Isolation of Human Heart Biopsies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A total of 32 human biopsies were obtained from 32 donors (16 fetal and 16 adult). Fetal heart tissue was harvested under the supervision of the UCLA institutional review board, and adult human heart tissue was harvested from discarded pathological specimens at the time of heart transplantation under the supervision of the UCLA institutional review board or at the time of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) placement under the supervision of the UW institutional review board (Table S4). Biopsies were stored in Ca2+/Mg++-free Dulbecco’s PBS (DPBS; Cellgro) supplemented with 2% penicillin/streptomycin (P/S) and processed at a maximum of 4 hr postsurgery. Further details of heart dissociation and primary culture of HDCs are described in the Supplemental Experimental Procedures.

Bone Marrow Engraftment in CD45.1 Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CD45.1 mice were engrafted with heterozygous
CX3CR1/GFP+/− bone marrow as described
previously (Lu et al., 2011 (link); Marker et al., 2013 (link)). Briefly, 8-week-old
CD45.1 host mice were lethally irradiated with 9 Gy of gamma radiation from a
cesium source. Mice were head shielded to prevent any radiation-induced
neuroinflammation or damage (Ajami, Bennett,
Krieger, Tetzlaff, & Rossi, 2007
; Mildner et al., 2007 (link)). 8- to 12-week-old
CX3CR1/GFP+/− donor mice were euthanized by
CO2 asphyxiation and the bone marrow from the femurs and tibias
were collected in Dulbecco’s PBS (dPBS; Cellgro; 21–030-CV). Red
blood cells were lysed with ACK lysing buffer (Lonza; 10–548E), and the
remaining bone marrow cells were washed twice in sterile dPBS and resuspended at
a concentration of 5 × 107 cells/ml. 200μl of this cell
suspension was then injected into the tail veins of the irradiated host mice.
The mice recovered for 4 weeks prior to Tat injection.

Isolation and Culture of Human Primary Astrocytes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human primary astrocytes were bought from ScienCell Research Laboratories (San Diego, CA, USA). Astrocytes were isolated from the cerebral cortex of a 22-week-old human donor. Cells were grown on poly-L-lysine-coated 75 cm2 culture flasks, in astrocyte medium supplemented with antibiotics (penicillin, streptomycin), astrocyte growth supplement and 2% FBS (all components from ScienCell Research Laboratories) in 5% CO2 and an increased-humidity atmosphere, at 37 °C. The culture medium was changed every three days, or daily for a culture confluency over 75%. When the culture reached 90% confluency, the cells were washed with Dulbecco’s PBS (DPBS, Corning, Corning, NY, USA), detached with 0.025% tripsin/EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) in DPBS and a 5%FBS/DPBS solution and centrifuged (150× g, 5 min, 20 °C).

Maintenance of hiPSC-Derived Cardiomyocytes

Human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes49 (link) were routinely maintained in E8 medium implemented with 10 μM Rho kinase inhibitor (Y27632; Biorbyt, Cambridge, UK) for the first 24 h after passage on 1:400 reduced growth factor Matrigel (Corning, Corning, USA). Cells were passaged ~1:15 every 3–4 days using 0.5 mM EDTA in Dulbecco’s PBS (DPBS; Corning, Corning, USA) after achieving ~80% confluence. Cell lines were used between passages 20 and 85. All cultures were routinely tested for mycoplasma using a MycoAlert PLUS Kit (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland).

Protein Binding Domain Screening in HEK293Ts

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HEK293Ts were maintained in DMEM with GlutaMax (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum (GE Healthcare, Little Chalfont, UK) and 100 U/mL Pen Strep (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Dissociation of cells was achieved by washing with Dulbecco’s PBS (DPBS; Corning, Corning, NY) and incubation with Trypsin-EDTA 0.05% (v/v) (Thermo Fisher Scientific).
All transfections were performed with Lipofectamine LTX (Thermo Fisher Scientific) per manufacturer’s instructions at a 3:1 ratio of reagent to plasmid. For binding domain screening, 5 × 104 cells were plated in 24-well cluster plates. 1 μg of library clone plasmid was transfected either alone or with equimolar target plasmid along with an equal volume per weight of PLUS reagent. For protein extracts, 3 × 105 cells were plated in 6-well cluster plates and transfected with 2.5 μg plasmid with an equal volume per weight of PLUS reagent. At harvest, 10% of dissociated cells were separated for RNA and 90% for protein.

Isolated Lung Perfusion Protocol

We purchased Ca2+- and Mg2+-containing Dulbecco’s PBS (DPBS) and Ca2+- and Mg2+-free PBS from Corning. Isolated lungs were perfused with HEPES-buffered vehicle of pH 7.4 and osmolarity 295 mOsm containing 150 mM Na+, 5 mM K+, 1 mM Ca2+, 1 mM Mg2+, and 10 mM glucose. Except where noted, fluorophores, reagents, and antibodies microinstilled in alveoli were dissolved or suspended in the same HEPES-buffered solution.

Fibroblast α-SMA Expression Analysis

CRL-2097 fibroblasts were harvested with 0.05% trypsin and washed twice in Dulbecco’s PBS (DPBS; Corning Incorporated). Cells were fixed at 4°C for 20 min in cold methanol and washed in 1X DPBS. Blocking was performed for 30 min at room temperature in 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA; VWR International, Leicestershire, UK) in PBS with 0.05% Tween-20 (PBS-T) followed by a 30 min incubation in a primary antibody solution (1:200 dilution of α-SMA antibody) in PBS-T at room temperature. Cells were then washed again once in 1X DPBS and resuspended in a 1:500 dilution of secondary antibody solution in PBS-T (AlexaFluor488-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG). Cells were counterstained with 500 ng/ml propidium iodide for 15 min at room temperature in the dark and analyzed on an Accuri C6 flow cytometer using Accuri-C6 analysis software (version 1.0.264.21; BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). A total of 20,000 events were collected per sample.

Harvesting hMSM from Orthognathic Surgery

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
hMSM samples were collected from three individuals (1 male and 2 females, 17-33 years of age) who underwent Le Fort I osteotomy as the orthognathic surgery between April and October 2016, with a discarded hMSM available. Informed consent was obtained, and all samples were collected in accordance with relevant guidelines under and ethically approved by the Ethics Committee at the Kyung Hee University Dental Hospital (approval no. KHD IRB 1509-1). Patients who neither had experienced nor were diagnosed with sinus pathology, maxillary neoplasm, metabolic diseases, genetic disease, nor had a history of previous sinus surgery were selected. After the collection, the samples were suspended in Dulbecco's PBS (DPBS; Corning, Inc.) containing 1% penicillin-streptomycin (PS; Corning, Inc.). Samples that were ~1x1 cm in size were used for cell culture.

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were obtained by venipuncture and collected into acid citrate dextrose tubes (Becton−Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ) and further purified using Lymphocyte Separation Medium (Corning, Mediatech Inc., Manassas, VA). PBMC were washed 2–3 times in Dulbecco’s PBS (DPBS; Corning, Mediatech Inc.) to reduce platelet contamination.

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.
