Human foreskin fibroblast
(HFF) cells
CCD-1070Sk (ATCC, CRL-2091) were cultured in DMEM/F-12 medium (Gibco,
cat no. 21041-025) in the absence of phenol red and supplemented with
10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Gibco). The cells were grown at 37 °C
in 5% CO2. The transient transfection of Paxillin-pEGFP
(Addgene, cat. no. 15233)36 (link) was performed
using a Lipofectamine 3000 Transfection kit (Invitrogen) according
to the manufacturer’s specifications.
Cultured cells
were washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (D-PBS(−),
Nacalai tesque), and all adherent cells were detached from the culture
dish with 0.25% Trypsin-EDTA (Nacalai tesque). The cell solution was
centrifuged at 300×g for 3 min and resuspended in DMEM/F-12 medium
at 106 mL–1. HFFs were plated and incubated
at a density of 1 × 106 mL–1 on
a functionalized glass bottom dish at 37 °C and 5% CO2 for 1.5 h. An oxygen scavenger system (1 mM Trolox, 2.5 mM protocatechuic
acid (PCA), and 30 nM protocatechuate-3,4-dioxygenase (PCD)) was added
to the medium, and the adherent cells were imaged. All measurements
were made within 2 h of plating the cells.

cells were seeded at 1× 105 cells per well in a 12-well plate ~ 16 h prior to transfection. U2OS cell transfections were performed using JetPrime transfection reagent (PolyPlus); 0.3 μg of each plasmid was used for all transfections (0.6 μg total). MEF cells transfections were performed using Lipofectamine 2000 (ThermoFisher); 0.5 μg of each plasmid was used for all transfections (1 μg total). Plasmids used in this study include paxillin-pEGFP (Gift from Rick Horwitz, Addgene #15233, [49 (link)]), F-tractin-mApple and mApple-vinculin (gifts from Clare Waterman, NIH, Bethesda, MD), mCherry-VASP (Gift from Michael Davidson, Addgene #55151) and vinculin-TS (Gift from Martin Schwartz, Addgene #26019, [29 (link)]). Cells were transfected for 24 h before imaging. Before imaging, all cells were plated onto glass bottom 35 mm dishes (MatTek P35G-1.5-14-C) pre-coated for 1 h (4 degrees) with 50 μg/mL collagen (PureCol, Advanced BioMatrix, #5005) or 10 μg/mL fibronectin (Sigma-Aldrich, FL1141).

shRNA against ROCK1 (SHCLNG-NM_005406.1, shROCK1: CCGGGCACCAGTTG TACCCGATTTACTCGAGTAAATCGGGTACAACTGGTGCTTTTTG), hu-CASPASE-8 (SHCLNG-NM_033356.3, shCASP-8: CCGGACATGAACCTGCTGGATATTTCTCGAGAAATATCCAGCAGGTTCATGTTTTTTG), hu-EGFR (SHCLNV NM_005228.3, shEGFR: CCGGGCCTATCAAGTGGATGGCATTCTCGAGAATGCCATCCACTTGAT AGGCTTTTTTG) and a control scrambled shRNA (SHC002 MISSION pLKO.1-puri, shCTRL: CCGGCAACAAGATGAAGAGCACCAACTCGAGTTGGTGCTCTTCATCTT GTTGTTTT) were purchased from Sigma. These shRNA were provided in the pLKO.1puro backbone for lentiviral transduction. Paxillin-pEGFP was a gift from Rick Horwitz, University of Virginia, USA (Addgene plasmid # 15233). Lentiviral pCDH-EF1a-MCS-T2A-copGFP-empty vector and WT FAK. (exo-FAK) and myristoylated FAK (myrFAK) were kindly provided by Andrew Gilmore, University of Manchester, UK. The endosomal marker mRuby-Endo-14 was a gift from Michael Davidson (Addgene plasmid # 55859).

The plasmid expressing NPY–Cherry was a gift from G. Rutter (Imperial College London, London, UK), paxillin–pEGFP was from AddGene (Cambridge, MA, USA), paxillin–Cherry mutated for Y31F and Y118F was produced in our laboratory by Marta Ripamonti. These plasmids (1 μg) were transfected in MIN6B1 cells plated on glass-bottomed dishes coated with ECM from 804G cells for 72 h using Lipofectamine 2000 according to the manufacturer's instructions.

cDNA for pLenti CMV GFP Puro (658-5) was a gift from Eric Campeau and Paul Kaufman (Addgene plasmid #1744876 (link)). Portions of paxillin-pEGFP (a gift from Rick Horwitz, Addgene plasmid # 15233) or mRuby-Paxillin-22 (a gift from Michael Davidson, Addgene plasmid #55877) were subcloned into a modified version of the pRRLSIN.cPPT.PGK-GFP.WPRE (a gift from Didier Trono, Addgene plasmid # 12252) by restriction enzyme cloning. pLenti.PGK.LifeAct-GFP.W was a gift from Rusty Lansford (Addgene plasmid # 51010). To generate lentivirus, plasmids were co-transfected with pCMV-VSVG (a gift from Bob Weinberg, Addgene plasmid #8454), pMDLg/pRRE, and pRSV-REV (gifts from Didier Trono, Addgene plasmid #12251 and #1225377 (link),78 (link)) in 293T cells using the calcium phosphate precipitation method79 . Viral supernatants were collected after 48 h, concentrated with PEG-itTM (System Biosciences, Palo Alto, CA) following the manufacturer’s protocol, filtered through a 0.45 μm filter (ThermoFisher Scientific Nalgene, Waltham, MA), and stored at −80 °C. Viral titer was determined by serial dilution and infection of NIH3T3s in the presence of 10 μg mL−1 polybrene (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX). Titers yielding maximal expression without cell death or detectable impact on cell proliferation or morphology were selected for studies.

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.
