H9 hESCs were differentiated to splanchnic mesoderm by addition of BMP4 (100 ng/ml, R&D Systems) and Wnt3a (25 ng/ml, R&D Systems) for 4 days.
H9 differentiation towards hepatocytes was performed as described in the literature [26 (link)]. Briefly, H9 cells were primed towards definitive endoderm in RPMI 1640 medium (ATCC, Manassas, VA) supplemented with B27, Activin A and Wnt3a for 3 days. Hepatic differentiation was induced in KnockOut-DMEM-medium (ATCC) supplemented with DMSO and KnockOut-Serum replacement (Life Technologies) for 5 days. Hepatic maturation was continued for 9 days in L-15 medium (ATCC) containing hepatic growth factor (R&D Inc., Minneapolis, MN), oncostatin M (R&D Inc.) and 10% FBS (Life technologies).

Colorectal cancer cell lines CaCo2, HCT116 and SW480 were acquired from ATCC (Manassas, VA, USA). All cells are adherent with epithelial morphology. CaCo2 cells were cultured in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) (Biowest, Nuaillé, France) supplemented with 20% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (GE Healthcare-Hyclone, Chicago, IL, USA); HCT116 cells were cultured in McCoy’s 5A (Biowest, Nuaillé, France) supplemented with 10% FBS and SW480 cells in L-15 medium (ATCC) with 10% FBS. A mixture of antibiotics including 100 U/mL penicillin and 100 μg/mL streptomycin (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland) was added to all cell cultures.

Whole blood was diluted in 0.9 % NaCl solution in a 1:1 ratio and lymphocytes were isolated by density gradient centrifugation using lymphoprep solution (Axis-shield PoC, Oslo, Norway) upon centrifugation at 1800 × g at 20 °C for 20 min. A clear distinct layer of mononuclear cells containing lymphocytes was carefully pipetted from the tube and cultured in L-15 medium (ATCC, Borås, Sweden), supplemented with 10 % fetal bovine serum (FBS; Sigma Aldrich, Stockholm, Sweden), at 37 °C. The lymphocytes were then stimulated with heat-killed E. fecalis (CCUG, Gothenberg University, Sweden) at an optical density (OD) of 1 and incubated at 37 °C for 3 weeks (Additional file 1). After 3 weeks, the medium was collected and centrifuged at 3000 × g for 10 min to pellet the cells. The supernatant was filtered using 0.45 μm sterile filters (Thermofisher Scientific, Stockholm, Sweden) and centrifuged again using 100 KDa Amicon Microcon Centrifugal Filters (Millipore, Molsheim, France) at 3000 × g for 60 min. Antibodies with molecular weight over 100KDa were recovered from the filters by pipetting and were stored at −70 °C until further use.

Establishment of Stable Cell Lines with PMIS Inhibitors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To establish stable cell lines, we used PMIS inhibitor plasmids PMIS-miR-17, PMIS-miR-18a, PMIS-miR-19a, and PMIS-miR-92a-1, and the construction of these vectors has been previously described.20 (link) To produce lentivirus, 100-mm dishes of HEK293FT cells were transfected with a mix of psPAX2, pMD2.G, and the desired inhibitor construct using PEI (3:1 PEI:DNA ratio). After 48 h, cells and media containing the virus were harvested. Cells were pelleted and lysed and the filtered supernatant was used to infect ATC SW579 and MDA-T32 cells. Both cell lines were successfully transduced and expressed the PMIS inhibitor construct and GFP several days after infection. These cells were purified by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) sorting and puromycin (1 μg/mL) selection and maintained in L-15 medium according to the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) protocol. MDA-T32 cells (ATCC, CRL3351) were cultured in RPMI with 10% FBS serum.

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.
