Isolation of T Cells and AdMSC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
AdMSC/PBMC were cocultured for 3 days as in proliferation assays. PBMC were collected and adherent cells detached (Triple Select; Gibco, USA). For AdMSC and T cell purification, we first collected the cells that were in suspension from the co-culture (PBMC), washed and collected them again (Suspension A). Then, we washed adherent AdMSC with DPBS (Gibco, Rockville, USA), detached adherent them with Tryple Select (Gibco, Rockville, USA) and collected them separately (Suspension B). Then, we used the PanT cell kit (Miltenyi Biotec GmBH Bergisch Gladbach, Germany,) for magnetic negative selection of T cells (which contains the following antibodies anti- CD14, CD16, CD19, CD36, CD56, CD123 and CD235a) using suspensions A and B, separately. Therefore, all non-T cells such as monocytes, NK, B cells erythrocytes, granulocytes and dendritic cells remain attached to the column and, as T cells and MSC have none of these molecules, they do not adhere to the column. Then, to obtain T cells from Suspension A, we used the CD4+ and CD8+ kits for magnetic positive selection (Miltenyi Biotec GmBH Bergisch Gladbach, Germany). Cell purity: 70–90% (FACS). Isolated cells were stored in RNAprotect® Cell Reagent (Qiagen, AMBION,USA) at −80 °C, until RNA extraction.

Neuronal differentiation of human iPSCs was induced as previously described (Arioka et al., 2018 (link)). Briefly, iPSCs were pretreated with 3 µM SB431542 (Cayman, Ann Arbor, MI, United States), 3 µM CHIR99021 (Cayman), and 3 µM dorsomorphin (Sigma, Burlington, MA, United States) for 1 week (day 0–7) and dissociated into single cells by incubation with TripLE Select (Gibco) for 5 min. The cells were cultured in neurosphere medium containing MHM [DMEM/F12, supplemented with 1× N2 (Gibco), 0.6% glucose (Sigma), 5 mM HEPES (Sigma), 100 units/mL penicillin and 100 μg/mL streptomycin, 1× B27 (Gibco), 20 ng/mL bFGF, 10 ng/mL hLIF (Nacalai, Kyoto, Japan), 10 µM Y-27632 (Cayman), 3 µM CHIR99021, 2 μM SB431542, 100 ng/mL FGF8b (Peprotech, Cranbury, NJ, United States), and 1 µM purmorphamine (Cayman) for 1 week (day 7–14)]. On day 14, neurospheres were passaged by dissociation into single cells in the same manner as primary neurosphere formation. For terminal differentiation into dopaminergic neurons, secondary neurospheres were dissociated 1 week after passage (day 21) and plated onto poly-L-ornithine/laminin/fibronectin-coated dishes at the density of 3 × 104 cells/cm2 in dopaminergic neuron medium [MHM supplemented with B27, 10 µM DAPT (Cayman), 20 ng/mL BDNF (Peprotech), 20 ng/mL GDNF (R&D), 0.2 mM ascorbic acid (Sigma), 1 ng/mL TGF-β3 (R&D), and 0.5 mM dbcAMP (Sigma)].

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To evaluate the tightness of intercellular junctions in T24 and T24 Ncadlow cell aggregates, we performed hanging drop assay (adapted from [50 (link)]). For this, cancer urothelial cells T24 and T24 Ncadlow were harvested with TripleSelect (Gibco, Life Technologies), counted using a haemocytometer, and adjusted to a concentration of 2 × 106 cells/mL. 30 µl drops of cell suspension were deposited on the bottom of the lid of the 100 mm cell culture dish and the corresponding culture dish was filled with 10 mL sterile PBS. The PBS-filled culture dish was then covered with the lid, which resulted in hanging drops of cell suspension from the lid. Cells were incubated at 37 °C in a 95% humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 in the air until cell aggregates have formed at the bottom of the drop (1–2 days). Cell–cell adhesion was assessed by counting the cells released from the cell aggregates after forceful pipetting (10 times with a 200 μL Eppendorf pipette tip cut widely 5–6 mm from the tip). For each of the cell lines, we conducted at least four independent experiments in quadruplicates.
