Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A549 cells were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) and cultured in complete media containing F-12 Ham’s media (Corning), 10% fetal bovine serum (Atlanta Biologicals), 1% penicillin/streptomycin/glutamine (Corning). Calu-3 cells were also obtained from ATCC and cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% penicillin/streptomycin/glutamine (Corning). Both cell lines were maintained at 37°C 5% CO2. A549 cells were transduced with codon-optimized human ACE2 (Genscript) cloned into pBABE-puro [54 (link)] (Addgene). To generate the A549-ACE2 stable cell line, 107 HEK293T (ATCC) cells in T-175 flasks were transiently co-transfected with 60 μg mixture of pBABE-puro-ACE2, pUMVC, and pCMV-VSV-G at a 10:9:1 ratio using a calcium phosphate method [55 ]. Forty-eight hours post transfection, the supernatant was collected, centrifuged at 1000×g for 5 min and passed through a 0.45 μm syringe filter to remove cell debris. The filtered virus was mixed with fresh media (30% vol/vol) that included polybrene (Sigma) at a 6 μg/ml final concentration. The virus mixture was added into 6-well plates with 5×105 A549 cells/well and media was changed once more after 12 h. Transduced cells were selected in 0.5 μg/ml puromycin for 72 h, and ACE2 expression was confirmed by flow cytometry, western blot and susceptibility to HIV-1ΔEnv/SARS-CoV-2 Spike pseudovirions.

Generating Heterostable MDCK Cell Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MDCK cells were generously provided by Prof. Jianzhu Chen (MIT), and were originally purchased from American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA). The identity of these cells was authenticated by STR profiling. MDCK cells were cultured at 37°C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere in DMEM (CellGro) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (CellGro) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin/glutamine (CellGro). Cells were transduced with lentiviruses encoding either the DHFR.HSF1(Δ186–202) or DHFR.YFP gene. Heterostable cells expressing the construct of interest were then selected using 4 μg/mL puromycin. Single colonies were generated by diluting cells to ~40 cells per 96-well plate, expanding the resulting colonies, and functionally testing by qPCR or fluorescence microscopy in the presence or absence of trimethoprim (TMP; 10 μM). All cell lines were periodically tested for mycoplasma using the MycoSensor PCR Assay Kit from Agilent (302109).

CPCs were seeded at a density of 4 × 105 cells/well on functionalized Bioflex plates and incubated in treatment media (Ham's F-12 (Mediatech) + 0.1 μg/mL basic fibroblast growth factor (Sigma) + 1x insulin transferrin selenium (Cellgro) + 1x penicillin-streptomycin-glutamine (Cellgro)) for 6 hours prior to the application of mechanical tension. Tensile strain was applied through a Flexcell 5000 (Flexcell International). For this, Bioflex plates were loaded onto 25 mm cylindrical loading posts. A cyclic sinusoidal strain regimen of 1 Hz and 0.5 duty cycle, with an elongation magnitude of 5, 10, or 15%, was applied to the plates for 24 hours. Cells were maintained in 5% CO2 at 37°C throughout.

HEK293T-REx (Life Technologies) and MDCK cells and were cultured at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere in DMEM (CellGro) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (CellGro) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin/glutamine (CellGro). Lentiviruses encoding dox-inducible dn-cHSF1 and DHFR.dn-cHSF1 prepared as described in the Supporting Information were transduced into either MDCK cells, HEK293T-REx cells, or previously described HEK293T-REx cells already stably expressing FKBP.cHSF1.36 (link) Stable cell lines were selected by culturing in complete medium containing G418, blasticidin, Zeocin, hygromycin and/or puromicyin, as appropriate, prior to single-colony selection and characterization. Transient transfections of polyglutamine and FLuc-GFP.pCIneo constructs were performed using polyethylenimine.

All cells were cultured at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere. HEK293T cells (Life Technologies) used in transcriptional activation experiments were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) (CellGro) supplemented with 10% FBS (CellGro) and 1% penicillin–streptomycin–glutamine (CellGro). HEK293T cells used in surveyor assays and nuclease specificity experiments and U2OS.eGFP-PEST cells26 (link) stably integrated with an eGFP-PEST fusion gene were maintained in DMEM (Life Technologies) supplemented with 10% FBS, 1× penicillin–streptomycin–glutamax (Life Technologies) and 400 μg/mL of the selection antibiotic G418 (for the U2OS. eGFP-PEST cells).

The creation of temperature-sensitive immortalized striatal progenitor cells from STHdhQ111/111, STHdhQ111/+ and STHdh+/+ littermate embryos, and and culture conditions, have been described (58).

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.
