Immortalized primary BA was seeded in Seahorse 24-well plates (Agilent) 40 000 cells/well in 100 μl of BA growth medium (DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and 0.1% penicillin/streptomycin). The following day, differentiation was induced with high-induction medium (growth medium, 20 nM insulin, 1 nM triiodothyronine, 1 μM Dexamethasone, 100 μM 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, 1 μM Rosiglitazone and 125 nM Indomethacin). After 2 days, the medium was replaced with BA differentiation medium (growth medium, 20 nM insulin and 1 nM triiodothyronine). The following day, the respirometry Mito-Stress assay was performed according to manufacturer instructions, following 15 min of 7α,25-OHC (1 μM) treatment where indicated. The following substances were used: Norepinephrine (1 μM, Sigma-Aldrich), oligomycin (2 μM, Sigma-Aldrich), Carbonyl cyanide-4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenylhydrazone (FCCP, 1 μM, Tocris), Rotenone (0.5 μM, Tocris), Antimycin A (0.5 μM, Tocris), Hoechst staining (10 μg/ml, Sigma-Aldrich). The number of cells labeled with Hoechst staining was calculated with Cytation 5 Cell Imaging Multi-Mode Reader for normalization.

Primary cortical astrocytes were cultured according to standard protocols, modified from (Schildge et al., 2013 ). Briefly, cortices of P4–7 GLAST-CreER;mGCaMP3/+;IP3R2−/−triple transgenic mouse pups were dissociated using a Neural Tissue Dissociation Kit (P) (Miltenyi Biotec). Isolated cells were plated on a T-75 flask coated with poly-l-lysine (Sigma-Aldrich) and fed with DMEM (Life Technologies) supplemented with 10 % heat-inactivated FBS (Life Technologies) and 1 % penicillin-streptomycin (Life Technologies). After 7 days, astrocytes formed a confluent layer at the bottom of the flask. These cells were then plated on 12 mm cover glass (Thermo Fisher Scientific) coated with poly-l-lysine (Sigma-Aldrich) and Natural Mouse Laminin (Thermo Fisher Scientific) at a density of 20,000 cells per cover glass. One day after plating, expression of mGCaMP3 was induced by applying 1 μM (Z)-4-hydroxytamoxifen (H7904, Sigma-Aldrich). At least 14 days later, astrocyte Ca2+ transients were imaged using a Zeiss LSM 710 microscope, as described below. To block mPTP activity, astrocyte cultures were incubated for 1 hour prior to Ca2+ imaging in mPTP inhibitors [Cyclosporin A (inhibits cyclophilin D, Tocris, 20 μM; takes long time to dissolve and needs filtration of remaining precipitates) and Rotenone (Mitochondrial complex I inhibitor, Tocris, 10 μM)].

To determine cell energetics as well as glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation rates, cells were seeded at a density of 50,000 cells per well. Cells were counted and plated in Seahorse Xfe24 plates (Agilent) 24 h before assay and allowed to attach overnight. The assay cartridge was hydrated with Agilent equilibration buffer in a 0% CO2 chamber at 37°C overnight. One hour before assay, culture media was removed and replaced with Seahorse assay media (Seahorse basal RPMI media supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine and 11 mM glucose for Cell Mito Stress Test). Extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) and oxygen consumption rate (OCR) were measured using the Agilent Seahorse Xfe24 machine, according to manufacturer instructions for the Glycolysis Stress Test and Cell Mito Stress Test. FCCP and oligomycin from Cell Energy Phenotype Test kit were used with rotenone (#3616, Tocris Bioscience; Bristol, UK), 2-DG (#B1048–500, Biovision Inc.; Milpitas, CA), and antimycin A (#SC-202467A, Santa Cruz Biotechnology; Dallas, TX). Assays were analyzed using Seahorse Wave Software (Agilent). Cell density and concentration of FCCP (1 μM) were optimized according to manufacturer’s instructions.

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.
