Pooled HUVECs (Thermo Fisher Scientific) were cultured according to manufacturer’s instructions using Medium 200PRF completed with Low Serum Growth Supplement Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Exosomes (25 μg/mL) derived from hMSCs grown onto TNs were stained with 10 μM BODIPY™ TR ceramide (Thermo Fisher Scientific) for 20 min at 37 °C. A mix without exosomes was used as the negative control. Excess unincorporated dye was removed from the labeled exosomes with Exosome Spin Columns (MW 3000) (Thermo Fisher Scientific), following the manufacturer’s protocol. The labeled exosomes or control solution were then incubated for 4 h with HUVECs seeded at a density of 5 × 104 cells/cm2 in 24-well plates the day before. After incubation, HUVECs were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde solution in PBS for 10 min, then permeabilized for 10 min in 0.2% Triton X-100 (Sigma-Aldrich) prepared in PBS. After three washing cycles with PBS, the cells were incubated in 2% BSA solution in PBS for 1 h at RT. The cells were then stained with Alexa Fluor™ 488 Phalloidin (Thermo Fisher Scientific) for 1 h at room temperature. Nuclear staining was performed with ProLong™ Glass Antifade Mountant with NucBlue™ Stain (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The cells were observed with the Nikon A1 confocal microscope (Nikon, Minato, Tokyo, Japan) equipped with a 63X objective.

MDA-MB-231 cells (ATCC, Manassas, USA) were cultured in
Dulbecco’s modified eagle medium (Gibco, Grand Island, USA) with 10%
fetal bovine serum (Gibco, Grand Island, USA) at 37°C with 5%
CO2. Cells were used between passages 5 and 7. The media was
changed every 48 hours. Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC) (Thermo
Fisher Scientific, USA) were cultured in medium M200 (Thermo Fisher Scientific,
USA) supplemented with a low serum growth supplement kit (Thermo Fisher
Scientific, USA). HUVECs were used between passage 1–3. Cells were
enzymatically dissociated using TrypLE (ThermoFisher Scientific, MA, USA) for
5–7 minutes and centrifuged at 250G for 5 minutes, and resuspended.
MDA-MB-231 cells were seeded at a density of 30,000 cm−2, and
HUVECs were seeded at 20,000 cm−2. Before seeding, PDMS
channels were lifted off from the POMA functionalized coverslips to enable
direct access to the collagen gel. A 2mm × 20mm2 laser-cut
poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) well was cleaned with ethanol and attached to
the region surrounding the gel using a pressure-sensitive adhesive (MP468, 3M,
USA).

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.
