Primary cultured mixed glial cells and highly-enriched microglia and astrocytes were cultured directly on poly-D-lysine/laminin coated glass coverslips (Corning Biocoat, German) in 24-well plates at 1–2 × 105 cells/ml with complete medium for 24 h. Cells were washed with PBS and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 min on ice. Using a similar protocol as described previously36 (link). For brain histochemistry, mice were sacrificed and brains processed as described previously17 (link).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Dissociated E18 rat hippocampal neurons purchased from BrainBits LLC (Springfield, IL) were seeded on poly-D-lysine/laminin coated glass coverslips (Corning, Corning, NY) in Gibco neurobasal medium supplemented with 50× B-27 (20 ml/l), 100x Glutamax (2.4 ml/l) (all from Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA), and 25 μM of L-Glutamic acid (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). One half of the medium was replaced every 3 days, but omitting L-Glutamic acid. Neurons were used between 14 and 30 days in culture.

Tetrodotoxin-Resistant Nav1.7 Isoform Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The human adult-long splice Nav1.7 isoform complementary DNA (cDNA)
has been previously described.14 (link) Briefly, the cDNA was cloned into a mammalian expression vector and
converted to a tetrodotoxin-resistant phenotype by Y362S substitution
(hNav1.7R/AL, hereafter referred to as WT). The
hNav1.7R/AL-V810M missense mutation (hereafter
referred to as V810M) was introduced using QuickChange XL site-directed
mutagenesis (Stratagene, San Diego, CA). Human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293)
cells seeded onto 12 mm poly-D-lysine/laminin coated glass coverslips
(Corning, Corning, Inc., Corning, NY, USA) were cotransfected with either WT or
V810M plasmids (0.8 µg/well) and human β1 and β2 subunits (0.2 µg/well each)
using Lipofectamine 2000 reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). HEK293 cells
were maintained under standard culture conditions (37°C with 5% CO2)
in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM)/F12 medium supplemented with 10%
fetal bovine serum and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (hereafter referred to as DRG
medium).

Adult male Sprague Dawley rats (6-7 weeks old) were used according to the Catholic University of Korea Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee guidelines. L4-L6 DRG neurons were isolated and incubated in a complete saline solution (in mM: 137 NaCl, 5.3 KCl, 1 MgCl2, 25 D-sorbitol, 3 CaCl2, and 10 HEPES at a final pH of 7.2, adjusted with NaOH), as described previously by Rizzo et al.17 (link) and enzymatically digested with collagenase A (1 mg/mL; Roche, Indianapolis, IN) and then with collagenase D (1 mg/mL; Roche) and papain (30 U/mL; Worthington, Lakewood, NJ) for 20 min at 37°C, and then gently centrifuged (900 rpm for 3 min). Pellets were triturated in 1:1 DMEM/F-12 media (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) with 10% FBS and 100X Penicillin-Streptomycin (Thermo Fisher Scientific) containing bovine serum albumin (1.5 mg/mL; Sigma, S Louis, MO) and trypsin inhibitor (1.5 mg/mL; Sigma). Cells were plated on 12 mm Poly-D-Lysine/Laminin coated glass coverslips (Corning, Corning, NY). The electrophysiological recording was started after 2 hours when DRG cells were stabilized and attached well on 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.
