On day 23 after tumor implantation, tumor tissues were resected, chopped into small pieces, and digested in a 37 °C and 5% CO2 incubator for 20 min with fresh RPMI-1640 (Biowest, L0498) containing collagenase type IV (Worthington Biochemical, LS004189, 1 mg/mL), hyaluronidase (Sigma, H6254, 1 mg/mL), and DNase I (Sigma, DN25, 1.5 mg/mL). Digested tissues were minced, filtered through a 70-μm cell strainer, and used to prepare single-cell suspensions according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Isolation of Cardiac Fibroblasts from Murine Hearts

Primary murine cardiac fibroblasts for culture experiments were isolated from adult wild-type C57BL/6 mice (8-12 weeks old). Fibroblasts were also isolated from the non-infarct and infarct zones of post-ischemic hearts of wild-type C57BL/6 mice (8-12 weeks old) following 30 minutes of ischemia and 14 days of reperfusion as previously described [13 (link),14 (link)] to allow for mature scar/infarct formation. Following isolation, cardiac left ventricular tissue was minced in digestion buffer containing Collagenase IV (Worthington, LS004189) and Dispase II (Sigma, D4693) as described by Pinto et al [15 (link)]. The cell suspension was then incubated at 37°C for 60-90 minutes at 150 RPM on an orbital shaker with gentle disruption using a 10mL serological pipette every 15 minutes, followed by pre-plating for two hours in culture media (DMEM containing 10% FBS) to enrich for the fibroblast population. After two hours, the non-adherent cells were removed and the fibroblasts were given fresh culture media.

Isolation of Renal Leukocytes from Mice

Mice were euthanized under isoflurane anesthesia. Whole kidneys were harvested and stored in cold PBS for less than 30 min until further processing. The tissues were then dissociated into small pieces using razor blades and incubated with digestion solution (collagenase IV (1 mg/ml; Worthington, LS004189) and DNase I (50 µg/ml; Sigma, DN25)) in RPMI 1640 media (Welgene, L0948-500) supplemented with 10% FBS (Biowest, S1480) for 30 min at 37 °C. Single cells were obtained by filtering the solution through 40 μm strainers. Renal leukocytes were further enriched by density-gradient separation. Total kidney cells were resuspended in a 40% Percoll solution (GE Healthcare, 17-0891-01) and layered on top of an 80% Percoll solution. After centrifugation at 2000 rpm for 30 min, cells were collected from the layer between the 40 and 80% Percoll solutions. Red blood cells were removed using RBC lysis buffer (Biolegend, 420302), and the cells were washed with FACS buffer (2% FBS in PBS) for use in further 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.
