The cell line HTR8/SVneo (ATCC® CRL3271™) is a normal human extravillous trophoblast cell line that was created upon transfection of cells derived from human first-trimester placenta, with the gene that encodes simian virus 40 large T antigen. The HTR8/SVneo cell line was cultured in RPMI 1640 medium that was supplemented with 5% FBS, penicillin-streptomycin, and amphotericin B (Invitrogen, Cergy Pontoise, France). The cells were maintained in a humidified incubator at 37 °C with 5% CO2. In the figures, the HTR8/SVneo cell line is referred to as HTR.

The ZIKV strain H/PF/2013 from French Polynesia, which belongs to the recent epidemic lineage, was used in this study. The virus was grown in C6/36 cells and titrated by plaque assay on Vero cells (titer: 1.5 × 107 PFU/mL). Three human placental cell lines were used for virus growth kinetics. HTR-8/SVneo (ATCC® CRL-3271™) and Swan7121 (link) are immortalized first trimester trophoblast cell lines and VSC is a primary villous stromal cell line. HTR-8/SVneo and Swan71 cells were obtained from the Department of Obstetrics, University of Jena. VSC cells were obtained from the Department of Developmental Pathology, University of Bonn. VSC cells were maintained in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) (Gibco®, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) containing 10% fetal calf serum (FCS) (Biochrom, Berlin, Deutschland) and 2 mM glutamine (Gibco®). Swan71 cells were cultivated in DMEM medium containing 10% FCS. HTR-8/SVneo cells were cultivated in RPMI medium (Gibco®) containing 10% FCS. All cells were incubated at 37 °C with 5% CO2.

Trophoblast and endothelial cells were used to develop an in vitro 3D placental microfluidic culture system that would recapitulate the human placental microenvironment. The chorionic villi-derived first-trimester human placenta HTR8/SVneo trophoblast cell line (CRL-3271, ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA), commonly used as a trophoblast cell model (Graham et al. 1993 (link); Msheik et al. 2020 (link); Wong et al. 2019 (link)). While this cell line has been reported to include a heterogeneous cell population (Abou-Kheir et al. 2017 (link)), it continues to be used as the primary cell model for trophoblast cell invasion studies (Li et al. 2015 (link); Wong et al. 2019 (link); Zhao et al. 2018 (link)). Cells were proliferated by seeding them into 100 mm plates at 500,000 cells per dish and cultured in growth medium (DMEM/F12 supplemented with 1 % penicillin-streptomycin, 2 mM L-glutamine, 10 % FBS, and 10 mM HEPES) at 37 °C, 5 % CO2. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs, CC-2935, Lonza, Minneapolis, MN, USA) were used as the endothelial cell layer and were grown in complete medium (basal medium (CC-3156, Lonza, Minneapolis, MN, USA) supplemented with EGM-2 Plus medium (CC-4176, Lonza, Minneapolis, MN, USA)). All reagents were purchased from Thermo Fisher unless otherwise stated.

HTR-8/SVneo cells (ATCC, CRL-3271™, Lot# 64275781, Manassas, VA, USA) were cultivated in RPMI-1640 medium (Gibco; 31870074, Carlsbad, CA, USA) containing 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS; PanBiotech; P40-38100, Aidenbach, Germany) and 1% glutamax (Gibco; 35050061, Carlsbad, CA, USA). The cells were sub-cultured every 3–5 days. CASY cell counter and analyzer (CASY; Innovatis Technologies Inc., Fairfax, VA, USA) was used to determine the cell number. The conditions for cell cultivation in the incubator were 37 °C and 5% CO2. Mycoplasma contamination was tested on a regular basis (MycoAlert; Lonza, Basel, Switzerland). HTR-8/SVneo cells from passages 86 to 96 were used.
Human placental endothelial cells (HPEC) and human trophoblast cells (hTC) used in the immunoblot (Figure 1) were isolated from healthy placentas according to previous studies [4 (link),52 (link)].

Gene silencing of HSPA5 was performed in the human placental trophoblast cell line HTR8/SVneo (CRL-3271™; ATCC, Manassas, Virginia). The procedure for gene silencing was described in detail previously.40 (link) Cells were grown in RPMI-1640 growth medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, Massachusetts). The growth medium was supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Missouri) and 1× penicillin/streptomycin (Sigma-Aldrich). Cells were grown at 37 °C (5% CO2, humidified atmosphere), and 0.05% trypsin/0.02% EDTA was used in subculturing. HTR8/SVneo cells were reverse and forward transfected with siRNAs targeting HSPA5 (sense GAUAAUCAACCAACUGUUA, antisense UAACAGUUGGUUGAUUAUC) (Sigma-Aldrich). For the control, MISSION siRNA Universal Negative Control #1 (Sigma-Aldrich) was transfected in the same way as the siRNAs that targeted HSPA5. Lipofectamine 3000 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, California) was used as a transfection reagent. Cells (100,000/well) were incubated with 10 nM siRNA concentration in the reverse transfection. Forward transfection was performed after 24 h of incubation. In the forward transfection, cells were transfected again with siRNA concentrations of 10 nM. Cells were incubated with siRNAs for 48 h and then harvested with 1× trypsin–EDTA (Sigma-Aldrich).

Swan 71 cells, immortalized by human telomerase, were constructed by Gil Mor lab at Yale University.[84 (link)
] HTR‐8/SVneo cells were commercially available (CRL‐3271, ATCC, USA). Swan 71 cells and HTR‐8/SVneo cells were, respectively, cultured in DMEM medium (Gibco, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and RPMI 1640 medium (Gibco, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) supplemented with 10% FBS (fetal bovine serum) at 37 °C with 5% v/v CO2. Swan 71 cells were also synchronized in the G2 phase using double‐thymidine block and release protocols.[85
] Briefly, trophoblast cells were incubated in medium containing 2 mm thymidine (Sigma–Aldrich) for 18 h; then, in fresh medium for 9 h; and then, incubated in medium containing 2 mm thymidine for 18 h to synchronize cells in the S phase. Subsequently, the cells were incubated in fresh medium for 5 h to synchronize cells in the G2 phase, which were further verified by flow cytometry analysis.

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.
