Human islets from IIDP, Alberta Diabetes Institutes, or Prodo labs (Supplemental Tables 5 and 6) with reported viability and purity above 80% were cultured overnight at 37°C and 5% CO2 upon arrival for recovery from shipping (9 (link)). Lentivirus carrying scramble (CCTAAGGTTAAGTCGCCCTCG) and shRNA sequence targeting human PLIN2 (CAGAAGCTAGAGCCGCAAATT) obtained from Genetic Perturbation Platform (https://portals.broadinstitute.org/gpp/public) were prepared as previously described (38 (link)). Pseudoislets transduced with lentivirus were created in 96-well spheroid plate (Corning) at 2000 cells/well or Aggrewell 400 (StemCell technologies) at 400 cells/well, as described (58 (link)), and cultured for 1 week in CMRL 1066 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated FBS, 1% penicillin + streptomycin, and 1% L-glutamate (10% HI-FBS CMRL) at 37°C and 5% CO2 before harvesting.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Islets were harvested from NOD.Rag1−/− female mice between 7–13 weeks of age, or 5–23 week old NOD mice, as previously described50 (link). Briefly, 3 ml of ice-cold CIzyme (#005-1030, VitaCyte, Indianapolis, IN) was prepared following manufacturer’s instructions and injected into the common bile duct to inflate the donor pancreata. Pancreata were digested at 37 °C for 17 minutes. Following digestion, islets were washed with HBSS, centrifuged at room temperature at 2000 rpm for 20 min in Lympholyte1.1 (Cedarlane, Burlington, Ontario, CA), washed with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS) (Omega Scientific Inc, Tarzana, CA) in HBSS, and hand-counted. Islets were cultured in CMRL 1066 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) containing 1% Glutamax (Thermo Fisher Scientific), 10% FCS and 1% Pen/Strep (Thermo Fisher Scientific). To determine β cell response to pro-inflammatory cytokines, we supplemented cultures of 100 hand-counted pancreatic islets with murine IFN-γ [50 ng/ml], TNF-α [10 ng/ml], IL-1β [17.5 ng/ml], CXCL10 [20 ng/ml], IL-10 [20 ng/ml], TGF-β [10 ng/ml], IFN-α [10 ng/ml], IL-4 [10 ng/ml], IL-12 [20 ng/ml], and IL-21 [20 ng/ml] in non-tissue culture treated 12-well plates as indicated. All cytokines were purchased from Biotechne (Minneapolis, MN).

In Vitro Blastocyst/Blastoid Culture

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We followed previously reported methods (Ma et al., 2019 ). Blastocysts or blastoids were placed in 4-well plates coated with Matrigel (CORNING, 356234) and then cultured with IVC1 for 48 h, which was subsequently replaced with IVC2 for culture for another 48 h. IVC1 was composed of CMRL 1066 (Thermo Fisher Scientific 11530037) containing 10% (v/v) FBS, 1 mmol/L sodium pyruvate, 1× penicillin-streptomycin, 2 mmol/L L-glutamine, 1× N2 supplement, and 0.25× B27 supplement. IVC2 contained 20% (v/v) FBS, and the remaining components were the same as those in IVC1.

Isolation and Culture of Rat Pancreatic Islets

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Pancreatic islets were harvested from male Sprague Dawley rats (Charles River) via collagenase digestion as previously described (49 (link)). Isolated islets were cultured in CMRL-1066 (ThermoFisher, Waltham, MA) supplemented with 10% v/v FBS, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 units/mL penicillin, and 100 μg streptomycin. For RT-qPCR experiments, 60-80 islets were used per treatment condition in 300 μL CMRL-1066. For immunoblot experiments, ~100 islets were used per treatment condition. All studies were conducted in accordance with the GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Policy on the Care, Welfare, and Treatment of Laboratory Animals and were reviewed by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee either at GSK or by the ethical review process at the Medical College of Wisconsin, where the work was performed.

The following antibodies were purchased from Cell Signaling Technologies (Denver, CO, USA): phospho-EGFR, EGFR, p65, phospho-p65, phospho-eIF2a, eIF2a, caspase-3, and cleaved caspase-3 (Table S1). Antibodies to NumbL and TRAF6 were obtained from SantaCruz Biotechnology (Dallas, TX, USA).

Porcine Islet Transplantation Methodology

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All islet preparations were cultured overnight prior to Tx, with the exception of islets from pig P462-04 that were cultured for one week and mixed with a second islet batch (P474-07) cultured overnight (Table 2). Culture was in CMRL-1066 (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated porcine serum, 100units/mL penicillin, 0.1mg/mL streptomycin, and 2mmol/L L-glutamine (all from Life Technologies) at 24°C in 5% CO2. Prior to Tx, islets were resuspended in fresh 20mL CMRL-1066 medium with the addition of low molecular weight dextran sulfate (4.5mg/kg of recipient, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) (36 (link)). The insulin content of the transplant medium was negligible (<0.5U).
The islets were infused intraportally by gravity over 5-10min. Immediately before islet infusion, anti-inflammatory and anticoagulant treatment was administered (Table 3). Activated clotting time (ACT) was monitored (I-Stat, Abbott, Princeton, NJ) and anticoagulants discontinued if the ACT >190sec (37 (link)). Postoperative treatment consisted of prophylactic cefazolin (10mg/kg i.m. x2 daily) and buprenorphine (0.03mg/kg i.m. x2 daily) for 3 days. Monkeys were allowed to eat on the evening of surgery.

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.
