Sperm were preincubated in a modified Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate solution (TYH) containing 0.75 mM methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MBCD, Sigma-Aldrich, St, Louis, MO, USA) that strongly promotes sperm capacitation by facilitating cholesterol efflux from the plasma membrane of the sperm [3 , 22 (link)]. Modified human tubal fluid (mHTF) with a high concentration of calcium (5.14 mM), which is bicarbonate-buffered solution, was used as the cumulus removal and fertilization mediums [23 (link), 24 (link)]. Potassium simplex optimization medium (KSOM) was used to culture embryos to the blastocyst stage [25 (link)]. Hyaluronidase was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (400–1000 unit/mg of Hyaluronidase from bovine testes, Type I-S; Sigma-Aldrich). The titer of Hyaluronidase (Lot No. 029K7001V), measured by Sigma-Aldrich, was 801
unit/ml. A stock solution of 1% Hyaluronidase was prepared in mHTF and stored at – 20 C until use.

Synovial fluid sample collection was carried out as previously described [16 (link)]. The samples without detectable hemolysis were centrifuged at 400× g at 4 °C for 5 min to remove cells and debris, then aliquoted and stored at −80 °C until use.
A five hundred μL aliquoted sample was thawed and treated with 1 μg/mL hyaluronidase (Sigma-Aldrich, Gillingham, UK) at 37 °C for 1 h [16 (link)], then centrifuged at 10,000× g, at 5 °C for 10 min. The Bradford method measured the total SF protein concentration by eluding a mean of 13 μg/μL (±1.4).
The SF samples treated with 1 μg/mL hyaluronidase were concentrated by 3-kDa cut-off Amicon filter (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) to reach the concentration of about 25 μg/μL and treated with ProteoMiner™ Small Capacity beads (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA). Five mg of SF’s proteome were appropriately adapted to its subcolumn and processed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Finally, the enriched SF protein concentration was determined.

Samples were prepared as previously described (Hellingman et al., 2010) . Briefly, collagen type IIstained samples were incubated for 30 min at 37 °C in 1 mg/mL pronase (Sigma-Aldrich) and 10 mg/ mL hyaluronidase (Sigma-Aldrich). 10 % normal goat serum (Southern Biotech, Uithoorn, The Netherlands) was used to block non-specific antibody binding. Sections were incubated with 0.4 mg/mL of mouse anti-collagen type II antibody (II-II/II6B3; Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA, USA). Collagen type X staining was performed by incubating samples with 0.1 % pepsin (Sigma-Aldrich) in 0.5 M acetic acid (pH 2.0), followed by 10 mg/mL hyaluronidase treatment. Rat knees were decalcified for 2 weeks in 10 % EDTA (w/v in distilled water; Sigma-Aldrich). Sections were incubated for 16 h with 1 : 10 or 1 : 100 diluted mouse anti-collagen type X antibody (X53; Quartett, Berlin, Germany; in PBS/1 % BSA). All stainings were incubated for 30 min with 2. mL Naphtol AS-MX phosphate (Sigma-Aldrich), 33 μL/mL dimethylformamide (Sigma-Aldrich) and 0.25 mg/mL levamisole (Sigma-Aldrich). Collagen type II samples were rinsed in PBS, followed by haematoxylin counterstaining. Matching mouse IgG (X0931; Dako, Fisher Scientific) isotype controls were performed for each staining.

Hyaluronidase Inhibition Assay Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The hyaluronidase inhibitory assay was performed following the suggested method of Kolakul et al. [52 (link)] using 1.5 units of hyaluronidase (Sigma Aldrich) as well as hyaluronic acid solution (0.03% (w/v)) as the substrate. The precipitation of the undigested form of hyaluronic acid occurred with acid albumin solution (0.1% (w/v) BSA). Then, absorbance was measured at 600 nm using a microplate reader (BioTek ELX800; BioTek Instruments, Colmar, France). hyaluronidase’s inhibitory effect was expressed as the percent of inhibition relative to the control (extraction solvent) for every extract sample. Oleanolic acid (10 µM) was used as a specific inhibitor of hyaluronidase.

E14 Lgr5-GFP embryos were collected and the whole skin containing the MGs was dissected. Tissues were digested in 300U/ml collagenase (Sigma cat#C0130) + 300μg/ml hyaluronidase (Sigma cat#4272) diluted in HBSS for 1h30 at 37°C under shaking. EDTA at a final concentration of 5mM was added for 3min, followed by two washes in 10% FBS/PBS and 2% FBS/PBS before filtration through a 40μm mesh. Adult MGs were dissected and the lymph nodes removed. Tissues were briefly washed in HBSS, and chopped in 1mm3 pieces. Chopped tissues were digested in HBSS + 300 U/ml collagenase (Sigma cat#C0130) + 300μg/ml hyaluronidase (Sigma cat#4272) for 2h at 37°C under agitation. Physical dissociation using a P1000 pipette was done every 15mins throughout the enzymatic digestion. EDTA 5mM was added for 5 minutes, followed by 0,25% Trypsin-EGTA for 1 min before filtration through a 70-μm mesh, and 2 successive washes in 2% FBS/PBS.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MII oocytes were collected from 6‐ to 10‐week‐old C57BL/6NHsd mice. Mice were treated with pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (5 IU, PMSG; Sigma, St. Louis, MO) and human chorionic gonadotropin (5 IU, HCG; Sigma). Female mice were manually restrained for intraperitoneal (IP) injections. HCG was IP injected into female mice 47‐49 h after their last PMSG injection. Approximately 16 h after HCG injection, oviducts were collected from female mice and placed in M2 media (Sigma). Each oviduct was then transferred to a dish containing M2 media and hyaluronidase (Sigma). The ampulla was incised and washed with M2 media to obtain the oocytes. Oocytes were collected and placed into a 100‐µL drop of KSOM (Sigma) using embryo‐tested mineral oil (Sigma) that had been equilibrated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere. When required, cumulus cells were treated with bovine testes hyaluronidase (0.1%, Sigma). Mouse sperm was harvested from the cauda epididymis of 10‐15‐week‐old C57BL/6NHsd male mice, and the spermatozoa were suspended in M2 medium for 20 min. All animal experiments and procedures were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of Sun Yat‐Sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat‐Sen University.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To remove HA matrix before seeding in 24-well plates, after trypsin detachment, both ACHs and FLSs were split in two, and one aliquot was treated for 10 min at 37 °C with 10 U/mL hyaluronidase (Sigma-Aldrich), whereas the other aliquot was incubated for the same time without the enzyme (mock). After two washes, treated cells were supplemented with 1 mM 4-methylumbelliferone (4-MU) (Sigma-Aldrich), an HA synthesis inhibitor, in the complete medium, and eventually, both hyaluronidase + 4-MU treated and untreated cells were seeded as previously described. 4-MU was left all night in treated cells. The following day, CFSE-labeled EVs (ratio of 50,000 EVs per seeded cell) were added in both treated and untreated cells and 4-MU was maintained in treated cells. Flow cytometry was performed at 0 (before EV addition) and 24 h and 4-MU treated (±EVs) vs untreated (±EVs) samples compared. Fluorescence values were normalized by detected events under SSC-A vs FSC-A plot.
