Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary neuronal culture was performed as described previously (10 (link),21 (link),22 (link)). Freshly dissociated (trypsin) hippocampi were plated (105 cells/well in a 12-well dish containing an 18-mm coverslip) in neuronal attachment media consisting of 10% horse serum (Eurobio), 1 mM sodium pyruvate (Thermo Fisher Scientific), 2 mM Glutamax-100X (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and penicillin/streptomycin (Thermo Fisher Scientific) in MEM (Thermo Fisher Scientific) for 3 h. The attachment medium was replaced, and cells were maintained in serum-free neurobasal medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific) supplemented with B27 (Gibco, Gaithersburg, MD) and 2 mM Glutamax-100X. Exposure to fibrillar α-Syn polymorphs was performed at days in vitro 14 (DIV 14). Fibrillar α-Syn polymorphs were diluted in fresh neurobasal medium. The “cell-conditioned neurobasal medium” was replaced with fibrillar α-Syn containing neurobasal medium for 15 min, the former kept aside at 37°C. After 15 min exposure, fibrillar-α-Syn-containing medium was removed, and the well was washed thrice. Lastly, the cells were replenished with “cell-conditioned neurobasal medium” and transferred back to the incubator until DIV 21.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary neurons were prepared from embryonic day 18 C57BL/6J mice (Janvier Labs, France). For biochemistry experiments, (proteomics studies and cell‐surface biotinylation), cortical neuronal cultures were plated on 6‐cm plate pre‐coated with 80 mg/ml poly‐D, L‐ornithine (Sigma, 24–48 h; Shrivastava et al, 2013b, 2015). Cortical neurons were used, as they can be prepared in larger quantities (2 × 106 cells/dish) as required for these experiments. All other experiments were performed on hippocampal neuronal cultures plated on 18 mm coverslips pre‐coated (24–48 h) with 80 mg/ml poly‐D, L‐ornithine. Freshly dissociated (trypsin) hippocampal cells were plated (1 × 105 cells/well) in neuronal attachment media consisting of 10% horse serum (Eurobio), 1 mM sodium pyruvate (GIBCO), 2 mM Glutamax‐100X (GIBCO), and penicillin/streptomycin (GIBCO) in MEM (GIBCO) for 3 h. The attachment medium was replaced and cells were maintained in serum‐free neurobasal medium (GIBCO) supplemented with 1X B27 (GIBCO) and 2 mM Glutamax‐100X. Cells were maintained by supplementing with fresh serum‐free neurobasal medium every week.

Primary cultures of glial cells were established from the spinal cord of 16-day-old C57/Bl6 mice (Harlan). Animals were sacrificed in aseptic conditions. Spinal cords were dissected, freed from meninges and collected in cold HBSS supplemented with calcium and magnesium (Gibco), glucose (Sigma, 6 g/L) and 1% antibiotic solution (penicillin/streptomycin, Gibco). Tissues were chopped and rinsed (3 times) in HBSS (without calcium and magnesium, 1% antibiotic solution), supernatant was removed. Tissues were re-suspended in 1.5 ml of DMEM/F12 medium (Invitrogen) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin and treated with 2 ml 0.25% trypsin-EDTA (Gibco) for 20 minutes at 37°C. Trypsin was inactivated by adding 10% FBS. DNAse1 (10mg/ml, Rotkreuz. Switzerland) was then added. Cells were mechanically dissociated and re-suspended in 10ml of culture medium consisting of DMEM/F12, glucose 6 g/L, glutamax 100X (Gibco), 10% FBS (Gibco) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. Centrifugation (5min, 500g, room temperature) was done and supernatant removed. Cells were re-suspended in the same culture medium and plated at a final concentration of 50 000 cells/well on glass coverslips treated with 25 μg/ml of low-molecular weight poly-D-lysine (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO) in 24-well dishes (Nunc, Roskilde, Danemark).

The plasmids used encode the C-FLAG-tagged human GPR83 WT (NM_016540.4) or N-FLAG-tagged human MC3R WT (NM_019888.3) ligated into pcDNA3.1(+) (Invitrogen).

We successfully generated 5 primary sarcoma cell cultures, 2 OS and 3 UPS, starting from biopsies or thoracentesis of metastatic (n = 4) or primitive (n = 1) tumor sites. All individuals provided informed consent according to a protocol approved by the Internal Review Board and Ethic Committee.
Four sarcoma cultures (S1, S3, S5 and S16) were previously obtained from surgical biopsy and characterized by our group.30 S22 osteosarcoma culture was generated starting from freshly isolated thoracentesis, obtained in a sterile vacuum bottle. Tumoral cells were isolated from fluid by centrifugation and resuspended in KnockOut Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s: Nutrient Mixture F-12 Medium (KO DMEM:F12 medium, Gibco BRL, Life Technologies Italia) with the addition of penicillin (50 U/ml), streptomycin (50 μg/ml), Glutamax 100X (all from Gibco BRL, Life Technologies Italia). Cells were seeded in 10% heat-inactivated Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS, Euroclone Spa), in multi-well plates treated for anchorage-dependent cultures (Corning/Costar, VWR International PBI S.r.l.) at clonal density (104-105 cells per cm2).

Fibroblasts were cultured in MEM (Gibco) supplemented with 15% FBS (Atlanta Biologicals), Glutamax 100x (Gibco) and penicillin/streptomycin 100x (Sigma). Normal human fibroblasts (GLB1+/+; Coriell GM-00010) and GM1 fibroblasts (GLB1−/−; GM-10919) were grown in 35 mm glass bottom dishes (MatTek) for 24 h. The media was then replaced in the GM1 fibroblasts with serum-free MEM containing 500 ng/ml of β-gal:RTB. The media was also replaced with serum-free MEM in normal and GM1 fibroblasts as controls. Samples were incubated for 2 h at 37°C to allow uptake of β-gal:RTB. Cells were then fixed with 0.1 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.3 supplemented with 5 mM EGTA (Sigma), 2 mM MgCl2 and 0.2% glutaraldehyde (Sigma) for 15 min at room temperature. Cells were subsequently washed 2X with wash buffer (5 min each; 0.1 M phosphate buffer, 2 mM MgCl2 pH 7.3). X-gal (5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-β-D-galactoside) at 1 mg/ml was prepared in staining buffer [0.1 M citrate phosphate buffer, pH 4.6, 5 mM K4Fe(CN)6-3H20 (Sigma) and 5 mM K3Fe(CN)6 (Sigma)] and filtered through a 0.2 um filter to remove crystals. X-gal solution was added to the fibroblasts and incubated overnight inside a humidified chamber at 37°C. X-gal solution was removed; fibroblasts were washed 3X with wash buffer, and images were acquired using a Nikon TE2000 phase contrast microscope with a 60X objective.

Cells on a six-well plate were washed twice for 5 min each in methionine/cysteine-free DMEM and incubated with methionine/cysteine-free DMEM supplemented with 10% dialyzed FBS, GlutaMax 100X (Gibco), sodium pyruvate 100× (Gibco) and 100 μg/ml emetine (Sigma-Aldrich) (an irreversible cytosolic translation inhibitor) for 20 min at 37°C. Cells were then incubated in the same media supplemented with 166.7 μCi/ml of [35S]-methionine (Perkin Elmer) for 30 min at 37°C to label the newly synthesized mitochondrially encoded proteins. After washing three times with PBS, cells were lysed and 30 μg aliquots were separated on 10–20% Tris-glycine (Invitrogen) SDS-PAGE gels. Gels were dried for 2 h at 65°C and exposed on a phosphoimager screen prior to visualization with Typhoon FLA 7000 phosphoimager.

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.
