3D Cell Culture in Matrigel

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Four thousand cells were cultured in growth factor–reduced reconstituted basement membrane (Matrigel; BD Biosciences) in an eight-well NuncTM Lab-TekTM II chamber slide (Thermo-Fisher Scientific, NY) as described previously (Debnath et al., 2003 (link)). Cells were grown in the presence of or without 2 μg/ml dox in 37°C for 10 days. The cell lines were assayed in three independent experiments.

Visualizing Intracellular Trafficking of dsRNA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Since CypHer5E has a fluorescence maximum around pH 5 and almost no fluorescence around pH 7, it can indicate localization within the late endosomes.35 (link) One day prior to the experiment, 1.2 × 105 cells/well were seeded in eight well chamber microscope slides (NuncTM Lab-TekTM II, ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA). The next day, 25 ng of CypHer5E-dsGFP, either naked or conjugated with PLR10 (PLR:dsRNA mass ratio of 1:1), c-PLR10/Au/BSA and c-PLR10/Au/Hyd NPs (NP:dsRNA mass ratio of 5:1) and washed one time with DI water to remove free CypHer5E-dsGFP were mixed with 100 μL of SF900 II SFM medium then added to cells. At 4 h after exposure, the cells were washed twice with 1X phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), fixed with 100 μL of 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 min at room temperature and stained with EverBrite mounting medium (Biotium, Fremont, CA) containing 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). The cells were visualized with Leica SP8 confocal microscope at 63× magnification by overlapping DAPI (Blue; for nuclei), Alexa 633 (Red; for CypHer5E labeled dsRNA), and bright-field (BF) filters images.

Microscopic Analysis of RAW264.7 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The murine MΦ cell line RAW264.7 was purchased from ATCC (Manassas, VA) and maintained in growth media (DMEM (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin). Isolated CLDIs were added at 20 μM solution equivalent concentration in growth media to 8-well chamber-slides (NuncTM LabtekTM II, Thermo-Scientific Catalogue No. 154534) containing 5 × 104 RAW264.7 cells/well and incubated (24 h at 37 °C and 5% CO2). Following incubation, cells were fixed using 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS for 15 mins at room temperature followed by rinsing and washing with ice-cold PBS twice. The samples were counterstained with Hoechst33342 for nuclear labelling followed by removal of chambers. A drop of Prolong Gold® (Life Technologies) was placed on the sample and covered with a glass coverslip for imaging.

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.
