Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Culture

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All hiPSCs were previously validated with respect to their stemness and differentiation capacity (91 (link)). The hiPSCs were routinely tested for mycoplasma. In total, four hiPSC lines from two donors were included. Approval for this study was obtained from the Stanford Institutional Review Board, and informed consent was obtained from all donors. hiPSCs were maintained in their pluripotent state by being cultured with mTESR-1 Plus (STEMCELL Technologies) media in monolayer on human embroyonic stem cell (hESC)–qualified Matrigel (0.1 mg/ml; Sigma-Aldrich).

The iPSCs obtained from reprogramming were maintained in culture on 6-well plates coated with Matrigel (Cod. 354277, Corning, New York, NY, USA) in mTeSR1 plus (Cod. 05826, Stem Cell Technologies, Vancouver, Canada and incubated at 37 °C, 5% CO2. The medium was changed every other day, and when the cells reached 7080–% confluence they were split and transferred to new plates.

Differentiated Sensory Neuron Co-culture

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
hiPS cell line was generated from 2-year-old male foreskin fibroblasts ordered from Coriell institute (AG07095). hiPS cell line was maintained with daily media change of mTeSR1 plus (StemCell technologies) and passaging every 4-5 days using ReLeSR (StemCell technologies). hES-qualified Matrigel (Corning) was used as a matrix. Calu3 cells and HEK293T cells were cultured using DMEM, 10% FBS, L-Glutamine, Pen/Strep and non-essential amino acids. All cells were cultured at 37°C with 5% of CO2.
For the co-cultures, HEK293T cells were resuspended in Neuro maturation media (BrainPhys media, N2 supplement (1X), B27 supplement (1X), BDNF (10ng/ml), GDNF (10ng/ml), NT3 (10ng/ml), Pen/Strep and non-essential amino acids) and added to terminally differentiated sensory neurons. Co-cultures were analyzed or infected after 48h at 37°C.

All work with hiPSC and the derived cell types was performed under the respective Swiss legislation, ethical guidelines and approval. hiPS_SFC_086 (generated by the StemBANCC Innovative Medicines Initiative consortium [27 (link)]; https://www.imi.europa.eu/projects-results/project-factsheets/stembancc, accessed on 20 December 2021) and BIONi010-C (Bioneer, DK-2970 Hørsholm, Denmark) lines were cultured in mTeSR1 Plus (StemCell Technologies, Vancouver, BC, Canada) on 12.5 µg/mL rhLaminin-521 (BioLamina, Sundbyberg, Sweden) coated plates. RevitaCell (Gibco, Waltham, MA, USA) would be supplemented into the medium for splitting and thawing.

Maintenance and Validation of hPSCs and HUVECs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
hPSCs were maintained on Matrigel-coated dishes in mTESR1(StemCell Technologies catalog #85850), mTESR1 Plus (StemCell Technologies catalog #100-0276), or mTESR1 with FGF2-DISCs (StemCultures LLC, catalog # DSC500). HUVECs (Lonza) were cultured on 0.2% gelatin coated tissue culture dishes in EGM-2 medium (PromoCell catalog #C-22111). HUVECs were used at passage 4 or 5. The hESC line used in this work was WMC-2 carrying a VE-cadherin-promotor-mOrange reporter.46 (link) hiPSC lines used in this work to validate finding in different cell lines from various donors were as follows: TCW1E33–1C6,74 (link) TCW1E44-b,74 (link) TCW2E33–2E3,74 (link) TCW2E44–4B4,74 (link) TCW3E33-RC1H,74 (link) TCW4E33-MC2C,74 (link) TCW4E44-RC2C,74 (link) GIH-161,75 (link) F11350,75 (link) F12442,76 (link) F11430,76 (link) F12436,76 (link) F12424,76 (link) and CO0002.77 (link)

Isolation and Characterization of iPSC-Derived Extracellular Vesicles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The iPSCs (GD01-009) were gifted from Guidon Pharmaceutics (Beijing, China) and maintained in mTeSR1 plus (100-0276, Stemcell Technologies, Vancouver, BC, Canada) on Matrigel-coated plates (354277, Corning, NY, USA). The iPSCs were passaged as clumps using Versene Solution (15040066, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Watham, MA, USA) at a ratio of 1:4–1:6 every 4–5 days. The culture medium was substituted daily with GDEV medium (GDSJ0040, Guidon Pharmaceutics, Beijing, China) and centrifuged after daily collection to remove larger particles [42 (link)]. The supernatant was filtered and concentrated with Amicon Ultra-15 Centrifugal Filters (Ultracel-100 kDa, Merck Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA). The collected iPSC-EVs were stored at −80 °C.
The diameter, particle number and surface markers (CD9 or CD63) of iPSC-EVs were analyzed using a Flow NanoAnalyzer (NanoFCM, Xiamen, China). Transmission electron microscopy was used to identify the morphology of iPSC-EVs.

Derivation and Characterization of iPSCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
iPSCs were derived from primary fibroblasts of subject 1 (p.Leu537Pro) reprogrammed by using the non-integrating episomal technology (Epi5 Episomal iPSC Reprogramming Kit, Thermofisher Scientific), following manufacturer’s instructions. Control iPSCs were derived from fibroblasts of an age- and sex-matched healthy subject using the same experimental approach. Pluripotency of the obtained iPSCs was verified by assessing positivity for alkaline phosphatase activity (86R, Leukocyte Alkaline Phosphatase Kit, Sigma Aldrich) and SOX2 (14-9811-82, Invitrogen, 1:100), POU5F1/OCT4 (MA5-14845, Thermofisher, 1:400), SSEA4 (sc-21 704, Santa Cruz, 1:250), PODXL/TRA-1-60 (sc-21 705, Santa Cruz, 1:100) expression by immunofluorescence microscopy analysis. iPSC lines were grown in feeder-free condition using Matrigel (BD Biosciences) in mTeSR1 Plus (Stemcell Technologies) at 37°C, 5% CO2. Differentiation of iPSC lines into motoneurons was performed as previously reported (54 ).

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.
