mL GM-CSF (Peprotech, Cranbury, NJ, USA)) at a density of 90.000–100.000 cells/cm2 onto glass slides or the different coating modalities depicted in the respective experiments. Maturation medium was added every 2–3 days for 2 weeks with a half medium change after 1 week. After 2 weeks, iMGL were used for subsequent experiments.

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.
