HeLa cells were maintained in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s Medium (DMEM) (Cellgro) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (HyClone), 100 U/mL penicillin and 100 μg/mL streptomycin (Cellgro) and 2 mM L-glutamine (Invitrogen) at 37°C and 5% CO2. All cDNA constructs were transfected into cells using FuGene6 (Roche) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. IA32 Mouse Embryonic Fibroblast (MEF) cells were maintained in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s Medium (DMEM) (Cellgro) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (HyClone) and 1× GlutaMAX (Thermo Fisher Scientific).
IA32MEFs were transfected with either RhoG siRNA (CAGGTTTACCTAAGAGGCCAA) or Allstars Negative Control siRNA (Qiagen, United States). 7.5 μL, 10 μM siRNA was added to 250 μL serum-free DMEM. 3 μL lipofectamine RNAimax was added to another 250 μL serum-free DMEM. After 5 min, the two solutions were mixed and incubated for 20 min, followed by dropwise addition to a 35 mm dish. Medium was changed after 24 h and cells were split as required for use in experiments 48–72 h post-transfection, when knock-down efficiency was maximal. Control siRNA cells were incubated with 5 μM CFDA green for 20 min in serum-free DMEM. CFDA-labeled control cells were mixed with unlabeled RhoG siRNA cells immediately prior to the experiment.

High grade serous carcinoma cell line Kuramochi and non-serous ovarian carcinoma cell line SKOV3 were obtained from American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA) and the cells were authenticated by short tandem repeat analysis as described (13 (link)). Kuramochi cells were maintained in Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI)-1640 medium (Cellgro) and SKOV3 cells were maintained in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) (Cellgro), both at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator. In both cases, the media were supplemented with 10% FBS (Gemini Bio-Products), 50 U/ml penicillin, 50 µg/ml streptomycin (Cellgro). For LPA-stimulation studies, 18.1 LPA (1-oleoyl-2-hydroxy-sn-glycero-3-phosphate; cat. no. 85730), was obtained from Avanti Polar Lipids (Alabaster, AL). LPA was dissolved in 10 mM stock solutions in phosphate buffered saline containing 1% BSA and stored at −80°C until use.
Human cell lines and methods used in this study were approved by the Institutional Review Board for the protection of the Human Subjects of the University of Oklahoma (approval no. 9599).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Rat fetal lung fibroblasts, which are entirely Thy-1–negative (RFL6; American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, VA), were cultured in Ham’s F12 K nutrient mixture (F-12K) media containing 10% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) were isolated from C57BL/6 mice and sorted for Thy-1 expression using FITC-labeled Thy-1.2-specific antibodies as previously described.19 (link) Sorted MEFs were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM; Cellgro, Manassas, VA) supplemented with 10% FBS, in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2. Two different batches of sorted Thy-1 subpopulations of MEFs were used in this study and yielded similar results.

Evaluating SARS-CoV-2 Infectious Dose via Plaque Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
L2 cells (ATCC CCL-149TM) were used for the MHV plaque assay. In addition, the mouse asterocytoma-derived cell line (DBT), was used to propagate MHV (generously provided by Julian Leibowitz, Texas A&M Health Science Center, College Station, TX). All cells used in this study were cultured at 37°C in 5% CO2 in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM; Cellgro) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), penicillin (50 IU/mL), and streptomycin (50 μg/mL). MHV strain A59 (ATCC VR-764) was used for all the experiments in this study. The virus stocks used for this study were produced as previously described (59 (link)). The MHV viral titer used for all experiments was ~1.0 × 104 PFU/mL. We chose 100 μL (1.0 × 103 virus particles) to inoculate on each of our samples because 1.0 × 102 – 2.0 × 103 virus particles is the predicted minimal amount of virus particles needed in order to infect someone (60 (link), 61 (link)). In addition, we chose 1.0 × 103 virus particles because according to a recent publication modeling the SARS-CoV-2 viral titer when sneezing or coughing on a surface, the range of virus particles for a cough or sneeze was ~1.0 × 103 – 1.0 × 105, which is in this range (62 (link)).

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.
