Maintaining Human Cell Lines for Research

Human H9 ESCs (Lot No.: WIC-WA09-MB-001, WiCell, Wisconsin) and its derivatives were maintained at 37 °C, 5% CO2 in chemical defined medium TeSR-E8 medium (Stemcell Tech.) with 100U/ml penicillin & 100 μg/ml streptomycin (Gibco) on matrigel (#CB40230A, Corning) coated tissue culture vessels. Authentication of H9 ESCs were performed by WiCell. ESCs were passaged every 4 to 6 days to maintain sub-confluence using 0.5 mM EDTA as described previously (20 (link)). Human colon cancer RKO cells (kindly given by Dr. Bert Vogelstein) and its derivatives were maintained at 37 °C, 5% CO2 in McCoy’s 5A media (Fisher) supplemented with 10% FBS and 100U/ml penicillin & 100 μg/ml streptomycin (Gibco). RKO cells were passaged every 3 to 4 days to maintain sub-confluence (Authentication of RKO cell line was performed by JHU-GRCF Biorepository & Cell Center). Cells were screened for mycoplasma before experiments using a MycoAlert™ Mycoplasma Detection Kit (Lonza).
All cell lines were passaged in our laboratory for no more than 30 passages after resuscitation.

Human H9 ESCs (WiCell, Madison, WI, US, passage 30–50) or human iPSC 31731 (link) were maintained on Geltrex (Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA) in Essential 8 Medium (Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA) with daily media change. ROCK inhibitor (Y27632, 10uM, ApexBio, Boston, MA, USA) was added to the culture for 24 hours after passaging to prevent single cell-induced cell death of hPSCs.

Pluripotency and Surface Marker Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human H9 ESCs (WiCell, WA09) were used as the positive control for FACS analysis to detect the pluripotency marker OCT4 and the human ESC cell surface marker SSEA4. HEK293T cells were used as the negative cell control for iPSC and NPC marker detection. Cells were dissociated and passed through a 70 µm cell strainer to make single cell suspension. For cell surface marker staining, cells were directly incubated with fluorophore‐conjugated primary antibodies for 20 min on ice. The same fluorophore‐conjugated IgGs were included as the isotype controls. For intracellular OCT4 staining, cells were first fixed and permeabilized using a Fixation/Permeabilization Solution Kit (BD, 554 714) before incubation with the PE‐conjugated anti‐Oct3/4 primary antibody. The PE‐conjugated mouse IgG1 was included as the isotype control. Cells were washed twice and resuspended in phosphate‐buffered saline (PBS) containing DAPI and 0.1% donkey serum. The samples were run on Attune NxT Flow Cytometer (ThermoFisher Scientific) and data were analyzed by FlowJo v10. The detailed information of all the primary antibodies and isotype controls used were listed in Table S7 (Supporting Information).

Hypoxic Retinal Precursor Cells Co-Cultured with Neural Progenitor Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immortalized R28 retinal precursor cells were cultured as previously described [9 (link)]. H9 human ESCs (WiCell Research Institute, Madison, WI, USA) were routinely maintained on Matrigel-coated culture dishes (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) in TeSR™-E8™ medium (STEMCELL Technologies, Vancouver, BC, Canada). The culture process for NPCs is detailed in a recent publication [8 (link)]. A hypoxic environment was created in R28 cells using cobalt chloride (CoCl2). R28 cells were seeded at a density of 2 × 105 and then treated with 300 µM CoCl2 for 3 h. Following this, NPCs were added to the damaged R28 cells. After 24 h, the cells were harvested and prepared for analysis.

Maintaining H9 Human Embryonic Stem Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
H9 human ESCs (WiCell Research Institute, Madison, WI, USA) were routinely maintained on Matrigel-coated culture dishes (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) in TeSR™-E8™ medium (STEMCELL Technologies, Vancouver, BC, Canada). For passaging, ESCs were incubated with 0.5 mM EDTA (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) in a 37 °C CO2 incubator for 3 min and then were split in the ratio of 1:20 onto Matrigel-coated dishes with TeSR™-E8™ medium containing 10 μM Y-27632 (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). TeSR™-E8™ medium without Y-27632 was changed daily from two days after passage. Experiments using hESCs were approved by the Institutional Review Board of CHA University (IRB No. 1044308-201603-LR-004-09).

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.
