To prepare the Ca
2+-free medium, Hank’s balanced salt solution (
HBSS; 14175-095, Gibco) was supplemented with 20 mM hydroxyethylpiperazine ethane sulfonic acid (
HEPES; Dojindo), 0.5 mM ethylene glycol-bis(2-aminoethylether)-N,N,N’,N’-tetraacetic acid (EGTA; E3889, Sigma), 1 mM magnesium chloride (MgCl
2;
M8266, Sigma), and 1 mM magnesium sulfate (MgSO
4; 746452, Sigma) (Kim et al., 2015 (
link)). To prepare the Ca
2+ medium,
HBSS was supplemented with 20 mM
HEPES, 1 mM MgSO
4, and 1 mM calcium chloride (CaCl
2; 18230S0301, JUNSEI). The Ca
2+ medium did not include EGTA, a calcium chelator, or MgCl
2, a supplemented ion. To represent normal conditions, CO
2-independent culture medium (18045088, Gibco) containing 0.5% (v/v) FBS, 4 mM
l-glutamine (LS002-1, Welgene), 100 U/ml penicillin, and 100 μg/ml streptomycin was used. Yoda1 (SML1558), methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD; 332615), ML-7 (I2764), gadolinium (Ⅲ) chloride hexahydrate (G7535), and
thapsigargin (T9033) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Nocodazole (S2775) was purchased from Selleckchem.
Cytochalasin D (ab143484) was obtained from Abcam.
