Evaluating hASC Exosomes in Dermal Wound Healing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To evaluate the efficacy of hASC exosomes in dermal wound healing, we performed the scratch assay, a widely used wound healing assay, in HDF. HDF cells were grown to confluency in 35 mm dishes with μ-Dish inserts (Ibidi solutions™, 81176) to make consistent and reproducible 500 μm gaps. Cells were treated with hASC exosomes, as described in each experiment, then the inserts were removed and cell migration was imaged on the Keyence BZx-810 microscope at 4× magnification. Images were taken at the same location saved into the Keyence BZx-810 microscope with images taken at 0 and 18 h or 0, 18, and 24 h, as indicated in the individual experimental setup. The open areas between lateral cell boundaries were quantified using Image J software with the plugin Wound_healing_size_tool.

Alizarin Red S Staining of Mouse Incisors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Anteroposterior sections of P8 mouse incisor were deparaffinized using decreasing concentrations of xylene and ethanol, stained in freshly prepared 2% (w/v) Alizarin red S solution (pH 4.1–4.3) for 2–3 min, dehydrated in acetone followed by acetone-xylene solution (1:1), cleared in xylene, and mounted with a synthetic mounting medium (Dahl, 1952 (link)). Sections were observed using a Keyence BZX-810 microscope in bright-field mode.

Barcoded Antibody Staining of Tissue Sections

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Barcoded antibody staining of tissue sections mounted on cover slips was performed using a commercially available CODEX Staining Kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions for FFPE tissue (Akoya Biosciences) and as recorded for HuBMAP Lymphatic System TMC (10.17504/protocols.io.be9pjh5n)32 . Images were acquired at 20X magnification using a Keyence BZ-X810 microscope with a metal halide light source and filter cubes for DAPI (358), TRITC (550), CY5 (647), and CY7 (750). Typical images are 7×9 (3.77 × 3.58 mm) including acquisition of 17 Z-stack images at 1.5 μm pitch. Raw images were collected using the CODEX Processor software (version 1.30.0.12). Drift compensation, deconvolution, z-plane selection, and stitching were performed using the Cytokit software10 (link), using the Docker33 container found at https://hub.docker.com/r/eczech/cytokit (version ‘latest’ uploaded on Feb 5, 2020). The display lookup table (LUT) for all figures presented in this paper is linear and covers the full range of data.

Cell Migration Tracking after PKCδ Modulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were grown to confluency in 35‐mm dishes with μ‐Dish inserts (Ibidi solutions™, 81176) to make consistent and reproducible 500μm gaps. PKCδVIII was overexpressed in T80 cells or expression was knocked down in OCC for 48 h. The inserts were then removed and imaged on the Keyence BZx‐810 microscope at 4x magnification. Images were taken at the same location saved into the Keyence BZx‐810 microscope with images taken at 0, 24, and 48 h. Analysis of done measuring empty area between cells in µm2 using the FastTrack A1 software (Ibidi solutions™).

Corpus Callosum Fluorescence Intensity Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sections were stained by the method described above, then observed and photographed with a Keyence BZ X810 microscope. The captured images were imported into Image J, and the fluorescence intensity per area (300 µm*120 µm; indicated by dotted line) of the corpus callosum region of 3 sections for each individual was measured. Prior to statistical analysis, mean values were calculated for each group (n = 3 mice each) based on the measured values, and relative values were calculated using the mean value of control mice as 100%. Fluorescence intensity statistics results are shown as mean ± SEM.

Microfluidic devices with four separate channels (46 µm tall, 100 µm wide, 4 mm long) were coated with laminin derived from human placenta (Sigma) for 2 h at room temperature58 (link). RBCs were isolated and resuspended in PBS to 0.2% hematocrit. Devices were perfused with RBC suspension via syringe pump (Harvard Apparatus). Images were acquired using a Keyence BZ-X810 microscope with a 20x/0.8 objective.

Nuclei Isolation from Frozen OSA Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Nuclei were isolated from 42 mg flash-frozen OSA tissue by following the nuclei isolation kit protocol from 10× Genomics (Pleasanton, CA, USA, CG000505 Rev A) with minor adjustments to enhance homogenization while retaining nuclear morphology. The Lysis buffer provided with the kit was diluted with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) to 0.5 strength and the sample was briefly homogenized (1-2 s) using a bladed homogenizer on ice, followed by a 5-min incubation on ice. The nuclei isolation protocol from 10× Genomics was then followed according to the manufacturer's directions. Nuclei were visualized and counted using trypan blue (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and ViaStain acridine orange/propidium iodide (AO/PI) (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA) to determine quality and quantity using the Keyence BZ-X810 microscope with 100× oil-immersion objective. Nuclei were counted by hand using a hemocytometer in addition to using the Biorad TC20 automated cell counter (Biorad, Hercules, CA, USA) to determine the concentration for library preparation.

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.
