ALS Cell Model Establishment and Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
NSC34, the motor neuronal cell line (Cedarlane Laboratories, Vancouver, Canada), is a hybrid of embryonic mouse spinal cord motor neuron and neuroblastoma cell line. It is characterized by extension of neuritis, generation of action potentials, expression of neurofilament proteins and choline acetyl-transferase, synthesis and storage of acetylcholine, and induction of twitching in co-cultured muscle cells [31 (link)]. The ALS cell model was established by stably transfection of mutant hSOD1G93A in NSC34, while the control was transfected with wild-type hSOD1 (WT) or empty puromycin lentivirus vector (EV).
SHSY5Y (human neuroblastoma), Hela (human cervical cancer), and HEK293T (human embryonic kidney) cells were obtained from the Cell Bank of Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The cells have been authenticated by short tandem repeat (STR) profiling and tested for mycoplasma contamination. The cells were cultivated in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM, Gibco) supplemented by 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Natocor) and 100 U/mL of penicillin-streptomycin at 37 °C with 5% CO2.

Human hepatoma cells (HuH7, Thermo Fisher Scientific),47 mouse myoblast cells (C2, ATCC CRL-1772), and mouse neuronal cells (NSC34, Cedarlane)62 (link) were seeded in 6-well plates (5 × 105 cells/well) and transfected with plasmids encoding sec-hGAA (2 μg/well) using Lipofectamine 3000 in OPTIMEM medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. A plasmid encoding EGFP under the control of the phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) promoter (2 μg/well) was transfected as a control. 200 ng/well of the PGK-EGFP plasmid were co-transfected with sec-hGAA plasmids to normalize transfection efficiency. 72 hr after transfection, cells and conditioned media were harvested and analyzed for GAA enzyme activity and hGAA expression by western blot analyses. Early-passage cell cultures were used in the study.
Human skeletal muscle myoblasts (CSC-C3196, Creative Bioarray) were seeded on collagen-coated 12-well plates and infected with AAV9-hGAA or AAV9-EGFP vectors for 2 hr in OPTIMEM medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific) at an MOI of 2 × 105 vg/cell. After infection, cells were maintained using the Creative Bioarray SuperCult Skeletal Muscle Cell Growth Medium Kit supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and human fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2, Miltenyi Biotec). Infection was repeated twice, every 48 hr; cells were harvested 48 hr following the second infection.

Multimodal Cell Line Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
NSC‐34 (Cedarlane), HEK 293T (ATCC) and SH‐SY5Y (ATCC) cells were used in this study. SH‐SY5Y cells were differentiated with retinoic acid prior to incubation with sEV. HEK 239A with GFP knocked‐into the AAVS1 locus using CRISPR was obtained from Ryan Russell (University of Ottawa). emGFP was knocked‐in with CRISPR technology. HEK 293T expressing GFP siRNA in a pre‐miR‐451 backbone was previously described (Reshke et al., 2020 (link)). Neonatal normal human dermal fibroblast (NHDF‐Neo) (Cedarlane, CC‐2509) were transduced with lentivirus (pLVX‐AcGFP1‐N1 vector, Clontech, 632154)

Cell Line Authentication and Mycoplasma Screening

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The following cell lines were used: NSC-34 (CLU140, Cedarlane), MDA-MB-231 (ATCC), C8S (CRL-2535, ATCC), C8D1A (CRL-2541, ATCC), MN-1 (gift of J. Cote, University of Ottawa), Neuro2a (CCL-131, ATCC), 293T (CRL-3216, ATCC), MSC-TERT (Cedarlane), and Human neonatal dermal fibroblasts (Lonza, CC-2509). BV2 cells were a gift of Dr. David Park (University of Ottawa). Bone marrow-derived macrophages were generated from femurs of wild-type C57/B6 mice selected by adherence and matured in GM-CSF for 1 week. Cell lines were not authenticated. Cell lines were verified to be free of mycoplasma contamination by assessing for cytoplasmic DAPI staining. All cell culture was performed at 37 °C in 5% CO2 in humidified incubators.

In Vitro Cell Adhesion on SilkBridge

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In vitro cell tests were performed using RT4-D6P2T, a schwannoma cell line (ATCC catalog number CRL-2768) and Mouse Motor Neuron NSC-34 cell Line (Cedarlane catalog number CLU140).
SilkBridge  conduits were cut longitudinally and immersed in phosphate buffer saline (PBS). To allow cell adhesion, the longitudinally open conduits were pressed for a few minutes and then fixed to the culture plate-well through an insert (Sigma Aldrich, CellCrown  inserts, catalogue number Z74230). For control conditions, cell lines were plated on not coated glass coverslips.

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.
