α-minimal essential medium (α-MEM) containing 20% FBS was centrifuged at 200,000 ×g for 18 h to deplete Exo. MSCs from passages 4-6 were cultured using 10% Exo-removed FBS for Exo collection. 2×106 MSCs were cultured in 100 mm dishes in normoxia and hypoxia condition for 72 h and 10 mL supernatant was collected. Exo were then isolated from the harvested supernatant according to a previous study 27 . Briefly, the supernatant was centrifuged at 300 ×g for 10 min, 1200 ×g for 20 min, then 10,000 ×g for 30 min at 4 ℃ and then filtered using a 0.22 µm filter (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) to remove cells and debris. The filtrate was centrifuged at 140,000 ×g for 90 min at 4 ℃ using a Type Ti70 rotor using an L-80XP ultracentrifuge (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, USA). Applying PBS to resuspend the Exo pellet and centrifuged again at 140,000 ×g for 90 min. Afterwards, the pelleted Exo were resuspended in PBS and tested using a BCA Protein Assay kit (Thermo Fishier Scientific, USA). To detect Exo markers and the negative markers, Western blotting was applied with anti-Alix and anti-TSG101 antibodies (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) 28 (link).

Mesenchymal stem cells were derived from mouse bone marrow tibias and femurs and cultured in low-glucose Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Gibco) without exosomes (FBS was centrifuged at 200,000g for 18 h to deplete exosomes) and then incubated at 37 °C in 5% CO2. To label exosomes with tdTomato, cells were stably transduced with packaged lentivirus vectors to express tdTomato fused with the palmitoylation sequence of growth cone-associated protein (PalmtdTomato). The plasmid was kindly provided by Dr Bakhos Tannous (Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA, USA). The harvested supernatants were collected to isolate exosomes according to a previous study [53 ]. The supernatant was centrifuged at 1000g for 30 min followed by 10,000g for 30 min at 4 °C to remove cells and debris and then was centrifuged at 140,000g for 90 min at 4 °C in a Type Ti70 rotor using an L-80XP ultracentrifuge (Beckman). After resuspension in PBS, the exosome pellet was ultracentrifuged again for 90 min at 140,000g. Finally, the exosomes were resuspended in PBS, filtered using a 0.22-μm filter (Millipore), and analyzed with a Micro BCA Protein Assay kit (Pierce).

EVs were isolated from conditioned medium of C2C12 myoblasts, differentiated into myotubes, using HS, previously centrifuged at 100,000× g for 16 h at 4 °C for EV depletion. After 48 h of incubation in fresh medium, EVs were harvested and purified by differential centrifugation—cell debris and organelles were eliminated at 500× g for 20 min followed by another centrifugation at 3500× g for 15 min at 4 °C. EVs were pelleted by ultracentrifugation at 100,000× g for 70 min at 4 °C by L-80-XP ultracentrifuge (Beckman-Coulter, Brea, CA, USA). Finally, the pellet was washed with cold PBS (Phosphate Buffered Saline) in order to minimize sticking and trapping of non-vesicular materials. Purified EVs were used immediately after isolation.

Prior to cell culture, DMEM containing 20% FBS was centrifuged at 120,000 × g for 2 h to deplete serum exosomes. 293T cells, used for exosome production, were cultured in 30 mL of DMEM + 5% exosome-depleted FBS in a 150-mm dish and maintained in 5% CO2 at 37°C for 48 h. Exosomes were isolated from the 30-mL harvested supernatant according to a previous report.49 The filtrate was centrifuged at 110,000 × g for 120 min at 4°C in a type Ti70 rotor, using an L-80XP ultracentrifuge (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, USA, USA). The exosome pellet was resuspended in PBS and ultracentrifuged again at 110,000 × g for 120 min. The pelleted exosomes were resuspended in PBS and analyzed using a Micro BCA (bicinchoninic acid) protein assay kit (Pierce, Rockford, IL, USA) or by western blot analysis of exosomal markers using antibodies specific for ALIX, Flotillin 1, GM130, and HA-tag (Proteintech, Wuhan, China).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
BxPC3 and BxPC3-SMAD4+ cell lines were cultured in RPMI 1640 MEDIA FOR SILAC with 10% dialyzed fetal bovine serum (FBS), with the addition of either with the non-labelled aminoacids Lysin and Arginine (light medium) or with the labelled 13C6-Lysine and 13C615N4-arginine (heavy medium) (Chemical Research 2000 srl, Rome, Italy). In a second experiment, the same cell lines were cultured by swapping media, BxPC3 being maintained in heavy medium and BxPC3-SMAD4+ maintained in light medium, thus creating two biological replicates of the same experiment. After eight days, cell media were changed with fresh media prepared as specified above but without the serum addition, in order to reduce any contaminant in the proteomic analyses, cells being cultured in this condition for 16 hours before media collection and exosomes enrichment made by ultracentrifugation (Beckman Coulter L-80XP Ultracentrifuge, Type 70 Ti rotor) as detailed in supplementary methods. The ratios for light/heavy and heavy/light were calculated for each identified protein of the two experiments. Proteins were considered significantly altered if the average value, calculated for the two ratios, was above 1.5 or below 0.667

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.
